Personally i really prefer Worldborne longsword, I felt like it had the perfect blend of slow and methodical gameplay to flashiness and that it wasn't too extra in the flashiness department. But at some point, I do hope that the spirit combo goes back to being its main source of damage. If it happens though, I dunno if I could do it lol, helmbreaker feels too crisp

Idk, on the one hand I appreciate gameplay that is a little more high commitment, but at the same time I feel that WorldBorne’s LS lacks complexity in a way that I would get bored of and doesn’t feel as rewarding for me. World’s longsword boils down to use foresight slash and helm breaker as much as possible, and to me it lacks complexity and variety. The buff to quick sheathe and the iai counter creates so much more room for skill expression in my opinion. Instead of just foresight slash everything, you have more options and can chain together counters in a way that wasn’t possible in World

@grimreefer213 I mean, Rise was the same, just substitute foresight for Iai spirit slash. And even though Sunbreak added new counters, to me that doesn't equal more complexity, just more ways you can bail yourself out of a bad situation or more counters you can spam till you're finally in an actual bad situation.

@@Rathadude I disagree. Do you think someone like Peppo just spams counters mindlessly to “bail yourself out of a bad situation”? Or do you think he’s deliberate as to which counter to use in different situations and how best to deal with certain attacks? Certainly it’s the latter. Do you think people just roll out of bed, pick up longsword for the first time and play like Peppo? Spamming counters mindlessly won’t get you very far. Dealing with some attacks like multi hit attacks requires a specific chain of inputs in order to counter successfully. Iai spirit slash also has no hyperarmor, and cannot be used against attacks with overlapping hitboxes, and it has less than half of the i-frames of foresight slash, so it actually requires a modicum of skill to pull off consistently. The buff to quick sheathe as well as the addition of serene pose and tempered spirit blade gives the player way more options than just “dodge out of the way of this attack and foresight slash that attack”. Sunbreak longsword is far from spamming counters to bail yourself out of a bad situation. The only counter that can do that is serene pose which costs two wirebugs and a gauge level. I can’t tell you how many posts on Reddit i’ve seen of people asking for advice about longsword and talking about how they are struggling. Being able to perfectly chain together counters consistently takes practice and monster knowledge. There’s a lot more variety in how you can play in MHR-Sb, and I believe it increases the skill ceiling even more than Iceborne’s longsword.

@grimreefer213 Did they change it from Iceborne because I thought Iai spirit slash did have hyper armor still? I could be misremembering; haven't played in a while. Obviously, it still takes skill to use current longsword, and no I don't think everyone plays like Peppo right away. He might not be spamming counters "mindlessly" but he is spamming counters none the less as can be seen in many of his quick sheath only videos and I did it all the time as well because of how much easier it is now. Sometimes, you have to chain 2 different counters together, but that's just 2 different inputs that aren't that hard to learn. Like Peppo said in the video, counters are reflex based, so even if you aren't familiar with the monsters moveset can you can still pull them off successfully with good reflex time. What separated foresight slash from the current counters is that it was a positional counter. Your hunter first had to move away from the attack before they could come back to land the follow-up, and the monster could move before the follow-up connected. You could compensate for this, though, by using foresight at an angle that allowed you to connect the follow-up to where the monster moved. This meant you had to be aware of monster positioning after an attack and had to consciously make your own positioning decision with the foresight to react to it, which gave an added layer of skill to using it. Iai spirit slash gives you instantaneous reward upon button press and the only positional awareness required is "will this attack hit me," and given the insane amount of tracking monsters in SB have now the answer is usually yes. From there, it's just getting the timing down, but monsters have very clear tells and much better hitboxes compared to old gen, alongside the s on most counters being excessively generous, that it's not that hard to get down. You don't have to be as familiar with how an attack works unless it has secondary explosions like some of Valstrax's attacks. Just press the button before the attack lands, and if there's a follow-up, just sheathe again and repeat. The long sheathing animation of Iceborne meant if you leveled up your gague with foresight, but the monster had a follow-up, you wouldn't be able to finish sheathing to Iai spirit slash in time. That means you had to be *sure* the monster wouldn't attack again after landing the roundslash from the foresight. It was a commitment. But now you can Iai spirit slash not knowing what comes after the attack, and chances are, you'll still have enough time to quick sheath and Iai spirit slash again if there is a follow-up because of how fast the sheathing is now. This may not be the case with every attack, but generally speaking, there's a lot more safety in countering an unfamiliar move in Sunbreak vs Iceborne. They even removed the commitment of just pressing the special sheath button by letting you roll out of the stance. "Oh, you thought the monster would follow up quicker, and now you're probably going to be doing the special sheath exit animation when the monster attacks and get hit? No worries, just roll out and try again." Stuff like that, to me anyways, seems catered towards allowing players the freedom to make more mistakes without being punished. So by giving the player more options, you're asking less of their awareness of the monster's moveset.

