I picked up the lance because this is how I want to play: glued to the monster, constantly attacking, counter, repeat. It's so simple to describe but much more difficult to execute. Great job!
Agreed! Finally picked up lance in MHR with Sunbreak after vibing mostly with LBG and Bow since they helped me get a feel for how the monsters move (first monster hunter game). Lance learning was still pretty rough at first, but I'm having a blast with it now, and whenever I'm off of it I wish I was back lol
This was one of the coolest runs I've seen since Sunbreak released (and I watch a lot of speedruns). When I saw you delay at 1:52, I realised you were on another level. Awesome work.
First off, excellent damn play. Secondly, you play with the same style and switch skills I do which makes me very happy(and i assume its for the precision of it). The anxiety I felt knowing you were gonna let that health drain to 1 was unreal. All that combined and that was the most glued to a speedrun I've ever been. Big kudos/subbed/my hero. Thanks for making a fellow lancer really proud.
I barely comment on yt and never wanted to try lance on any MH series before. But your run totally mesmerized me bro. Everything was damn smooth and so perfect. The dodge and guard at 2:27 and double guard at 3:30 made me a goosebumps. Thank you for sharing such an awesome work!
It's so refreshing to see lance being played without Spiral Thrust spamming. This is what Lance should have been like since base Rise. Out of curiosity, why are you mostly using the multi-hitting poke from the back hop instead of a charged sweep whenever Rajang is flailing on the ground? Does the multi-hitting poke do more DPS overall?
It does good elemental damage, and I was having difficulty hitting his head instead of arms with the sweep at times so I decided to use mostly Leaping Thrust (or regular pokes if I needed to restore stamina).
Likely to hit weak spot. And leap poke got buffed a lot.3 poke uses only 1 sharpness, also dose 3 times damage compared to regular poke. Which used to consume 3 sharpness and did 1 regular poke damage before buff
Well done! Lance is so fun in sunbreak! The levels of elemental damage and the increased window on insta-block have helped a ton without even talking about the new moves.
The masterful understanding of your weapon, the monster's attacks, timings/button inputs. My deep dive into Rise/Sunbreak is gonna be hundreds of hours and dozens of builds.
I just got back into Rise on PC after initially playing it on Switch. Just bought Sunbreak once I got far enough again too. I feel you about the deep dive. I want to play every weapon lol.
God this is super cool, great job. I love the multiple instablocks into the anchor rage on his spinny charge attack. Love watching Lance runs without spiral thrust
Smooth as silk, great run! I actually learned a lot from how you handle the multi hit charge of Rajang. Personally have a lot of trouble with moves like that
Thanks for the gameplay, im feeling clunky those days and losing faith in my lance because of how stiff i feel when multi carting for no reason. I appreciate to see some lance gameplay lkke this !
i start watching your video when im playing mhw,i love your ig playstyle and i know SB lance is fun,hopefully one day i still can watch your ig in SB.sorry for my poor english😂
Awesome run! I really have to go back to Guard dash after messing with shield tackle, looks crazy good with elemental lances. Unrelated to the run, but do the 3 hits from Leaping Thrust each count separately toward bonuses of the type "after 5 hits" like Chain Crit or the Daora rampage deco?
@@ZebraQuake Great run. May I ask how are you doing back step straight into leaping thrust? I have to shield tackle before being able to leaping thrust. If you could explain that would be extremely helpful.
At the end of an attack, do a backwards guard dash by holding guard then press X while holding back on the left control stick, then press A to do a leaping thrust, then you can guard dash backwards again and repeat. (The buttons I mentioned are the Switch controller layout)
Nice run. Is this Tool Assisted? Was just wondering because of the thumbnail, not sure what TA Wiki Rules would mean otherwise. Good run either way though.
Can I ask why you don't use the charged-up slap attack with the lance when the monster is downed? If I recall correctly, it's supposed to deal more dmg than the leaping thrust (though it is one of your most damaging moves).
I really dislike regular Rajang. It has no breaks or recovery between its attacks so you spend the entire time just avoiding attacks with no real chance to get any satisfying payoff.
Hey, I think I found a way you can improve this time: if you use skyward thrust when Rajang stands up to power up (not when the arms turn red though) you get a full damage skyward thrust, which is hella powerful.
I wonder which would be better. Guard Advance which covers more distance and has Leaping Thrust but uses stamina or Shield Tackle which uses no stamina but keeps up the offense.
Are Guard and Guard Up useful for you? I haven't seen them in your builds, and I thought you needed them to block certain attacks without getting knocked back too hard.
Guard Up wouldn't be that helpful here because the chip damage would kill me anyway due to Dereliction. As for Guard, there are definitely times where you need higher levels of it to help with Guard Dash/Spiral Thrust even in a speedrun, but I chose to rely on Insta-block for those moves entirely instead this time. In a non-speedrun setting, I would use at least Guard 3 and Guard Up for comfort.
Is Guard Dash better than Shield Tackle? I never saw you using Shield Tackle in your videos. Yet all people are saying that Guard Dash is prefferable over Shield Tackle on every build.
The reason why MANY use Shied Tackle is simply the ease of using it to target a better hitzone. The MAJOR reason why Guard Tackle is better in terms of true value is PURELY Elemental based. If you're using Raw Lance to learn a monster, Shield Tackle. When you are grinding it with an element, Guard Tackle. When you're speed running, it 100% depends on HOW you're going to pinpoint a hit zone and go nuts.
Amazing and nerve-wracking run! Been struggling to play Parry Lance against all these multihitting moves monsters have, so watching several of your videos has been incredibly motivating :) Something I'm curious about though is why you didn't run Dango Adrenaline if you were planning to stay at 1hp without Storge Helm. Does Lv1 Adrenaline just not provide a sufficient buff after sacrificing it to boost the other dango? I figure anything is better than Defender lmao
I'm playing according to the TA wiki rules, which forbids the use of Heroics/Adrenaline (due to how ridiculously powerful it is). The time could be significantly faster with it, but it also wouldn't be representative of "normal" gameplay taken to its limits (people don't play with Heroics outside of speedruns).
@@ZebraQuake Ahhh, fair enough! I guess you could probably also find value in Dango Fighter instead or something, if you spend a lot of stamina repositioning with steps and guard dashes. Thanks for the clarification!
I have to ask because i’m curious about it but I noticed when you sharpened you used a whetfish and not a whetstone, is using the whetstone not allowed in the rules or is there some advantage to using the whetfish over it?

