They've actually shown data on this before, the hunting horn has consistently been the least or second-least used weapon in basically every game in the series it's existed in. I can understand why they'd want to make its attacks more flashy and appealing, but I've never felt like it was a particularly complicated weapon to learn aside from remembering particular songs. I haven't tried it myself in Rise yet but just seeing how it works now I almost worry that they oversimplified it to the point where the attacks are too simple and I worry that playing it a lot might get boring. We'll see, I guess.

It is rumoured that you can, haven't heard anyone try it yet.
I've played quite a bit HH in MH4U and Generations (Can't talk about World, haven't played that game) and it really is super simple (and also very strong) with these changes. You can button mash pretty mindlessly tbh. It's fun, but I also feel like due to this simplicity, it could get boring
I love all the agility it brings. Seems you can hit more times in a combo.
My charge blade practice is rusted as fuck, I carted against mizu lol
(it doesn't help that I'm playing at work)

Arekkz showed that you can but I can't find the video anymore.
Why does this look better than my handheld lol? Is there any options?handheld screenshots
I will need a couple tips from Long Sword users here because I'm really struggling against Mizutsune (with two friends):
My game plan is basically to "upgrade" my Sword gauge with those ZR combos, taking opportunity of every opening. I'm also using a lot the silkbind attack (ZR+X) that uses one wirebug and makes you lift off then down at the monsters. And I know that pressing ZR while doing that does the full move from World, at the cost of some sword gauge, even though I don't have the exact timing nailed down yet.
What else should I make sure to use or pay attention?

Oh, bummer. The riding feels kinda jank, and we're not able to rend the monster helpless for a time if he's the only monster around? That doesn't sound right.
Absolutely. I just did it.
Dual blade feels almost like a character action game now. I love it.
This was a mechanic that was only in World (for any weapon that wasn't Insect Glaive) and imo trivialized a lot of monster encounters. I like the new riding more since it doesn't encourage you to immediately dung bomb another monster that's joined the fray.
I hope someone will make a youtube tutorial asap, back when I played MH3U I watched Projared's series but I really don't feel like seeing that guy again.
Mounting and stabbing was in 4U and Generations, it created a moment for respite for healing, sharpening and getting ready for pummeling.
Successful counters give you spirit gauge. Countering is a big part of LS, it's dps and gives spirit guage for free basically. So you can use Helm Breaker with a red guage more often.
You can still topple the monster by ramming them into a wall. It's downed for a while after that
Im an Insect Glaive main in MHW but definetely not going IG in Rise
Need to find a new weapon to main

Yeah don't fuck with that guy. There are always tons of tutorials for each weapon, they'll come
I feel like I need to watch a tutorial video (not the rotten tutorial in the game, a proper one) on the very basics of character control. I find it incredily hard to do the most basic stuff in the game. Getting on and off the animals, grapple hooks, blocking, sprintig - they all feel like they're in hidden control menus or something.
:D

i didn't touch any options/settings. i actually think it looks better in motion and on the switch screen compared to the files i transferred to my laptop, it looks more blurry in screenshots.
I beat all three monsters in the intermediate mission on my first try with the hunting horn — almost ran out of time.
This game is going to be so fucking good.

Just gotta put in the time to get used to it. MH's control scheme is different from any other game, after all.
There's a page for basic controls in the Hunter's Notes if you want the refresher, but sadly no video tutorials as of yet.
The issue that was holding it back is that generally it was a pointless weapon to use solo as the main benefit is pooling the buffs as a support weapon in MP. A few of the late game HHs in Iceborne solve that issue but the damage is kind of done by that point as most hunters pick their mains early.
Yeah I should check those for charge blade.
It feels so long it seems my muscle memory is off. Or they changed stuff...
I didn't suck this bad back in the days...
Thats the Iai/sheathed counter and the other is ZR+B that does a step back, useful for countering roars.
Uh so aside from the Shielding wirebug move and losing Iceborne's Savage Axe move that's all the changes to ChargeBlade? So axe mode is relegated to SAED unloads now again?
Seems like everyone gets the ability to attack after using the wirebug to get airborne so that's not really unique to CB.

Definitely waiting on the PC version for this. Framerate and graphics wise it's just too far below what i'm currently playing on PC and PS5, but thankfully the gameplay is familiar to someone who's only played MH World before. Hammer is as good as it was in MHW.
It was cool in world as well. It just feels very simplified now. No bad ass KO while doing an encore sheet reciting with a headshot. It did have that X+ZR thing going for it.
The only thing that I know for sure is that some charge attacks are different. For instance with the blue charge level 3, releasing RL + stick input gives you a new jumping overhead smash instead of the spinning bludgeon.
I'm curious what this means for the yellow charge attacks, because back in World doing charge attacks without power charge was sup-optimal. Now I think there's no attack power increase anymore? I suppose that means there's more charge attack options, will be interesting to see if they're actually viable to use. Also, charge switching from blue to yellow always puts you on max yellow charge level, for what it's worth.
