Really well done Xan. This is well-explained, easy to follow, and, most importantly, extremely informative.

Double thumbs up for the narration too, Paolo kills it again!

This was super helpful. I've watched a couple other people go over the GS but in terms of what you mention from your beginner video to here is very very informative and tbh I love that you mention which moves are clearly useless in your beginner one. Helped jumpstart me using GS even though I still need to get used to patterns.

You're always so amazingly thourogh with these guides! Clips that perfectly illustrate every point and not a single stone left unturned. Excellent work again, Xan!

I am really new to GS and this videos made not only understand better the weapon but monster behavior. I've deen some improvement after playing GS and Hammer. I loved the video ❤

That buddy tip was really nice, thanks for this great guide man!

Love the content. Excellent work putting those GS skills into words!

These are some really good tips for the greatsword users out their. Learned a couple of things myself 👍🏻 The guard unsheathe has changed the way I play. Thanks!

Great guide! I've been somewhat struggeling getting into 5th gen gs after mostly playing old world gs and this really helped

I've been using greatsword since starting Rise, and granted, I'm not super far into the game. That being the case, I still felt like I was missing stuff after watching a few guides. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, and the production value is also chefs kiss. Great work

I was doing a few of these things but i definitely learned some new stuff lol. I was a GS main until 4th gen and after seeing the new combos in sunbreak ive since picked it back up. Thanks for the tips ^^

With slower weapons button mashing usually doesn't happen but with ones with faster combo's it can happen regardless of intent simply because if you don't press in the right order fast enough you end up not executing the combo's.

I really like the GS I’m replaying mhr on my first play through I used insect glaive and I’m so used to not dodging because the leap does it for me so this guide was very helpful thanks

Great video. Rage Slash was a lot more fun and cinematic for me when I played the switch version, but I feel like I might switch back to TCS purely for the numbers.

Here we go. Hyped for this. Okay, so now I know I want dogs rather then my cats. Even know what to equip now. Maybe some day I will be able to master TCS, but it frustrated me alot in World. RS seems more forgiven and beginner friendly, but less strong. Can't wait for Sunbreak and/or your next GS video. Cheers.

Thank you sensei

5:18 nice transition :)

Best guide out there.

just discovered your channel, learning 2 new weapons for Sunbreak (SnS then GS), and your video is eye opening. I am really an amateur and I am not very good with monster's patterns. If you can do few videos on monsters' patterns and positioning that would be amazing (It can be youtube shorts for instance). Like your clip at 2:28 I never noticed that Magnamolo, after a charge like this, does a slow stomp and you can do your full combo at a distance easily like this. GS is very very intimidating due to the placement!

I really hope to see more of this come Sunbreak, as you've managed to actually teach me a weapon I've previously thought I was completely incapable of learning. I could never get GS to click for me. I've been a IG, SA, CB, GL and HH player, basically adding those weapons to that list as they were added. GS was one I tried every game starting in 2 and bounced hard off of. I can confidently pick up any weapon and use it effectively to a G Rank level, except GS. At least until now. This and the basics video finally got me understanding GS, and while I'm still learning, I'm definitely not far behind my SA clear times now, which is my main weapon in Rise. I'm even beating my best times on some monsters with other weapons first time with GS. GS is definitely going to be one weapon I use in Sunbreak when I decide to grind it's better match ups.

@@XanMH1 Sweet. Please also include tips on managing the camera. I'm having difficulty trying to manage the right stick while also hitting y and b. I'm missing a lot of well timed strikes, especially TCS because my angle is off and I'm not really sure how to improve that. Is your right hand in some kind of claw grip or someth that allows you to keep your thumb on the stick while still hitting the rt/rb and y/b at the same time or something?

excellent thank you

Another xan banger

Hey, great video! Actually it would be cool to see some match up tips for the end game monsters. Like how to avoid and punish some of the moves as great sword I think we're lacking this type of content in English.

A tip that still works from the old world is head sniping. It’s simple to perform, simply position yourself beside or to the rear of a monster and time the charge to the turn of the weakspot. This is better if your running punish draw and crit draw on your set so you can optimize the effects of those skills

It would be awesome to get specific monster videos showing what attacks to use in different openings.

I'm been a GS main since I've been playing MH, some of these techniques I never even considered before now. That's what I love about the Monster Hunter franchise. You can play for years and still not know everything, but you also don't necessarily need to in order to succeed.

Hey Xan! Great video! I really want to main greatsword and I'm just curious about your approach to learning each monster that you fight in Rise. How much practice do you put into each fight that you post on your channel? Do you use any resources to learn a monsters attack patterns and movesets? Thanks in advance for any information or knowledge you can provide to us noobies!

@XanMH1

2 жыл бұрын

The best way to learn monsters is a combination of fighting them a lot by yourself and looking at how other people fight it. I've put anywhere between 10 and 100+ hours into my Rise runs, but most of that is resetting for favorable attacks or dog behaviour. Learning the monster itself only takes between 2-5 hours I'd say. The only resources you can use for this are monster guides and speedruns.

I can’t wait for follow you on sunbreak content.

Having playing MHW so long, i forgot how beautiful those weapon designs used to

The guard roll is insane i've never thought of transforming a defensive move into an offensive one, this will greatly increase my style of play in rise, this and figure it out how i can shorten my adamant slash dash, i still don't get it ^^. Thumb up 👍👍 Edit: I finish watching the beginner guide so shorten the adamante slash invole to not put a direction while you do the move it as to be neutral, got it ^^.

Hello, do you plan on doing a low rank -> high rank gs progression guide? Or would you have any Gs you would recommend for each?

@XanMH1

I thought about it for a while but no plans for it atm. I recommend upgrading iron or bone gs until you can fully upgrade narga.

wtf, that first trick I've been doing and I've never had a name for it nor have I consciously thought about that I've been doing it.

Thoughts on Gathering Cats? I've been exclusively using Gathering cats to get more monster parts, and I've heard discussions that gathering cats are the most useful for this reason. But as you mentioned Dog deals more status damage, which can be useful.(i just wanna hear what other people think)

What's your thought on using 2 trapper palicos, each with 2 separate trap skill. At the same time, our hunter carrying 4 traps (with trap tool). Wouldn't this open up at least 5-6 openings for TCS and possibly cause topple and or stun for even more TCS?

I had no clue shoulder reset the stun 😅

Yeah I've noticed kick feeling sluggish on 30+ fps. I felt like delaying the kick input a little more after guarding helped me perform it faster.

I was wondering why roll dodge was so different from World, guard rolling.

guard sheathing... of course dawg I feel so dumb like when Fry from futurama took a dump everywhere instead of the corner while in a dungeon prison. the corner of course!! guard sheathing course!! 😂 same energy

Like the NileRed of Monster Hunter. Edited-forgot a period

I'm assuming the threshold resets after everytime a monster flinch right? I tried the luring technique demonstrated during the goss horag charge part. But what ends up happening usually is that as soon as I release my charged rage slash /TCS, I still get blown away because the monster didnt flinch after landing it on their head lol. It's funny.

I can seem to get wyvern riding skill to pop up well or quickly with the great sword. I attack the non quest monster and it still takes forever.
