How do we change the direction of our Slinger Burst / Stance on console tho? I've fiddled with numerous settings and it always bursts in the direction I'm previously going...
@@toml7320 There´s a camera setting you can change called Reticle Direction. Change to Camera´s Direction, so when you aim the reticle will appear where the camera is pointing to instead of where the character is facing.
Jesus fk. I watched this and start to implement it into my gameplay. Never felt so mobile in MHW and never landed so many True Charge in one hunt while the monster is moving. You've shown me a whole new world for my GS experience. Thank you so much for making this guide!!
I did tried it and now my playstyle is super aggresive and very mobile as well... usually i always ran out stamina coz the tackle thingy, now i have more reserved stamina ' 3')b
I've been really benefiting from these methods as well. You know de way, sir. I did have one question, does jumping wide swing carry over the hyper armor from tackle?
agreed, and another tip every monster have interval for every attack and they will be vulnerable at that time, thats when u start attacking it, only bitch slap them fully when they are down, stunned or tired
This video was fairly tucked away in a slew of other "Monster Hunter World Greatsword" how to videos. But yours is so informative and filled with so many useful tips that I'm very surprised this doesn't have WAY more views. Very well done on this video. I wouldn't mind seeing more like this. 👍🏻
Sir Alfred damn thank you this made my day! If u look at my low effort editing and thumbnail i certainly isnt advertising it well haha. But this whole channel is a passion project so really i get my high from comments like yours
Lool, been playing monter hunter for ages as a GS and CB main... These tips are brilliant. They're moves I should be using but keep forgetting because of testing all the damn weapons 🤣. Oh and I just found out you can TCS from a ledge hop ffs!
Hey man I know it's been 4 years but this tutorial is still fucking amazing and still relevant. I thought greatsword lacked mobility, but apparently not lmfao. Great tutorial
@@imaGiraffeMH Keep doing what you do. Im gonna tear into IB for 2024 since i was late to the expansion (reallyyy late). Hopefully can hold me half of this year to prep for wilds.
I felt i was missing something when i tried to play GS in Iceborne. First, you are the kind of person who remind me why UA-cam was awesome back in the day, when videos like this were far more popular than these wanna be MH "masters". You simply KNOW this weapon and i would love for you to make other videos if you ever decide to play another weapon or you think you could give some tips. Second, thanks for all the tips and tricks. They ACTUALLY show why GS is still on top.
Aymeric Dury wow ngl that really means a lot I appreciate it. The benefit of this being a small channel is that comments are coming in at a rate that i can still reply to most of them and I have fun doing so. Ive been putting off my SA guide for a longg time because Ive hit kind of a writers block. A lot of tech I wanna cover but I’m having trouble organizing it and making it flow. I have most of the footage now so idk we’ll have to wait and see.
Im a Giraffe no worries ! At least we know you only put videos when you feel like it and what’s the most important :p Funny you mention SA, my friend just asked to find a similar in depth guide without any bullshit about it because he mains SA and also feels he’s missing something. Anyways just tried to change my combo with your playstyle, thank you SO much i feel WAY more powerful and less open to monsters attacks :0 !
@@imaGiraffeMH just saw this now. Been playing a lot of GS because of this guide but main SA and would love a guide. There isn't really a proper one on UA-cam yet for IB. Anyway, thanks a ton :)
Never use GS since it’s too slow for me, but I can tell that this dude is a true hidden master of this weapon. He knows exactly what each movement does, how he can play them off one another, and exactly when to use his techniques. I’ve never respected GS more than I have now
Wow, can't believe this doesn't have more views. We all thought we knew GS, but it actually had this much depth and mobility. Absolutely nuts. Changes my whole perspective on the weapon.
You know, coming to world for the first time, and now in the midst of fighting Alatreon, I wish I had found this much sooner because this has got to be the most helpful greatsword guide I've seen yet. As someone who mained longsword for the entirety of the main game the comparison to fade slash made me ecstatic as well.
I'm super late to this party but I just wanted to say something... Holy moly my eyes have been opened. This video (after going into a solo hunt and just messing around with the stuff you've shown here) has changed the game for me. I've never landed so many back-to-back TCS's ever and on my first attempt it all just... worked. I was enjoying the GS but you've just introduced me to a whole new layer of depth (and fun). Also the editing on the TCS whiffs is great. Makes me want to make an "Unsatisfying Great Sword" montage where it's just TCS barely whiffing over and over again.
