    I agree with the playstyle... like the main series, weapon mastery is the top priority. Maybe due to the timer, focusing on more damage is being more rewarded. You can' t just run around and outplay the monster in MHN.

    Yes and prolonged fights puts you in more risk of getting hit if you havent mastered the weapon. Getting hit means spending real money for potions. Upgrading weapons lessens that risk

    I can totally relate to this. Naturally I wanted to get big and strong. My main build is Black Diablos bow. However I was always interested in LS because of the more in-depth mechanics.... but never really invested. Then Chargeblade came out and the mechanics were so interesting I couldn't resist. Since I main Raw... I built all of the elemental Chargeblades and gear according. Today my favorite thing to do is to challenge 7 and 8 star monsters with grade 5 and 6 chargeblades. The fights are semi-long and you get to practice the entire move set. ...and as he said that comes with taking damage and potion use. I spend my first 4 or 5 daily potions challenging myself with the Chargeblade and then I go back to Ole' Faithful... the Cera Coilbender to finish out the day safely.

    Great video! Disassemble is a great idea, I think in a game like this where updates can change how you like your build it's only fair to be able to recoup your time investment in some way... but I guess they want you to have an incentive to keep playing. I'm really intrigued by the self imposed challenge of using underleveled weapons, that's my favorite type of "difficulty setting" in games.

    I wish they would let us break down (disassembly) old weapon and Amors because that was force on us either build new weapon/amors set or throw out materials that would be so wasteful, times that spend on hunts to get it. Maybe return some material back in using (melting) like in the monster world games but instead of getting new material just let us break down weapon/armor and get back the materials.

    The Japanese hunting style reminds me of when I was in Wrestling here in America. My teacher would say Wrestling is not about strength. I knew this to be partly incorrect. I was at the bottom of my class strength wise. I was also seeing a personal trainer for Wrestling. In addition to the Wrestling classes everyone else was doing. Strength is one part of the equation for leverage. I was trying harder than most of my class, which made me not the worst Wrestler. Though, my strength handicap made it so I never won a single match against another person.

    @@PauwerPlays In High School Wrestling you got a point if you were the first in a match to bring your opponent to the ground. Though, you had to pin them on the ground for so many seconds for the referee to declare it a win. I think 1 point was given for a first down and three for a pin. Though, it was decades ago.

    I didn't know you spoke Japanese. Very cool. Very interesting as well. Incidentally I was unknowingly trying to play Japaense playstyle. It *is* more satisfying. I'd like to see Japanese hunters take down strong monsters with underleveled melee weapons in Gyro. I feel like it sobmuch easier with lockon but it's a game mechanic so why not use it? I mean I don't but...

    @PauwerPlays In order to play that way, though, I'd have to craft alternate weaker elemental blades because my main elementals are pretty high already. Did you ask him is it because the Boltslicer is his favorite that he leveled it? The rest of his longswords were gr 8 and lower while Zin blade was gr10. Just curious.
