It's quite handy for Great Sword users too. Normally to do a super charged attack, you have to start the combo with a slow-ass swing, do a side-smack and then pull back to do your more powerful charge. You can exchange that initial slow hit for the quick kick, and speed up your combo quite a bit.
I also use it as a quick way to topple Konchu, or to wake up party members.
Dropped 30 hours into this bad boy. Almost G rank village, starting high rank online.
This game is still really annoying to start but it's definitely getting more bearable with each iteration.
Still a few tiny technical issues I have with the game:
- Bows require so much manual aim for vertical spaces; no way to preserve verticality between shots.
- Legacy monsters like the Khezu look horrible both in style and animation. Capcom really dropped the ball here.
- Quests are still generated to you in a pile with key quests not really explained some of the ranks.
- Location of eggs / fish / small monsters will really grate your carrot When you're looking for them. No help in description.
- Fought gore 13 times, no plates.
Online play; oh boy
- Can't access Sunsnug while online.
- Still stuck to 4 players with no way to name the room; can't kick if they depart on a quest!
- Keyboard not available during quest?? Pls.
- Can't message people or make any communication outside of rooms.
Welp time for bed. Have to touch g rank tomorrow.

Great news =( I wasn't aware. People can't send me in-game messages if they're not in my room?

I hope it was true

Missed it. Can you make another?
mostly offline and online are different games, almost, even then if you play the same monsters, one mostly does not affect the other, except for some cases, for example you can unlock low rank offline elder dragon quest by doing certain thing on the online High Rank, like unlocking an offline Akantor by defeating online High Rank Akantor..
but that's mostly it, just some optional harder quests for offline low rank quests

I'm a bit behind most people here, just starting on my 4* quests, just killed the damn pink ape tonight. How many stars are each of the ranks this time around?
just the latter, they are harder to fight to adequate to a 4-player fight, BTW even if you are fighting in the guild solo, they are still with the same higher health and attack power as if there were 4 players..
on the other hand, there are several monsters that cannot be found offline...
Low rank goes up to 5*. I believe high rank village goes up to 9*, and G rank village is 10*.
Actually, 10* is mostly high rank as well. You unlock a few G rank quests there once you get to G rank in multiplayer, but it's only a couple (I have about 5-6).

wondering about the same, I guess from streetpasses? and where do you get the junk to upgrade their shit?
search for colored palicoes in the cat area of each region
go to the little island in Cheeko Sands and send some palicoes to the hunting minigame, you get scraps for each won fight.. however for some harder monster you need higher leveled palicoes to fight it
no, that's it, there is no permanent lock on since you need to focus on different areas of the monster, that system only locates the monster for you, but you need to keep track where you need to hit it
as for the full game, its 2.6GB
There is no permanent lock on. It would make farming monsters a pain in the ass.

State of emergency in my city due to snow right now - all businesses are close.
I work at a TV station - we don't rest for anybody.
I should be home playing Monster Hunter

Yo.
You don't understand. That Elite Blade shit, where you have charge moves? Nothing gets me so moist as to land a charged axe hit.
Man I love this game. I'm new to MH and I'm only on a mission where I'm killing rolly pollies but it's very, very entertaining. I can't wait to get to a point where I'll be relevant enough to hit up some online quests with everyone.

A little question
Whats up with the expedition?I get the whole idea and all but is the monsters obtained after completing one but is it totally random? I had done a few expeditions which involves tetsucabra, kechawacha, and Nerscylla and i have yet to get anything else besides velocidrome by the end of the quest
It certainly is disheartening when i find myself wasting time over this

This is my first Monster Hunter game, and i bought it because a friend convinced me. However, he has yet to play with me and really teach me the game. Are there any good beginner guides/videos? Because I am really lost and kind of suck at the game. Thanks

First time playing MH to any length, really enjoying it. The insect glaive is awesooooome, so much fun to use
Previously with the open field stuff, it was based upon your story progress. The more monsters you managed to hunt, the more options would unlock if you went out free hunting. Might be the same for this.
Sorry but you are just wrong here. Permanent lock on is a godsendt in this game, only "problem" is that it makes it easier. But since the game is pretty hard, it doesn't really become a huge problem.
I've tried going to the cat area during each mission so far to find a new recruit and couldn't talk to anyone. (Also, tangentially related, in the cat area there is always a question mark prompt where you search and never find anything, what's that for? It's special text so something hast to happen, right?) I just last night finished the quest to open the Palico Island, is that the trigger that allows you to start recruiting them during quests?

I'm already at Village Rank 6, and Guild rank 3. Yet the only thing i have come across so far is "that"
Edit:I re-read my question back i didnt exactly specifically state it clearly, but what i meant was the Guild quest you obtained after every expeditions. So far only Velocidromes after Velocidromes
It is, when you hunt something for the first time during a caravan quest it'll say that it can now show up during expeditions.
