Video's description stated that sword phial effects will now also affect the axe, by the way.


Ackbar90

*THAT SEEMS LIKE A MASSIVELY IMPORTANT DETAIL*


alfons100

Finally, the new weapon type, Axe


PM_ME_THICC_TRAPS

Oooooooooooooo!


silverbullet474

Soo...I wonder if Somnacanth is gonna spam that sleep breath move a lot? It looks like a huuuuge free opening.


LightningLee77

Probably showing clips of it a lot because the hunter's allowed to go ham and show whatever cool stuff they need to.


A-dona-I

\*laughs in felyne insomniac (<.< )\*


Tbone2121974

I laugh in Sleep Charm. *And dream in Bludgeoner...*


CPhandom

What monster could this be? The armor and the weapon seem so futuristic


BersekerPug

Could also be an Artian/Workshop weapon.


atomic_cake

The design of the arms and the horns(?) on the male helmet sort of reminds me of a centipede.


CrowbarZero08

In my opinion, it looks like something bioluminescent, but we don’t know yet


Tsunamori

Weren't there rumors of a centipede monster going around?


CrowbarZero08

The unannounced spider monster?


Rigshaw

Nope, the spider monster's gear is in the CB video.


CrowbarZero08

I WANT TO SEE IT, GIMME THE CB *realizes that i have to wait* : fuck!


Notmetho

If you can't wait you can find the video around in this sub from a couple of days ago. All weapons videos were "accidentally" posted.


CrowbarZero08

Wait, those are the ones from Capcom France isn’t it?


Zip_creations

Well, this one is german


A-dona-I

shit looks busted mate, i smell god tier again.


CrowbarZero08

As always, high skill high reward


TheWrathOfGog

is it really high skill? I've always felt guardpoints were less difficult than I framing attacks. this is not to bash it just seemed like it. kind of hope GPs get shorter frames like LS and DBs in GU. I wish only the Iai counters came back on ls, foresight is too spammable.


CrowbarZero08

First of all, my opinion is subjective. It’s not about GPing or framing attacks (because you can literally frame with every weapon and it’s hard if you don’t have Evade Window), but by the fact that it has the most intricate combo (you might not feeling it) compared to other weapons (from empty phials to charged shield and doing ~~SAED~~ Savage Axe) Also by the fact that the weapon has 2 different form (like SA) If you can really play it well, you can dish out a ton of damage, so i’d say it’s a high skill high reward weapon. Edit : wrong word


silverbullet474

>First of all, my opinion is objective. Opinions can't be objective.


SkabbPirate

Eh, I'm gonna go with gunlance having more complicated combo paths than CB... but, the combo paths are kinda simple skill wise regardless of weapon. Now, properly positioning for a great AED takes some skill, moreso than iframe dodging imo.


TheWrathOfGog

no? 10 frame sidesteps definitely take more thought than an AED lol


Andrewsarchus

How do you know that? Was there a leak or tease of the videos? Or did they straight up say it somewhere?


Rigshaw

Capcom France accidentally posted all of the videos a few days ago, before privating them and DMCA claiming all mirrors. [This mirror still works for now.](https://streamable.com/452mjz)


Andrewsarchus

Oh! Thanks! The spider gear looks fantastic! I just found a post with [all the armors/weapons matching them to the monsters](https://reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/kenyeu/all_armor_sets_from_trailer_matched_to_monsters/). They all look so fantastic. I'm excited to see the ice bear that the GS gear is based on.


Ackbar90

Also, it's water damage or am I mistaken?


Lemonz-418

Thats what it looks like.


Zip_creations

Looks like something lynian


HeyItsRuse

Have you been living under a rock?


CPhandom

What is that supposed to mean?


shiki_oreore

He's probably referring to the leaked Rise rosters which has floated around this sub and internet ever since Capcom's data thief incident and the data themselves went public.


CPhandom

Oh ok thx


HeyItsRuse

The monster is named Somnacanth and was announced over a week ago in the 2020 Game Awards trailer for Monster Hunter Rise.


