I can relate!

Counters in general usually require being targeted/hit in order to operate so yes being solo gives you significantly more opportunities to counter because you are always being targeted.

@@Yoesol yes I know, so I guessing I want to practice I gotta go palicoless

🙏

Nah fr I had to take a nice long break. Had too much going on. Was disappointed with sunbreak too at the time so I moved on to other games for a bit.

Just be patient. You have much more time than you think so there’s no need to spam in between. The first two hits of your spirit combo have armor so you can’t be tripped and can be heavily delayed to give you more time to foresight. The key to countering is knowing the monsters move sets and patterns. If you don’t even have an idea of what’s coming at you next then countering will be difficult.

Yeah that whiff was brutal lmao. Maybe silver rath. I did gold rath with bow. Not really interested in going back to that with Ls maybe tho. I was thinking of running Zinogre back. The raths are super rng.

@@Yoesol they are but thats why I love them - Zyn telegraphs like crazy - how about Brute Tigrex? That is always insane. Blows you right out of the sky during a helmsbreaker - its wild

@@TheReayning Almost all of the monsters heavily telegraph tho, Id argue Brute Tiggy is one the worst offenders of that. I have a video up of him too. That is one of the most consistent runs after you learn it. It just comes down to how good your start is and if you get lucky. Rng isnt crazy tho. Much worse with Zinogre. Ive had S tier runs be ruined simply because it refuses to charge up or just spams headbutt into side body slam outside of charged state. You need it to be charged to deal good damage. And thats just one example. I already have 2 videos of Zinogre but they were very early on into this little journey of mine so im sure regardless of rng i can definitely improve those runs significantly. Where as Brute Tigrex it would be a lot more rng that i cant really make up for/Improvise. It would just be a slightly slower run and i would do another after. Long story short after learning brugrex every single run is sub 3, kind of like garuga. With little nuances plus how good you start, determining whether or not it is significantly faster than sub 3.

Yeah after a few runs I remember now. Farewell Zinogre might the biggest rng nightmare out there. I remember why I stopped doing it now. It will literally refuse to charge up the entire fight. If it doesn’t charge runs dead. Which is 90% of time. Then most of the time it’s way too oversized to even make an attempt so I have to reset until it spawns in smaller lol. Reconsidering even wasting my time with this

lol@@Yoesol

Wassup goat. Thank you!

Nah. Thanks though!

Np man. We’ve all been there.

Yoooo thanks for watching them. Rathian imo is the best training dummy in the game. ISS is second nature with practice. Some attacks can be hard to time even with practice. Not only harder but much more satisfying than in sunbreak as well imo.

Yes I’m on Xbox my gamer tag is my name. Sounds fun but I don’t play monster hunter very much anymore. Might return to do some of the monsters I’ve never done but other than that idk. ( That’s a big “might”)

Divine Slasher

@@Yoesol Divine Slasher was in the first game. 1200 raw. Had no idea it was in world lol

Blast resistance

Sure I can answer your questions. So in the beginning I claw the monster 3 times and I do weaken the part. The 3 hits is to immediately enrage the monster to activate agitator asap. I do not do a knockdown because it is against the rules (TA Wiki) of the category the speedrun is in. In TA rules, you cannot use mantles, palicos, traps, bombs, slinger ammo, flinch shots( the slinger knockdown) , endemic life. Etc ( pretty much the only thing that is allowed is fighting the monster with your weapon, healing and buffing) The reason I clutch claw a monster during a “clagger” (stagger that gives you an opportunity to clutch claw) is because it causes the monster to stay in the animation longer to give you time to tenderize. But if you dismount immediately after instead you still get that increased time while also having an opening to do whatever.

@@Yoesol Thank you for this, very helpful!

It’s not bad. Can be intimidating on first encounter. Just bring blast resistance 3 and you’ll be fine. Tenderizing the legs makes it very easy to trip it. Good luck! 👍 And thx for watching.

My build is always shown at the end of the fight.

Thx Snarl, it’s definitely a noticeable transition from Ls to Gs with the loss of mobility but it’s nice not having any maintenance/requirements to do damage.

Ty Lelouch 🙏.

I appreciate that snake. I’ll take a screenshot of layered the next time I’m on, I made that set a while ago and don’t remember the pieces. I know it has Ebony Odogaron chest and waist B.

@@Yoesol no problem it's always nice to come binge watch the vids time to time

Thx Robin. The dung pod is used to distract the monster in the beginning so that I can tenderize before aggro.

@@Yoesol Oh thanks ! I was always wondering why I had no time to do it while players could on video. Thank you for this, that will help for sure !

What’s good Chris! Thx bro.

What’s up Reayning. That move is harmless lol not much to save from, and id have to strongly disagree with the last part. But thx for tuning in bro 🫡 He does look like a big *ss turkey

@@Yoesol ok who was your go to when training LS? lol

@@TheReayning I never really trained longsword at all but there were monsters that forced me to improve and sharpen up when attempting runs against them. I personally got into speedrunning with Day of Ruin Teostra . I think it did a great job of laying a foundation of what is required to kill fast/efficiently with longsword. The script is easy enough to learn, forces you to familiarize yourself with various ISS timings and positionings . Forces you to be accurate and only hit tenderized zone more than most monsters. And teaches you patience. Velkhana is also another good one. But for just an easy training dummy that can also give practice I think Rathian is the best in the game for most weapons. That could be bias tho. I disagree with Anjanath because practicing it will only really help you against it and not the rest of the cast. Maybe other brute wyverns and that’s just because of how tiny their heads are when trying to hit helm breakers. Imo something thats fast , hits decently hard and is predictable would be best for longsword practice. Anjanath doesn’t really have any of that . In fact this monster has been one of the most random in terms of attacks out of my runs. Not to mention it has a lot of bad attacks that kind of don’t do anything and you can’t really punish well. Like the side sweeping flame you referred to that I don’t think I’ve ever been hit by even when I first started the game lol

@@Yoesol Velkhana vs LS is definitely an interesting fight - high skill for sure. Rathian is a solid training agreed. But for beginners, under 60 hrs say, Anjanath gives a solid performance with telegraphed moves, small delays to accustom yourself to the weapon reaction time, some strong moves and just a good size for training (I am looking at a more amateur level of players that work on a weapon to become somewhat decent at least). Teos a great one for advanced and Zyn/Styg Zyn & Ruiner Nerg are also excellent for reaction times and delays not to mention they can hit hard. But of course, at late endgame, they become so fun to fool around with lol. All in all though, you can see your tight reaction times and your small delays after an attack when considering the monsters (and your) next move. Solid and fun to watch 👌
