I remember while playing MHG on my 3DS seeing some details about the new Brave style in MHXX and being hyped for whenever we would get it. Then Nintendo went and decided to start charging for online, which is a redline for me. So I went from buying a Wii-U and 2 3DSs just for MH to not getting a switch sadly.

But man has this revisit been worth it. Valor is so much damn fun, just like I had hoped all those years ago. GS was this first one that really stood out. But, now that I’ve finally given it time to breathe and learned it, Valor CB is one of the most fun weapon/style combos I’ve played in any of the games. I know striker is the meta, but I’m having too much fun to hear all that noise.

Doing the AED3 wild swing on all these old mons with their horrible shitboxes and old AI is just a damn good time. Finding myself responding to the MH BullshitTM moments now with laughter when it was extremely frustrating in the past. Just amusing to see how far things have gone in just one generation. Also fun to spot things in GU that were obvious blueprints for RiseBreak mechanics and systems.

Once I get into G rank I may see if anyone also has the Ryujinx hookup for some multiplayer.