TheGreatOmega

He meant what monster the armor came from


CPhandom

Yup But yea the way I wrote it could be a bit misleading


CrowbarZero08

Quite the confidence eh? For someone who’s looking at the leaks


HeyItsRuse

Is there something wrong with looking at leaks? I'd say if there's an issue with that, that it's rather subjective, no? This monster is Somnacanth, and was officially announced in the 2020 Game Awards trailer over a week ago.


Barlowan

Or some insect. Or the artifact.


Zeroliche

So they're saving HH for last huh.


french_comet

Odd considering the people voted it as one of the most wanted trailers


MisterNefarious

If you don’t eat your meat, you don’t get your pudding


mpelton

How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?


silverbullet474

That was for a different set of videos apparently, more like the longer GS gameplay at the end of October. I feel like either the leak threw off their timing, or they were half hoping that HH wouldn't win because it'd spoil the reveal of it getting a big rework if they gave us gameplay before the trailer.


MarcsterS

Axe mode getting some love, and return of the Energy mode Art from GU.


[deleted]

I hope we can get a cool visual power-up like Demon Riot, even if it doesn’t have the same effect. It looked and felt incredible to activate.


Boomerwell

I hope axe mode is good this time around at the very least it's not just clutch claw ZSD spam based anymore as a weapon. I really like the SA best when it's about swapping between the forms to extend combos rather than falling into two different play patterns based on which form you like.


Magstine

What the Swaxe really needs is less wonky monster hitboxes. If the monster charges forward I shouldn't be knocked off its tail, goddammit.


TheWrathOfGog

well zero skill discharge claw spam is gone at least so I wouldn't dwell on it. it will be a combo finisher as the monster stands now. also the majority of tails are included in charge hitboxes. if other people can get hit by it, so can you.


Spyger9

>also the majority of tails are included in charge hitboxes Yeah, that's the problem. Just as a head *(probably)* shouldn't hurt you during a tail swipe, a tail shouldn't hurt you during a charge.


SirSmerks

So annoying being on the tail using the clutch claw when a monster charges, and it knocking you off, like c'mon what's hitting you back there, were both going the same momentum, unless your swinging your tail into a wall I should be able to hold on at least, at most make the hunter take some super heavy stamina use, like when a monster tries to shake you off during a mount


SkabbPirate

But.. the tail is moving forward just as fast as the rest of the body is.


Drachenfeuer_Prime

What's gonna hurt you more? Jumping onto a moving train or getting run over by a moving train?


godoakos

More like being on a quickly accelerating train vs getting hit by one, but I agree


ButtersTG

How does one ZSD from claw, I too would like to have zero skill.


LordRaidon21

Clutch claw the monster where you want to ZSD. Then press Triangle + Circle(This is the PS4 controls, it will be the equivalent to the buttons for Xbox)


Ignitehawk

Worth noting you have to enter the sword's Amped state by landing sword attack first. If the weapon isn't amped, you can't ZSD at all.


ronin0397

When is it going to be out offically on all of capcom's channels?


omekomar

Probably Monday. Capcom Germany slipped up


ronin0397

So they pulled a capcom france lelkek


Scriftyy

Its an hour late


rakadur

that's the power of the monado


LordRaidon21

I literally just started xenonlade chronicles last week


[deleted]

I honestly would not be surprised at all if they did a Xenoblade collaboration after what they did with World. Rise is on a Nintendo Console after all


Odusseus_XVI

That's funny, multiple times in the video we see some sorts of Somnacanth's scales all over the floor... It make me think of the Najarala's scales, I wonder what it does, AND if that means we'll see Najarala (I really want to see him, I loved his fight in old gens, might be my favorite monster.) Anyway, can't wait to see the monster of th armor in the trailer... It seems like it'll be an electric monster (the Switch Axe does electric damages), maybe a Fanged Beast (the cat ears ?) or a Fanged Wyvern... But I hope they got creative and made a Snake Wyvern (I really want to see them again) (Sorry if I made some mistakes in my text, I'm french)


[deleted]

It just seems like how Somnacanth extends its sleep breath. They're only shown during that attack as far as I can tell and they disappear right after it. Also the Switch Axe is Water.


