Old Tigrex: I'll turn this way and do this then I'll turn two more times then do that, got me? New Tigrex: I'm gonna go here, here, there and there all at the same time.
I'm gonna pronounce it TIE-grex forever lol. Also sorry for the delay my dudes. This video was essentially redone 2 different times. This was initially intended to be a different kind of video but instead I opted for a comparison video as to get some insight on why there were mixed feelings about Iceborne's Tigrex, and I'll save the other ideas for future videos. Shoutouts to my GF for helping me record the intro lol I hope you enjoy!
I think it comes down to how much you enjoyed meaningful headsniping in "classic" mh. Not unique to the tigrex changes but headsniping is just all around a lot less impactful now. I don't think new tigrex is that bad though, he is still fairly satisfying to do with just picking a wing and beating it down all hunt. His charge is significantly worse and more annoying in this game though. The hit box is truly terrible and in the old game it least it gave a good punish opportunity. Now if he decides to charge it's just strictly a negative which kinda sucks.
Imo, Hitbox is not actually more accurate in World. The attack just doesn't have persistent frames like in the older games. So phantom hit is rarer but when it happens ... it will look a lot worse like 10:34.
Something I really hope they fix before Iceborne is when your above Tigrex while using an insect glaive or maybe just falling on him from above and he does a tail spin, you can get hit by nothing, it’s pretty janky.
@@ryaquaza3offical Some of those interactions are on purpose. The developers have said there was a lot of difficulty designing attacks to hit airborne targets. But without them there's nothing to stop you from going full caveman and spamming jumping attacks.
On a very gameplay based title like this the idea ALWAYS should be being fun and tolerable first and faithful to whatever gimmick second, or third, nor not at all.
Might sound strange but I prefer something unpredictable and annoying at times, I think the predictability of the Old Tigrex was a really good thing for speedrun but really bad for regular gameplay. Kinda like the new Rajang, I like to fight a dangerous monster, not just full on dps a defenseless animal until it dies
@@Joosterandom THANK YOU! It's really annoying constantly hearing people that contradict themselves on whether worlds was too easy or too hard. Stun-locking a monster doesn't make a fight fun, only boring and, for a lack of a better word, disappointing.
@@vraolet I wont lie, I have all the respect for players who play for speed runs and are all about creating the perfect gearset and knowing the exact moves to br a hunting machine but personally, the moment I even dip my toes into that way to play the game then I have COMPLETELY ripped the personal joy of the game out of the experience. Trust me, im all for learning a monster's moveset and learning their rhythm so take them down in a satisfying way, but it's always fun when the monster has a card or 2 up it's sleeve to take advantage of when I get overly comfortable
Let's be honest, the whole "I know exactly how this monster is going to move if I stand right here as they turn/stand up/finish their animation" thing from the old games, while definitely something that required tons of practice and skill in terms of positioning was basically cheese. When I watch Canta, Team Darkside, or Herny videos from the old games where they just sit and wait while charging a GS because they (reasonably) know EXACTLY what the monster will do next what has really happened was they memorized the limited animation sets and responses the monsters were programmed with. They/we were exploiting the limitations of the engine(s) to more realistically model the way something might reposition to face you or stand up in more than one, pre-scripted way. To me, it's more fun to respond to the monster when I don't know what's going to come next and still come out on top so I really like the idea of the devs being able to program in more nuanced and proportional responses for the monsters instead of them having incredibly predictable movement (like you showed at 5:28).
yea it's definitely more realistic/feels more like the monsters are actually living creatures of course there's the tradeoff as mentioned by Herny but IMO if done well it's nearly always superior (especially because high enough DPS/certain mechanics can still trigger certain gameplay loops like trip locking, etc.)
That's exactly how I feel, head sniping can't be a thing forever. Old gen games were overall a lot of monster knowledge and some reaction, in World you get equally rewarded for both knowledge and your reflexes. That's the same reason why my main in GU is Valor LS. Depending on the matchup you still need a lot of monster knowledge but at least you must actually react to what is thrown at you. I could hunt Boltreaver all day with Valor LS, it's so much fun.
And I really enjoy the opposite. In the old games if you were a good player and memorized all the patterns you could do stuff that looked unbelievable for new players. Almost like a perfect sync dance with the monster. Now the fights are more "messy" but also more realistic.
