Yes, the purple assist-skill does that (as well as laying extra traps and telling you the timing for capture, etc.).

I main the Charge Blade this time around, I used Switch Axe pretty much exclusively in MH3U though.

I'm currently only using thw bow, but the armot sets aren't that ti go with it yet 
It depends. New 3ds :
- loads everything faster
- better textures
- better frame rate
- c stick is a Godsend (and makes it Playable for me)
- extra power allows multiple apps at once so you can post images miiverse
- 3d effect is usable and works amazing thanks to head tracking (could never use on old 3ds)
I played the Demo on the old xl and now have the new xl. Totally worth it to me.
Most important of all is how much time I'll be spending with the game, this was the biggest factors for me. Since I know I'll end up logging hundreds of hours on it, I wanted the best experience I could have.

I killed Zamtrios while he was in blob form and he stayed that way after dead. He looked like a deflated blimp 
hm weird, do you have the update installed?
Nerscylla, wow, what a brilliant design. What a beauty. And so much fun, so clever with its climbing and webbing. I've seen peeks of the MH4 monsters in videos before, but you can't really appreciate them fully until you're up on them yourself. This is what more reviews should focus on - evaluating the design of the monsters, the way they look and move and attack.
I agree with this, but for now most, if not all, game reviews are written for general audience, not for those genre enthusiasts. In-depth review like the one you wanted usually found in a blog or niche gaming sites.

Why does my CPP keep disconnecting whenever I re open my 3DS after a while? I even replaced my battery.

Is there any way to farm Armor Spheres or do you just get them from quests?
That happen to me too and I must quit the game to reactivate it again. It's kinda annoying since MH3U can detect CPP after you close the 3DS without quitting and reloading the game.
It uses IR and goes in standby to save battery, its stupid but thats how it is.
You can activate it again from the ingame menu.

Well, that one less annoyance. But still, MH3U doesn't need any reactivation somehow.

You need to press a button on the CPP before opening the 3DS, then it won't disconnect.

IG user get all the monster mounts
Well my other favourite weapon is the Long Sword which was super popular in 3U...
I kind of want to give the Bow a serious try now.
The menus are in English, but all the item names are still in Japanese. Bummer.

Useful site. It and some other useful resources are linked in the OP, too.

Actually, you need to both press one of the shoulder buttons AND go into the options menu and turn the CPP option back on.
Yeah, it's annoying, but at least you don't have to exit the game each time.
Yes I checked this site right after I posted
I'm an idiot
I appreciate the response though
Another option is to tap one of the shoulder buttons before opening the 3DS again and bringing it out of standby mode. That should prevent it from disconnecting entirely since the 3DS will see it's there when it wakes up.

Cruising along smoothly and then Gravios. Fuck off. I was annoyed at the amount of hard surfaces in the fights so far but this takes the cake. He's literally a rock for under blue sharpness. Can't even attack his belly on an angle because it'll cut through the other 90% of his body and deflect. I just crafted a weapon with a significant chunk of green sharpness now too. Ugh
I needed a reason to put the game down for the evening anyway.

can someone explain the kiranico damage charts? i guess lower numbers mean lower defense and therefore more damage in that region, right?
Lower number means lower damage if you hit that part of the body. You add this to the highest element they are weak to, just to increase your damage potential. Basically means check out damage charts for monsters you have a hard time beating and to also find out what element they are weak to, so you can have all weapons of all types ready.
If I remember correctly.
In the linked example, the head is the weak point and weaker to fire.

i see, thanks!
All of the new monsters have been amazing to fight so far and all of the old ones have enough new moves that you can tell serious effort went into updating them. If this quality keeps up this will easily end up becoming my favorite MH game.
I think it is linked to the sharpness your weapons as well. You get a bonus to damage at full and then as it degrades, the damage you inflict on that monster's weak spots also degrades, also with the bouncing potential increasing too.

Bottom of the chart shows the multiplier.
Fuuuck, now that you can jump stab out of a lance charge, it's gone from my least favorite move to THE BEST. I was charging at that spider monster when it decided to swing toward me, so I'm like fuck it, it's jousting time! Knocked its ass right out of the air. Then I fought Congalala. Toward the end of the fight I was just on fire with the combos and timed dodges. I knocked it over, charged, and finished it with a jump stab right in the face as it squirmed. So satisfying.
You can't polish it until you do the single player 2* Tetsucabra hunt. It unlocks a second blacksmith that polishes rusted weapons and armor.
The npc working with the forge loli in Karth.
You'll need abrasives though (from expeditions)
Is there any way to have details from online friends? like their hr and what quest they're on?
It's a huge downgrade from mh3u you don't know what you're joining...
Yup. Rathalos is getting them upgrades, made me double take when he tried (unsuccessfully) to rake me.
Yes, but you have to download it from the Eshop.
Have you got to tigrex yet? He even got an update to his theme!