As an SnS main, I’ve always thought about giving the lance a try. This wasn’t a fight, it was a God damn execution. Well done!
Do it, you'll fall in love with how in control you feel when lancing
Ya i'm a gunlance and sns main and for the first time in a while lance actually look really fucking cool
Tried Lance after maining Swaxe in MHW. It's really refreshing somehow, just tanking almost every incoming attack instead of dodging.
I picked up the lance because this is how I want to play: glued to the monster, constantly attacking, counter, repeat. It's so simple to describe but much more difficult to execute. Great job!
as did i, then i fought a nargacuga and just stood there limply holding my shaft as he flew around the map leaper everywhere.

@@Jitszu Lance is my crutch whenever i am having trouble clearing a hunt (and has been a for a few MH iterations). It never fails to deliver ^^
You just have the ability to make lance run looks mesmerizing and fun, great job as always Zebra! that Monke can't even put a dent in your health!

(It also conserves sharpness as all three hits count as 1 sharpness knock.)

Thanks capcom add all Lance motion damage expect Spiral Thurst
Yeah, I hope spiral thrust doesn't make a return in the next MH game. Really made lance into something it shouldn't be

OMG 🤣 Positioning, build-up, everything is perfect.
This is art
Furious Rajang? I sleep
Running out of stamina? REAL SHIT
Smooth as silk, great run!
I actually learned a lot from how you handle the multi hit charge of Rajang. Personally have a lot of trouble with moves like that
Excellent Lance play! Learned a new way to poke the monke from this so thanks!
Love it. Great run. Your stamina usage/conservation is impressive here. My eyes were glued to the stamina bar for a while there towards the end.
One or m'y favorite runs in Sunbreak so far, you sure did put in the work on that run, now i want them to add Hellblade in Sunbreak in August 😆
Hats off sir. As a lance main, I can barely handle the skill you've displayed haha. So simple yet so destructive, I learned a lot. thanks my man.
First lance speedrun I’ve seen and it look so fresh
Oh my god, thank you for showing me that we can do other things than spiral thrust haha, great run!
Thanks for the gameplay, im feeling clunky those days and losing faith in my lance because of how stiff i feel when multi carting for no reason. I appreciate to see some lance gameplay lkke this !
Interesting way to approach the matchup and another great run !
I havnt played lance since MHFU and now you’re making me reconsider.
great job man, love the content and this was amazing to watch
Jesus Christ this is some legendary gameplay. This is how lance is supposed to be played. Actually insane skills
That was amazing Zebra senpai!
just reached 1.5k uses and this makes me wanna practice even more, exceptional lancing!
reached my 1k uses, still got hit alot... im noob...
I ve learned some new stuff here thx mate
a very clean run 👍
i love the shark lance, so much underrated
Really happy to have a lance video with music from SSH (FF6 Decisive Battle arranged by SSH). I do love both.
Love these speedruns
Ngl, those numbers from Leaping Thrust is actually pretty insane
DUDE THAT IS SO AQESOME BEEN WATCHING YOUR RECENT VIDS RECENTLY AND THEY ARE ALL AMAZING! ALSO THE MUSIC IS FIIIIIIIRRRREEEE!! 💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Like a dance. This is impeccable
Back hop stabby stabby looks very funny
2:19 is peak Lance play.
This was honestly flawless wow!
Nice run 👍
You certainly know your way around a pointy stick
That's where the dragonator went
I’m a long sword main that has recently picked up with the Lance your flow is incredible
Lance speedruns are just something else
Curious if you’re going to make the best elemental lance builds video anytime soon
I would love to use some of your builds! :)
What a nice run and nice music!
Gave a like for the final fantasy music and Lance game play. Gave a comment for the algorithm lol
I think you might be the best lance player i've ever seen :0
Lance and Greatsword runs against Rajang are the two times that I actually feel bad for that bastard XD
I live for such clean lance gameplay. ✨
This was unreasonably clean.. fugging mazaballs
Lance? This is the living dragonator if I ever see one
Awesome run!!!
Masterful work.
Nice lance gameplay!
This hunter is the guild’s final weapon
That all red Hp is making my right hand twitch haha
amazing fight!
Freaking amazing run as usual. SSH rules too
i start watching your video when im playing mhw,i love your ig playstyle and i know SB lance is fun,hopefully one day i still can watch your ig in SB.sorry for my poor english😂
Absolutely flawless 😍
Badass is not enough to describe this guy seriously
Lance plus FF6 decisive battle is fire 🔥
Amazing foot work 👌

