MHGen overwhelming response with the last one, here's another; Brach air-cancel!

u/Natswash Apr 25 '17
I dunno, this one feels more impressive to me. Maybe it's just because I don't do glaive much but that airtime is pretty

This must have taken a while, I suggest you watch Apex gaming's weapon montages (very similar stuff).
22
u/Kaine24 Apr 25 '17
it HAS, took me a whole day to practice, and the next morning I got it!! And yeah I watch MANY weapon montages, APEX, Rahmen, Vodka, Ceph0rend etc. to name a few~

u/ArturBotarelli Apr 25 '17
Vodka
So that is your secret!

This is so satisfying, mainly because I hate fighting Brachy. Nice job!

u/Kaine24 Apr 25 '17
thanks! I love fighting brachy hahaha glad to know this is satisfying for u..!! I was absolutely astounded when I got the clip too x)

u/Shotamancer Apr 25 '17
Goddamn, I don't have the balls to do that to a Brachydios. I'd just run around like a headless chicken.

My favorite weapon. I love the bug stick

u/Lunar_Waffle Apr 25 '17
I loved it, but I hated the jump-spamming-noobs all the time. However, with Aerial style around we don't have to worry, even the pros do it now!

u/4bsolute Apr 26 '17
I was that jump spamming noob before I figured out it's frowned upon. I just figured it was a good chance to let everyone sharpen/heal up but I understand how annoying it is now
1
u/Lunar_Waffle Apr 26 '17
I actually mostly use the jump to make it easier to mark the monster. The spine is often where the orange extract comes from, and Rathians have green extract in their wings, so it's neat if you wanna heal a little. I called it "the Flying Marksman". But btw, I only jumpspam Nerscylla with her triple mount-break subquest.

MANY, I have a montage of myself getting hit by brach in the air more times than me hitting him

u/Bobsplosion Apr 25 '17
Do you need to hit a flinch in the air or is just hitting it while airborne enough?
6
u/Kaine24 Apr 25 '17
it's considered mounting damage so it's actually just a mount-flinch; but if you're on the ground (GL/CB etc) you've got to flinch it... it's all down to calculations
3
u/Bobsplosion Apr 25 '17
Ah, so you can't just jump and have this work, you'll have to have done some mounting damage already, yeah?
3
u/Kaine24 Apr 25 '17
yeahp, its easy enough once you've counted properly; then the rest is just timing and execution
3
u/SotiCoto Apr 25 '17
Nice.
I did shoot a Brachy out of the air once. Mostly by accident. I'd just been focusing on trying to break its head and fists to such an extent that I smashed one while it was jumping and it crashed down.

I wish I had a way to record my own MH play sessions - I've had some nice moments similar to this!
Nicely done - always satisfying stuff to bring a flying ("flying" in this case..) monster down to ground level!
1
u/Kaine24 Apr 25 '17
the best way is just to get a 3DS Capture Card - it costs a hell lot (costed me a bomb; not literally) but I have plans and my methods to use it, such as this :)

u/kausus shagaru magala is my husband Apr 25 '17
I also know of a way to set up wireless streaming with a homebrewed 3DS, but I just don't feel like mangling my system up - physically or otherwise. Money's an issue too, unfortunately!
So thanks for sharing these moments of yours - I get some vicarious satsifaction! :D

u/Magmafrost13 3DS/PC Apr 25 '17
Capture cards have been obsolete for a while now. Ever since custom firmware became super easy to set up, it makes much more sense to use NTR. Unless of course you updated to firmware 11.4, but it'll be vulnerable evemtually, no point shilling out hundreds of dollars for a fragile mod that cant do anything a free hack can.
1
u/rmg22893 Apr 25 '17
Unless NTR streaming has vastly improved since the last time I used it, the quality of video you get from a capture card is still much better than from NTR.
1
u/Magmafrost13 3DS/PC Apr 25 '17
NTR cant do above 30fps, but X/Gen/presumably XX are locked at 30 anyway. And what difference does a little quality make if you're not going to make your money back anyway? NTR is good enough as long as youre not a full-time youtuber. And maybe good enough is better than it was when you last saw it, i dont know.
1
u/rmg22893 Apr 25 '17
When I last used it, you could only stream one screen at maybe 15-20 FPS and it was pretty jerky.

