the iframes are right at the start, you can extend them with a certain skill, i think evasion? the default window is super tight though

with the the default I frames I was only ever able to roll trough the narga's tail whip and the gravios beam but only if I roll exactly on the opposite direction of the movement of the tail/beam

This game is a lot of fun, but I find it insanely overwhelming. Im stuck on a monster now and i dont really feel like Im getting any better at fighting him. I dunno how any of the mechanics in this game work at all, i dont know where I can buy any healing items that are worth poo poo. What are the mission I should be doing? Theres like 3 quest givers and expeditions and quests from NPCs in the town and this plot about some gemstone. I dont even know if I like the weapon Im using yet and my friend is talking about completing an armor set. Its just a lot to take in an the reason why I havent touched this game in months since buying it....

I had fun with MH4U for a bit (my first monster hunter) but if would be nice if a sane person who hasn't been playing and making these games for 15 years stopped by Capcom for a week and redesigned the interface for them so normal people can play their game.

Where are the iframes when you dodge, is it at the start? Sadly after over 150 hours between this and 3U I'm unable to reliably use iframes, I mostly use the dodge to get the gently caress out of the way.

i'm pretty sure they're at the start, but without evasion, the window is so short that you're still really likely to get clipped by attacks anyway unless the hitbox is fast+small

i think dualsword's sliding dodge has more invincibility. and you probably already know but the Panic Dive (the one while sprinting) also has a ton of invincibility whether you use evasion or not, so its good for dodging through beams and stuff

we had a gs user with a clownsuit roll in and ready up. he did not eat anything. we gave him the benefit of the doubt until we started and i checked his gear...no skills at all. all he did was stand on top of the little ledge and wait to try and mount one of them until he triple carted and instantly disconnected. by this time my friends and i were just laughing on skype and were resigned to our fates

What set are you using for Edgemaster? That skill is sweet but it's all on endgame armor that requires you to kill G Rank Fatalis, Dalamadur, Furious Rajang etc. :negative:

they just updated the method with a brick-proof version called like safe-sysupdater or something, i managed to do it with basically no knowledge of anything and the worst versions of all the files but YMMV, I'm now messing around with fire emblem: if... which up to mission 4 is still fully english, so that definitely owns.

Im sorry I ended up watching ru Paul's drag race and having gay sex instead of playing monster hunter last night, but i still love it and all of you. Also I've been playing a lot of MHX and it's really such a huge improvement like, you can just hold the a button and you will continue to gather until you exhaust a node and they streamlined the animations so it's a little shorter, and it's easier to mount enemies now and the feeding of nectar to upgrade kinsects seems a lot more simple and direct instead of tedious and you get to make an alternate hunter that is a feline and has its own stats and special features called a nyanter, it's very good.

i've also heard it's mad short, like no endgame content besides the "ferocious" monsters or whatever they're called. Capcom also said they aren't doing an ultimate version of this game and when has a video game company ever gone back on its word????

my guess is that they're using this game to test some of the more radical series departures (custom combat styles, monster variants that are more than just a palette swap with 1-2 new moves) and they're going to fold the most popular ones into a future MH5. Then again if they do that then it's going to be like 4-5 years before us non-Japan folks get a new MH :negative:

there's two endgame things in mhx; the first is the ferocious monsters which basically gives the monsters g-rank level damage to select attacks. like i was getting poo poo on by a tamamitsune despite being fully geared up

the other are the named variants which are basically like expanding the concept of ssj rajang/hungry deviljho/volatile brachy into a formal questline

it doesn't quite have the longevity of a G game but it's way more content than the previous base level games ever had