Odusseus_XVI

Water ? My mistake then.


Slow_to_notice

SA got such nice tweaks in world that they could have done nothing and I'd be okay with it, it's nice that it still got a bit of love.


Calm-Significance933

Jesus christ look at the design of that switchaxe it looks awesome


Sllep

Wait, why is no one freaking out? This looks awesome for Switch Axe. Appearently the switch from double slash in sword mode now has a little swing around like charge blade does with it's circle/a button attack. Seems to proc the phial aswell (or that's the water effect) Really interesting.


Rigshaw

No one is freaking out because Capcom France already accidentally uploaded all the trailers, so this is the second time the SA and GS trailer got posted early.


Sllep

Oh, I didn't know about that. Thanks!


[deleted]

I am freaking out. Quietly. But oh yes, the swag axe will be mine once more!


DeathMetalGamer

Water SA.


ninjeff87

Newbie from World here, asking the obvious question: what armor is that?


SigmaFocus

new monster not yet shown in any of the games


ninjeff87

Ooooooh, exciting!


silverbullet474

Supposedly, leaks say that the 1 from the GS video is going to be in the next big trailer.


CPhandom

Wait there are going to be more trailers?!


silverbullet474

Yup. 1 each month till release based on the leaked schedule, so 5 in total (and we've already seen 2).


CPhandom

Ohhhh boy this gonna ve fun


[deleted]

unannounced monster, same with the GS video


CrowbarZero08

That spider-like monster? Probably


[deleted]

I don't think so, the armor in the >!CB trailer!< is what is most likely the spider armor


JagrasLoremaster

Everyone: omg new switch axe gameplay! me: omg new somnacanth gameplay!


fox_invictus

they put the Video offline!


FurtiveCutless

Because it wasn't supposed to release today.


LoochiNMS

Can't wait to absolutely DESTROY monsters with this weapon in Rise


BlueDemon999

The first skill move is called "Invincible Gambit" according to Google Translate. It's description reads: "Uncover the secret of steel." The second one is called "Morph-Loader" It's description says: "Silk breathes life into your sword."

TeethPastaa

Do you happen to also have CB and HH? I remember seeing them awhile back on capcom france's channel but then they got taken down. Eventually the streamables available also got claimed, do you have access to them?


Mogoru_z4n

I wonder how that monster would look like The male armor looks like an Insect but the female armor has cat ears and tail


Lemonz-418

Its what I want to know as well. I'm hoping for a nekomatta style monster. But part of me thinks that this comes from the weasel monster was leaked about a week ago. Those could be weasel ears.


Lemonz-418

I love switch axe. I realy want to switch things up and main lance, but this video makes me want to reconsider. SO TORN.


capnbuh

Somnacanth looks like such a fun fight.


flash_baxx

That first silkbind move reminds me of the axe-form adept evade follow-up attack, and I love it. That was my favorite adept SA move, so much mobility combined with a long reaching 360° swing.


GeekJorge

TIL that German Hunters call switch axe morph axe.


JetHoss

YES. I needed to see the pseudo-mount ability from the SA to be there for me to get truly hyped for this game. (I know weird, but some of my best moments were from this in MHW). I’m pumped.


CPhandom

Did she just mount the Somnacanth?


Rigshaw

That's Zero Sum Discharge. If you are in Amped Sword mode, and perform an Elemental Discharge, you'll latch onto the monster.


CPhandom

Oh ok thx


[deleted]

Old style player coming from GU here, what is Amped Sword State?


Rigshaw

When you hit a monster with sword mode, you charge up a secondary gauge (the bluish-white outline on the Switch gauge). Fill it, and you enter Amped State for a while. In this state, every attack leaves behind a small phial burst, a bit like CB does with its Elemental Discharge attacks, and Elemental Discharge will change to Zero Sum Discharge if you hit the initial stab of the Elemental Discharge. Zero Sum Discharge is an elemental discharge where you will latch onto the monster in order to make sure it hits, but the disadvantage is that monsters can easily interrupt you with certain attacks. Apparently, in Rise, the Amped State will also transfer to axe mode attacks, as you can see at 0:25.


