The Great Sword seems to require more patience than I have to offer. Still beat the Lagombi but it took 15+ minutes.

This game was/is awesome!
Now I need to camp out at a gamestop and find out if there is ANYONE in this area that plays this game. If I can find at least one person locally getting the Wii U or 3DS version, and I make friends with them, then I can justify buying the 3DS version. If not, well no point buying it.
When Smash Bros. comes out, I know I'll be getting both Wii U and 3DS versions.

iCEMANnoob is streaming the 3DS (JAP) version of MH3U right now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmUuJ9X9huo
Seems he is facing off against a Hungry Deviljho.
EDIT: It's finished.
This seems to be it.

Riiiight. 
We played together before? I'm thinking we have, but I'm not entirely sure.
In any event, I'll have to get my game back from my cousin so that I can join in. Should be fun!

Not that I dislike this kind of initiative, but you could take this one of the Monster Hunter community threads and let this one be about the Ultimate demo.

I did my first Plesioth run earlier today and my god, could they have chosen a worse monster to show off the underwater fighting portions. Even as a defender of the underwater battles in Tri, his unwieldy body and huge hitbox attacks make for a terrible first underwater experience. A completely different (and inferior) vibe to the elegance of a Lagi battle or even Gobul.
Shit decision.

You're right, my bad. Will talk about it in the MH series thread then I guess.
crit draw, hg earplugs, sharpness +1 = end game armour abilities for GS.
focus just throws off my L3 charges
I think it's ZR. It does work, it makes a little noise when you hit it.

Rapid-shots.
so if I have an Aussie MH3U for the 3DS, and I have a US Wii U and US MH3U game... Does that mean I can play online on the US servers if I transfer my 3DS game on my US Wii U????
If so, then if I have another Wii U, this time Aussie Wii U and Aussie MH3U game. I can alternate playing between US and PAL servers?????

Still hurts that the 3DS version isn't online. My friend who plays MH games lives in SF and I'm in Illinois.
Its a real shame that they couldn't, or wouldn't, get the 3DS version to go online.

I still haven't gotten a chance to put too much time into the demo but I'm getting used to the dual analog controller setup slowly but surely. If you were a wiimote/nunchuck fan in Tri like me definitely try the classic controller pro if you have not already done so. I'm talking about the wii one not the $50 wiiU one. All I had was the original classic controller and wow is it bad for any game that uses the sticks. I picked up the pro just for 3U. I am still getting used to the buttons but the sticks feel familiar to the nunchuck. That familiar feeling should really help for folks who gunned much in Tri. Aiming felt so different with the gamepad.
Well if you didn't know how to load ammo with bowgun your character would just shake his/her gun for 20min. I'm hoping that would be a strong enough hint

So I just devoted about 3 Lagombi runs to figuring out all the ins and outs of the gunlance. I really love it.
I get a kick out of going poke, poke, bang, repeat. The blast seems to push you back a perfect distance compared to the triple poke dodge I'd be doing with the lance.
On the 3DS, there's a small button on the corner of the touch screen that replaces what + used to do on Tri for the most part (man is that ever useless for the SnS). The demo refers to it as the special attack button. Anyway, I'm guessing gunlance doesn't have any use for that when the weapon is drawn? Or maybe it only does something in a certain part of a combo that I haven't figured out yet?

I don't want to admit how long I went before I figured out how to actually use my bowgun's scope. I just used the quick aiming.
As far as I can remember, the "special attack" button doesn't do anything for the Gunlance. Running through its movelist in my head I certainly can't think of anything it would do. Man...I still wish I was better with the Gunlance. I keep trying to use it and I like the concept a lot but it still feels like a bit of a pain to me compared to the normal Lance.
In other news that's probably unimpressive to most hunters here, I finally managed to take down Plesioth. It's probably about my fifth attempt at him since I got the demo, all previous fights with him timing out. This one nearly did as well but a sudden and frantic flurry of Hunting Horn attacks to his head kept him KO'd and flinching enough to put him down (never even saw him flinching, so the sudden victory came as a surprise to me). Certainly hasn't dulled my enthusiasm for trying to learn the HH at all!
I've now beat both Lagombi and Plesioth with every weapon. Though, I did get kittycarted by Plesioth when killing them with either bowgun for the first time.
Everyone getting the 3DS version needs to try bowgunning a big monster at least once. It's horrifying when you've got the 3D up and you see a Plesioth charging at you in first-person.
Also, quoting myself for new page:
Not sure if it's worth it, but the side smack should cause stamina drain if you hit the body. I like to slip it in before I roll away or use it to link charge attacks on a immobile monster.