Dude, i've avoided the greatsword for how clunky it is. I saw your vid, applied it to my gameplay I'm loving this weapon! You opened a whole new world of gameplay that I'm loving. Thanks
Isomorph Next video is gonna be done in sign language through the mic. Would you guys prefer voice over tho? Been getting a lot of feedback regarding that
@@imaGiraffeMH Honestly, videos with people talking would be better if they weren't longer than 5 minutes (notable example I can think of is Boomstick Gaming's Perfect Rush video). Hearing someone talking for 10 minutes somehow triggers a reaction in my brain that turns all spoken words into white noise and I have to keep rewatching to get something in my head.
mesuchang Short, concise, and sweet. Got it. I dont intend my video going over 20 minutes anyways cuz i myself get turned off having to grind through an 30 minute guide. Thanks for the feedback!
So glad i clicked this rather than bloated over edited videos that dont really teach you about the inner workings of each weapon. SwAx main here and i have an intense appreciation for the spicy slinger movesets this is right up my alley.
Thanks a million to this guide! among all the 10-20 mins + video, this one just short/clean/informative with actual descriptive gameplay. just started MHW a week ago, was indecisive which weapon to main and thanks to you, i might just go with great sword xD My take away from this video: after every roll continue to tackle; after every tackle continue either side blow or side slash; after every side blow or side slash continue to sling shot; and after the sling shot continue to the TCS; rinse and repeat!
dude this is a high quality video. im subscribing despite you saying not to. like this video alone is more useful than like 50% of the content on some of the other channels that put out useless videos one after the other.
Seeing this video has reignited my passion for the greatsword. I stuck with it throughout the main story (new player here), but dropped it as I moved into AT content and found the monsters to be too quick and find myself missing my hits all the time. Thank you for the helpful showcase!
This is brilliant, I wish youtube had put this higher up the page when looking for guides, better than any GS guide i have seen, all without the pointless chatter and intro. I'll admit to putting my greatsword down for a few hunts latley as I was starting to get tired of the hit > sheath > run > hit > sheath and wanted something more mobile with bit of a combo aspect. This video gave me all of that back with my main weapon. Well explained and demonstrated, Great job.
I'm probably late to the party as I stopped playing MHW last 2019 but I have descended to the pits of hell again after getting my PS5. Been using DS and GS since MHP3rd and this is the first time I've seen someone explained each move on a granular level. Best GS guide for beginners and even advance levels. Can't wait to try them out after my shift. Thank you!

Bro, This is really awesome you're using the slinger to make more moves as if it's like you broke the entire mechanism of MHW. This is great. Thanks for this guide!
Hey man, wanted to say thanks. I've been a GS main since Freedom Unite, but have been struggling in World. These, to me, were so easy to incorporate it feels like I knew them all along. Thank you so much for the advice.
Never thought of using the side swipe as a dodge. To me it's always just been an underpowered attack. I feel like a whole new world has opened up to me.
I actually started to use the sideswipe when AT elders hit the scene in PC due the faster recovery which you REALLY needed. Iceborne made it even more useful, actually carries you more forward and you can steer yourself more to the side. Plus all the shennigans shown in the video
I’m not used to the Greatsword, so I came in to get a few tips (LS/IG/CB/Hammer user). This was very informative, and should help ease the pain of missing every. single. strike. with this thing.
Wow man you have opened my eyes. I thought the slinger burst was a neat short cut and I failed to see just how impactful it is on GS life. Thanks for the video you rock
I'm a new player in MHW:I and I've always loved the Great Sword. I Though I main the GS in this game, I've always felt like I was inefficient. I decided to look for some GS guides and I've stumbled across this one and this is by far the best guide I stumbled across. You are awesome man. Thank you for sharing the blessings that you have been blessed with. Hunting with my GS feels lighter than ever. God bless you man.
Best most informative video I have seen for this game! I spent 30min in the training area last night and then practiced on a jaguras and then went and did some tempered investigations. A whole new feeling for great sword and it's going to be hard to put it down now!
