[OOC] The Heroes of Beacon

[harinezumikouken]

I didn't like how the Switch Axe didn't have a block or better evade, but then again I'm guessing it was designed as a purely offensive weapon. The newer Charge Axe seems to be a bit more balanced as far as defense goes, though they removed my favorite 'Explosive Chainsaw' attack from the older Switch Axe.

MONSTER HUNTER IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

[The Irish Tree]

I used sword and shield, light bowgun, gunlance, and dat oversized longsword.
Couldn't get used to new Greatsword after getting used to it in MHFU.

EDIT: Also, do we got the word on who's partnering with who yet?
Cause if not, I have to do it myself.

[Sho Minazuki]

Switch Axe sword mode was OP, and with the exploding thrust, it did so much damage. It wasn't that slow to me though, you really just have to get the hang of patterns and timing, and bring good armor due to no block.

[harinezumikouken]

Glad to see there are Monster Hunter fans in here. I'm super excited for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and the Monster Hunter Online MMO. Can't wait for them to get localized.

[KabenSaal]

No solid partnering for half of us, from what I hear.

[harinezumikouken]

Apparently, I'll be partnering up with either Sauron's future CS or Lucius' Gren.

I never said the SwAx was slow, just not many options for blocking/defending/evading. I hacked apart many a monster in record times with my SwAxes. Right now, I'm stuck against Lucent Nargacuga at HR 30+.

I did a stint with Gunlances for a while, but I find that I'm too reliant on my shield. I like being defensive, really, but I also like something that gave me a good amount of speed. And getting Speed+Defense doesn't seem to be a common thing, I had to settle for just speed and power. I'm actually hoping that the Charge Axe gets me that good mix of mobility with tanking ability that I've been hungering for.

Go to YouTubes and look for Icemannoob's tutorial on the Charge Axe. Very informative and insightful on how the new weapon operates. Plus, if you watch it, you'll get an idea of how Kuhaku fights. xD;

[harinezumikouken]

Well, bed time for this one. See y'all tomorrow.

[Guess Who]

I'm not partnered up with anyone yet, The Irish Tree.

Also,

I've never played Monster Hunter

[Sho Minazuki]

Oh yeah, I'm partnering with Itano.

I was actually considering Bridget and ruining her peaceful moment with an Ursa Major, but someone beat me to her.

Savan is already doing his job right then

[Sho Minazuki]

Well, Savan didn't do anything.

Someone just beat me to Bridget.

In unrelated news, have you guys ever had that one time as a kid when you were at the supermarket looking at candy or whatever, than went back to follow your mom, only to realize at the check out line that you followed a woman who was totally not your mom? I remember. It was a good thing the lady was so nice, cause my stupid six year old self did not know what the fuck he had to do.

[Sho Minazuki]

Nope. In the supermarkets I was made to help get things, so I was preoccupied.

Games on the other hand...

Well, instead of looking for my parents, I just stayed there. I can't find them? Nice. Look at more games. Play more.

[Lucius Cypher]

Didn't have any games at my local super market. They had those prize grabber machines, sure, but they didn't really entertain me. Mostly I looked at ice cream and stuff and wanted to get it, but than I get bored and wander off to find my mom, but instead follow a lady who totally isn't my mom.

I had that happen to me once. Differences are it was at Disneyland, it was my dad I was looking for, and I had tried holding the hand of the guy who I had confused with my dad. I'm glad I was 6 (or whatever age I was at the time), or that could have been way more awkward.

[The Irish Tree]

...Robert has almost hit Jaune level.

He has almost ascended to bumbling!

[Sho Minazuki]

Meanwhile, I'm drawing my symbol.

That being said, who wants symbols?