TURBODERP personally, i think i really like the messy and realistic feel that World gives a lot of the fights. I personally think it’s because I do martial arts. I find that sparring and playing against some of the monsters in this game feels similar, which is REALLY COOL! Getting into that rhythm both in the game as well as sparring irl has the same feel, of that almost zoned out and zen headspace i get into where i don’t think, just react. I couldn’t really do that in the older games and I REALLY like it now.
Nii Lantei Bright-Davies Rumors of Monster Hunter coming to the consoles, y’all: Highly unlikely. The flagships are coming to World, y’all: Highly unlikely. Could you take a seat.
Nii Lantei Bright-Davies assuming they don’t already have or haven’t been working on the skeleton. We at least know for fact that Lagiacrus’ skeleton exists and why it’s not in World. What’s to say they weren’t working on other skeletons as well? Which we know for a fact they have been because they’ve introduced another skeleton - Rex Wyvern - with Tigrex and Narga. There’s been a lot of time between initial production till now. Really, they could have any number of skeletons.
Tigrex was one of the very first monsters I hunted so it and rathalos have special spot in my heart. But I did hunt them with assault rifles and rocket launchers as big boss lol.
I remember talking about my feelings on its design in the reveal trailer and everyone ripped into me like I said something illegal. I’m sorry but I’m not digging the bigger head, chunky tail, and less noticeable rage mode, or how it reacts when mounted. *waits for the ‘tigrex looks exactly the same but better lmao’ comments*
Yeah I'm really liking all of the new surface detail and the small changes (like the scales on the head and wings). The shorter tail tho really gets me. As well as making his feet smaller.
The less noticeable rage is my only issue with World’s design. Other than that, all the subtle new details make him look far more savage and I love it.
Rage mode design is pretty underwhelming I'll admit. Also, his seemingly wider neck size is what troubled me most. Other than that, I dig how they made him look.
I remember mastering tigrex in Freedom, my other wlan hunter friends fear him. And then i dedicated hours fighting him, i even got full set of him to boast. And then I got to high rank.
I didnt get into monster hunter until world and now that I'm seriously looking into the history of the series I'm amazed by how passionate the community is.
TIE-GREX is freaking amazing in world he is so erratic which is cool, and is so much harder in my opinion, and interesting because of the new AI. The only thing is his roar hit box was a little small, but other than that I love it. Also amazing video love you man can’t wait for next video when Iceborne comes out.
The AI in world is harder to bend to your will. And that is a good thing. If it can be bent to your will, the challenge vanishes. There won’t be a fight, it is you reading down the script.
Wolfscreed Fated I love the AI in this game. There’s been a few times when I’m constantly being chased by a monster until death. They’ll hit me to the ground, wait until I star getting up and attack me as I get up to knock me down again, and repeat even when it’s a full party. Sure, it’s a pain to die but I really appreciate the monster sometimes do that.
Good videos, Herny! MHW is my 1st MH title and I absolutely love seeing the old versions of monsters and how they compare to their New World counterpart. As for my 1st TIE-grex(😂😂) impression as a New Worlder: I was looking forward to his fight. Stories told by vets had me pumped up. I finally got to him and laughed the entire fight. He's just Kirin minus the lighting. "Oh look, he's running forward! Watch out now, he's running back this way!" Perhaps that's why he is colored to look like a HotWheel racer. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Real talk FU was my first game and I didn't know what I was doing, I fought tigrex everyday all summer and that's how I grew to this game , i learned to make new armors and try different weapon strategies. It was no longer "I should just make the highest defense "
I love both. Tigrex is just your average pissed doggo monster. You're getting smacked, you don't always understand what he's doing, so you're pissed, he's pissed and that's why he's our favourite pissed doggo monster.
@15:00 I paused this video to subscribe! It's really refreshing to hear someone analyze something in such detail then summarize it by simply reminding the viewer that THEY should decide which version they like more. It takes real maturity/humility to make a 10+ minute detailed analysis that ends with a quality PSA about how viewers shouldn't allow Herny or anyone else to "decide for them". No matter what topic, whether it's about which Tigrex is "better" or anything else. Decide for yourself and don't let others decide for you.
