I think that for those of us who might not be good in confirming those final hits to get to the red gauge, brave LS can be a great way for those of us so that we just focus on the fight and get the blue edge instead.
mas8705 Yeah, I agree. Although LS is one of my best weapons, it can be annoying to get your LS to red sometimes. So only worrying about getting it up to one level is great.
Finally! I'll be able to take a longsword and not trip everyone! To be honest, the long sword is one of the coolest weapons in my opinion, but got a tad old between styles, just the same stress about keeping the gauge red, you go at it in different ways, but in the end every style is just... "KEEP RED! KEEP RED! YELLOW...NOOOOOO!!!" This looks like a unique twist on it that really mixes things up. I'm starting to say Brave is my favorite weapon now! LOL! All the brave styles are looking appealing to me, even weapons that I don't normally like. #MHXXForTheWest
I will probably murder everything I hunt with great efficiency and feel like Kishou Arima to boot. *This comment is subject to change pending motion values.
Thats because its a slow weapon at least when it is drawed however a good gunlancer can deal some serious dmg with brave and the right hunting arts and i know for a fact ill be using brave GL and brave HBG them sleep runs are going to be 👌(also only true pros use evade GL/Lance screw guard +2)
As a longsword main. I am very skeptical of this. The counters are great, but without red gauge or confirmation of the strength of blue gauge I'm not sure about this one.
I think Brave LS is stupidly strong in the right hands. I seen other people run with it and The ability to counter at the start of spirit combo just allow you to just brute force monsters and their attacks
I admit it's a little concerning, but as a fellow main consider the potential of going full offense instead of needing to always play defensively. You could keep the pressure on to compensate for the lack of red power. It's at least worth a test run on a few monsters to see how it fleshes out, especially when the data miners will get the exact numbers for us when the game is out.
While this could be a glorified Adept style... I love it. What we lose in gauge I think we could make up for in the sheer constant ability to utilize the counter versus an evade that takes more time and might not always hit. Might not switch in the end, but it's a damn cool option.
Steven Mueller Your health slowly drains but you get a big attack boost (and a slight affinity boost as well) however as long as you keep hitting the monster you'll regain health (kinda making you a dark knight). Now combine this with the already aggressive Brave style and the snowbaron set (which increases the rate you recover red health and stamina) your DPS will be great (assuming the blue brave gauge is as good as the regular yellow spirits gauge).
Welp, things be wont change for me, I mained LS and CB in MHgen and if MHXX comes to the West, it will be LS and CB again. Seriously, they are freaking beasts in brave mode!
I know the Focus skill is all but useless on longsword because of Unhinged Spirit, but what if it charged the brave gauge faster too? If that were to be the case the Furious Rajang armor would be ideal for the longsword and one I, personally, would think twice about changing out of.
i will probably play brave longsword but for me it won't replace adapt. the counter looks really strong and powerful and brave mode looks strong BUT no yellow or red gauge and no fade slash (which is kinda not that big of a deal. adep just gives you about as much survivabilaity and also levels up the gauge really fast
Jordan William it jus seems like while brave has a strong counter i would rather have the full white, yellow and red gauges that build up instead of one faster gauge that is in between white and yellow charge
+Jordan William I've probably just never really been a fan of the cancel in a longsword set and blue chage compared to red even if it may be more fluid
Kai Lovlin I do love Long Sword (it's my main Adept Style alongside Sword & Shield), but the Spirit Reckoning in Adept Style just took a little long recovery animation. What I like in Brave Style, that Spirit Reckoning can be chained like almost nothing (this is the true power of Brave, I mean, even the Switch Axe can chain the Double Finishing Discharge into an Upward Slash like almost nothing by simply pressing X).
It seems you can actually charge up your brave meter even faster if you continue the spirit combo out of brave stance. Look @ 5:25 staying in brave mode is going to be easier than staying in red lol dayum. EDIT: dayum after rewatching, @ 5:05 he didn't even do brave stance just a regular spirit combo and it increased the brave meter wtf...lol
Really, adept LS already stylish like hell, then this...i'm gonna have a blast with this style. Sadly, i'll have to wait for the localized. Hopefully in 1 or 2 months and finger crossed in 2 weeks :p Just one question though, idk if i miss it but can you refill the brave meter after you go into brave mode?
Yue Yeon I've played the demo, so let me tell you. You can still refill the gauge but it's so sooooo slow that it still keeps decreasing! Even if you spam brave attacks from the brave stance, but why would you waste your time doing those attacks once you get into Brave mode? I've tried all weapons, and I've noticed that only Brave HBG allows you to stay on Brave mode all the time. But that's only because of the new OP siege mode, so if you run out of bullets for crouch-fire you'll surely not be able to stay on Brave Mode the whole time after that. lol (But of course, you can craft more bullets if you're smart. ;) )
danny lolo Do you mean ours or Gaijin's? I can't decide, it depends on the monster and my mood. It's mostly Guild, Adept and Aerial. I've never used LS Striker.
That would make sense, and with the counter in the Brave Spirit Combo Critical Juncture is slightly redundant. Though there is a new art that boosts attack but causes health loss, so I'm eager to see how that works.
it could fill your brave guage quite a bit, or just get a buff for more damage without leveling guage, or not get any buff at all and lose the guage level up.... I am guessing the first, though.
Hi Gaijin! how long is the duration of brave stance when you tap Y? can you tap Y while mid-combo? idk man, holding a button then pressing may not be for me if u consider the 3ds's button layout
Like a second, if you plan to use Brave Stance like Adept, it might work for you I guess. Yes, you can tap Y mid combo. I prefer holding (since I do it when awaiting enemy attacks) but you should be happy.
Patrick Panganiban I love killing My foes like how they do in anime with the last move. So cool. My favorite is to adept and finish they off with the last swing up as they are flying away or toward me. Another is was I do my round slash if they charge at me but to make it more dramatic I will kinda stall before I kill them haha Ls loves to kill in style
Puggernaut TrillTraks You know it! :D But man, now you can cut fireballs in half with the longsword because of the counter. xD If you like looking like a badass with your LS, I think you're gonna love Brave style. Cause I sure love my Brave LS!
