It's right there in the code.
Oooohhh dang you just gave me chills. No more. Make it stop!! Noooo!!!
Inside jokes are what makes gaming communities fun!
As for MH4 the swamp area has some really pretty spots and some really ugly spots. Some of the prettiest and ugliest zones in all of MH in that one place (speaking from a design point of view and not the textural and technical point of view)

It's taken at a weird angle but the zone is still really good even in normal gameplay

Looks pretty rad!
I'm liking the hunting horn. It's tough, but so satisfying to pull off recital combos, smashing faces in and jamming out at the same time. I just need more practice. Where are all the hunting horns online? It seems like 50% longswords and I haven't seen a single other HH user yet. 
I had fun with HHs in the Arena, but having to do the same songs over and over every couple of minutes is a bit irritating, especially if it's a 4-noter. I think I would have them lasting forever with the appropriate tradeoffs.
Say, if it only registers a note if that attack connected with a monster, and the effect disappears when you change areas. Hell you don't even have to change the HH, just make it into a limiter function or something. I'd be all over it.
I kinda want to think up a limiter function for every single weapon class now.

I rarely use my LSs these days because rooms are full of them and I like four different weapons in my hunts... I pick them only when my fellow hunters don't. When I really feel like using my LSs I usually do some tanzia solo, it's always fun.
Next time around I'm going to use both kinds of bowguns right from the start.
I've recently put together the Mizar's Asterism and practiced the Switch Axe enough to be a danger to myself and others. That might come in handy if I need to do some tail cutting in the future. But the guns are my happy place so I usually default to them.

It's like putting on an old pair of jeans. It's comfortable and it just fits.
Yeah lol I like that analogy

When you start your first MH I almost think that you should stick to a weapon for a bit. You have a lot of things to learn regarding the fights and I found a little easier to do so with a weapon I was familiar with. After 300+ dual blades usages, I started trying out different weapons. Just my opinion!
During Tri I only used the sword and shield and in 3U I pretty much stuck with the switch axe until recently when I tried the dual blades. I used them for a bit but I keep returning to the switch axe. It just feels so good. I do want to try using more weapons when 4 comes out here.
Though I'm still trying to get better at it myself, I advise staying in sword mode as much as your phial allows. If you need to cover a small amount of distance, a couple of rolls will do. If the monster runs off and you need to cover a lot of distance, sheath your weapon, sprint after it and then attack directly into sword mode (X+A+R). But if it's someplace inaccessible (underground, flying too high), sheath or switch to axe mode to let your gauge refill on its own.
The axe mode's hack-and-slash move (upswing, then mash A) is actually the most powerful combo the weapon has so it shouldn't be overlooked, but that's only when something's totally immobile. Just get used to comboing back and forth between the two modes so that you're not forced into the "empty phial vent" animation when sword mode runs completely down.
Thanks for the advice. I can't wait to retry that
I didnt get that we can attack directly into sword mode with (X+A+R)
Dear Hunter GAF, the question pertains to MHFU, but I guess this is the place to ask MH-questions nowadays.
Is there a way to convert MHFU PSP saves from EU to US format? I live in EU, had PAL games on my PSP but recently jumped ship to US-account Vita. Thing is, the save games don't work with US MHFU. Kind of a bummer, considering I played it for some time.
I tried googling it and it seems there was some kind of a way to do it, but I can't find any details.

As a GS user I'm a fan of a HH in the group. AuL song please!
I feel the same way. Much easier in water.
I believe you can with custom firmware but I don't know for sure
My JPN MH3G doesn't work with my US MH3U. I'm not sure how it fares with other regions but I'm pretty sure it can't be helped
He's easier in water most of the time, but when he gets tired on land he lowers his head and stops moving for an absurdly long time. I tend to play it safe until that point and I do pretty well. Dem hip checks still get me though.
Holy crap, Attack Up Large increases the party's Attack by 20%? That's a lot. I've yet to find a horn with it yet though. Negate stamina use and hearing protection seem to be the most useful songs I've seen on horns I can make. Sadly a lot of stuff seems very situational or could be replaced by an item.
20 not 20% and it averages around 7%. That would be broken if it was 20%.
It's an equivalent boost to AuL but what's nice is that it will stack with both AuL (the skill) and your AuL from food buffs.
Add peak performance for yet another AuL boost lol!
edit:
But ya, HH can make any team immediately better. They bring KO power and party wide buffs (skills) with some communication before hand you can avoid equipping certain armor skills because the HH will provide them. This really allows other players to maximize their own effectiveness. Nothing sucks worse when HH plays "Earplugs" but you already have it euipped... 10 skills points down the drain
I could go on but ya, while I don't use a HH myself, I always try to make room for them in a lobby.I think you're confusing armor skill and hunting horn recital. The attack up large song does boost attack up by an insane amount. Don't know the exact number, but 20% sounds about right. It'd bring up my LS attack to something more in line with a GS.
ah you're right! I just looked it up and damn that's absurdly good.
Element damage is the thunder/dragon/fire/ice/water damage your weapon does. It should be on the weapons status page also keep in mind that the SA element phial also effects status (para/sleep/poison). Basically it increase the element by a certain amount (1.5 or 1.25 I think? I don't quite remember the exact value)
Power phial is generally considered the best and element is decent but the dragon phial, poison phial, para phials and exhaust phials are all considered pretty negligible
Lol don't worry it's still very earlyOk thanks, i don't understand why even after a coffee i didnt find it myself
Slime bows seem pretty good against certain targets. But whenever I try elemental bows with Focus and Element Atk Up and mostly level 2/3 charges and trying to stick close so all my arrows hit at optimal range, it still winds up a few minutes slower than my LBG times.
I'd just assumed I needed more practice.

Bow combat is tricky. First thing you want is power coating so make sure your bow has that. Next you want focus and normal/scatter/pierce shot up for whatever the final shot type is. Bows also no longer need element after they changed their damage formula however it's still nice. The Sand barioth makes a great all purpose bow and so does the awakened kelbi bow if you charge it (a good hunter charging it will do much better than the mash X strat)Why are bows so weak and useless?
I love bow combat.
Be sure to stick in the optimal range and you should do fine. I was getting Zinorge done in less than ten min without even trying with bows
I'm going to make a room for a few hours if anyone wants to join. Trying to get some 7 Star advance quests done. But I'm game for anything really. I can solo the Adv Quests for the most part, but some of them I just run out of time. I'll probably be doing some I.Lagaicrus farming until people turn up.

Sorry man. Maybe next time!
Man, I hate Rathians and Rathalos. They're so damn tedious. They just run back and forth for about 20 hours and then fly away shooting fireballs, causing constant wind currents, flying out of the zone constantly, camping out in zone exits, roar comboing into fireball, fuck this guy.
I thought so too at first, until I got Maestro and realized I only have 1-2 songs on a horn that really need playing.

Don't worry they get much easier as you learn them. After all my time spent on MH and with these two being in every game they are actually some of the easiest monsters for me (especially Rathian)
Preach it!
Indeed, but nothing tops doing it with Crag shot.
I'm trying to start again (again), but after putting all those hours into Tri it's difficult.