Personally I'm enjoying new Tiggy. Especially now that I know WHY it took a little longer to re learn him than I expected. The fight still keeps its intensity and has its own twists and turns.
I’ve never played the old games with Tigrex. Playing the Iceborne beta against him was hard but hella fun. Was trying to get use to the changes to longsword as well as fight him. And after fighting him so many times it was super fun I can’t wait to face him and more.
I honestly like the monsters in the new world. They keep you on your toes and humble. They're really great and a joy to fight. When I'm online playing with randoms and I see players get cart 3 times I'm not upset. Most of the time the monster we're hunting pulls off a smart attack and switches up the patterns. I enjoy the challenge even when I fail. Dust myself up try again and learn what I did wrong. Tigrex and Rajang are one of my favorite fights from the past and in the new world they continue to be a favorite as well as other monsters. I'll fight theres monsters all day before I look at the flying ones aka rathalos or legilana fuck those fight hahaha anyhow great video!
Does anyone remember his goofy area transitions from mhf2? He just jumped straight up like, “PEACE!” More importantly, those guitars!! What are they? Ibanez, fender, and what is that third guitar? Les Paul perhaps?
I just hope they dont mess up the weapons like they did with the rest of the monsters, i want that jawblade with the 2 prongs, and the badass looking charge blade too
ExitioRegem The jaw GS has been confirmed to be back. Check out the Sony Hong Kong livestream. The glavenus hunt had the classic narga hammer and the tigrex jaw GS
@@WisdomAkpan211 Walked like a dinosaur with it's wing-arms folded, made it look more like a t-rex with stubby legs and I found it super fitting for Tigrex
@@maddeeps5520 I dont know. I found it very awkward-looking. I guess to each their own. I never even realised that they changed its walking animation until you brought it up actually
I love the new tigrex much more than the old one, the new one actually stressed me out while the old one wad just "pacman incarnate" I like his charging but it was too predictable and made it boring.
I hope you make more indepth monster videos since I'm not a veteran and world/ib is my first mh it's nice to know how these monster are in older or other mh titles :D nice vid keep up the good work
When you started talking about old Tigrex, i just kept thinking of Nergigante. They seem pretty similar in how their fights work but Nergi seems to get a lot of flak from some vets. It kinda makes me sad since i think Nergi's really cool
Imma be honest, I love nergigante EXCEPT the fat horns idk what it is but I hate them and love diablos's. They just feel off for me. Same with the acid on glave's tail
I really love Gen U, I bought a Switch only for that game and I played it for 800 hours. That being said, Tigrex in GU is an ok monster I guess, but too predictable and a bit boring. Its AI is too exploitable and I think that this whole robot turning mechanic was always meant to go away at some point, it get's old after awhile. Infact I find myself hunting new monsters like the fated 4 (not Gammoth tho, she's kinda mhe) a lot more than really old monsters like Tiggy or Teostra (Nargacuga is ok, i like him, but I prefer Silverwind). Jeez I even prefer hyper Ceanataur to old Tiggy (cough cough Valor LS cough cough) and I think that World version is improved almost in everything.
Incredible video! I haven’t played the beta, so it’s fascinating learning all these differences. I love fighting Tigrex in older games, but I’m not a fast Hunter by any means. I actually enjoy facing him with Dual Blades; it’s fun weaving in and out from his arms with demon dashes+spin to win, even if it does make the fight go on much longer than hammering the head. I understand why you think it’s not a great hunt overall, but I’ve always liked chargers. Diablos is one of my favorite monsters and she basically just charges. :P
I still have to play Iceborne, but I loved the Tigrex in MH4U. He introduces not only the mechanic of the endgame, but also shown me how mobile this game could be. And to be honest, even without Stun-locking him in place, I found him to be one of the most interesting fights. I main Dual Blade and I really enjoy mobile fights when I can fight monsters while always being on my toes (Which is why Kirin is my favorite Elder Dragon) and Tigrex really fit that bill for me
Socks says it like "Tie-grehx", so I'm gonna stick with that. I've been saying it like that since he first debuted. I also think it's also a western vs eastern thing. I hear it pronounced Tee-grehx more in Japan and Tie-grehx in western areas like America and Europe. I'm all down for its official pronunciation being Tee-grehx, but I'll still call him Tie-grehx.
