I'm not saying we shouldn't use terrain or world mechanic to do the run, but considering to be able to compete with other weapon, we need to spend half the fight on using terrains is telling about how bad the current swaxe iteration looks :(
For me the glaring issue with the switch axe is flow and while counters are a step forward I feel like if they worked the same way as guardpoints (like integrated counter/offset frames in certain moves) it would have been more in character with the swaxe. But instead we got a worse elemental discharge and moves removed basically forcing a certain play style. It feels as though whoever did the changes doesn't understand the weapon the same way he does for other weapons.
What do you think about the sound and impact of the axe vs sword hits against the monsters? I don’t like the axe sounds 😭 Also is it me or does this version of swax remind you of MHGU in that it wants you to stay in sword mode instead of actually switching between the two???
@@riverstarmusic8656 It reminds me of not much tbf in GU damage in sword mode was much better and you had many ways to stay there forever, here it just feels weak
@@Ayrefliess Combat overall feels slower to me but ye as ppl said maybe its the time we get used to it, will be better with sets and skills but tbf damage should be buffed in full game
I say this lightly because ik when i first started playing monster hunter in general, EVERYTHING felt slow as molasses because i wasn't used to how movement worked in the game, but as someone who started with swaxe in mh world and has loved the weapon since i started playing world in 2018, the weapon is TOO DAMN SLOW with barely any defensive capabilities to warrant how slow it is, too many moves leave you wide open to get punished without anything other than evade roll to defend yourself and it just feels bad 😢 and i dont think its as simple as just give it a counter even tho having one makes it more comfortable, i feel like the weapon just needs to be faster overall to warrant and encourage its all attack no defense playstyle similar to how it felt in mh rise.
@@tasin2776 It works like World/Iceborne. Once you unlatch from ending ZSD early, you land as if you were standing still in sword mode. You can morph attack > Spiral Burst Slash if you need to refill gauge after ending the ZSD early.
@@tasin2776 Yeah, you have to make sure you input a direction and move a little before morphing or it will be the manual morph you do while standing still.

good run but so sad that the switch axe have to do rock damage for competitive run :/ i hope wee get a buff

@@ewy4010 Yup i wish i could do a normal fighting run and it wouldnt do 10-9mins but around 5 like other weapons...
They did good from world to rise only to become worst in wilds wtf capcom
This is not just a skilful sw hunter. He's a strategist too👍
I really hope rapid morph returns or something like it to make swaxe a little faster. Loved that skill!
Same, hope we get a good combo to do like we had
Rapid Morph is terrible design. Why would you want a small portion of your moveset to be faster and stronger, encouraging monotonous spammy gameplay?

1:39 Damn, it’s Christmas miracle that he’s still alive after that
i feel this doesn’t do swaxe justice but that’s only because of the equipment/skills we have available

2:14 how did you go into the discharge follow up from normal sword swings? is there a certain button press thats not shown or a skip?
@@supremeskunk239 its R2 and triangle + square in the same time

Yo those falling boulder reworks are pretty good in wilds, I might have to switch mains.
nice run. have you timed a run without falling rocks? how long does it take a speed runner like you?
@@splat9463 Thanks! Yes i did and it takes me around 10/9mins when other weapons get sub 5 xD

Haven't tested it myself but does ZSD do full damage if canceled early? That= way you don't get animation locked after detaching from the monster.
@@counterhitter8064 Ddnt test but its already low damage so losing few ticks would be even lower xD
@@vxplord Could you check if you can morph attack after early ZSD release?

@@J2Novae when I tried it I was doing the manual morph and not the morph attack. I'll try it again today, probably just inputted it wrong.

the switch axe is crap in this game in rise it was better faster
this is a bad representation of swaxe
@@sumisu_ Agreed but given the swaxe state n wilds its the best way i found to compete with other weapons
But a good representation of the hunter knowing his terrain.
Sounds like skill issue
get it down to 5