I really missed that attack where you do the spirit blade 1 while sliding and you do this flashy upward slash into the air that you can follow up with a spirit roundslash when landing to increase your gauge level. I’m glad they were able to reduce the amount of ledges and slopes in Rise because of the wirebugs but i’m not sure why they felt the need to remove the LS’s sliding attack.

I definitely feel Iceborne LS gave us the best of both worlds, where classic LS gameplay was important but new moves added a depth and layer of mastery that didn't exist before. I feel that with ISS specifically the devs lost sight of how the high risk vs reward of it is what kept it from overshadowing the rest of the weapon with base Rise, but they at least made up for it in Sunbreak by giving us some neat alternative ways to play the weapon. If I had to say what I'd want out of MH6 LS, I'd like it to be more like Classic/Iceborne, but perhaps keep the ability to switch between the reckoning and roundslash combos. Drawn double slash was way too OP and I don't want it to return and the flashy hunter art/wirebug moves should stay in Generations/Rise where they make the most sense imo

It's always great to hear the opinion of a skilled player no matter if it's the opposite of what you think or the exact same. I feel like comprehending how LS went from a faster alternative to GS to the undisputed king of counters helps players realize what they love and what they dislike about the weapon; I personally think that the best possible iteration of LS would be a mix between what we had in iceborne and what we had in sunbreak, so still a more counter oriented gameplay but which rewards exploiting openings and careful move usage because of a less fast gameplay than what rise offered: I feel like this would help the more underused moves shine a bit more (tempered spirit slash, for example, could become a way to gain more spirit level by countering during offense while being balanced out by its low damage output) while having the stronger moves keep their identity as the big guns and being balanced out by being harder to use optimally (iai spirit slash more similar to how it was in world and serene pose maybe draining all spirit levels like the spirit release slash and being available only at red spirit level). Overall I think that any iteration of longsword had its own unique feel and identity and that's what brings us all around to playing it in whatever monster hunter game we decide to play. Can't wait to see what you're gonna be cooking in the next MH title and until then, happy hunting!

The plunging thrust may take the first place medal in the category of "most useless LS moves in Risebreak", but not too far behind is the fade slash. It barely ever gets used. Worse, it barely ever gets used for the very reason it was added to LS's repertoire, that reason being for repositioning. After all, why reposition when you can parry nearly everything in the game? In pre-World titles, fade slash was used to strategically evade a monster's attack at the last second while also doing damage. I loved seeing high-level LS speedrunners make the most out of fade slash in pre-World games. Now I barely ever see it used.

I don’t think it is really based on reaction speed, you just have to remember all the possible moves of the monster which I assume is also needed if there are no counters. For example the ice dragon with 2 long teeth that’s also in iceborne. His tail move if you counter by reaction speed would fail because it hits 1 second after he moves. There are way too many moves like this that you have to predict instead of react. I guess you need reaction speed to recognize which move the monster is using but I think remembering the moves is way more difficult than reacting to them

The most recent example I can think of is what happened with Phantasy Star Online 2 with its New Genesis rerelease rework thing (?) where they actually slowed down the game considerably in order to actually give space to gameplay alongside the animations and the end result was in my opinion more enjoyable.

I hate this counter meta that every weapon has turned out to be in Rise, it seems the most efficient way to fight is just stand still and wait for the monster to attack, you learn nothing seeing speedruners just standing still and trading blows in quick succession. In Iceborne I learned so much seeing speedruns of the monsters like helmbreaker opportunities and angles. You had to actively try to attack and not just wait. Also they added so much hitstop on spirit combo and regular hits that it feels like you're swingging a great sword.

Great video detaling the history of the weapon and your thoughts on it. I personally also like the old gen positioning based playstyle. For MH6, I'd like if they'd remove the Iframes on the foresight slash while keeping the "phantom" activation box it had in World so it would be more like planned dodge than a get-out-of-jail card that it feels like otherwise. Getting levels through that still makes sense since the 5th gen, and probably those behond, monsters' smoother AI and faster movement . You could still keep the IB Iai slash since it's more situational for most people, but I hope they'll turn down the counter focus That being said SB LS was still incredibly smooth at times. Just having access to all your important moves and using them accordingly after one another was pretty satisfying