I mean, it’s not like they haven’t done any poor decisions especially with world (ie lack of pause button, rathian and Glavenus don’t actually turf war in game, EX crossover monster forced multiplayer bullshit) but at least they haven’t lied to us yet to act innocent yet. I still can’t get over that they made 700+ Pokemon from scratch in X and Y but can’t port those same Pokemon over, for reasons
Yep Tigrex from 2g was a literal horror show for me because of the surprise encounter for that 1 Star mission. When I finally faced him I got so scared at one point I hid into a hole (forgot which zone it was. But the one that you have to couch through to get to a small hidden portion of the zone. I hid in that couch hole for a good 20 seconds to calm myself.
Tigrex is now unpredictable? Now THAT will keep me on my toes! I main s&s, so evading Old World Tigger should be easy enough if I put away my weapon early enough (I don't remember the term). But New World Tigger!? That will get my blood pumping and I have the impression it's going to be exhilarating in a good way! I look forward to it.
The thing that bothered about Iceborne Tigrex was the fact I’m so used to how this fight works in my head I would get caught off guard with the 4th charge, the extra spins and a lot of random stuff. I didn’t like Tigrex because it was too predictable before but now it’s like Tigrex with ADHD.... you never know what’s gonna happen
Tigrex was rly easy for me in Generations but it was a lot harder in World. I actually kinda think that the difficulty spike did it justice. Tigrex is essentially Deviljho’s little cousin, it’s SUPPOSED to be hard.
8:35 "I think it's the best version of Tigrex we were gonna get[...] unless of course we're gonna get a new switch title." Well, here we are. There's a new switch title, Tigrex is in it and honestly he's pretty good. His spin doesn't come out instantly and has the telegraph again, and if he spins out of charge he does a little taunt that you can punish that I don't remember being in World. His hitboxes are also better (in my experience anyway)
Well, honestly speaking... Out of all the Monsters in the MH franchise.... Tirgex is the one that i remember the most. He actually made me think of a strategy to kill him while i sleep... My friends even saw me air holding a PSP and shouting "Damn Tigrex"
My favorite Tigrex version is the one from FU. Intense. Fast. Maybe too powerful. And I feel like they also had this amazing, legitimately scary reputation/persona that they only had in that game.
As cool as the old Tigrex combat was when mastered, my personal outlook on the ideal Tigrex gameplay is when he's unrelenting, dare-I-say blindingly fast, trampling you and causing you to have to chain dives. I loved that stuff. And in Iceborne he still does that. He's a little on the slow side for Tigrex, but he still gives you plenty of oh shit oh my god what the fuck he's still on top of me moments.
Honestly, I think the MHW Iceborne version of Tigrex live up to its image and lore that I imagine the first time it was introduced back in MHF2, the feral apex predator.
Generated subtitles at 14:28 : "You might love vice porn tigrex" OwO What's this? :3 Back on the subject at hand: I love me some charging monsta. Diablos, Tigrex, Seltas Queen are all in my list of favorite monsters. But that might be because I'm a shield main (be it lance/GL, SnS and CB, if it has a shield I play it.) and the fun of blocking a big ass charging monster never gets old for me.
Fighting tempered versions of him and others at higher HR feels a little off, but I really cant put my finger on why, unfortunitally. Might just be his speed and aggressiveness feeling higher than previous games. He definitely is still suited to weapons like charge blade where you can abuse guard points to stay safe. He's still one of my favourite monsters in the series, a little disappointed they didn't pay homage to the popo hunt with his encounter in iceborne

Good videos, Herny! MHW is my 1st MH title and I absolutely love seeing the old versions of monsters and how they compare to their New World counterpart. As for my 1st TIE-grex(😂😂) impression as a New Worlder: I was looking forward to his fight. Stories told by vets had me pumped up. I finally got to him and laughed the entire fight. He's just Kirin minus the lighting. "Oh look, he's running forward! Watch out now, he's running back this way!" Perhaps that's why he is colored to look like a HotWheel racer. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
You are so precious to the MH community along with others like you
when the handler pronounces his name like Teegrex
Only Herny would have a phone call with himself while simultaneously correcting himself and ignoring his own correction.
