Wilds nerfed the Sword and Shield WAY too hard - Rey Dau SnS solo and new moves showcase

I pretty much explain it all in the video. If you don't main SnS, don't act like you know. If you do main SnS, you probably already know what I mean if you've played the beta. The Wilds SnS feels so unbelievably bad compared to the World and Rise versions. I'll most likely make a video explaining all the nerfs and ways that Capcom could make this weapon great again. It's really sad to see how unbelievably glazed Long Sword is, and they can't even put 10% of that same effort towards making SnS feel good.
I should reiterate that this is NOT a speedrun, this is simply a hunt where I show off all the new mechanics that the SnS has in a hunt vs Rey Dau to show off their application in a real fight. For a lot of people, just seeing someone hit the barrel isn't enough. Feel free to use this footage in any you plan on making.

I completely agree

but it's the beta, im sure they will rebalance like they literally always do.

Literally always? World's SnS was criminally weak compared to other weapons and was given a move that was way too broken in IB to compensate, so broken that people stopped playing "SnS" and just played Perfect Rush.weapon. Rise's SnS was better overall... and then Sunbreak rolled around and the SnS just became Metsu spam. I don't know how it was in previous generations because I didn't play those but Capcom literally has a history of creating incredibly binary SnS playstyle where you basically spam one move and if you're not doing that, you're playing suboptimally. Soloing Alatreon without PR spamming was literally unbearable because the SnS damage is so insanely bad without it. Let's be real, Capcom's "fix" for the SnS has always been to make one move in its kit too strong and then players have to decide whether to use a worse weapon for the entire game, learn a lame playstyle that only uses 1 move or just play a better weapon with a more fully defined kit like the Long Sword. World's Long Sword literally has the most fully fleshed out kit where every move has its use. It's clear where Capcom's priorities are bro.
Whether or not the weapon releases in a decent state is basically a coin flip.

@idkwatimdoingtbh ok.
