This video is so incredibly helpful. I didn’t know the basic iai slash has i-frames, and I didn’t even think to use those barrel bombs as practice. Thank for for your insight and demonstrations.
Thanks you so much dude all the other videos where useless and helped with nothing while yours helped me so much on my way to test what i tried in some quests
Orait these frames are small. Not as easy as the old spirit dodge. Maybe were not used to it yet but it feels tough to hit. IAI slash is tough as balls.
DUDE I WAS SO FUCKING STUPID I THOUGHT OK I HAVEN't PLAYED FOR 3 YEARS OK BUT I SURE REMEMBER HOW TO FORESIGHT WHY CANT I DO THIS AND THEN I FIGURE IT OUT YOU NEED GAUGE FOR IT GOD DAMN IT THANKS FOR THE VIDEO MAN
It takes times to get into the habit, remember that you can only do the stance after a previous attack. If you're using a controller it's easier because you just let go of the left stick and just press R2 and X/A
For some reason, when doing the iai spirit slash, I get i-frames after getting attacked instead of before, now I’m not sure if it’s a glitch or if it’s because it’s just a barrel
If you're avoiding taking damage then I'd say it's working as intended.. the window is so incredibly small without augmenting it that it might look like there is a delay between the attack and the damage being absorbed
It's not necessary to be at a particular distance, as long as your timing is precise. Iai slash has less s than Iai Spirit Slash so it's harder to time correctly when the monster is about to hit you. It has to be just at the same time you get hit.
Any tips on how to time the spirit slash move perfectly? I'm struggling on that move alot. Should I do it before the monster attacks me or after it trys to attack me?
You should do it before you're about to get hit, say... half a second before you get hit, I think it would be a good time reference. You can practice with the barrel bomb like I did on the video, it really helped me to get better at it.
Not sure whether you’ve figured it out by now but for all intents and purposes s and guard points for things like charge blades proc basically when you hit them at the same time as the hit you. They’re basically just like landing parry’s in souls games
You have to do it after any other attack and without moving your joystick. If you press R2+X and you move in any direction you will roll instead of getting into the stance. Also, just in case, you have to own the expansion and progress the story to unlock the new moves
Yep, if you don't own Iceborne, your animations remain as they used to. Meaning that you don't need gauge to get Iframes with the foresight slash. But you don't get the new iai moves
@@k.8434 If I remember correctly, you have to play the tutorial for the clutch claw and move to Seliana, and after that you unlock the new moves for the weapons
You have to own the Iceborne Expansion to access the new moves in all weapons. Edit: I just jumped in to see if something had changed. I struggled to get it to do the special sheathe after an attack, and realized it's more consistent to press R2 first, quickly followed by X/A instead of both at the same time. Maybe try that if you already own iceborne but still can't do it
@@Krahe73 Yeah i dont have the iceborne version so i guess i‘ll stay at being a hammer user and not katana though, in rise when me and my friend will finally get it we will be a katana duo >:D

Damn didn't know you need a gauge to foresight now.
I shall use this as ref to perfect the iai counters. Thanks for the vid man
so now foresight slash need a gauge even if it's just a tiny little bit, this is really a nice video! thx for the info and tips
Thanks you so much dude all the other videos where useless and helped with nothing while yours helped me so much on my way to test what i tried in some quests
Thanks for the video!
Thats what i searching for. Perfectly timed counters.
I didn't know it needed gauge best video ever
Damn thats a small a$$ window

I keep dodging everytime I try to do this and Idk how to feel about failing that bad 🤦🏽

@@Krahe73 I did 😂 but every single time I do he just dodges instead so Idk what I’m doing wrong
@@akcollins5154 Just to be sure, you have to own iceborne. Have you tried doing it standing still? like I do in the video
@@Krahe73 nvm lol I just had to buy the expansion lol Mybad thought I had it already
@@akcollins5154 Ah there you go, glad you sorted it out, have fun!

I hat that you can't parry without striking first

Hi. Do you think u need a little distance from monster to use iai slash?
It's not necessary to be at a particular distance, as long as your timing is precise. Iai slash has less s than Iai Spirit Slash so it's harder to time correctly when the monster is about to hit you. It has to be just at the same time you get hit.

timings are really weird in MH... foresight has this delay and Iai are almost frame perfect timing...
Its not weird, foresight just has a ludricurous amount of i frame
so you wont be able to dodge without guage and you can hold Iai to be fired out whenever you want?
Not whenever you want. Once you enter sheath mode you can't get out until you perform a move or wait until you can move again.
@@Krahe73 And it only lasts 5 seconds
Lasts 3,5 seconds, not 5
Please helpp me
Can I ask if when using Iai spirit slash, I press R2 before the monster is about to touch me?
Not sure whether you’ve figured it out by now but for all intents and purposes s and guard points for things like charge blades proc basically when you hit them at the same time as the hit you. They’re basically just like landing parry’s in souls games
Why i cant do that? :(
when i press R2+X

@@Krahe73 I'll try this when I'm play this game
Thank you for Reply :*
@@Krahe73 but you can input direction with special sheathe.
@@liesandy291 yes, but I was suggesting not moving to test if that was the issue.
I know im late but do you need iceborn for this?
Yep, if you don't own Iceborne, your animations remain as they used to. Meaning that you don't need gauge to get Iframes with the foresight slash. But you don't get the new iai moves
@@Krahe73 ok i bought ice born but i still dont have them

why cant i use this with my weapon

Why my character rolling and not do the thing :(
Make sure you're not moving the left joystick while you input the command for the iai stance
It just works
Nice move from Capcom to lock new gameplay mechanics behind a DLC.
