Holy fuck this is amazing. I basically gave up on using normal GL against the stronger monsters of iceborne but here you are wrecking house against one of the top 5 without breaking a sweat. Simply amazing!!
Thank you sincerely, Mr. Foca! I apologize for my late response and overall lack of Gunlance content for you to learn from - this is not my main weapon. Regardless, I am glad that you were able to draw inspiration from this video!
i might be wrong but this is the only video i saw that has slain Velk using a Normal Shelling gunlance. its usually Wide because its just difficult to land a burst.
Trust me Schinken, it was PAINFUL. I would not do it again -- this was solely for submission on mhwleaderboards.com. Thank you for your kind words, and I will always be using your Gunlance Rework. I am looking into implementing your shelling changes to make a speedrun with more combos than just Full Burst, for example Poke-shell during small openings and Full Burst during large openings. It will need lots of practice and perhaps even a new monster. Keep in touch 😄
This is still undefeated 3 years later. We managed to achieve faster time by playing "Lancer style" with Offensive Guard, meanwhile this actual Lancer shows us how to stick to our GUNCE. The role reversal is too good. Love the stylish "counter thrust wyrmstake blast" btw, and you're still a mad lad for figuring out how to full burst that thing. Would love to see your take on the "Lancer style" if you're up for it, Lancer doing "Lancer style" on a Gunlance sounds like all kinds of fun.
This is so kind of you to say! In fact, I had been handmaking my thumbnails because I had not yet discovered the Monster Hunter thumbnail generator (mhchargeblade.net/tools/thumbnail-maker). I'm glad to hear that you found the thumbnail visually pleasing!
I’ll be honest even I gave up on the gp when the full game came out. It was too niche and required too much thinking to apply it to every monster. Great job showcasing this tech against one of the hardest monsters in the game and glad to see you alive👍
Gun lance is one of the easiest weapons for early game. I don't even know what on earth are you talking about. Great sword, long sword and bow (other popular choices) are way harder.
@@imaGiraffeMHI'm talking about you genius, not him. You said you gave up on the weapon once the game came out. You were fighting AT Velkhana before Iceborne?? Dear god. the IQ of some people...
@@iluvatarchem i gave up on using the gp( meaning guard point in case you dont understand because youre new to the game) when the full game came out. The full context is that i made a gunlance guardpoint guide showcasing this tech during iceborne demo (video in the run description) but didnt think this was very useful when the dlc officially came out🤷🏻♂️. I was glad that it was showcased well in this run. The fact that the best insult you can pull out of your ass is some “omg haha low iq” shit is lowkey hilarious its like a kid thinking he just did pulled an epic roast in front of his friends but they just think youre cringe😂 youre perfect mate never change👍
@@imaGiraffeMHI appreciate the detailed explanation and my answer would have been different if that had been your original post, BUT your original comment was this: "I’ll be honest even I gave up on the gp when the full game came out. It was too niche and required too much thinking to apply it to every monster." Now tell me: What in that comment has anything to do with what you just told me (apart from the self aggrandizing "even I")? You just posted, I answered with something completely logical, you then went on informing me that Velkhana is not endgame, which had nothing to do with anything, so i proceeded to assume your IQ is low. It was not an insult out of my ass. It was you not being able to follow a simple thread of posts on utube:P I understand now that you just assumed that I knew who you are but at that moment, with what you wrote you just seemed stupid. capisce?
Don't be discouraged, Zeraiyah-I was only able to pull off some of those dodges because I had Evade Window 5 equipped. I reckon if you put on Evade Window as well, you would be able to perform the same dodges. I think you'll discover a new confidence within yourself when you try it out!
Cant believe how consistently quick you can run these. This run is so risky! Any chance you might try a wide GL? The full burst is still strong and the quick poke - shell - shell combo is quite strong depending on your WSB placement. Would love to see you run it.
Some would say I'm a Velkhana enthusiast! I really need to begin practicing against other monsters. It's nice how AT Velkhana arrived after Fatalis, so using Fatalis gear against her for speedruns is normal. Using Fatalis gear against pre-Fatalis monsters for speedruns easily beats the top 3 spreedruns on mhwleaderboards.com and makes me feel kinda bad. About Wide Gunlance, that's definitely an option! Unfortunately, my Wide skills are severely lacking and I will need many, many hours of practice with it before I can confidently use it even in casual hunts. Even worse, it is quite a bit behind the other Gunlance combos at 6th place for DPM (out of 7th place) and still uses Lightbreak Gunlance. This means it will be hard to use Wide GL to compete against Normal and Slap Gunlance in speedruns unless the fight greatly prefers Wide Shelling (e.g., Rajang). I will definitely consider it against those matchups, though! Another thing I would try is using Schinkikami's Reworked Gunlance to incorporate both the Wide and Normal playstyle during hunts. In other words, using both Poke-shell and Full Burst with the help of his genius shelling modifications. This could make for some very interesting and unique gameplay! Thank you for your suggestion, Aedel 😊
Awesome run, also is it faster to quick reload into smash for full burst rather than just Rising slash smash into full burst? Cause at certain moments like 6:39 you reload-smash-burst rather than just rising slash-smash-burst despite being at full ammo, im not sure if this is actually faster or just a tiny error, cause I do see other gunlance speed runners do this too
it is faster , slightly faster , also you get less animation lock which allow you to cancel it with a dodge where as using rising you're stuck in that animation for long and can get hit. Like basically you can dodge after the first attack , then after reload instead of only being able once after rising.
As a matter of fact, I primarily play the Lance as well! You can find videos of me using the Lance on my channel. In particular, my AT Velkhana videos have lots of hop dodges, both for positioning and evasion purposes. I hope they help you, khhnator.
holy shit! 3:45 - 4:55 you two are at each others throats, from those nasty tail stabs to that fast recovery and genius wyrmstake blast. how do you dodge the ice puddles at 4:14 and 6:59? you are literally at the EDGE of the ice puddle and then choose to full reload like a madman.
That is pure experience, anyone can do that if they fight Velkhana enough times. The run in general is impressive AF but that part isn't something special, just experience.
Sorry for the late reponse! I was away from this channel for quite a while, and just got back into the game. AJDC is totally right, it's just from pure experience! It will come with time. In general, one of the Gunlance's extended backhop (left stick pointing backward after performing an action) plus Evade Extender 2 is enough to safely evacuate you from the ice puddle if you are at or behind its centre. If you are past the centre, you should hop forward or to the side to safely evacuate it. Keep practising it and you'll get it!
U need to do certain event mission or reach end game content area, the guiding land, and hunt the monsters there. Then the forge layered armor option will be unlocked depends on what monster you have hunted.
You can either get armor or use decorations that give you speed sharpening( max up to lvl 3). Or you can use Great Whetfish fin+( there is an event quest in master rank you can use to farm them easily)