That's sweet, I always used Side Blow and Jumping Wide Slash pre-Iceborne, really great news that they get extra utility through Slinger Burst, thanks for the information
Damn, what a great video and to think about the things I've missed all this time playing great sword, I feel like an absolute noon now, basically only ever used overhead slash, strong charce and TCS, you have truly shown me the light, thanks a lot
Your guide helped me so much, finally someone that shows how to play with examples from a real hunt and not just Training pole or speedrun footage. Thanks alot for this, made me enjoy the game much more.
5 years later and still a very usefull guide it completly changed the way i felt about gs now i feel like i can be way more aggresive and hit more tcs thank you for the guide!
Thank you man,when i first played this game i was a IG main,i tried GS and loved,with some knowledge,was easy to take down the biggest monsters,when iceborne came out the GS felt slow against the new and quicker monsters,i was pushed back to my IG,your video,your job helped me find my way back to my loved wyvern ignition!! +1 sub!!!!
This video may be one of the best videos for Iceborne, straight to the point, all questions answered, thank you for helping me with dominating every hunt, you are incredible.
I just wanna say thank you from the bottom of my heart. This 10 minute video completely changed the way I use the GS which made me change a new out look on this game. Now I can contribute to teamfights much better and I love you for it.
Just want to let you know after 5 years, this is still fantastic. I beat the iceborne story with GS after learning to abuse clutch claw and stagger mechanics from JalBagel’s speedruns, and now with this, I can see we have the mobility to keep up with endgame walls like Raging, furious, and so forth. Absolute top tier video and something to still be proud of after all this time, thank you so much. (Finally! I can stop tackle-roll-sheathing when a clagger ruins my tcs charge setup. It’s gap closing time)
@@AndrewKnoll-g1t its crazy since i made this on a whim and just wanted to share to a small audience on reddit. Still insane on how much traction that it got. Thanks for watching!
@ You gave the people what they needed, when they needed it. The “No fluff and a little scuffed” gameplay content always helps bring these types of advanced mechanics to life. You struck gold, basically 😂
damn.. this guide is so good that changed my view in GSword playstyle. i was searching for advance Gsword guide and this one hit me the most. great stuff mate!! 👍
I just started playing GS in Iceborne. I've been enjoying a lot, and your guide makes it look like a different weapon then I've been using. I've got a lot of practicing to do. Thank you for the effort you put into making this.
Why am I finding this now this is amazing! As a GS main this is incredibly useful for all of us new and old. Keep up the great work Man, I got some work to do, peace.
I always thought the GS was a slow and boring weapon with like 3 usable moves. In just 10 minutes you completely changed my opinion. Tried picking it up and it's an absolute blast. Thank you.
Holy shit this video was just perfect. Decided to main GS in Iceborne now that it hit PC and I won't lie, it wasn't exactly the most enjoyable experience with the mobs being so fast and not being CC'd with flashpods/stuns. I did a few hours of hunting after your video and holy what a difference the slinger rotation made, so many what would be missed TCS finally connecting! Changes the whole gameplay and idea of GS being an immobile weapon.
This was really helpful, I am just getting back into GS after maining HH for a large portion of my MHW career and this is EXACTLY what i was looking for in a tutorial. Well done.
Watching this as a PC player makes me miss my rocket sword, but good tips none the less. One thing to never underestimate it the ability to go from a jumping charged attacked, into the slinger burst, and a true charge. Really good when you have to position on the fly off an edge.
This video made me rediscover GS which I havent played since MHGen or something. Holy cow it feels like an entirely different thing now, and way more badass. I was also surprised by how much faster my hunts went compared to a few weeks ago playing CB, LS and HH. I love GS again thanks to this great guide. Too often the how to videos just reiterate movesets and that's it, this is a more practical way to show how to play the weapon. I don't even comment on YT but I like this so much so thanks again.
holy shit. my mind is blown and my third eye just opened! I recently started a new playthrough in World cuz I wanted to learn a new weapon while waiting for Wilds and outside of the draw attack, hit n run playstyle and 'tackle is the best addition GS got in World,' I didn't know anything else about this weapon. Now I'm halfway through Iceborne and watching this video CHANGED EVERYTHING for me. Styling on Nargacuga has never felt so satisfying. 😂 Thank you so much for this, man. Might have to bring GS as my 2nd weapon when Wilds comes out!
For once the youtube algorhythm hit the nail on the head.. which is exactly what I'll be doing in my next hours with the game while trying to get this stuff into my muscle memory. After almost 600 hours maining the GS you'd think I knew everything, but as it turns out, I don't. Thank you kind sir, this'll be fun and interesting to learn.