Ouma Shu GAMER Not sure if this will answer your question, but there are specific quests that give you EX Tickets for certain monsters. Most (if not all) of them are unlocked by chaining villagers' requests, so you might want to look that up.
Adapt LS was top tier but brave LS killed it I has a longer counter time then adapt and guard point that LS always need since I seen the full counter hunter art and the speed of the R combo so gud
Sky ark Knight Nah, Striker was the best. And it just miiight still be because of the badass Hunter Arts, but Brave LS is also too OP in it's own way. lol While Adept LS is way slower imo, not the best option if you're gonna play aggressively and do a lot of damage. When it comes to DPS, Striker LS is the way to go. :)
Sorry i didnt explain properly, i meant glavenus 1 - 2 combo tailswipe. Just like adept guard, it will fail to block the second swipe. If it can, then that will be too OP.
True, Plus there's the new hunting art for the Long sword. How about Guild? Is Guild at least going to get a tiny buff to it or something since all their'snow two new styles? I don't want Guild to be left out, you know?
Not really. It's a better choice than adept on some weapons, just like every other style. But DB and Bow are still better off with Adept, brave Lance and Hammer are kind of lackluster too.
***** Thank you. What I forgot to point out is that Brave style feels a lot different than Adept too. Adept-dodging feels like you accomplished something, you get a nice opportunity for powerful counterplay, whereas Brave-dodging gives you chip damage and sheathes your weapon, which isn't always a good thing. It feel like you got away from something, rather than using it to your advantage. With all these new guard-points and demon dashes on all kinds of weapons, the bravestance should always be your last resort anyway. It's honestly not that good, and definitely not a replacement for Adeptdodges
cb user here. tried brave. it's got insane dps, but abusing brave stance to get out of shit feels cheap. not rewarding as the guard points and blocking in adept. but LS brave seems pretty cool since it has those counters. love counters
Only building brave gauge without any kind of decent combo chain is a little annoying and repetitive. Yeah it looks powerful and the overhead crescent slash is MUCH faster but the build up of brave mode leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I think I'll be sticking with adept.
Hunt how you wanna hunt. The point in monster hunter. I feel like the problem with people wanting nerfs is because other hunters don't wanna feel insignificant since they are using a weaker weapon/hunting style. Honestly the point of the game is hunt how you want. It's not a competition. If monster hunter became a competition then OOOOH Dear how the meta would change.
Whats the risk reward of holding Y? It seems the monsters don't really do damage when they hit you in that stance, sure you lose a bit of health and stamina but that will always be better than taking a hit from a monster. I'm worried brave will just be as much of a cheese style as adept but over a larger amount of time per hunt. Speaking of adept I really hope they've shortened the window for dodges. Though I doubt it.
Running low/out of stamina. You are forced into a fatigued animation when you run out and with lower stamina if you are inefficient at using the Brave Stance, you might be unable to move or use skills to kill or stay alive. More notably, Brave Stance only avoids attacks from the front of your character. No idea if Adept is getting a nerf but it doesn't care.
There really isn't any risk, you get chip damage and possibly lose some stamina. But there isn't any real reward either, you get a tiny piece of Brave charge and sheathe your weapon, and for some weapon types that's actually a disadvantage as it hinders your counterplay-options.
Sure, I can see how it could hinder your play. Taking chip damage instead of full blown damage (especially in Grank) seems like a huge reward though. That cuts down on healing time and lets you stay in the fight more, because surely you can hold Y take the hit and press X and you haven't sheathed your weapon, right? I obviously cant say for sure I never used it. I'm just sceptical because people said adept is for pro players and its probably the cheapest style. And obviously its a game its supposed to be fun so why have reservations about a fun mechanic.
Hugh O'Rourke adept is for pro players? Who says that lol Adept and absolute evade are much more forgiving, and counterplaying is much more easy. I'm currently playing the demo, and that chip damage really adds up. Like you said, the big damage is on G-Rank. And 2-3 brave evades plus one big hit should be enough to bring you into critical condition. And the urge to play aggressive and greedy because your Brave gauge is depleting is a perfect condition for that scenario
When they were promoting the games Capcom referred to Adept as a style for more skilled hunters. Gaijin Hunter even said it when he was talking about his experiences with it. I think that attitude was totally lost once the game got into everyone hands and the meta just overtook its mechanics and made it a cheese-fest. I think Brave will definitely be better than Adept so I'm glad to see a more balanced skill-based style. I hope you're having fun with it anyway. I burned myself out on Gen and probably will skip Gen2 if it comes over. Heres waiting for 5 on the switch ^^
No Spirit 4, fade-slash needs to be executed out of Brave stance, and you lose the return slash afterwards... Looks like I'll be passing on Brave Style.
This all looked great, but after 20 hours or so in XX, in practice brave is very underwhelming. The wind up time is just too long and clunky to justify Brave mode. Once you're in it, it's a blast, with high dps, but the time spent building meter is not worth it. Striker or guild both still outperform brave for long sword.
brian frescas I've only played the demo, but didn't buy the actual game yet cause I'm waiting for the western release. However, I found out that there's a good combo for building up your Brave gauge with LS, but to be honest I don't think you're wrong. Striker does still seem to be absolutely OP for the longsword, especially since longsword arguably has the best Hunter Arts. But I personally want the brave style for LS mostly because of how stylish and badass it is. xD Monster Hunter is all about having fun after all! Just as long as you don't suck and doublecart or tripplecart on your teammates, but also do a good amount of DPS.
I found LS brave cancel > counter even more OP than adept > counter, you literally attack the enemy non stop.
How to parry?
@@vladimirhdg1511 press R when in Valor mode, and when you have enough red in the gauge
If you use critical juncture with brave style, you'll get double counter like a BOSS.. 😎😎
Joti Reinaldi Wonderful point
I think that for those of us who might not be good in confirming those final hits to get to the red gauge, brave LS can be a great way for those of us so that we just focus on the fight and get the blue edge instead.