We love ya man, never change
Real talk FU was my first game and I didn't know what I was doing, I fought tigrex everyday all summer and that's how I grew to this game , i learned to make new armors and try different weapon strategies. It was no longer "I should just make the highest defense "
I love both. Tigrex is just your average pissed doggo monster. You're getting smacked, you don't always understand what he's doing, so you're pissed, he's pissed and that's why he's our favourite pissed doggo monster.
Tigrex isnt a doggo? That goes to Zinorge and Odogaron
@15:00 I paused this video to subscribe! It's really refreshing to hear someone analyze something in such detail then summarize it by simply reminding the viewer that THEY should decide which version they like more.
It takes real maturity/humility to make a 10+ minute detailed analysis that ends with a quality PSA about how viewers shouldn't allow Herny or anyone else to "decide for them". No matter what topic, whether it's about which Tigrex is "better" or anything else.
Decide for yourself and don't let others decide for you.
You are now the second UA-camr I watch for MH that used SMT 4 music for your videos.
Very good. Lol
Personally I'm enjoying new Tiggy. Especially now that I know WHY it took a little longer to re learn him than I expected. The fight still keeps its intensity and has its own twists and turns.
One thing remains the same, it hits like a freight train with a mile wide hit box
Your choice of words led me to feel that you're a better person than I.
Thank you for the backstory and comparison between old and new Tigrex.
I’ve never played the old games with Tigrex. Playing the Iceborne beta against him was hard but hella fun. Was trying to get use to the changes to longsword as well as fight him. And after fighting him so many times it was super fun I can’t wait to face him and more.
"And we'd still be kinda happy that he's still there" Man that really made me think how much I love this series.
Your videos always keep getting better. The comedy, the content, and the editing just make me smile so much. Thanks daddy Herny!!!
I honestly like the monsters in the new world. They keep you on your toes and humble. They're really great and a joy to fight. When I'm online playing with randoms and I see players get cart 3 times I'm not upset. Most of the time the monster we're hunting pulls off a smart attack and switches up the patterns. I enjoy the challenge even when I fail. Dust myself up try again and learn what I did wrong. Tigrex and Rajang are one of my favorite fights from the past and in the new world they continue to be a favorite as well as other monsters. I'll fight theres monsters all day before I look at the flying ones aka rathalos or legilana fuck those fight hahaha anyhow great video!
AYYY ‘Stefan is online’ pops up when you’re using the Charge Blade. It’s a sign!
Edit: Also, the headlock PogChamp
Does anyone remember his goofy area transitions from mhf2? He just jumped straight up like, “PEACE!” More importantly, those guitars!! What are they? Ibanez, fender, and what is that third guitar? Les Paul perhaps?
I just hope they dont mess up the weapons like they did with the rest of the monsters, i want that jawblade with the 2 prongs, and the badass looking charge blade too
ExitioRegem The jaw GS has been confirmed to be back. Check out the Sony Hong Kong livestream. The glavenus hunt had the classic narga hammer and the tigrex jaw GS
@@CaptainBargain Nice, i hope its the same for glave weapons, and all weapons, not a select few like in og world

How is this channel not bigger ? Love the videos man !
Wtf is that walk at 6:13
Edit for clarification:
wtf is that tigrex walk?
a cursed mh image you shouldn't watch before sleeping
Bro that was the coolest walk animation ever imo I'm so sad they didn't bring it back for World as far as I'm aware
@@maddeeps5520 Nah dude it looked weird lol. It walked like a frigging bird XD
@@WisdomAkpan211 Walked like a dinosaur with it's wing-arms folded, made it look more like a t-rex with stubby legs and I found it super fitting for Tigrex
@@maddeeps5520 I dont know. I found it very awkward-looking. I guess to each their own. I never even realised that they changed its walking animation until you brought it up actually
I love the new tigrex much more than the old one, the new one actually stressed me out while the old one wad just "pacman incarnate"
I like his charging but it was too predictable and made it boring.
I hope you make more indepth monster videos since I'm not a veteran and world/ib is my first mh it's nice to know how these monster are in older or other mh titles :D nice vid keep up the good work
When you started talking about old Tigrex, i just kept thinking of Nergigante. They seem pretty similar in how their fights work but Nergi seems to get a lot of flak from some vets. It kinda makes me sad since i think Nergi's really cool
Pretty sure, it's just AT nergi that everyone hates.
