  • @GogTheCaveman
    @GogTheCaveman Місяць тому +102

    Big analysis from a swaxe main:
    0:05 - You can see a glow on the axe head here if you pause at the right time, most likely the "heat" buff from the extended wild swings finisher they're doing (presumably they did a few takes and this is from a previous take). Hopefully it's the one from Rise that gives you faster sword meter and not the one from World/Iceborne, or just something totally new. It's also possible that it's the Rise mechanic that gave you phial effects in axe mode if you had full sword meter, although that one was more pronounced.
    0:14 - Overhead swing opener is faster like in Rise. Animations also look a little more crisp as the axe really digs into the ground and stops dead.
    0:16 - A new version of rising slash that hits twice, looks sick. Probably chains back into overhead slash. Possibly only available as a combo finisher from the basic hit chain, you might still be able to get the old rising slash, or a single-hit version of this one, using the old two-button input.
    0:20 - Sword overhead slash opener seems to also be faster like Rise. It's not clear how much forward movement it has though.
    0:21 - The hunter does a small sidestep here that's new, could indicate that there are multiple versions of the sword combo that allow you to step as you swing. A lot of weapons seem to be incorporating this kind of mechanic.
    0:33 - This looks like a proper Element Discharge but with an instant detonation. It's possible this will lead to ZSD if you have full meter.
    0:35 - A new counter, activated from neutral in sword mode. This is total speculation, but maybe this is a new property of morphs? It might also build back some sword gauge since a lot of counters seem to interact with weapon resources.
    0:37 - The camera and the character running makes it seem like this is the follow-up for that greatsword uppercut mechanic where you hit the monster as it hits you and send it flying, so not really part of the regular kit.
    0:40 - What the HECK is this? We have like 3 seconds of footage to go off of but here's my speculation:
    First off, the sword is glowing bright red, which means this is probably at max sword gauge. We also see phial discharges, which lines up with this. The footage seems to show an initial activation (red particle effect and a sound cue) and two subsequent hits, and from the motion of the hunter at the end, it looks like they're going for another (maybe got cut because it whiffed). It seems like the third hit includes a morph as the glow disappears.
    Based on the "activation" at the start, the general motion of the attack, the glow and phial discharges, and the possible morph at the end, I THINK this is a powered-up Heavenward Flurry (the attack at 0:25) that becomes available at max sword meter, chained into a regular morph slash. This means we might see a new moveset for sword mode when it's powered up, similar to what Longsword gets. If that's the case, it probably at the very least changes the circle-button attacks, and it might also change the triangle-button attacks, and maybe even the morph attacks. Again, all speculation, but this attack being Heavenward Flurry seems like the most likely possibility.
    Now for the stuff we don't see:
    - Zero sum or compressed finishing discharge
    - ANY of the existing morph attacks (most importantly, the double-hit ones from Rise)
    - Meter / gauge mechanics
    - Mashing
    - Attacks at full sword meter (possibly)
    - Fade slash or forward slash
    - Dodge canceling Wild Swings
    - The only dodge is an axe back-roll at 0:19 (swaxe has some of the best dodges in the game, so they are hopefully unchanged)
    - Drawing into sword mode
    Overall, not much to go off of, but I'm still excited to see what it looks like when we finally get our hands on it. It seems like it's mostly just gotten the universal mechanics, some style upgrades, and no big new gimmicks aside from a counter. Seems great so far.

      Rising slash being a double hit is disappointing imo. I liked how goofy it looked while also appreciating effective it was. This new version looks like it takes longer and has less reach, hopefully the old version is still available as a starter move from a stand still and this double hit version is the combo version only.

    • @superdude3457
      @superdude3457 Місяць тому +2

      Im hoping that the mounting zero sum discharge is in the game like how it is in world. I wouldnt mind if compressed zero sum discharge was also in the game in some fashion. The heat mechanic from rise would be great if it was included. Invincible gambit being included is ok I guess, I never liked that move in rise tbh. I doubt soaring wyvern blade will be included but thats ok, the new focus move attacks look amazing.

      I'm a little worried that they didn't show morph attacks from neutral, I'm really hoping you can do that.
      The fact that they didn't mention Amping/Sword Gauge/Power Axe at all seems a little strange considering weapons like Charge Blade and Longsword have their Gauges showcased. Makes me think there might have been a big rework.
      This showcase is such a tease! It's giving us more questions than answers.

    I see we have a Counter again, thank you CapGOD; it looks pretty similar to the Sunbreak one but instead of intercepting an enemy attack it seems more like a reactive counter to getting hit in some kind of stance. Also, loving the flippy combo at the end there. I don't recognise this armor, so another new monster tease. Judging by what looks like mandibles on the Swaxe, it's probably a Neopteron or Temnoceran. Also, very strange they didn't show off or mention the Sword or Amped gauges, which are kind of important to the weapon's functionality.

The only problem the weapon had was a lack of defensive options which Rise fixed. Both the axe and sword mode are viable so you'll never feel like you're being forced into using only 1 mode because the other is underwhelming....besides...when you full charge up the weapon you can latch on to a monster part and nuke the hell out of it.

    This is the preview I've been waiting for. They didn't give too much away, but it looks like my favorite combos are back plus that focus attack was awesome PLUS it looks like we still get a counter and that tease at the end with a new move, can't wait!