Whoa, you're the one who made that guide? I used that when I started with the series. Thanks!

Yea I've run Trine 2 on it. I just tried the demo again and now it works. Its a hdd with no power supply. Well I'm good now since it worked.

Finally downed Plesioth! couldn't get it done with Dual Swords (which has been my favorite weapon so far) so I switched to the Long Sword and did it first try. The 19th can't get here fast enough, I think I am gonna pre-order at Gamestop and hope that the digital guide is good.
You can't, sorry. :/
Finally beat Pleso with the GS. Got lucky with fishing him out and having bombs setup where he lands. Almost didn't get that in because after the fishing out animation happened I accidentally jumped in the water so I only got my small barrel bomb in as he was standing up, luckily he didn't move away by the time they all went off.
Still took around 17 minutes though.
Checked my Wii U log and I have 7.5 hours logged on the demo already. I don't think I've ever played a demo more than an hour before.

Lame. I need to convince someone to get the Wii U version.
Betrayer. I think I stopped playing before we moved off Wisdom 1.

This demo has allowed me learn how to use, and experiment with every weapon in the game, which I never got around to doing in Tri. I mostly stuck with what I knew which was the Long Sword for the most part, and sometimes the S&S, and the hammer.
I'm gonna be crafting tons of weapons this time around I think

Yeah, this demo is great for people who have played it before but I noticed it's not really good for new players.
I believe so. Honestly, I haven't really paid much attention to it, but apparently, you can use any type of ammo on it to damage the tail. However, the last ammo that actually cuts the tail off has to be done with sliced-based ammo like slice shot. I'm not sure if all 3 bowgun types are capable of cutting tails off since I'm not familiar with using this weapon class.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJk5pT8NLfA
This player cuts the tail off at 5:50.
I totally agree with this. I hated having to use unfamiliar weapons in Tri's arena, but it's much more for experimenting here. I'll probably still stick to the GS for solo progression, but I'll keep some DS and HH for grinding and coop.
Yeah me too, it also seems like it does less damage in water, but it certainly is much easier to dodge and hit in water.
Royal Ludroth would probably have been the best "introductory" water monster, but I think that would have lacked the excitement of the Plesioth battle. Having Royal Ludroth as a "Medium" difficulty option in addition to the other two probably would have made a world of difference to people experiencing underwater combat for the first time though.
You can still break their face with the Switch Axe, just not as easily and with significantly less of that satisfying "crunch."
If the monster knows you're in the area you can't fish.
Hammer is a weapon that's pretty easy to pick up in the early game because it's high mobility and high impact, so it has a really nice learning curve to it. I'd probably recommend it most if this is your first MH. Super fun weapon.
Do what I do and pick both! You'll eventually get to a point where when farming for one weapon or armor set, you'll have leftover materials that can be used for another weapon type.
Also, choosing both allows you to be versatile in single player if say, for example, you main the Hammer for face bashing, but need to cut off monster tails with the Switch Axe.
But I have to say, the full explosion special attack in sword mode on the Switch Axe is just as satisfying as breaking monster's faces in.

The continual X swing of the SA after a monster is KO'd or trapped feels great. It almost feels like cheating to get so many hits in. This is from a main GS user. Im sure if you are use to dual sword its no big thing, but dam it felt good in Tri

Chicken shark down! I did it with dual blades on Wii U. I just tried to hit him in the face more and I also got like 3 paralyzations.
I remember the first time I met Plessy on MHFU, in that cave, I went in with the GS in spite of advice to the contrary and then played the waiting game like some Ahab (or every other player). The white (not white) whale (fish) hiding in the sea, playing tricks. Spent close to the 50 minutes finishing him off. In this demo, under 10 minutes. Not with the GS, mind.

It's the reason why I'm so interested in it. The Club Hunt contest and being a part of Clan Centurio was awesome.