Imma be honest, I love nergigante EXCEPT the fat horns idk what it is but I hate them and love diablos's. They just feel off for me. Same with the acid on glave's tail
I love the trend of continuous panic dodging that Iceborne creatures make me do.
I really love Gen U, I bought a Switch only for that game and I played it for 800 hours. That being said, Tigrex in GU is an ok monster I guess, but too predictable and a bit boring. Its AI is too exploitable and I think that this whole robot turning mechanic was always meant to go away at some point, it get's old after awhile. Infact I find myself hunting new monsters like the fated 4 (not Gammoth tho, she's kinda mhe) a lot more than really old monsters like Tiggy or Teostra (Nargacuga is ok, i like him, but I prefer Silverwind). Jeez I even prefer hyper Ceanataur to old Tiggy (cough cough Valor LS cough cough) and I think that World version is improved almost in everything.
Incredible video! I haven’t played the beta, so it’s fascinating learning all these differences. I love fighting Tigrex in older games, but I’m not a fast Hunter by any means. I actually enjoy facing him with Dual Blades; it’s fun weaving in and out from his arms with demon dashes+spin to win, even if it does make the fight go on much longer than hammering the head.
I understand why you think it’s not a great hunt overall, but I’ve always liked chargers. Diablos is one of my favorite monsters and she basically just charges. :P
That intro was sick, also great video Herny :D
G Rank
Actually it's master rank...
Alright well I'm just gonna call it G Rank anyway.

I still have to play Iceborne, but I loved the Tigrex in MH4U. He introduces not only the mechanic of the endgame, but also shown me how mobile this game could be. And to be honest, even without Stun-locking him in place, I found him to be one of the most interesting fights.
I main Dual Blade and I really enjoy mobile fights when I can fight monsters while always being on my toes (Which is why Kirin is my favorite Elder Dragon) and Tigrex really fit that bill for me
Molten Tigrex will always be one of my fav battles
The whole beginning sequence was a fevet dream of countless carts
Bro your production quality and effort is so above and beyond what other MH guys have going on. Keep it up!
Socks says it like "Tie-grehx", so I'm gonna stick with that. I've been saying it like that since he first debuted.
I also think it's also a western vs eastern thing. I hear it pronounced Tee-grehx more in Japan and Tie-grehx in western areas like America and Europe.
I'm all down for its official pronunciation being Tee-grehx, but I'll still call him Tie-grehx.
Most of it comes down to the Japanese name literally being 'Ti-ga-re-k-ku-su' like, it literally tells you its 'TEE' and not 'TAI'
herny you are exactly what i wanted to be as an MH youtuber
i salute you dude this shit is amazing, keep it up
The satisfaction of accidentally being in the right spot where those rocks go over your head. But oof the constant omn omn omn spiny charging XD
Ooooh! SMT music! Hell yeah, have a like dude!
The closing view on this situation legit relaxed me to the point of not wanting to get up holy shit.
At least Capcom did this better than Game Freak
Game freak only wants money
BOI
We're so blessed Capcom didn't give Monster Hunter the same treatment Game Freak gave Pokemon.
I mean, it’s not like they haven’t done any poor decisions especially with world (ie lack of pause button, rathian and Glavenus don’t actually turf war in game, EX crossover monster forced multiplayer bullshit) but at least they haven’t lied to us yet to act innocent yet.
I still can’t get over that they made 700+ Pokemon from scratch in X and Y but can’t port those same Pokemon over, for reasons
Did what ?
Iceborne Tigrex's hitboxes are gonna be neat to explore, I got hit by that spin when I was ABOVE him aerial dodging w IG. Caught me off guard for sure
1:22 The sudden Shin Megami Tensei IV music fits Tigrex so well 😍
Yep Tigrex from 2g was a literal horror show for me because of the surprise encounter for that 1 Star mission. When I finally faced him I got so scared at one point I hid into a hole (forgot which zone it was. But the one that you have to couch through to get to a small hidden portion of the zone. I hid in that couch hole for a good 20 seconds to calm myself.
Tigrex is now unpredictable? Now THAT will keep me on my toes! I main s&s, so evading Old World Tigger should be easy enough if I put away my weapon early enough (I don't remember the term). But New World Tigger!? That will get my blood pumping and I have the impression it's going to be exhilarating in a good way! I look forward to it.