As a longsword main since MHFU, and having played Portable 3rd, World, Generations Ultimate, then finally rise, I share the same sentiment. Having flashy counters for the LS is fun but Sunbreak just felt too far off. I haven't personally tried Iceborne since the DLC was too expensive for me when it came out but am now trying out Rise/Sunbreak with my new switch. As I haven't progressed far enough, I have yet to access the two additional switch skills from sunbreak but I already feel the LS has changed so much. Seeing gameplay on Sunbreak with the insane counters does hype me up but at the same time I feel like the LS is losing its essence. At this point it even feels like the DB are closer to what the LS used to be and I don't think that's a good thing. Base world (and maybe Iceborne) is still my favorite iteration of the weapon. Attacks feel largely the same with the Spirit combo just getting a new finisher with the Spirit Helm Breaker, and I hope that MH6 will go back to that style of gameplay where positioning was a bigger factor

Okay, so a couple thoughts: You mentioned that the 5th Gen LS was when the weapon started to change, but I don’t really think that’s accurate. Valor LS is probably more responsible for the way Rise LS ended up than IB, but I think it’s for the better. IB longsword still rewards the same playstyle that people hated on Rise for: counter, sheath, counter, Helmbreaker. IB was about just spamming Foresight Slash rather than Iai Spirit Slash. If anything, I think building up your gauge to UNLOCK your high damage counters is the best solution to the counter-spam “problem” 5th Gen LS had. Another is that, while it’s not mentioned in the video, you replied to a comment and have mentioned in the past that “Harvest Moon ruined LS” and that’s such a sweeping generalization. IB ruined the flow of LS because without tenderizing you would be looking at 45 minute hunts for most basic monsters. It was not optional for endgame solo hunts. Sunbreak’s high damage output and significantly reduced health pools mean that most players can finish average endgame hunts in 15-20 minutes without using HM. I understand that it ruined the weapon for you, but to imply that it’s mandatory in the same way as the Clutch Claw is just absurd. You are a speed runner, and probably the best LS player in the community. So yes, for you it is required. But normal players do not even need to equip HM to use LS effectively. Here is my main takeaway as a LS main at the end of 5th Gen. Rise demonstrated that for LS, and many other weapons, the old movesets have been squeezed dry. When I go back to IB or even 4U, I am tired of seeing the same Roundslash combo and same old Step Slash. The next iteration of this weapon should NOT go back to the same tired moveset that we have seen for the last 10 years. A few new moves is not good enough. If the identity of LS is forever changed because of Rise and Sunbreak, taking it back to the Tri moveset will only alienate 5’ers from enjoying the weapon in the next installment. In the end I think the iterations I’ve enjoyed most will always be GU Valor and Sunbreak because of their distinct identities throughout the course of the series, and that’s for better and worse.

I feel like your point about sunbreak longsword being much more reflex based is obviously true, especially because of the counter frames being emphasized, but in fact the speed of the late sunbreak monsters and afflicted/risen investigations makes reaction speed much more important in general. Monsters like Risen valstrax and primordial malezeno are just so fast and jump all over the place, so even repositioning or dodge rolling, etc. are that much harder to pull off. The wirebugs help to offset this, but then the monsters start punishing that as well. Honestly not sure how much I will be able to keep up if they continue speeding the games up like this.

SnS user here. I've been maining SnS and LS in the side since World until Sunbreak recently. The thing that I love about LS the most is the ability to parry attacks which is a bit contrary to Peppo. It just feels so nice to punish monster attacks with a flashy move, although yeah the positioning factor took a step back because you don't need to do hit and run/dodge like SnS in World and I assume same goes for LS in older titles. I think if the next MH game took away parrying moves from LS, I'd rather search another weapon with higher mobility. I'm not a veteran player, and because of that, the most distinguishing thing of LS I find is that ability to parry... Also I'm envious of you guys, you actually have 2 different playstyles in LS while there's only Shoryugeki in SnS with a side of destruction oil.

Great video! As a longsword main since 3u, I totally agree with you. Personally, The World/Iceborne Ls was the perfect ground for me. In base World, fade slash and rolling for positioning still felt important, forseight slash was a versitile counter move and helm breaker was a satifying punish move. With special sheathe added in Iceborne, we were given a new way to chain combos together, making combat more fluid. As well as that we recieved the iai counter in a much more balanced form than in rise. It was high risk counter for big damage and the ability to chain a helm breaker afterward, but nothing more. If you missed it you lose a gauge level. It didn't feel almost manditory and stupidly easy to land like how it is in Rise. Regardless of how it turns out in the next game I'm sure I'll have lots of fun with it.

Thats why I enjoyed playing Wild Hearts more when it came out it and I only played with the umbrella and had a blast no hit running all those monsters. I hope this was a one off experience I dont want MH6 to be like rise but to each its own.

I do agree with some of the dislikes of Sunbreak LS while also having some of my own. I also like some of the changes like making the special Iai slash easier to pull off. It's not as impressive when everyone can nail it every time, but it's a lot more comfy. However, what we're really ignoring is how they flat out nerfed my bois max and ancient potion in lieu of some dumb colored birds that only half of the players actually collect.