Thank you, Razgriz1ne. Although, I must confess that I am actually a plain Lancer at heart. 😳 Glad you enjoyed this!

@@matthewmorrison3745 Pretty much lol
The most impressive is..... you i-frame through every attacks she throw at you. That's what I call precision & grace!
Thank you! This video was sponsored by Evade Window. I'm not really sure how I would play the Gunlance without it 😅
i might be wrong but this is the only video i saw that has slain Velk using a Normal Shelling gunlance. its usually Wide because its just difficult to land a burst.
Works without a GP I see :D You are just so good with this weapon. Nice run

this is by far the most impressive gunlance gameplay i've ever seen holy fucking shit.
That was such a beautiful run
Thank you kindly, Vril!
I miss this game..
Well done for the run.
Thank you very much, Xander! Fortunately, MHW isn't going anywhere, and you are welcome back to play any time.
wtf such a beast awesome run!!!!!
Oh my fucking god. That was so beautiful, you mastered the Gunlance perfectly, I can't wait to see you do speed runs with it at MHWilds

Evade window did all the work I don't know if I'm impressed or disappointed
2:48 I cannot count how many times I have died to this bs
Evasion gunlance is real, masterful!
to quote a word for this hated weapon:
the weapon does not make the man lethal, its the man that makes the weapon lethal
Lol, Mr. Torres! Thank you for using that quote in a funny and true way.
Beautiful
Holy shit you're so good respect.
Thank you for your kind comment! I hope this video helps you do the same thing against Velkhana.
Well played bro
Thank you very much, Me Zikry!
Sick run! What's your layered armor? Never seen it before and it looks sick
The moment I saw you back hop past all those attacks without taking damage I put my copy of MH: World in the closet......

@@Yanxi Oh no I was joking. I still haven't beaten Fatalis yet so I can't quit until a new MH is released on Playstation. 😁😁
@@zeraiyahbenisrael4010you killed fatalis yet homie
i really need to train my back step
Nice
He who masters the Gunlance can go face-to-face with some of the fiercest monsters
Crazzzzzzzy I can't believe this fuxxing monster hunted by fullbust lol
Lol!! At least now we know it's possible! Hopefully it works out for you too.
You have more mobility in GL than my DB

those dodges, man i main lance and i sure need to learn hop dodging, on super high end monsters blocking is not a option, it just takes too much time

Last slap was : get yo ass over here mfk
how do you not get affected by the icy ground? when i take gunlance the ground immobilizes me and ofc i get 1 shot right after.
Blast Dash/Reverse Blast Dash should just be standard on GL forever.

how come the radiating walls don't impact you?
can the game transmog change weapon appearence?
at the smithy augment the just oto layered there u can change apererance tempered monster in guiding gives u ther transmog for all weapons

Pretty sure you have to unlock tundra area.

aside from the one commenting about the skill, our guy here used a Whetfish Fin+ for a faster sharpen. he basically didnt use any skill, just whetfish
