The gunner caps often have different skill point amounts or different skills altogether. But if you can make the skills work out, it's always better to go with the blademaster helm since it'll have more maximum defense.
I use L the most often, but I use both the dpad and nub in combination depending on which hand is currently not hitting buttons/moving the slide pad.
I do the same. The c-stick is horrible. Modded my N3DSXL yesterday with a PSP1000 nub and it's a big improvement although it now is like a circular d-pad instead. Dealextreme.com has cheap nubs if your interested. It should be no problem switching back to the c-stick, but you won't.
You'll love his cousin
Going with the most sharpness would be good.
I do too, even if he was a hassle at times.
His design is interesting, but he was kindof a pushover; I just kept rolling behind him and putting piece shot up his backside until he died. I'd just assumed the low rank Village versions were meant as a warmup and the high rank ones would be more challenging.
It gets harder when you actually try to break his tusks, except mostly harder just because you can't really see what he's doing. At least he's got a memorable, cool, unique design unlike most first and second gen monsters.
Makes me wonder why they even have hunter's notes in the game if they're not going to mention these things.
