Actually I think you can side dodge while you have your lance out.

That is a lance tutoral. Learned a few different things such as instant guard. Which is handy when you are surprised. First you hold R then press X and A and you will take out your shield real quick. I watched all of the videos these past 3 days and it helps alot.

Ah, yeah... the whole R+X+A thing I learned pretty quickly. As a bowgunner, you press that combination to instant reload/aim. I figured it did something similar for a lancer, I just didn't know what. o_O

To me the lance seems a bit overpowered. It has a fairly high attack with how quickly you can attack with it. Plus, since you block attacks instead of having to run/roll out of the way, you can stay near a monster and counter quickly. You can get in a lot more hits compared to the hammer and great sword.

The long sword also seems like a superior weapon. It also has a high attack for its speed. Though without a shield, long sword users tend to get smacked around. I haven't ever used a switch axe, so I can't yet judge where it falls.

I'd agree that the long sword is one of the best weapons.

As for the switch axe, there's no defense on the switch axe, either, so it shares some of the disadvantages of the long sword while lacking it's speed. In either mode, it is much faster and far less cumbersome than the Great Sword or Hammer; and in axe mode, it has far greater range than either, which is great for attacking groups of monsters. It's also nice because you can briefly switch from the axe to the sword for more focused, swifter attacks on a single enemy.

I've also found the axe to be fairly powerful compared to similarly-leveled weapons of other types. I think the Long Sword still comes out on top in offensive power simply because successive spirit combos can deal devastating punishment.

I finally beat Quropeco. It was a whole easier considering that I built up my collection of healing items and adamant seed.

Stratos · « **Reply #705 on:** July 15, 2010, 08:38:12 PM »

Or you could join us online and we could fight monsters together.

Or so that you can impress me with your awesome Qurupeco hunting skills.

Kytim89 · « **Reply #707 on:** July 15, 2010, 10:06:47 PM »

You guys could hunt Royal Ludroth with me since I have never hunted online with anyone on this forum.

Mop it up · « **Reply #708 on:** July 15, 2010, 10:34:13 PM »

I like Royal Ludroth. It's very fun to shoot with my bowgun!

Hey did you ever add your online info the FC thread Kytim?
We kinda don't play with many people outside of our friendlist. So be sure to add your info in the FC topic.It will probably get buried in this topic.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #711 on:** July 19, 2010, 08:34:13 PM »

I think I am HR54 now.

Halbred · « **Reply #712 on:** July 19, 2010, 08:44:51 PM »

I haven't played this in so long. I'd like to try online again. It kept giving me error messages last time I tried to play on a Tuesday hunter's night.

Stratos · « **Reply #713 on:** July 20, 2010, 04:03:34 AM »

It would be awesome to hunt monsters with you, Halbred. Have you played with us at all? I don't think I even have you in my friend list.

I'm at like 47 or 48. Won't be getting very far this week because a lot of Real Life stuff is happening at the moment. Might make it late tomorrow for a bit.

I get the feeling that you will go into "Dino Mode" while we are fighting some monsters.
Anyway what error code are you getting?

What would have made this game a whole lot better is if it had some kind of tracking for health of your hunter's body similar to that of Metal Gear Solid 3. If a Great Jaggi whips you with his tail, your ribs become broken and must be splinted. If not, your stamina gauge will not fill back to full with items or meat.

This isn't exact, but the length of the Stamina meter does deplete over time. Well-done steaks are a good thing!

Basically you hunter would develope scars from the battle damage inflicted upon him by the monster you fight during the game. Theses scars would be visable if you remove the hunter's armor, or they would be visable on the hunter's face. Scars create a dramatic feel to each hunter and gives the impression that he/she has been drug through hell to quell all these beasts. These scars would consist of both scratches and burns, but also if bones were broken as well.

In a homage to the first Predator movie, Capcom should have included a monster who hunts via infared eyesight. The hunter would then have to cover himseld in mud and hunt the creature.

Until the monster self destructs, taking the hunter with it!

No. The hunter would survive, but the entire area would be flattened. Cha-cha would show up riding in a helicopter and the hunter would then go on to the next battle.

Kytim89 · « **Reply #721 on:** July 21, 2010, 12:34:20 AM »

Monster Hunter kind of reminds me of the Predator movies. You, the individual hunter, are kind of like the Predator villian from the movies. There are several similarities between the two.

First, both the MH hunter and the Predator hunt their prey with an assotment of items and weapons. The Hunter has axes, hammers and bowguns. The Predator has a **** load of high tech weapons at disposal. The arsenal of both characters is used to aid both in their hunts.

Second, both the hunter and predator implement armor in their hunts.

Third, when a bunch of hunters from MH3 get online togehter and hunt, they remind me of the pack of Predators who appear at the end of the second film.

So I found a pretty nice article about Monster Hunter Tri. It basically shows off everything that it has going for it.

http://wingdamage.com/the-thrill-of-the-hunt-thoughts-on-being-a-monster-hunter/

Does any of the points he emphisized resinate with you?

I personally think the helpful online community is what makes me happy about the game. I wonder if since Tri is really the biggest push into the west that all the veterans are helping all the new players. I admit I really had no idea on the nuances of the game other than hunting monsters when it came out but I have learned alot.