Hello, just started out in the world of MH and I initially thought the GS was clumsy and slow. I came across your video and it motivated me to give the weapon a try. The tackles and slinger bursts looked smooth and really cool, and I just had to try it out. It’s like fighting games, you know - you practise a character only because it looks cool to you. I started working my way through MHW before Iceborne using GS, and over time “Crit Draw” GS was the way I learned to fight properly, patiently waiting for that window to get one hit in and sheathe. I had just now learned to react to monster staggers with clutch-wounding, and it was just really fun. And learned that GS actually had lots of options because of the constant sheathing and good sheathe speed; I could superman dive lots of things and use items very freely. I came back to your video just now and everything started to make sense, since I had used the Charge > Slinger Burst > TCS combo quite a few times to precisely cut tails or break parts, and of course had quite a few more times of whiffing TCS and eating one too many cart-worthy hits. I feel that your video has shown me the maximum potential of the weapon, and it will inspire me to work more on GS going into Iceborne; so thank you very much for the guide! I’m a big fan of technical, in-depth guides with character.
This made Greatsword finally click for me, Most people watch outdated guides about GS and it shows, these tips are so game changing they make GS feel like a totaly different weapon, top notch!
I rewatched and noticed there wasnt mentioned of fully charging the fade away slash. If you fully sharge stronge slash, then tackle cancel it and immediately do the jumping side slash (fade away) it carries the charge from strong slash. This hit is the 2nd strongest next to a fully charged and connected tcs. HOWEVER IF YOU CANT CONNECT the first hit on tcs or fully charge, the fade away is more damage given the single hit and carried charge plus you come right out of tacjle hyper armor. Other than that he hit EVERYTHING. 11/10 guide. Spread the word!
This video deserves millions of views...!!! Man that is some awesome info, I didn’t even know half of the stuff you mentioned, def gonna try it all out. Cheers!
I never thought you could actually chain attacks and close wide distances with combos using the side blow. I've been only using the unsheathed roll + tackle to charge and counter through attacks and roars but it was never so efficient and effective (I always run out of stamina) T__T Thank you so much man. Still helpful even after years. I very much appreciate all of this. Like and sub very well-deserved.
I'm very happy that I found this video, I didn't know a lot of the tips in this video and with them in mind GS actually feels like a hit and run weapon again. Thank you very much :)

I'm a new player in MHW:I and I've always loved the Great Sword. I Though I main the GS in this game, I've always felt like I was inefficient. I decided to look for some GS guides and I've stumbled across this one and this is by far the best guide I stumbled across. You are awesome man. Thank you for sharing the blessings that you have been blessed with. Hunting with my GS feels lighter than ever. God bless you man.
Only recently after 600+ hours did I give the GS a shot and this guide was a huge help, much appreciate it!
I've been playing GS since MHW came out, loved every second and you fundamentally changed my play style with this. Incredible.
I'm going to have to watch this video so many times haha
Absolutely 10/10 this is the guide i was looking for!
Best most informative video I have seen for this game! I spent 30min in the training area last night and then practiced on a jaguras and then went and did some tempered investigations. A whole new feeling for great sword and it's going to be hard to put it down now!
That's sweet, I always used Side Blow and Jumping Wide Slash pre-Iceborne, really great news that they get extra utility through Slinger Burst, thanks for the information
Damn, what a great video and to think about the things I've missed all this time playing great sword, I feel like an absolute noon now, basically only ever used overhead slash, strong charce and TCS, you have truly shown me the light, thanks a lot
Your guide helped me so much, finally someone that shows how to play with examples from a real hunt and not just Training pole or speedrun footage. Thanks alot for this, made me enjoy the game much more.
5 years later and still a very usefull guide it completly changed the way i felt about gs now i feel like i can be way more aggresive and hit more tcs thank you for the guide!
@@AmA-bw9px glad ppl are still watching it 5 years later!
Thank you man,when i first played this game i was a IG main,i tried GS and loved,with some knowledge,was easy to take down the biggest monsters,when iceborne came out the GS felt slow against the new and quicker monsters,i was pushed back to my IG,your video,your job helped me find my way back to my loved wyvern ignition!! +1 sub!!!!
This video may be one of the best videos for Iceborne, straight to the point, all questions answered, thank you for helping me with dominating every hunt, you are incredible.