Two Brave Gunlancers. Two Brave Longsword users. Let the tripping begin. But both look like so much fun ♪
GH: "oh look, it's tired already."
Me: "TIRED OF LIVING!"
That Pokke rearrange is so soothing...
Finally! I'll be able to take a longsword and not trip everyone!
To be honest, the long sword is one of the coolest weapons in my opinion, but got a tad old between styles, just the same stress about keeping the gauge red, you go at it in different ways, but in the end every style is just...
"KEEP RED! KEEP RED! YELLOW...NOOOOOO!!!"
This looks like a unique twist on it that really mixes things up.
I'm starting to say Brave is my favorite weapon now! LOL! All the brave styles are looking appealing to me, even weapons that I don't normally like.
#MHXXForTheWest
WE FINALLY GOT ITTTTT
@@HaHa-gg9dl ᵒʷᵒ
I just wish they had ported it sooner.
It was too close to MHWs release and sorta got drowned out.
Brave LS looks fun. Dunno if I'll like it more then Adept, but we will see.
Just getting home from work to see this! You are my hero!
Brave style (even though it’s been announced valor) is easily going to become my favorite
I will probably murder everything I hunt with great efficiency and feel like Kishou Arima to boot.
*This comment is subject to change pending motion values.
I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED!
Edit: I just noticed the Spirit Combo attacks built up some of the Brave Gauge.
i can already see lobbys full of gunlances and long swords
trips and knockback for days.....the poor lancers..
Jarsmash Gaming for the monster that is huehuehue
Aerial gunlance is great for normal shot but long shot and wide shot i feel are best used with adept thanks to that extra dmg on the counter atacks
well your predict not true .Overused weapon now is GS ,DB and CB. You'll rarely see GL
Thats because its a slow weapon at least when it is drawed however a good gunlancer can deal some serious dmg with brave and the right hunting arts and i know for a fact ill be using brave GL and brave HBG them sleep runs are going to be 👌(also only true pros use evade GL/Lance screw guard +2)

