The potential MH buyers who won't buy a Wii U. Me included. I bought a used Wii for Fatal Frame IV and MH3, but that was so cheap.
The cost of entry to play MH now is too high, especially when there is very little else on the Wii U that I'm interested in. Bayonetta 2 and what else? Uhh...I got nothing.
Edit:
Oh, it's 3DS? ....why is there a U in the title? Goddamn your naming conventions, Nintendo.
I hope you get it to work because I was seriously considering getting one for big screen Toukiden. Please update if you make any progress.

meh, MH is one of my favorite series and I'm not buying MH4U. No point in trying to play hunting games on a 3DS.
The graphic quality of Toukiden didn't surprise that much, since Omega Force have use the same engine for their games over and over. Even then it makes me realize how shit lazy Capcom is to reuse the same fucking asset from almost two generation for their million seller series. Seriously what the fuck Capcom, Omega Force and Koei is nothing compared to what you have and yet that MH3U graphic is the best you can do? Fuck Capcom, those monsters design deserve better graphic.
Toukiden supposedly updated version was trademarked a few week ago. Tecmo-Koei could pull PS4 port if there is demand to that or Sony asking for it. There is chance, albeit very slim.

Ultimate is the western name for mh4g. The name is Capcom not Nintendo.

Ah, Ultimate. That makes more sense. You can't deny how confusing that is though.

is there a PS4 version of shahid that actually keeps his promises?
I need to demand this happens.

Just demand it directly from Yoshida himself. He seems to take those kinds of tweets happily, especially if people are excited about ps4 games.
Well, Yoshida should be a good start. Also buggering Tecmo-Koei Europe twitter account might give some idea to that.

I just bugged yosp and Tecmo US. He usually doesn't respond to people unless they're complimenting PS4/Sony but oh well, worth a shot.
What's the best strategy for the chain and sickle? I enjoy latching on to oni and wailing on them, but it's really annoying when they attack me and send me flying. Which happens a lot. Should I just attack them with square and triangle until its parts come off and it falls to the ground, then latch on to them, or..?
no problem, i will update if something changes.

pick your air combos wisely, but no you should be going into the air throughout the fight and not just when he gets knocked down. It's tricky finding a good opening to go in for an air combo but that's what makes the weapon harder to use compared to most of the others. I usually just make the best out of whatever space/scenario I'm in. if I'm far I'll do a square combo, if I can get close I go with trianglex3, square+x to get some space then pick the best option from there. it's very much like a fighting game with the spacing. get yourself familiar with monsters and their movesets or you will get royally fucked up for trying to go in with a stylin air combo. I was getting exposed when I first started but now I can go in with a good hook to trianglex3 to square+x or down+square basically whenever I want. it's all about making reads.
also best advice is use speed mitama. the triangle move works wonders for using the power that lets you chain air combos together.
Alright, I'll keep at it. It's definitely a weapon I want to be good at because I think it has potential. I like being able to hit basically every body part instead of being restricted to the ground with the gauntlets.
I just fought Terragrinder with the weapon and it wasn't so bad. The fire bird whose name I don't remember was pretty annoying, though. Guess I just need to keep practicing.

Sounds about right.
I seem to miss all the online stuff in this thread 
that's time zones for you I guess! Wish more people were playing online though - there's definitely a solid amount of posters in this thread but it's nowhere near as interactive as MH3U's community was (And yeah I know, Vita and all but that was on Wii U lol).

as I said before, there's just not a market for these games on handheld in the US. MH3U online community made this look like peanuts. Hell, MH3U is still more popular online now than this is and it's a year old. And like you said that's on a console as unpopular as Wii U. I'm lucky to find five public lobbies in this game when I search, just really sad.
Story of my life. The highlight of which was when I was playing Toukiden at work. Yay!
MH have brand name, and its name alone enough to convince some people buying a Wii U just for it. Toukiden don't have the luxury of that sadly.
Speaking of online, anyone playing any time soon? Still want to finish off Phase 4 (At 4-7) and do the Cthonian Fiend quest a few times to get mats. Probably should've done it myself
I would like to try my luck. Just post the room. Two of us and two AI should be enough.
You're on the road to 200. Just 300 more hours.
Haha sure, just booting up now. I'll create a room with the usual name.

Question: do mitama skills stack? I got Protection lvl 2 and I'm not sure I should erase Protection lvl 1 or something else.
It's Oo no Yasumaro; I was thinking of getting rid of Taunt (stock +1), but only if Protection stack.

Killatopak, Jim, thanks for the help previously =]

Yup, they stack! you can check by equipping it and checking your defense on the abilities screen, too.
Basically you have to aim your cross hairs at a part to lock on. It doesnt cycle through, at least in my experience.

I'm not finding the room. I've searched under both English Version and All.
Just got my 2nd, I'm getting there
I finished the game with 41/200. Granted, I skipped about 4 missions, but still, thats a lot of Mitama left!
EDIT: By finish I mean beat the game, saw the credits. Still got a lot of post game to get through!
Try now. We just got done with a Bloodhunter round.

I ended up joining Ramyeon's room.
Edit: Not all players ready glitch. Ugh. This hasn't happened to me since the demo.
Haha yeah I thought so, since it's taking so long to load. Seems to have more chance of happening when someone other than the room leader takes the quest, I think Shengar was dedicated leader when I dropped out before. I'll create again asap, as soon as I get off this loading screen lol.

Alright, please wait for me. I'm locked up so I'm gonna restart completely.

This game is just too much fun...I mean I've always loved the "idea" of Monster Hunter more than the chore of actually playing it (it is a really great series, but I feel you have to put soooo much work into it and invest a lot of time), but what this game does is distill that series down to all the parts I like most. It is MH that gets right to the point and gets you right into the action very fast. I almost missed my bus stop because I couldn't take my eyes off the game on my commute home from work today
It just happens occasionally depending on where your Tenko has been sent to the most often, the only real change that matters is when they've changed color (which means increased yields from where-ever you're sending them consistently to have brought on the hue change).

I bought a 3DS XL just for MH3U. The SD quality screen is really off-putting. But I ain't getting a Wii U for MH3U. I played the game fine without the CPP. Reached till HR44 before I moved on to other games. I'm definitely buying MH4U for the 3DS.
Besides what stfuppercut mentioned above, do remember that while you're in the air (and have O activated), you basically have 3 "evasion" moves. First, being the Square + X...the attack + jump back move. Second is the Square + Down, down attack + land move. Lastly, being the Square, hook and pull yourself forward...this move can be used to evade certain attacks as well. Learn the boss's moves and use these evasion moves before the boss's attacks.
While travelling to and from work - Toukiden!
Well said. Some guys I know didn't like the simulation part of MH, the slow non-hunting part where you gather items etc. In MH, if you forgot pots, you could just gather herbs and blue mushroom to make it. Kinda like "live off the land". While it adds a certain dimension to the game, I can see how some people don't like it.
Toukiden is different..It's more balls to wall action type. Item gathering? Just a quick X button press and you've got it! No wasting 2 seconds just to pick up an item. Having said that, I enjoy both MH and Toukiden.

I just realized that the white shrines restore stock in your mitama abilities.

Yep, I'm infinitely loading at the moment.
Good fight ramyeon and AmethystEnd! I'm glad we able to finish many hunt together.
It seems I can't connect somehow right not if the host isn't ramyeon. Maybe I can't if the host hasn't DMZ'ed their vita
Well at least now I have the chance to grab some breakfast
Good hunts!
