Why does everyone screech as Long Sword for being overpowered, when Great Sword has been better in literally every single game?
Why does everyone screech as Long Sword for being overpowered...
Every weapon other than like 2 get better with each game.
The issue stems from LS tripping with their wide slashes, then 5th gen quatrenaries in an effort to fit in adopted the same hatred despite flinch free being the easiest thing to slot in. To justify this they bring up the 1 million counters and ease of play despite the fact that LS is actually not even the best melee weapon.
LS isn't the only weapon with counters though. Hell it doesn't even have the best counters, also it doesn't have guards or anything to stop you from eating shit when you mess up a counter.
Because big number is big, MH fans are smoothbrains who cannot truly comprehend DPS.
I've actually seen quite a few people bitch about GS in Wilds.
I'm guessing it's because before, landing TCS consistently used to be pretty fucking hard, but Focus Mode made it child's play.
Replayed gu after wilds & realized monster hunter is just a shit franchise
I know it's just retards who don't really know why they hate what they hate. LS is the most popular weapon so it gets a bad rep.
Contrarianism runs deep. Popular = Bad.
GS is literally monster hunter. taking a big piece of a big dinosaur to kill a bigger dinosaur. LS is just japanese devs being completely incapable of not including their nippon stronk folded 1000 times iai slash nonsense in every single fantasy game they make even though there's literally 100s of samurai games they could be playing instead
ah yes, because no Japanese Media has ever had "big strong guy uses massive sword against monsters" in it before, no sir
GS takes skill so shitters don't use it.
Wilds GS
skill
Holy LMAO
wilds
they gave GS an offset with a billion active frames
offset cutscene does TCS damage or shortcuts into TCS
adept guard
power struggle that shortcuts into TCS
focus strike shortcuts into TCS
you can now spin TCS as free will making wake up even easier
tackle now maintains your charge
charge one and two were brought more in line with TCS
and I thought strongarm was retarded.
GS is less weebish than LS. Most of the other weapons are.
He's not talking about the shitty MH games
Shhhh
Do not question the hate for LS
Follow the hivemind
Be obedient
Complain about LS without actually using it
Critical thinking is not allowed
LS was originally created as a GS for casuals.
No one gives a shit about MH balanced except for you retarded zoomers and you guys are little bitches and casuals so the LS eventually earned it's little bitch casual reputation
MANDATORY LORE

the hate for LS is just GS users being jealous? Oh my
Why are you posting as if you were a woman? you will never be a woman
As a long time lance player i hate ls stop tripping me you dicks.
tripping hasn't been a serious problem in like 15 fucking years
hell it barely exists in Wilds at all, even without using Flinch Free/Shockproof.
smashing big monsters with a big club with a technically sharp edge
makes sense
unleashing your ancestors spirits with a quickdraw using that same gigantic sword
fucking stupid
notice carefully how nobody ever says this about Dual Blades, despite applying to them with 100% accuracy.
Do you know how big the range difference between DB and LS is?
big club with a technically sharp edge
tfw I have to reload a fucking hammer with a whetstone mid-fight
Just beat the fat version of that one monster (mission 2), when does Worlds get good?
Fuck longswords
Fuck dual blades
Fuck insect glaives
Fuck bows
Fuck bowguns
Fuck charge blades
Fuck switch axes
Fuck hunting horns
tell me how GS does more damage AND NO do not tell me to simply actually hit the monster with it. serious answers only.
I don't know, guess they want their hack'n'slash from MH, while true connoisseurs enjoy the chess that comes with GS.