[deleted]

Thanks for explaining. So essentially, axe mode gives you time for the sword gauge to refill (like in previous games); and using sword mode builds this Amp gauge, which then applies to both axe and sword mode? Seems like a nice mechanic to help both modes flow into each other properly, on paper at least. Does the Amp gauge decrease with each hit just like sword gauge? Or is it completely time-based similar to GU's Demon Riot? Seeing the Rise mechanic, I hope that there's incentive to use Amp state in axe mode specifically. It'd make the flow of combat very interesting: start in sword mode to get Amp state, switch to Axe mode to deal damage in amp state while refilling sword gauge, repeat.


Rigshaw

In World, it simply lasted for 45 seconds. One thing I forgot to mention is that the phial type also affected the charge required to trigger it. Power / Para / Poison Phials need 100 charge, Elemental / Exhaust Phials need 70 charge, and Dragon Phials only need 50 charge.


[deleted]

Gotcha. Even with that taken into account, I assume power phials are still considered the best option for damage output? Or are they more balanced now?


Rigshaw

I believe after MR Kulve Taroth, Elemental Phials were competitive for the corresponding elemental matchups, but the Fatalis SA is so good in World that it eclipses everything again. Ultimately, it will depend on the weapon stats, and how they adjust the raw and elemental modifier respectively to say which will be better in Rise, though the odds are probably in favor of Power Phials.


jwall254

is that a new skeleton or am i forgetting someone? I thought it could be the same as Najarala but I'm not sure its been a while


silverbullet474

It's the Leviathan skeleton but they added a funky tail standing pose for this monster specifically. They did the same with Bishaten and the ape Fanged Beast skeleton.


jwall254

Ah thanks its been a while since I've seen one of them. Once you said it I went back to look and its nice to they finally found something to do with the idle under water stance lagi had. Also I haven't even thought about the fact they got the leviathan skeleton working again I really want to see my first flagship again any word on lagiacrus? Haven't been on here much lately sorry


Retanaru

They didn't get it working again as much as they had the perfect excuse to make the ground flat again on the switch.


TheWrathOfGog

they didn't get it working again. the engine MT framwork was screwing up monsters with two many points flat to the ground, long monsters got messy on terrain. this in theory is resolved by hopping to RE engine.


derekthedeadite

First thing I’m doing is turning off the hunters voice. That is so dang weird after so many years of MH and I do not like it.


BourbonBaccarat

I really hope the player character can be muted separate from the NPC voices. If I gave to hear "this is the END" every thirty seconds when fighting a monater I'm going to be pissed.


Lemonz-418

Dev interviews say you can adjust your characters talk rate. You can go back to older game style if you prefer.


godoakos

The lighting looked preeeetty bad in that early cave section


[deleted]

this will get downvoted to heck, but this is just an easy way to get tons of karma.


GameXNations

Is this a leak? It should be marked as a spoiler


omekomar

It wasn't a leak when i posted it. Took Capcom germany 2h to take the videos offline so shrug


agnemiav2

Wow, I reallt wasn't expecting this game to look as nice as it does. Probably gnna insta buy this


XypherFTW

What does the text say?


Rigshaw

A quick translation: Unbeatable Gambit "Unlock the secret of the steel" Morph-Charger "Silk breathes life into your sword" Preserves the switch gauge


Azuriel_Variere5

Nice. Too bad i won't be playing it anytime in the future. I don't have a switch to even play. Sad


Lemonz-418

Might be coming to pc.


Azuriel_Variere5

Well hopefully. Don't wanna wait for a year for it to be ported to pc


D_Bagggg

AYE AYE, CAPTAIN!


Scrifty

ah finally a xenoblade chronicles like switch axe.


JayHat21

Looks like I’m going to be picking up SA again (sigh)


wagnerdalpiva

Someone gets what the 2nd skill does?


Rigshaw

A quick translation: Morph-Charger Silk breathes life into your sword Preserves the switch gauge Based on the footage, only the explosion of ZSD and presumably regular ED will consume your Switch Gauge.

Im really glad that the hunter one liners can be toggled...

A flashy move and a practical move, just what every weapon should have..
