Talk to your house cat, choose downloadable content, then redeem bonus or redeem something. That's for the 99x honey and more bundle. There's another bundle (starter pack) in the actual DLC section, I forgot how I got that, but I'm pretty sure it was either automatic or I stumbled upon it easily enough.

I've never really done ranged before, but I played tri, 3U, and 4 extensively. Would I have a good time starting off doing a ranged weapon and if so what's the most fun for someone new to the whole thing?

Bow is a good candidate because it has infinite ammo, but I'm quite partial to Heavy Bow Gun, which is a semi-automatic rifle with a special stationary rapidfire mode.

Do any of the Prowler's attacks do mounting damage? They jump for a lot of them but I'm not sure if that's just aesthetics or if it actually counts as an aerial hit.

Adept Long Sword -- is there a more effective way to follow up after triggering the perfect evasion? It wasn't so bad against the Nargacuga in the demo, but smaller/faster monsters are ending up too far away after I evade. Do the I-frames allow me to roll with the monster, in the direction of the attack? Or, is there some way to extend the amount of time you get to follow up? It only lasts like 1.5 seconds.

I wish I could keep rolling directly into/through the attack and have enough time to double back, it's so fuckin' anime. I also have to break the habit of holding the circle pad in one direction afterwards; it doesn't behave after I refocus the camera, I just run off in some random (wrong) direction instead of towards the monster.

Guess I should at least try SnS Striker then because I wasn't all that impressed with Aerial or Adept on it, really

I want to at least try Adept Lance before I pooh pooh the new third hit, perfect parrying sounds totally like my jam from all the DMC-like games I've played

Keep in mind that you don't JUST lose the new third hit in Striker Lance. If that was all you lost I probably wouldn't be giving the new third hit a chance. You also lose any options off the charge attack besides the ending thrust (even if that does get its damage hella buffed to compensate). Mostly the loss of the jump attack really stings for me, as I've always enjoyed being able to do mounts without needing ledges nearby. I guess with aerial style being a thing it loses some of its luster but I still sorely miss it when trying Striker style.

Ok switch axe is making me feel like a dummy. I've been using it since it was introduced into the series; What the hell is going on with the mid-combo switches with the R button in Generations? It straight up is not transforming mid-combo with R anymore, nor can I do poo poo like the big sweeping finisher after a bunch of horizontal axe blows or whatever else. It literally just feels like my R button is broken except it's not. What stupid simple thing am I missing that's changed?

The 3rd thrust does 15+15+15 right? And the whole combo hits 5 times for elemental/status effects right? Thinking about going adept lancer because alot of the striker stuffs seems end game.

Even if you dodge right into the attack (and the enemy charges past you) you can still hold the stick backwards and start running in the opposite direction from where you dodged. That's the only way I've found to make it work, and you'll be doing your spirit slash blindly since your camera is the wrong way :negative:

Also a problem: Enemies who move again faster than the final attack (gauge level up) animation. I only got the hit off once on Bulldrome because he would charge again while I was doing my anime pose, and then the attack would whiff.

You lose out on some moves depending on which style you pick.

Striker loses the axe chop finisher and the double chops with A in Sword mode.
Aerial loses the thrusting axe move that you could use to morph, which you can now do from the upwards strike. It also moves the elemental burst to an aerial attack.
Adept gets the same upwards strike morph attack as Aerial but loses the axe chop finisher (it's an adept evade move now) and the second X attack in sword mode (the vertical hit) .

One thing that I found out that helped me a lot with aiming my post-evade stuff is to immediately hit L after an evade to center the camera on the monster and holding forwards.
Doing so will always make you run directly towards the monster. I kinda moved away from doing this *all* the time, but hey maybe this helps!

Yep, that was all it was thanks. I jumped in without researching a single thing so I was wondering what the downside was to the styles that had more slots. Didn't realize they altered your baseline moveset too. Switching to guild style makes it feel right.

I just smashed its crest while it was doing this, after which I could kick it for the finishing blow. :black101:

Do the shield charge while in Axe mode. If you're going Adept style, Adept guarding then pressing X does a shield charge to red.

They're tied to the completion of certain quests.

This page seems to list most if not all of them, however the quest titles are still all in Japanese so you'd have to cross-reference them with Kiranico's quest pages.

What kind of poo poo should I look for in a palico?

Some streamer was talking about how he was resetting his game for 8 hours just trying to get a specific palico. I don't remember the specifics and I'm not going down that rabbit hole, but I'm curious to know what benefits you could possibly have by getting the perfect palico or whatever.

I'm sure it's obviously not necessary, but I remember in Tri I think you had charm seeds or whatever and people were trying to manipulate the game so they had certain charms available to them and this kind of reminds me of that situation.

Edit: Speaking of, all these streamers saying they are doing a 24 hour stream is amusing. The guy I was watching earlier already dropped after 12 hours.

I have no clue what the 'optimal' one is but I'm pretty much loving playing a lovely bomber cat in a Tigrex mascot suit, I find it hard to believe any of them are just straight up busted.

The latter but having MH4U save data on the system will give you a bunch of items that'll help when you're starting out (honey, potions, etc)

If you want to be Maximum Cat you want an Assist-type with either Big Boomerang, Piercing Boomerang, or both (you want both eventually and can inherit a single skill from another cat), I think.