Sunbreak is my first MH game, and i picked up longsword only because the counter looks so flashy and cool, but i just tried MHW:I and i do think that LS counter in Sunbreak is morbidly too much, and the update on Sacred Sheath longsword makes it even worse imo. it's cool to counter a monster and landing massive damage at the same time, but rn longsword deals more damage when the monster is attacking rather than the monster giving us an opening, it's actually really bad 😅.

Totally agree about longsword's current design, I hope the next game finds a satisfying middle ground between old and new. Maybe counters can only come out after certain moves, and maybe only if you make contact with the monster (no more whiffing poke into foresight slash). That way it rewards knowledge, and experienced players will be able to plan out combo routes where they can throw in a parry right when the monster is ready to attack. Because, let's face it, all the counter moves _feel_ extremely satisfying, even if you know they're the most lenient defensive options in the game.

My biggest fault with Sunbreak LS was the introduction of Harvest Moon. I like the Rise style of play, and I like to play multiplayer, however they moved half of the Rise style's damage into Harvest Moon. Harvest Moon is borderline unusuable in multiplayer, so they essentially pigeon holed you into adopting the new style (which is cool too) for multiplayer. Harvest Moon in my opinion did more harm than good, it's only good side was making Serene Pose a good silkbind, but even then it actually made Serene Pose optimal for damage which I don't really agree with either.

monster hunter is currently suffering the good old powercreep issue. where do you go after you have killed the strongest fighter on your whole world? after you have killed god? so, I'm not looking forward to the next monster hunter games, things will only become more overdone and bombastic.

@@PeppoLS I think I'd like it if the monsters were made difficult by their uniqueness, rather than more bigger explosions, faster stronger longer combos, the hunter and weapons should go back to grounded fantasy basics. that way every update doesnt need to be about adding a bigger nuke in monster form and you could have weaker monsters added that'd still be fun to fight. remember the fade slash? and how cool it felt to use it to dodge or reposition?

I love Slinger Burst GS in MHW too much. MHR remove it, it ruined the weapon for me. No matter how I love GS, I can't bear myself to play it anymore. The same with LS, I love Foresight, Helm breaker and Special Sheath. No matter how strong Sacred Sheath is, I'm not like it. I hope in MH6 they stop changing weapon play styles to much like this, and focus more on the other aspects of the game.

I only played MH 5th gen and comparing World and Rise LS, I kinda like that they added new moves since World kinda felt a bit simple. However, I do also believe that they went way above and beyond in Rise. My problem with counter are how safe and rewarding it is. This is just my opinion but counter should be a very risky move with great reward. In any combat sports, counter is meant to be used when an opponent uses a predictable move that leaves them wide open. Using their momentum to land a serious blow. LS damage should have been adjusted depending on what attack you countered. Giving ballsy moves reward. On the side note tho sacred sheath is sexy as hell. Making you feel like you're a man slayer from a bygone era.

I like this video but I feel you are a bit too generous. For me longsword was definitely ruined in Sunbreak. Harvest moon sucks even with the TU5 buffs because for many monsters the ai and the topples just don't work well with having a circle. And sakura slash sacred sheathe playstyle is boring af because it's just spamming two moves. And it also feels like the longsword is trying to copy greatsword which is not great. I enjoyed iceborne longsword way more than this iteration.

I didn’t want to be too harsh. At the end of the day I think Rise LS was fun, too much unbalanced because of ISS spam but still somewhat enjoyable. Sunbreak, like Iceborne, worsen the base game, in this case with unnecessary moves like Harvest Moon that simply ruined the LS gameplay as you pointed out. Iceborne ruined LS for me because of the clutch claw and also the ISS was poorly implemented (but I don’t blame them too much for that since it was the first time they were introducing such move). Among 5th gen I think World LS is the smoothest one, but I don’t consider it the best. Best LS will always be FU LS.

rise is my first mh game and this game is amazing. i recently finished sunbreak and i absolutely love the long sword. i love the fast paced reflex testing counter spam gameplay. it still feels like positioning and decision making is super important though because so many things have follow up and unsafe attacks but in your video you always use the right counters and sometimes move in the right direction to not get hit by follow up while when i play i sorta just iss wrong things and get smacked on the follow up a lot. knowing the monster moves and tells is super important to using the counters or when to helm breaker and i get punished a lot for doing the wrong thing. the fluidity and flashiness of longsword really makes it stand out to me even if i cant even approach the skill ceiling of ls gameplay. i dont even want to try some of the slower looking weapons like greatsword or charged axe. one thing i dont like is harvest moon though. I just fucking hate it when the monster leaves the circle or aggros something else. like rajang just jumps out of the circle and beams me and now what? if this skill was on something with range then i could at least do something. but for a melee weapon in a game where the monster can go wherever and there might be other players or followers the skill doesn't fit with the game design.