Unrelated to the run, but do the 3 hits from Leaping Thrust each count separately toward bonuses of the type "after 5 hits" like Chain Crit or the Daora rampage deco?
Each hit of Leaping Thrust counts individually towards both, so it's very easy to have good Chain Crit uptime if using Guard Dash.
@@ZebraQuake Great run. May I ask how are you doing back step straight into leaping thrust? I have to shield tackle before being able to leaping thrust. If you could explain that would be extremely helpful.
@@sleepyrhythms6668 You can block-advance backwards with Shield Dash.
@@TornaitSuperBird Thank you!
Upvoted for the final fantasy track first, monkey poking second.
While im not a speed runner i think i learned a few new things.
Awesome playing!! This took me 24min as a casual :D
Ggs dude absolute fking clean
This is beautiful
wow that was really brutal!
How do you do the stationary combo at 3:40?
At the end of an attack, do a backwards guard dash by holding guard then press X while holding back on the left control stick, then press A to do a leaping thrust, then you can guard dash backwards again and repeat. (The buttons I mentioned are the Switch controller layout)
@@SheepyMcSheeperton Ooooo Thanks a lot!!! I've been trying out the lance lately! And this combo seems really cool! I'm gonna try that out tonight!
@@SheepyMcSheeperton THANK YOU
@@ghosty2448 No problem!
I love lance and ff6, this video is for me.
Beautiful
How do you go straight into jumping thrust right after a back step? I can only seem to do it after doing a shield tackle.
U can guard dash backwards. It's different to sheidl tackle.
This is the best lance hunt I have ever seen. I cannot stand spiral thrust.
Insanely good!
Rest in peace sharq byte
2:17
*WHEEZE*
Fcking insane, this might be close to TAS
omg zebraaa its been so long
This is how Lance should be played, in your face nonstop
Nice run. Is this Tool Assisted? Was just wondering because of the thumbnail, not sure what TA Wiki Rules would mean otherwise. Good run either way though.
2:24 crap, now hes faster than kirin.
Can I ask why you don't use the charged-up slap attack with the lance when the monster is downed? If I recall correctly, it's supposed to deal more dmg than the leaping thrust (though it is one of your most damaging moves).
What an incredible run! I have to ask, what are your thoughts on Furious Rajang compared to regular Rajang in Sunbreak?
I really dislike regular Rajang. It has no breaks or recovery between its attacks so you spend the entire time just avoiding attacks with no real chance to get any satisfying payoff.
they could explain how he makes that jump-back movement and fast 3-stroke stoke, that movement is made but I don't do it so fast... Please
Very good!! Very good!!
Hey, I think I found a way you can improve this time: if you use skyward thrust when Rajang stands up to power up (not when the arms turn red though) you get a full damage skyward thrust, which is hella powerful.
He also does the power up immediately after getting up from a topple, so you have reliable points where you can land it
yoou're a freaking beast.
I wonder which would be better. Guard Advance which covers more distance and has Leaping Thrust but uses stamina or Shield Tackle which uses no stamina but keeps up the offense.
Depends on the matchup in this case Guard Dash is more reliable and effective since you need to chase Furious Rajang alot..
Oh wow, how do you do that backstep+thrust combo???
I gotta try out the new guard advance tech it looks so cool
So the optimal way to DPS is spamming the hopping thrust and backstep and repeat?
freaking phenominal! I loved the lance till its attack speed and back step got slowed after MH tri.
