LBG losing melee makes it a huge loser

[Patren]

The CB in this demo for me was awful. Simply slow, clunky and playable in very few ways than Monster Hunter World.
Whoever worked on this monster hunter did a terrible job on this weapon, especially when you compare it to the GL.
The GL is by far a more efficient and fun CB.
At least I already know what I'll replace the CB with.

GS can now TCS 180 degree and this dude say loss.
DB got a perfect dodge and easy Demon Dance and this dude say loss.
stick with LS and don't try to act like you know the rest lmao

He was banned because he told the truth

[IppoTsuko]

very sad with all the changes they did to ig, but i'll just play lance and hh instead this time around and hope they fix that weapon sometime down the road.

Capcom is catering to Americans by making LBG and HBG top-tier.

Pretty sure LBG got nerfed twice in World and once more at the beginning of Iceborne. LBG is supposed to be a "weak" weapon, but hunters consistently show that they're way too good with it.

I played the long sword, gunlance, dual blades charged blade, and switchaxe all were fun to use. Dual blades are my favorite. With charged blade being with them in my top spots. longsword and gunlance coming up in 3rd and 4th while switchaxe is 5th didn't play the rest of the weapons cause I wasen't interested in them.

I'm debating between IG and CB but I heard CB is super complicated to master is this true?

For CB - There's a light change to get used to for how to enter savage axe mode and saed isn't able to be executed on it's own without a combo or trigger. But otherwise from the limited amount I've played on the PS5 yesterday, It will take a little bit to get used to for the new flow and best use between double charging phials (40% more damage when done) and striking weak points.

I know at least one way to get into savage axe was with a focus strike but is there another way or was that the only one?

You're on drugs, bro. CB was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fantastic. It much more fluid and axe mode has new attacks that allow you to flow from one to another, almost like SA now.

The only thing I don't like is that the SAED impact isn't as flashy and explosive as World's.

First of all moderate the terms "bro" I don't know you and you don't know me, I expressed my opinion and it's worth as much as yours.

i've played CB enough to express my opinion on this weapon in this demo, and for me it's one of the less efficient weapon after the IG with a really little ways to play this weapon in a way that can compete with the others.

The overcharging phials for me are the only interesting change that this weapon has recived, but right now this weapon has literally only 2 ways to perform her finisher and one of these way are too much situational, especially if you play with other hunters.

if you want to pull off a finishing move without a "perfect block" you have to perform the only avilable combo, and once you have the vials charged you enter the very boring loop of this combo, which offers no other valid choices other than performing the finisher. This is very long and boring loop which is also terribly easy to interrupt (or miss if in the meantime the monster has decided to move away).
In all this you do not have mobility, defense and you don't have access to any counter except with the morphing slash, which the game forces you to use only to go back to sword mode to recharge the vials to start this braindead combo again.

The guard point mechanic is still there but this mechanic has become really less usefull rn, expecially because is not enought rewarded while other weapons with a shield can do a reposte so much easily, with really less commitment and risk.
The CB users has always struggled to reach a good consistency of damage during a hunt and as is it now this weapon will be one of the lowest consistency of the game.

After many years playng the CB in this MH i will play mainly with GL because this weapon can do the same thing of th CB, but in a more varied, efficient and funny ways.

It is. But it's super fun. Worst part is charging blade and axe

[Griever]

It's my first MH game and I was trying the weapons.
Liked Sword & Shield and Charge Blade the best.
Dislike any kind of heavy weapon, it's too slow, though maybe the Hammer could be interesting.

In terms of ranged weapon I still have to try, but I felt that they were all good.

[Tommy Wiseau]

ok...

[BlueBot]

I doot, so HH always wins

[😎Astran😾]

Bow felt way better than in MHWorld. You should not use it as your first weapon or you'll never be able to switch to anything else

[Hikaru]

SnS is really good I just wish they added omnidirectional rolling midcombo. I've always disliked this and it's always going to feel bad. I don't know why they insist on it, and most weapons you won't notice because you have to stop attacking in advance, but SnS uptime causes you to have to deal with 4 way rolling the majority of the time in combat and it's really annoying.