LS damage output isn't high by any means so you actually just have to hit the monster with the GS to do more damage
GS users sure are an insecure bunch huh
thats it
im launching you 4 metres into the air with my axe mode combo
GS takes skill
HOLY SHIT DID HE JUST WAIT FOR THE MONSTER TO TURN TWICE TO FACE HIM AND GET A HEADSHOT
PEAAAAK SKILL
the only way LS keeps up with the average GS is when you land Iai Counter on like, literally every move a Monster does
and if you are that good at something, like shouldn't you be rewarded for it? especially considering how hard you eat shit when you fuck up an Iai Counter?
gen 1, it's ok
gen 2, best weapon in the game in mhfu
gen 3, [REDACTED]
mom took away my longsword
wanna go kill the great demon
use a great axe instead
guy notices me using an axe and calls me incel
get so fucking angry but cant do anything about it
return to my moms house
punch a hole in the wall while screaming “ITS NOT FAIR. THIS IS SO UNFAIR.”
mom still wont give me my longsword back
great axe attack speed is slightly slower and clunky af
losing my mind
What do you even do for work these days when the rate of payment per hour is too damn low for too much damn work
Because the great sword takes too much patience. By the time you finish swinging you have lost your train of thought.
bow, HBG and LBG are straight up better than all melee weapons every game
nobody gives a shit
It's really just world babs trying to fit in
Greatsword isn't overpowered. It's just firmly "pretty good" in pretty much every game.
it was far and beyond the best Melee weapon in Sunbreak and it wasn't even close
this is just not true lmao
If you're talking about that strongarm shit, it COULD do the most DPS if you practiced autistically and kept fucking up over 50 times to finally get a perfect succession of barrel bomb parries to spam that thing and obliterate a monster
but we all know that's fucking retarded and for general use, 99% of the playerbase (non-sperg humans), greatsword is just "very good" at best in Sunbreak.

Not real monhun so who cares?
Longsword is a fairly easy weapon to use. Has a bunch of moves, but it used to just be “stick that hits things” with a meter that did a cool attack. Then they added counters and if you’re good with the counters, you’ll be really good in comparison to others at the average skill level. People get mad at them for tripping in online too, and a lot of LS players don’t even follow traditional roles properly. An LS at the head instead of the tail, for example.
I wouldn’t say it’s the easiest weapon to use. Sword and Shield has always been the most beginner friendly weapon with a safe moveset, good agility, and the bonus perk of items unsheathed. Though you have to properly learn certain strings and abilities to even be useful as a DPS SnS online, which is why you see SnS rejects using support mode with it. Lance doesn’t have too many attacks and was the original counter weapon, but it’s slow as fuck and you have to learn the art of backstepping and charging forward while keeping aggro up 24/7.
99% of the playerbase (non-sperg humans), greatsword is just "very good" at best in Sunbreak.
by this logic than longsword is unusable dogshit cause it's by far the highest risk weapon in the game which requires even more autistic moveset and timing knowledge
by this logic
didn't read any further than that. You just admitted that you think greatsword is best but only if you can spam strongarm non stop. Not happening, retard. kill yourself.
literally all of monster hunter is about spamming your strongest move as much as possible, if it's not spamming strongarm it's waiting for the monster to turn and go for crit draw headsnipes.
well you see, the problem is long sword only really compared to an average GS user when said LS can land an ISS Counters on like, almost every single attack the monster does
if you rely on Spirit Combos to get to Red for example, you are doing dick fuck all for damage
you're a ranged main and it shows.
Anyone bow?
no i play hunting horn, idk why you are even disagreeing with me, that is literally how you play your weapons in monster hunter no matter what fucking weapon you play, why would you NOT do what nets you the most damage? and if you can't why would you NOT put yourself into the position to do so.
heck actually even in multiplayer long sword is heavily disadvantaged cause most of it's damage comes from willingly being attacked by the fucking monster
not in wilds pal
because they are hypocrites and claim boring monsters like tigrex are fun to fight, despite their weapon clearly letting them do things other weapons can't do consistently
In older games LS was hated because it kept tripping people. In the new games it's hated because it's brain-dead easy to use and overtuned.
The GS actually required timing and positioning to do anything before, so it was "better" in the hands of people who knew these alongside the monster patterns. The new games just decided to throw most of that completely out the window.
Thats only cause of Wilds's retarded offset, Sunbreak's retarded strongman stance and Icebrone lategame mons (Velk, Ala, Fati) all being "do big damage on head at once or none at all"