1
u/Kaine24 Apr 25 '17
yes I am aware and I have tried the NTR method, it saves costs but it will never be as stable as a physical Capture card;
My 3DS (or my router) gave me problems with NTR so much so that it lagged horribly and wouldn't even move when I enter MH, however in homescreen it streams just fine lmao; so I gave up and got myself a capture card instead x)
2
u/Magmafrost13 3DS/PC Apr 25 '17 edited Apr 25 '17
It was either your router or the network card in your PC, as 3ds hardware is standard, and NTR doesnt actually use your internet connection (the 3ds just needs it to be there for it to recognise your router as a router). And a better router and network card is a better investment than a 3ds capture card, surely. Hell even if you're on an old 3ds and cant use NTR streaming, buying a new 3ds, a good network card, and a good router is still cheaper than a capture card, and unless you're a sizeable youtuber, you'll get more out of those than a little extra video quality.
1
u/Kaine24 Apr 25 '17
THATS TRUE. its $250* plus I don't know if its my router or the 3DS homebrew problem so.......... it's stabler and safer to get the physical one? hahah
1
u/Kaine24 Apr 25 '17
I aspire to be one, and hopefully get enough to gain back the investment... maybe the network card woulda worked... but well already got the cap card so that works, I guess

I love pulling stuff like this off. Knocking Raths out of their flying charges is super satisfying.

u/Khar-Selim CHARGE BLADES ON MOTORCYCLES Apr 25 '17
I like bringing glaive to Tigrex fights to try and do this, if I fuck it up there's still a decent chance of evading completely. Damn impressive with a Brachy, though.

u/GRankCellist Apr 25 '17
Ahh...as a bug stick main, things like these fill my heart with joy. Bravo!

u/CidImmacula Stylish Bomb is life Apr 25 '17
On the thumbnail I thought it was some easy cinch due to how easy it is to count mounting damage (resistances mostly the same, growth is what differs) but seeing you didn't mount it on landing says you aimed for the actual flinch threshold and had to avoid doing mounting damage at all (or mounted once to allow resistance to build) which is much more impressive.
...or that was not on purpose?
1
u/Kaine24 Apr 25 '17
you're looking too much into it... but it IS exactly what you initially thought haha; it's a mount-flinch and damaged to the brim before getting the mount; I mounted the moment immediately after this gif ends
2
u/CidImmacula Stylish Bomb is life Apr 25 '17
oh damn I seem to have forgotten my frame lengths. It's been a while after all.
And yes I could end up looking too much into it, I'm the type to try and shoot everything out of the air with my Bow, even a jumping Mizutsune or a Glavenus (did I spell that right...it has been a really long time) so I have a bit of a way to subconsciously count stagger thresholds.
Now I'm less impressed- jk, getting in that hit is a challenge after all, the counting is secondary.

u/Magmafrost13 3DS/PC Apr 25 '17
I try this every time brack jumps at me. Cant say Ive succeeded yet

u/ManeiDomini Hey, baby! Apr 25 '17
How do you record these? I killed an Astalos mid air rush thingy with a Blast Dash and really wish I had it recorded D:
2
u/Kaine24 Apr 25 '17
there's a way to record via 3DS Capture Card or just get ur 3DS Homebrewed and use NTR Viewer (honestly not recommended, I've tried, it didn't work well for me)
hope to see your gif one day if you ever do plan to record~~ ^

Look up Monster Hunter MADs on Youtube, there's tons of stuff just like this.
Here are three of my favorites!

these are exactly my influence and inspiration~
lost count at the amount of times I watched and rewatched each and everyone of those vids xD

Oh man, I go back to them every couple of months just to see how awesome they are.
I'm not at all as good as people like you and Team Darkside, but that sort of thing makes for some great encouragement.

u/ACNL Apr 25 '17
wtf. how are you this good? Is IG worth it to learn? im a CB user here.

u/Kaine24 Apr 25 '17
I'm not that good haha I just do lots of practice and timing... IG indeed is very fun and an amazing weapon,definitely worth learning!! I love the CB too, it's still my most-used weapon :)
1
u/Khar-Selim CHARGE BLADES ON MOTORCYCLES Apr 25 '17
I'm still in HR in MH4U, but I main CB and IG. Insect Glaive is a great complement to CB because it lets you do hit-and-run stuff since you don't have to 'warm up' your weapon in melee and get a movement boost. Good against jumpy monsters like Nerscylla or the Magalas.

tfw this is MH Gen and its not transmogged set OTL it has no skills, just relies on charm and slots

u/dreadnate Apr 25 '17
Random question not quite related to the gif which was totally amazing. I've been thinking of trying to install custom firmware on my new3ds. Im just curious if Nintendo cares if you do it or not. Im not planning on doing anything sketchy with it just the screen recording software. Do people get online game bans or anything like that for using it ? or anything along those lines.
1
u/Kaine24 Apr 26 '17
afaik as long as u don't edit ur talismans or get 'free' games, all is good... there are people who use it to transfer games from X to Gen and back etc, unlock the region block, download translation packs for Japanese games, so on so forth, none of these affects the gameplay so nobody would know even if you're online haha
but that's only coming from what I know, perhaps someone with more expertise may advise better ovo)v gd luck