I got mixed feelings. Cool opening, then you said "tye-grex" 😒and then immediately to SMT4 Boss music. 👌🏾👌🏾Another great vis dude
SMT music in a monsterhunter video, actual dream achieved
GU Tigrex: I turn.
MHW Tigrex: I *R U N.*
I liked as soon as you said Tie-grex again after he said it’s Tee-grex 😂😂😂
Players: How do you say these names, Capcom?! Tell us!!!
Capcom: Tee-grex
Players: No, its tie-grex! REEEEEEEE!!!
i absolutely loved the edit at 7:00
The amount of times I’ve been miles ABOVE his spinning charge, and still been hit, is way too much
Tie-grex for life! Great video Mr Herny
Hi Wolfy!
@@Dave_Chrome Hello :)
I approve the background music choices!
The thing that bothered about Iceborne Tigrex was the fact I’m so used to how this fight works in my head I would get caught off guard with the 4th charge, the extra spins and a lot of random stuff.
I didn’t like Tigrex because it was too predictable before but now it’s like Tigrex with ADHD.... you never know what’s gonna happen
Tigrex was rly easy for me in Generations but it was a lot harder in World. I actually kinda think that the difficulty spike did it justice. Tigrex is essentially Deviljho’s little cousin, it’s SUPPOSED to be hard.
8:35 "I think it's the best version of Tigrex we were gonna get[...] unless of course we're gonna get a new switch title."
Well, here we are. There's a new switch title, Tigrex is in it and honestly he's pretty good. His spin doesn't come out instantly and has the telegraph again, and if he spins out of charge he does a little taunt that you can punish that I don't remember being in World. His hitboxes are also better (in my experience anyway)
I. Love. Tigrex. And ever Monster Hunter he was in was fun. Might be because I started with Freedom 2 but he'll always be my favorite
Well, honestly speaking...
Out of all the Monsters in the MH franchise....
Tirgex is the one that i remember the most. He actually made me think of a strategy to kill him while i sleep...
My friends even saw me air holding a PSP and shouting "Damn Tigrex"
The bit at 2:02 made me chuckle and subscribe.
My favorite Tigrex version is the one from FU. Intense. Fast. Maybe too powerful. And I feel like they also had this amazing, legitimately scary reputation/persona that they only had in that game.
As cool as the old Tigrex combat was when mastered, my personal outlook on the ideal Tigrex gameplay is when he's unrelenting, dare-I-say blindingly fast, trampling you and causing you to have to chain dives. I loved that stuff.
And in Iceborne he still does that. He's a little on the slow side for Tigrex, but he still gives you plenty of oh shit oh my god what the fuck he's still on top of me moments.
whenever i see the tigrex 4u intro i have to think of monster hunter mlg, good video herny
Honestly, I think the MHW Iceborne version of Tigrex live up to its image and lore that I imagine the first time it was introduced back in MHF2, the feral apex predator.
Not enough people use the aggressive xylophones in videos.
We require explosives
You really just casually slap that oversized sword on tigrex face lol 😂😂😂
I love Tigrex's gear much more than his hunt. That Hunting Horn is fantastic. HG Earplugs + Atk Up L at natural purple sharpness? Yes please.
You are making me want to play shinmeg apocalypse. Good choice of tunes.

OwO What's this? :3
Back on the subject at hand: I love me some charging monsta. Diablos, Tigrex, Seltas Queen are all in my list of favorite monsters.
But that might be because I'm a shield main (be it lance/GL, SnS and CB, if it has a shield I play it.) and the fun of blocking a big ass charging monster never gets old for me.
AYYYYYE someone else who loves GL, we are far and few between my comrade
Fighting tempered versions of him and others at higher HR feels a little off, but I really cant put my finger on why, unfortunitally. Might just be his speed and aggressiveness feeling higher than previous games. He definitely is still suited to weapons like charge blade where you can abuse guard points to stay safe.
He's still one of my favourite monsters in the series, a little disappointed they didn't pay homage to the popo hunt with his encounter in iceborne
That persona 3 battle music was perfect
I feel like I'm that one guy alone who pronounces it
Tig-Rex
Tig like tigger from whennie the poo
Haha you said poo like poo poo
i do that too
