Adept and aerial take away moves as well, though sometimes they relocate them as part of the aerial combo/adept followup etc.

Every style besides guild takes away moves, but the moves each style takes away are different.
Jesus, that sounds complicated. I think I'll just stick with guild for now. Not like I'm even using arts or anything at the moment.

Why is it no matter how hard I try I can't seem to break the Great Maccao's face? I'm trying both aerial for mounting and a hammer to the face but nothing

Maybe your weapon is too powerful and you kill the thing before the head is broken...
Just because you break it doesn't mean you get the drop, it's actually pretty rare.

What styles are HH users going with?
Don't think that's how it works.
Adept seems like the way to go IMO.
Toying with the idea of having a different main weapon for each style, but I think 4 weapon types might be a bit to balance. Here's what I like so far:
1. Striker SnS
2. Guild GS
3. Adept LS
I used to just play GS, but now I'm trying out SnS as my main. Not really sure what would be a good starting weapon to attempt to craft though. Any ideas?

Well getting the ball rolling and just got my personal palico. I pretty much made my character and palico pretty much like my MH4U ones with some differences. Still went with the smug face the male character has.
And oh god the music when you choosing a food order. Music overall has been pretty great so far.

Personally, I think Striker is the only "bad" one. The other 3 are all good.
I'm surprised how easy the early game (2 stars) is. Granted, my memories are probably comparing it with my difficulties with my first MH game and the HR missions I played of MH4U but I'm still baffled how the first escape of a large monster already has it limping, I'm finishing most of them off before the clock hand on the timer even makes a visible move. I know the Jaggies and Jaggi-likes are easy but it still feels like these should last a LITTLE longer.
Also I guess each town has its own quest path that ramps about as fast as the sole path of a regular MH? I'm killing lots of different big monsters but the difficulty doesn't seem to be curving up.
Aerial switchaxe BTW.

I would.
The localization team doesn't get to just name things unilaterally. Looking at Capcom's blog, every name proposal gets run past the game's Japanese director for approval. So if names are different now, it must be because that's what the developers want them to be for whatever reason.
Khezu was a pushover in FU. It wasn't until 4U that he actually slapped my shit.
Just did, the rep just said I'm sorry there's nothing we can do. Lame.

Just got this myself now. You also need atk up gems too. Pretty easy to get.
Think similarly to how you level up armor with Armor Stones (Lv 1->Lv2 same armor just slightly improved stats). Weapons now do the same thing in this game, but using various different materials of your choosing instead of the usual Armor Stone variants.
For instance your starter weapon will need about 1000z + a mix of 4 points from ore to reach Lv 2(so you can give 4 Iron ore's or a single Malachite Ore to hit that 4pt. threshold for Ore) All of the material point values and requirements are listed in the upgrade vendor page when selecting your weapon...(sometimes there are static prerequisite items for leveling too)
So basically, all of those locked lvl 3 weapons you are seeing will become available once your weapon reaches well...level 3 from upgrading. At level 3 you can take that weapon you have been using and push it down different upgrade paths(elemental, raw, etc...) but it all stems from upgrading your basic weapon to that point first(ie. lvl 1-3). In that same screen with all of the lvl 3 locked options, the first choice listed is your current weapon to upgrade to lvl 2. Easy oversight.

Or killer was the original mistranslation and they fixed it?
Original description
Killer Beetle Insect with a hard shell and dazzling wings. Used as an abrasive.
It was killer beetle in MHX. Dunno why it was changed, but I don't really care either. lol

You mean the fan translation?
キラビートル
It's literally Kira Biitoru. So it's an understandable translation. But yeah, kira can mean something like sparkly/dazzling/whatever.
But it was in katakana, so...
Apparently that IS the case.
To be clear though - it's not so much that I was mad, it's that I found the change kinda funny and weird.
Also at this point, after being "killer beetle" for so long... Seems weird to change it back.
Ok, this is just getting funnier.
I'm assuming it was intended on the sparkly side of things. Like, it's sometimes written in katakana anyway. And Kira as in Killer is usually キラー, or Kiraa. Just pointing out that it's understandable why it could be mistranslated that way. Of course it could also be a wordplay thing where it's both, but only people working on the game could probably know that for sure lol.
Nah, it's a change that doesn't really make sense when it was Killer Beetle in previous games especially when it's still that in the Japanese version, but I could see how they decided to go that route. Time for a mini Japanese lesson!
Let's go over the actual characters as they are in the game first:
キラビートル = Killer Beetle, however the description is: An insect with dazzling wings. Its hard shell is often used as an abrasive. This description is the same in all the localized games, the only change is to the item name itself.
Now let's look at how Google Translate writes Killer Beetle: キラービートル. You'll note that there's one character missing between ラ and ビ; ー. The rest of the item name is the same.
If you take the first two characters (キラ
out of Killer Beetle as they are in Monster Hunter X and double them up you get キラキラ which when literally translated means glitter.Couple that with the description stating that the Killer Beetle has dazzling wings, you can see how the localization team might have come to the decision to change it to Shiny Beetle. Conversely, the item naming in the Japanese release may just be a typo and they forgot the ー character at the end of キラ.

Girlfriend just shoryukened rathian as it was limp flying away, SNS seems so badass this game.
I like the many characters from past games, but they all only have gather requests upon gather requests. There's 4 (FOUR) pages of 2* quests and like, 4 large monsters within them.
The Moga Chief's son asked me for fucking raw meat. Dude, get a fucking sword and kill an aptonoth. Or go to the trader yourself, dammit.

Even without arts, it's really fun KOing something by slashing the shit out of its face with Stamina Oil, too lmao. Oils are really nice. Between Hunter Arts and Oils, Gen's been nice to SnS.

It's a play on word that was missed by the original translation team. I know kira means killer and kirakira means glitter.

キラ can be both referring to killer and glitter (or anything synonym with it) as the original word is キラキラ. in this case it actually the latter based on the description itself. i guess after years, finally the team realized they make a mistake
No, I'm trying to explain how they got to the Shiny Beetle name. It's been Killer Beetle in other games, so they're definitely aware of it. (Even games before 8-4 started localizing it.)

It's been killer beetle in previous games because they translated it directly, missing the play on word. nothing more than that really.

it's a mistake, and i doubt they are aware of it before this
