    Who needs drugs when Long Swords are just as good for tripping?

    I've put in 300 hours in MH3U and 500 in 4U, and your series of videos is the reason why I finally touched something outside of hammer. I cannot tell you how much your videos have helped me in breaking out of my hammer mindset. I've spent the past hundred hours of gametime crafting endgame lance, gunlance and charge blades because I finally "got it" after these videos. Am loving your MHX series and can't wait to jump into it! Maybe this time I won't go straight Hammerbro! That said, those damn hammer weapon arts look damn sweet.

    What else you can do with Longsword is when jumping off of a ledge you can use R twice to do two spirit combo slashes and then when landing preform the 3rd and 4th parts of the roundslash combo. You can also (if timed well) draw into a roundslash by pressing R when drawing your weapon. Lastly if you're climbing a ledge and press R you will initiate the spirit combo that way too.

    • @ryanpoulos8232

      Ryan Poulos P.S. The two roundhouse combo hits when jumping off the ledge WILL do mounting damage. Enjoy.

    It should also be worth mentioning that with the Longsword, after each input of the first 2 spirit rush attacks, you can press the X button to apply an additional standard attack that also fills up your spirit gauge without ruining your spirit rush combo, meaning if you whiff any of the first two hits, you won't lose all of your spirit gauge.

    There's so many great weapons in this game. The long sword used to be among the 2 other weapons I used before I started using the great sword almost exclusively.

  • @The1TRex1

    Thank you so much for this guide. I have played monster hunter 1 and 2, but only got this recently. Long sword is by far my favourite weapon and I never knew it could be boosted further after the spirit gauge so my hunts will be so much easier now. Amazing guide!!!

  • @FlyingGoombaGaming
    @FlyingGoombaGaming 9 років тому +15

    X-X-A-X- (X+A) R R R R is my favorite long sword combo in the game. with yellow or red spirit blade the previous hits give you enough to complete the spirit slashes. This chain is quite long though so your are going to have to successfully mount a monster to make it vulnerable long enough to complete the chain. So many times have i killed a monster with this combo

  • @dippeh92
    @dippeh92 10 років тому +20

    You forgot to mention that you can chain spirit slashes and normal hits to make a longer combo

    • @djapster

    Oh man we finally get the follow up spirit slash combo. I been playing all the oldgen games from MHG Dos and 3U. It’s so good to finally get the fade slash spirit combo follow up. It was hard to do the full combo in G-Rank monsters and really hyper aggressive monsters

  • @shinigamiPeter
    @shinigamiPeter 9 років тому

    Pretty good guide. I would like to point out an useful trick about Spirit Combo. After every Spirit Slash, with an exception of 3rd one (the one that does three slashes for one input), or after Reverse Slash, you can press X to add another attack and then continue the Spirit Combo. Those additional attacks are important, because they add to your Spirit Gauge, allowing you to preform a full Spirit Combo even if you started out slightly depleted (plus, that's always some additional damage).
    Also, you can preform Spirit Slashes in the air. Normally, you can make one Spirit Slash, and then continue with the combo after landing. But, if you are at least on White level of Spirit Gauge, you can preform two Spirit Slashes and go immdiately into third. Helps in getting those Spirit Round Slashes quickly.

    Thank you for this video. At first I didn't like the longsword (Since I didn't fully understand it) But now that I've seen the video I've crafted a longsword and have been carving everything up with that sucker especially when I get into the red longsword combo. Keep up the videos we rookie hunters love it!

  • @neonate4406
    @neonate4406 9 років тому +1

    One little thing you missed out (not a great deal, just putting it out there) is if you roll and press X, it initiates an upward slash.

    I'm still pretty early on in MH4U (just beat the S. Magala). So far I've been maining the Charge Blade. But recently I decided to try out the Long Sword a little more extensively, & I found I rather like it. I'm not sure if I like it more then the Charge Blade, but I do like it.

    How do I run and draw into spirit slash?
    I find that to be an incredible technique but I can only pull it off when I'm completely still, any work around for this?
    Also I wish you could change the button size for the fadeslash button, since at some odd times my ds doesn't read my fadeslash input correctly.

  • @MrPerson61
    @MrPerson61 9 років тому

    what I find annoying now, is that instead of the bar going down a color tier when it runs out of charge (ex. when the yellow runs out it used to return to white) but now when you run out of color, it returns to standard. Seems like a pretty heavy nerf to me.

    • @luketaylor9144
      @luketaylor9144 9 років тому

      Mr. Person Hmmm but the red tier lasts way longer than in did in MH3. I actually think this is a nice balance as before you could drop back to yellow before you had the opportunity to do any real damage. With the added fade slash you can get to red tier quicker and easier than ever before. I think this actually makes the LS a much more consistent weapon.

    • @MrPerson61
      @MrPerson61 9 років тому

      Luke Taylor Its been a while, but I think the red lasts about the same time, but maybe only a little shorter, and when you lose it, it goes to yellow, not completely away, leaving you with a pretty decent damage buff and only have to do the combo to get it back to red again, instead of the whole chain again.

    • @luketaylor9144
      @luketaylor9144 9 років тому +2

  • @JWuddha
    @JWuddha 9 років тому

    I noticed sometimes when I perform the Fade Slash, I change the direction of where i step. you may have explained it somewhere in the video but i think i might've missed it. any info on that?

    • @Itri_Vega
      @Itri_Vega 9 років тому

      +Jay Echols I may be a bit late, but you can change the direction of your slash during the attack. So, if you pressed forward during your combo, but adjusted your pad to the right by accident during the slash, the resulting slash goes to the right. The other option might be that you set a different orientation on your game options. You can set whether pressing "down" on your pad equals a backwards move from your point of view or that of the character.

    • @JWuddha
      @JWuddha 9 років тому

    I have yet to find a weapon that 'changes it's appearance' when you charge it up. Which one(s) exactly? And before someone asks, I am crowned and got over 300 hours into the game. Never seen it, ever.

    • @Fluffysbeans
      @Fluffysbeans 9 років тому

      Qasper A crap-ton of hammers and greatswords look different depending on the level of charge. Check out the fully upgraded regios hammer or the akantor GS if you want to know. Although at the moment, I can't think of any DB or LS that change off of the demon/spirit charge other than the obvious glow effects. If anyone knows of ones that change, let me know.

    • @troll5262
      @troll5262 9 років тому

      Fluffysbeans I am fully aware that Hammers and GS changes. But this video is about LS where it is mentioned, hinting that there are LS that have similar effects. Which seems like a blatant lie as evidence of it is completely absent.

    • @Fluffysbeans
      @Fluffysbeans 9 років тому

      Now I need to buy a bunch of longswords so I can find one that does. Though I doubt it some, especially since most of the info in these videos is spotty. Nothing will beat the failed lvl 3 GS charges though.

    • @Fluffysbeans