I just wanna say thank you from the bottom of my heart. This 10 minute video completely changed the way I use the GS which made me change a new out look on this game. Now I can contribute to teamfights much better and I love you for it.
Just want to let you know after 5 years, this is still fantastic. I beat the iceborne story with GS after learning to abuse clutch claw and stagger mechanics from JalBagel’s speedruns, and now with this, I can see we have the mobility to keep up with endgame walls like Raging, furious, and so forth. Absolute top tier video and something to still be proud of after all this time, thank you so much.
(Finally! I can stop tackle-roll-sheathing when a clagger ruins my tcs charge setup. It’s gap closing time)
@@AndrewKnoll-g1t its crazy since i made this on a whim and just wanted to share to a small audience on reddit. Still insane on how much traction that it got. Thanks for watching!
@ You gave the people what they needed, when they needed it. The “No fluff and a little scuffed” gameplay content always helps bring these types of advanced mechanics to life. You struck gold, basically 😂
This guide instantly made me want to learn GS! Thank you for the informative video!
damn.. this guide is so good that changed my view in GSword playstyle. i was searching for advance Gsword guide and this one hit me the most. great stuff mate!! 👍
Even after many years I still thought that the side sweep was a useless move, granted I didn't play GS that much, still u opened my eyes
I just started playing GS in Iceborne. I've been enjoying a lot, and your guide makes it look like a different weapon then I've been using. I've got a lot of practicing to do. Thank you for the effort you put into making this.
Thank you so much! I recentlly started MHWorld to prepare for MHWilds and was really struggeling in Iceborn. I improved so hard after your video.
Why am I finding this now this is amazing! As a GS main this is incredibly useful for all of us new and old. Keep up the great work Man, I got some work to do, peace.
Ylfar Oden good luck!!
Still the most educational mhw video to date. Come back every time I get back into mhw for some new update.
I always thought the GS was a slow and boring weapon with like 3 usable moves. In just 10 minutes you completely changed my opinion. Tried picking it up and it's an absolute blast.
Thank you.
Excellently made straight to the point video. This helped me improve a fuck ton. Thanks a lot.
Man 4 years later and i find that you can be this mobile with the GS. Thanks, your guide was amazing.
I liked this and had to comment because of how unreal this is. This is how its meant to be played. Hands down.
Holy shit this video was just perfect. Decided to main GS in Iceborne now that it hit PC and I won't lie, it wasn't exactly the most enjoyable experience with the mobs being so fast and not being CC'd with flashpods/stuns. I did a few hours of hunting after your video and holy what a difference the slinger rotation made, so many what would be missed TCS finally connecting! Changes the whole gameplay and idea of GS being an immobile weapon.
AcKing1 glad this guide ended up being a game changer for you!👌👌
Thanks dude I just recently found gs to be my favorite weapon :) This video was very helpful!
No bullshit, straight to the point video tutorials like this are what we need. Thanks!
FeanorBR i hate filler shit in a lot of guides across the board glad i delivered! Im also just lazy so i dont wanna waste time on unnecessary stuff
@@imaGiraffeMH Well, you have a talent for this. Definitely subscribing, hope to see more goof stuff like this.
This video just made me a GS main. Well done! You should a level of creativity I havent seen in other vids.
This was really helpful, I am just getting back into GS after maining HH for a large portion of my MHW career and this is EXACTLY what i was looking for in a tutorial. Well done.
Watching this as a PC player makes me miss my rocket sword, but good tips none the less. One thing to never underestimate it the ability to go from a jumping charged attacked, into the slinger burst, and a true charge. Really good when you have to position on the fly off an edge.
What a fantastic guide explaining GS mechanics! Thx a lot!
This video made me rediscover GS which I havent played since MHGen or something. Holy cow it feels like an entirely different thing now, and way more badass. I was also surprised by how much faster my hunts went compared to a few weeks ago playing CB, LS and HH. I love GS again thanks to this great guide. Too often the how to videos just reiterate movesets and that's it, this is a more practical way to show how to play the weapon. I don't even comment on YT but I like this so much so thanks again.
pencilswordfish this means a ton to me thank you🙏
honestly this was pretty revolutionary and made me look at great sword completely differently. thank you
man i've been a gs main for ages but i have NEVER used the jumping wide slash. that's absolutely brilliant. i'm gonna have to learn gs all over again
very good, excelent guide. Thank you very much for posting this... And btw your player skill is spetacular.
