I’m sure they think they’re the smartest peeps ever too with the SA changes. Oh look you can’t flash rathalos when he’s mad. Hey hey look at buffed upswing and new axe moves so you can dunk him.
No, fuck off.

Switch axe needs a complete overhaul. It just feels incomplete and has a GLARING inferiority complex with the Charge Blade.
Charge Blade has more invincibility frames on evades, and a shield to guard attacks and a great repositioning attack. Switch axe evading sucks without evade extender, and its only defensive option is a GARBAGE fade slash that takes like 3 seconds to recover from which leaves you vulnerable to attack.
Charge blade’s elemental discharge can be performed while in sword and shield mode, and does all its damage in one hit. Switch axe’s can only be done in sword mode and takes so fucking long to do. That you do more dps by just doing wild swing into morph attack then sword combos. And the amped version is actually worse! You end up half ass mounting the monster because the monster can still attack you and disrupt the attack. And if you some how pull it off. It’s not even a guaranteed knockdown or even a flinch. The monster could still attack you during the recovery animation!
They really need to go back to the drawing board with switch axe. Theres no reason to use it as is while charge blade exist.
Nvm lol
CB hops have the same iframes as all hops.

Oh really. Ok my bad. But everything else I take issue with is still valid though. Also the other non guarding melee weapons have solid defensive techniques. Insect glave and dual blades have great speed and mobility. Long sword has a counter move and a great move for repositioning. Switch axe though? A shitty fade slash that takes forever to recover from. You’d think you’d get something to make up for the poor mobility and no guarding. But no…
Yo’ this thing here!!
Its goin’ be a problem!!
I haven’t played any of the previous MH games, so I did not know how to handle Tigrex.
I would have had beaten him but the timer ran it.
Still I see why you all put respect on T-Rex name!!

Hey, SA guys, are you sure SA didn’t get buffed? JinJinx and Tuna, the guys that do all the math for damage sets and the like, they’re saying SA got some juicy buffs.
Switch axe is still ass. The buffs dont fix the fundamental flaws with the weapon.
.Doesnt have any decent defensive techniques to make up for the lack of mobility and no guard. I.e long sword has the counter move and a good repositioning attack in addition to better mobility than SA.
.Elemental discharge is ass. Takes way too long to dish out the full damage and you’re better off doing wild swing into morph attack combos dps wise. So a part of its kit which is suppose to be the best source of damage. Is actually better left unused.
As is. Switch axe is a high risk high reward weapon. But why deal with that when Other weapons offer more reward with less risk? The most obvious one being charge blade.
I just wanna know, is Monster Hunter IceB a stand alone game or does my Monster Hunter character and all the weapons, costumes etc
transfer into Iceborne once this game gets released on September?
IB is in game DLC. You just go right into it as long as you’ve beaten Xeno
Welp…
Just got done w/ Lance stuffs.
Time for Bow.
Switchaxe just doesn’t feel like it does in past games. Axe mode buffs ain’t doing it for me.
Done w/ Bow stuffs.
Hmm…
DB/random whatever later?
Managed to get one last session in before the beta ended just now.
Impressions later.
Might do some AT Kulve runs first for some rewards lolz.
The beta ended already?!
Damn, I wanted to try out the new moves for the LS.
Should have stopped trying to get runbacks on Tigrex.
Next weekend as well.

It starts again next weekend, cool!!
Tried out Sword and shield. I adore this weapon. It’s like I’ve been handicapping myself with the switch axe. The fluid movement, the ability to dodge on a dime while attacking. And you dont need evade extender to actually move some distance. The rapid attacks, the defensive technique with back step is SO good. The options with the back step to either disengage or go back into the fray if you see an opening.
Using a crit elementless dps build. With Barroth weapon. 100% affinity with crit boost jewels is ridiculous! I can’t believe I dismiss this weapon as a pure noob weapon never to be touched again. Shame on me.