Do we need it? That new spirit combo seems powerful enough as it is...
well well well MHGU is gonna come soon so i start learn from your video now hahaha
Dunno if my LS maining roomie will hop onto this
Adept was so damned good lol
While this could be a glorified Adept style... I love it. What we lose in gauge I think we could make up for in the sheer constant ability to utilize the counter versus an evade that takes more time and might not always hit.
Might not switch in the end, but it's a damn cool option.
The LS looks promising, I may start using it again as a side weapon with brave... As long as the DPS is good I think it'll be tons of fun!
You can do the bushido run attack when you do Brave Stance last minute during a hit..
calling it now if there is a skill that either extends or hastens the build up of brave mode it will be on the Mizutsune/Tamamitzune deviant
EnfuegoBeat Maybe it charges faster if you have the 'Focus' armor skill?
seppe wuyts then or bubble fox's variant will have focus
As a LS main, this looks too good now combine this with the snowbaron set and the new LS hunter art=YES!!!.

How is he doing that counter? The one @4:00 he said had high motion value in mhx? I'm so out of the lpp these days in monhun
I've been waiting for this!!!!!!!!!!!!
This might actually get me using long sword... Rarely.
blue blade damage is between yellow and red
You sounds like you're practicing saying "GaijinHunter" at the beginning really hard.
How did he make the cancel i did not understand with Spirit combo first attack ? 4:30
Basically, Spirit 1 has a guard point in Brave Style
Oh, god YES!!!!!

long sword is gonna be my main in mhxx if we get it #mhxxforthewest
Oke. Oke. yeah rip
Rosanna chan I'm all types of late but main longsword in everything
We did it fellas
How do you do that counter attack? Im just new to the game
i will probably play brave longsword but for me it won't replace adapt. the counter looks really strong and powerful and brave mode looks strong BUT no yellow or red gauge and no fade slash (which is kinda not that big of a deal. adep just gives you about as much survivabilaity and also levels up the gauge really fast
Kai Lovlin The theme around the Brave Style is not really about survivability though...
Jordan William it jus seems like while brave has a strong counter i would rather have the full white, yellow and red gauges that build up instead of one faster gauge that is in between white and yellow charge
Kai Lovlin Brave does make your combo more chainable fluidly though.