Umbra Noctis thank you!!
This video is amazing. Best GS guide I've seen by far. Thank you so much!
holy shit. my mind is blown and my third eye just opened!
I recently started a new playthrough in World cuz I wanted to learn a new weapon while waiting for Wilds and outside of the draw attack, hit n run playstyle and 'tackle is the best addition GS got in World,' I didn't know anything else about this weapon. Now I'm halfway through Iceborne and watching this video CHANGED EVERYTHING for me. Styling on Nargacuga has never felt so satisfying. 😂 Thank you so much for this, man. Might have to bring GS as my 2nd weapon when Wilds comes out!
For once the youtube algorhythm hit the nail on the head.. which is exactly what I'll be doing in my next hours with the game while trying to get this stuff into my muscle memory. After almost 600 hours maining the GS you'd think I knew everything, but as it turns out, I don't. Thank you kind sir, this'll be fun and interesting to learn.
i knew i was missing something. tackle > sideswipe > slinger tcs fishing might be the secret sauce i was looking for. great guide.
Thanks for this great guide sir ! Gives a good idea on what you can do with it and how/when to do it :)
Best guide yet - didn't feel as if I wasted a second. Thank you!
900hr player picking up GS. This guide was short and concise. Good stuff.
Hello, just started out in the world of MH and I initially thought the GS was clumsy and slow. I came across your video and it motivated me to give the weapon a try. The tackles and slinger bursts looked smooth and really cool, and I just had to try it out. It’s like fighting games, you know - you practise a character only because it looks cool to you.
I started working my way through MHW before Iceborne using GS, and over time “Crit Draw” GS was the way I learned to fight properly, patiently waiting for that window to get one hit in and sheathe. I had just now learned to react to monster staggers with clutch-wounding, and it was just really fun. And learned that GS actually had lots of options because of the constant sheathing and good sheathe speed; I could superman dive lots of things and use items very freely.
I came back to your video just now and everything started to make sense, since I had used the Charge > Slinger Burst > TCS combo quite a few times to precisely cut tails or break parts, and of course had quite a few more times of whiffing TCS and eating one too many cart-worthy hits.
I feel that your video has shown me the maximum potential of the weapon, and it will inspire me to work more on GS going into Iceborne; so thank you very much for the guide! I’m a big fan of technical, in-depth guides with character.
I've learned SO MUCH from this video compared to others on youtube, thanks a ton
You've sold me on GS for Iceborne. Nice vid.
This made Greatsword finally click for me, Most people watch outdated guides about GS and it shows, these tips are so game changing they make GS feel like a totaly different weapon, top notch!
I rewatched and noticed there wasnt mentioned of fully charging the fade away slash. If you fully sharge stronge slash, then tackle cancel it and immediately do the jumping side slash (fade away) it carries the charge from strong slash. This hit is the 2nd strongest next to a fully charged and connected tcs. HOWEVER IF YOU CANT CONNECT the first hit on tcs or fully charge, the fade away is more damage given the single hit and carried charge plus you come right out of tacjle hyper armor. Other than that he hit EVERYTHING. 11/10 guide. Spread the word!
The tips were amazing, but what really had my dying was the little annotations. *yeet* fucking sent me.
Pruddycuddy i try my best😂🙏
Love this guide not crazy complicated and just explains it so easily. Plus its still great even after all these years
I keep coming back to this video as a reference, completely changes how I play GS
thank you, as a german i must say, ein dank dir sprech aus, wo hast mein weltbild bereichert und freude hast ins gemüte mir gezaubert. danke
Koi Boy dude where did you learn german
Really great video thank you for demonstrating these little unknown tips
This video deserves millions of views...!!! Man that is some awesome info, I didn’t even know half of the stuff you mentioned, def gonna try it all out. Cheers!
I never thought you could actually chain attacks and close wide distances with combos using the side blow. I've been only using the unsheathed roll + tackle to charge and counter through attacks and roars but it was never so efficient and effective (I always run out of stamina) T__T
Thank you so much man. Still helpful even after years. I very much appreciate all of this. Like and sub very well-deserved.
I'm very happy that I found this video, I didn't know a lot of the tips in this video and with them in mind GS actually feels like a hit and run weapon again. Thank you very much :)
