Monsters you're most/least looking forward to?

First topic message reminder :

Tri was my first and only MH game so I'm really looking forward to all the monsters that are going to be in mh3u.

Mostly looking forward to Bracchidios because of his new weapon ability, but the monster I'm most looking forward to actually fighting would have to be Aoashira. Because y'know, he's a bear.

As for not looking forward to, it would have to be plesioth. I heard they were way hard, but now it's also underwater... /no/

It's the weirdest thing, when I first unlocked agna offline I killed him no problem, only got hit once or twice, but now that im HR 200+ he suddenly just rips me to shreds and i cant figure it out since I used to be so damn good at fighting him.

Mostly, subspecies and a whole lot more in terms of species! Yay!

Least of all? That asshat of a leviathan Arcnaktor. Seriously, he is a big enough pain on fire. Can you imagine the arena quests? "Frozen Flame Snakes!" "Blazing Cold Leviathans!"

Because of that one typo (I'm assuming that's a typo), I'm going to forever call Agnaktor, "Arsenaktor!"

No, it's a portmanteau of Arctic and Agnaktor which adds up to Arcnaktor. But by all means, call him whatever you wish.

Oh yeah, and also? G RANK IRON URAGAAN EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Metal Uragaan,
Bouncing blades: The game

Sounds like a job for bowguns & Mind's Eye. I never had a lot of success with switch axe on Urugaan... too tall, turns so fast, fickle attention span (won't maul single players, tends to spread attention evenly), uber slow sheath + huge hitbox = ow. I think it's easier to switch axe Barioth than Urugaan.

Eh, Great Inceadeus is one of like three weapons I use on Uragaan just because of the sword modes' natural ESP. Makes tail cutting...bearable.

*Get's ESP* I lost the game. (assuming that whoever bounces the most wins)

What i look forward to most is fighting that darn Plesioth underwater, it can no longer hide :3

YES, it is no longer safe in the water!

It's chin hitzones skyrocket the moment the chin breaks. The moment the chin breaks it becomes a 60 hitzone from everything lol

I'm not really looking forward to fighting the Ursuris. A giant, white rabbit just doesn't seem like much of a danger...

My favorite monster right now would be the stygian Zinogre. It just looks so darn badass!^^

Truth of the matter. I am eager to face them all.
These are some monsters i've never faced because I originally started on Tri. So this is a big step forward for me. And I can't wait to put my skills to the test and work my way to top. :3

It's the journey that is the real fun. Not the destination.

Even though Ragu is a pretty low-tier monster, I really love the look and feel of it. Its equipment looks cool to me, too. The new Ceadeus equipment is a close second, though!

Not looking forward to fighting Jhen Moran again, lol.

Epic ball spin!

the mh3 monsters ... but i'd like also some monster from mhFU like akantor,teostra,gravios....
Oh and of course metal uragaan

Well, personally, I'd quite like to fight all of them. Then I'll decide which ones I hate.

I'm putting bets on plesioth being quite nasty. I'm also quite bad against rathalos, so I imagine both of his subspecies will cause me a hell of a lot of trouble. Although strangely, I never really had much trouble with rathian.

I suppose all I can do now is wait for the game to come out...

Well if its anything like monster hunter Tri in terms of progression, I will probably suggest politely that Barroth can go to hell. That is to say I solely used switch axes (I mean while I did mess around with LS and bowgun, I never used them for farming) and yeah, I only had the bone axe when fighting him.

Did I mention I ended up farming him for materials for his switch axe? Yeah. With the bone axe.
I hope I can get a gunlance with green sharpness before fighting him here. ughhh.

Barroth is a colossal pain, but there is a silver lining-he forced me to use a lance, something I've not regretted since.

The secret is to make sure your team has a mix of water and fire elements. He goes down pretty fast that way.

Then an ice and fire dualsword should make a mess out of him, correct?

/yes/

Agnaktor dualsword perhaps? I would like that.

Oh yeah, and Moonlight Nargacuga? F that S right up the A. I'll stick to my nice and visible Jungle Nargacuga, thankyouverymuch.

I'm pretty sure that the monster targeting feature will make the cloaking ability completely obsolete.

Depends... It only targets behind the monster when you click on it and does not stayed locked on... So unless you are constantly using the lock on, which will also leave you open for attacks, the cloaking will still have some effect...

So while it may help some I don't see the targetting feature making the cloaking "completely" useless... One thing I do see though is that using the targeting button will be more difficult for those who use the SPP also... So speaking on the targetting feature I think it will offer an advantage to those who chose not to use the SPP on the 3DS on battles such as the Moonlight Marga...

Yes, turning to an invisible monster that you still don't know what the hell it is doing is going to rend him reeeaaally obsolete.

Completely invisible, unlike Chameleos.
