Ahah, I guess you're right. The 3DS version is a port of Tri again, however!

Thanks for the link. It will take me a while to figure out what it all means, but it's nice to see where stuff leads too.
I wish it had pictures though, I want stuff that looks awesome!

Just got back from EBGames, I traded in AC3. Guys working there are absolutely clueless, I shouldn't be surprised but still hilarious. Telling me lies left and right. Star Fox remake was on Wii, Smash Bros 4 is out next March, Banjo-Kazooie is coming to Wii U, etc. Fucking hilarious.
Anyway, wasn't a huge fan of MH3 on the Wii but I quit fairly early, however I liked the MH3U demo a lot and I think playing with more players online will get me more interested in the game; plus I've become more open in the last few years about playing challenging games and games that aren't to my liking. Can't wait to dive in. My NNiD is Haziqonfire if anyone wants to addy.

So I'm new to Monster Hunter. Bought both versions and started on the 3DS until I heard that the transfer app wasn't out yet so I restarted on the Wii U. I'm just going to where the game points me. I started out with a switch axe and I just defeated a Great Jaggi. Felt good. Still a little overwhelmed though. What's this charm table people keep talking about? Can someone link me to a beginners super guide or something? Would be much appreciated.
PS: What's up with the transfer app? It's been out in Japan since the game released there right? Is there a lot of text or something? Did they forget to localize what text there was until yesterday?

Friday? Friday!?!? Fun fun fun...looking forward to the weekend I guess.

It's pretty much there so you don't get lost your first time around, as you get used to the exits, shortcuts, etc. It'll also be used whenever anyone ingame refers to areas by number ("Go to area 10 to find the fish"). Once you know the area well enough, you can leave it behind.
Any tips for using the switch axe? I kinda arbitrarily decided to use that this game, but experimenting with it for the first couple hours makes it seem not that good. I'm hoping it's because I don't really know what I'm doing.
I can't find anything quick to do after unsheathing, outside of I guess rolling. I guess rolling is ok, it's just annoying. All the combos I did in axe mode seemed to go into an upswing at some point, and a lot of the wider swings look like they would trip, which worries me for whenever I start playing multiplayer. Sword mode was pretty cool I guess, though I'm wondering how much the stab/spin attack thing is worth it, and how that works. And is there any use for reloading, or should I just charge back up by attacking in axe mode?

Sometimes the old lady at the tavern sells them, or you can just pick them up in mushroom spots at the moga forest. Anywhere, really.
You can find them in the "cave" area in the flooded forest. 8, I think? The Royal Ludroth's nesting ground.
I was planning to play online with another friend tonight but for whatever reason, his Wii U can't seem to access Nintendo's servers. After I enjoy this ice cream I think I'll finally pop online for a few quests. Anybody else who hasn't done the early online quests feel up for gathering some mushrooms and other such stunning early-game achievements?
I didn't see anything there but ores.
They mostly show up along the upper-tier wall on the western side of the area. I think there might also be a mushroom spawn or two in the lower area, but that's where I last found them.
Yea, that is where it should be.

Keep checking for mushroom spawns in that map, forget which area. Why don't you save one of everything so you can just spend resources to have your cats farm more for you next time?

Ehh, still waiting on the transfer app to actually play the Wii U version, but I'm enjoying the 3DS version so far. Didn't get the chart I wanted, but decided to move forward since I'm not on a cursed table. Obsessing about it kind of ruined the beginning of the game for me, so I'm happy to be just playing as I please now.

That's what the organize button is for. =D
wait what theres an organize button?
they are cheap online, i just but a ton of them and never bother farming or gathering them.
When you're in your item pouch or in the box, press X and it'll give you the option to auto-sort your items. There's a little prompt that shows up on screen but it's pretty subtle.

So, anyone feel like giving me a short crash course on the longsword? What are its moves, what are its GOOD moves, general strategy?
Also, what is a good Longsword path to go down? What early weapon should I aim to upgrade to?

What's a good starter armour to work for? I've got a set of the chain mail stuff right now, should I start making alloy? Or jaggi? Or Arzuros?

Sigh. More time on the 3DS one it is, then.

X, X, A, X, X+A is your main combo. X, X, A, X, X, repeat does an infinite combo. When your meter fills up spam R to do your super combo. X+A is your "fade slash" or dodge slash. You can press left or right and dodge slash in that direction or do a back away slash by just pressing X+A with no direction on the stick held down. If you want to stick and move, you can poke and then quickly fade slash out of harm's way. For example press X then X+A to do a chop and then dodge slash.
You can buy a nice long sword with the 1500 zenny you start out with. You can't upgrade to another for a while.
oh thats going to save me time. thank you!
also shout out to all horn bros out there doing the lord's work and buffing the team <3
After the upswing you can mash A to do a figure-8 swing that keeps going until you cancel it or run out of stamina. Also in sword mode you can press A+X then mash X to do a charge-up followed by a burst. Forward + X lunge is a good opener to close the gap. Also note that Sword mode has an exrtra attack mapped to the kick/+ button.
You can also sidestep after an attack rather than rolling away. Every weapon requires stick-and-move in this game, but Switch Axe lets you get in more combos than, say, Greatsword.
It's the curse of the fallen monsters you've slain