I've played the demo, so let me tell you.
You can still refill the gauge but it's so sooooo slow that it still keeps decreasing! Even if you spam brave attacks from the brave stance, but why would you waste your time doing those attacks once you get into Brave mode?
I've tried all weapons, and I've noticed that only Brave HBG allows you to stay on Brave mode all the time.

what if you use sakura slash to increase spirit lvl?
Whats you favorite style with Longs Sword ?
danny lolo Do you mean ours or Gaijin's? I can't decide, it depends on the monster and my mood. It's mostly Guild, Adept and Aerial. I've never used LS Striker.
Ours and Gaijin's
Striker. The Hunter Arts are too badass and powerful, and they make it easy to go to red.
danny lolo I'm usually between Guild and Adept style. I might start using the Brave style too.
how to do an counter attack?, what button i must press to do it?
when i press y, i always sheathing my weapon.
I wonder what happens if you use Sakura Slash using brave longsword. Just the damage and no spirit gauge up, I guess?
Turnip Just damage, so not really as useful as the other Styles. You can use Unhinged Spirit if you want.
That would make sense, and with the counter in the Brave Spirit Combo Critical Juncture is slightly redundant. Though there is a new art that boosts attack but causes health loss, so I'm eager to see how that works.
Turnip this is late but you do get white with the slash but it goes away after you get blue
LONGSWORD FOR THE WIN!!!!
Its funny how this seems more like bushido(adept) style than bushido style in the game...
How did you activate the guard point?
it's coming for the West now :)
I wounder what woukd happen when you use the sakura slash with brave mode.
Does nothing happen then?
it could fill your brave guage quite a bit, or just get a buff for more damage without leveling guage, or not get any buff at all and lose the guage level up.... I am guessing the first, though.
How do a counter strike?
Hi Gaijin! how long is the duration of brave stance when you tap Y? can you tap Y while mid-combo? idk man, holding a button then pressing may not be for me if u consider the 3ds's button layout

Sorry i didnt explain properly, i meant glavenus 1 - 2 combo tailswipe. Just like adept guard, it will fail to block the second swipe. If it can, then that will be too OP.

nope.... hellblade tailswipe
Do you mean the spin slash?
Me scared no one use thy other style like Guild and Striker, Etc.
i will still prefer Striker for LS... the LS Arts are waaaay to strong to ignore IF they stay the same in strenght.
True, Plus there's the new hunting art for the Long sword. How about Guild? Is Guild at least going to get a tiny buff to it or something since all their'snow two new styles? I don't want Guild to be left out, you know?

Well, what is better in general are buffs. I think SUper Smash Bros has that philosophy, make everyone equally awesome instead of equally shitty.
buff the puff
Whats the risk reward of holding Y?
It seems the monsters don't really do damage when they hit you in that stance, sure you lose a bit of health and stamina but that will always be better than taking a hit from a monster.
I'm worried brave will just be as much of a cheese style as adept but over a larger amount of time per hunt.
Speaking of adept I really hope they've shortened the window for dodges. Though I doubt it.
Running low/out of stamina. You are forced into a fatigued animation when you run out and with lower stamina if you are inefficient at using the Brave Stance, you might be unable to move or use skills to kill or stay alive.

Hum so you have to build your spirit gauge and your brave gauge... Meh. I'll totally pass. I hate managing 36 different bars.
whew!?!
No Spirit 4, fade-slash needs to be executed out of Brave stance, and you lose the return slash afterwards...
Looks like I'll be passing on Brave Style.

This all looked great, but after 20 hours or so in XX, in practice brave is very underwhelming. The wind up time is just too long and clunky to justify Brave mode. Once you're in it, it's a blast, with high dps, but the time spent building meter is not worth it. Striker or guild both still outperform brave for long sword.

I've only played the demo, but didn't buy the actual game yet cause I'm waiting for the western release.
However, I found out that there's a good combo for building up your Brave gauge with LS, but to be honest I don't think you're wrong. Striker does still seem to be absolutely OP for the longsword, especially since longsword arguably has the best Hunter Arts.
But I personally want the brave style for LS mostly because of how stylish and badass it is. xD Monster Hunter is all about having fun after all! Just as long as you don't suck and doublecart or tripplecart on your teammates, but also do a good amount of DPS.
