Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate | Great Sword Tutorial 

1:36 Guild style 5:04 Strike 6:09 Aerial 8:18 Adept 10:06 Valor 13:14 Alchemy

A great tutorial for the best weapon in the game. Though of course that's just my opinion, any of the weapons with 'Great' in their name could be argued as best weapon.

Hey Arekkz, it’s worth noting that you don’t have to hold Attack and charge immediately after an adept dodge. Say the monster is further away, sprint for a bit, when your hunter starts to recover from the sprint animation, press and hold the attack and you’ll go a bit further while it charges. Helps out against certain monsters, like Nibelsnarf when it does it 2-3 dashes.

This tutorial video was much needed. Capcom should endorse these videos to make the game more accessible as a bridge for newcomers who've only played MHW.

As usual, great/informative video! Watching your weapon tutorials (especially this one) really makes me want to try out the other styles, even though I have a habit sticking to one style for most weapons. You’re doing an amazing job teaching new players from World as well as refreshing old players. Cant wait for the other weapon tutorials :)

Did I just hear "Mega Dash Juice?" That sounds amazing. Need this in World.

When the "Guild style" Sound came up... Really made me miss all of the sounds of the older games that have been missing from world and not even realizing...

The on-screen button commands in your video really helped a lot in understanding all the moves, very much looking forward to your video on other weapons! :D

Moon Breaker reminds me of Artorias's leap attack. Lol

One important thing to note about Brimstone Slash is that the super armor you get on the recovery frames for the attack can pretty easily get you killed or chunked hard if the attack you block during its wind-up time is the first hit of a multi-hit attack. Because of the super armor you won't get launched, meaning you wont get any further from the monster AND you won't get airborne i-frames. Most of the time this isn't a problem because the momentum of most multi-hit monster attacks tend to make them move away from your position, but it happens to me every so often when I fight monsters that like to chain leaping attacks really quickly, such as Nargacuga or Tetsucabra.

How does this video not get more likes?? Your weapon workshops are my absolute favorite. You're my go-to guy on the subject.

Something I'd recommend for any GS style is the use of Absolute Evade and/or Absolute Readiness. They may not do damage and aren't GS specific arts, but the re-positioning you can pull off with them is great.

one of the most satisfying weapon to use, that hit feels so gewd

Please keep doing these! I’m trying to teach my younger brother how to get into Monster Hunter, and these kinds of videos would be super helpful! 😄

ROCKET POWERED GREAT SWORD

Really been enjoying these videos since im coming from world to this, currently ive been runnign dual blades so im excited for that video, i've been running prowler and been having an absolute blast with it.

That intro was FIRE, make me want to play this based on that legendary sword play. good on ya

Your videos get me so hype. I'm filled with determination.

Thank you for this! Great Sword is becoming my 2nd weapon after LBG. LBG will still be my main weapon but I needed an aggressive weapon/style once in awhile to get certain mats and take up some roles when I play with my friend. And also, so that I don't get sick of LBG immediately hahaha

I love this series and I can't wait till you try valor charge blade, it's one of my favorite builds in the game next to Ariel switch sword but all in all these videos really help with giving me all the tools I need to try every weapon in the game ^^ much love to you arekkz and can't wait for the next installment of GU weapon workshop ^^

I can play MHW at home and GU on my way to and from work and during breaks (single tear)life is good.

Man that armour looks good. These videos help me so much i find its difficult to transition to MHGU from MHW.

Moon Breaker does do a bit of mounting damage but I believe it's big use is that it does additional part breaking damage

I accidentally went into a hunt with a great sword after getting to 8* with just long sword and hammer and I instantly fell in love. Thank you for this tutorial on this amazing weapon

Great video! I was wondering why the greatsword felt so clunky when i was playing it and found out (from your video) that different styles actually change the moveset of the weapon.

Anther great tutorial Arekkz. I have tried aerial GS and found it highly enjoyable. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to LBG as i just got back into it. LBG actually feels better in GenU compared to world. Not control wise but damage wise i feel LBG feels more meaty.

Thank you. I’ve been playing valor for a few days and didn’t know you could charge a strike at all before the meter was full, that should help!

thanks you so much for all these tutorials !

GREAT video as always dude!

Great content bro :D It is really hard for me to adjust to MHGU because of these styles and this video really helped me to start maximizing the style I'm in. My last MH is way back on the PSP (MHP3) and it is so good to be back :D I started with Aerial but I've switched to Valor and it's a very good hunting style for me (I play very agressive most of the time). By the way, may I ask what armor parts you've used in this video. It looked very cool and I want to craft one from myself. TIA :D

Idk why I’m watching this I don’t play mhgu and I never will but I honestly like the content you put out so it’s a win for me

GS is so much fun when you learn it. Just watching the video with flinch after flinch had me on edge with excitement wanting to boot up the game.

so freaking cool and powerful, we need this back!

If anyone's coming here from world and wants try adept but is having doubts you should know after you perform the dodge you can wait to start the charge and your character can run in any direction after you perform it so if the monster moves far after you dodge you have a good 3-5 second delay of sprinting where you can wait to start the charge and cover more ground because the initial sprint you do after dodging doesn't affect the amount of time you can run after starting the charge

Even though Valor style is cool, Adept gets my favorite for style alone.

Deep into G4 with Valor GS. Been running it since the very first quest. I was a CB main in Gen/4U but Valor GS is just perfect for my play style

I plan to use mainly Great Sword and Switch Axe since the controls are much better on Nintendo Switch especially with the addition of being able to use a Pro Controller. I may even pickup on Hunting Horn and Hammer as well. Overall my favourite weapons on Generations for 3DS were Bow and Insect Glaive so I got to see if I can handle those on the Switch since they gave me a kind of a hard time due to the controls back then. My favourite Hunting Style is Adept but now I've added Valor Style to my Favourite as well. I'll use mainly Valor for Heavy Weapons (Great Sword, Switch Axe, Hunting Horn, Hammer) and Adept for Light Weapons (Bow and Insect Glaive with Great ) And Both Styles for Great Sword since it works great with both. I hope you put up weapon tutorials on all the weapons soon. I've been following Gaijin Hunter's and your gameplays and tutorials. You both are great.

Awe man! I just got this game! It's too bad you didn't finish all the weapon tutorials, no one does them as good as you do!

Holy shet. What a epic tutorial. Thanks man!

Playing mhw while watching this makes me depressed i feel like we've been robbed of these cool ass fighting styles D:

Are you gonna do a top 5 for each weapon class like you did in world? I'm looking forward to your insect glaive tutorial to see if there is anything I could improve on for me aerial style. Will you cover kinsects in the same video or a separate one?

As someone new to MH and come from World, this looks hella fun. Wish they add some of this mechanic in Iceborne expansion.

Wish you kept up with these D:

intro was really good

Car problems made me miss out on launch day. Hopefully i could pick this up tomorrow looks so good!!!

Great vid again brother infant wait to get the switch

I dont know if you have an order planned but please make a hammer tutorial next!!

Please please please please do Charge Blade next! Love your videos

The greatsword might be my favorite weapon in Monster Hunter

So far GS is one of my better choices in MHGenU. The Seregios GS with Aerial Style is by far the easiest, but aggressive playstyle. Always stay in white sharpness and always landing charge attacks one after the other.

Sad to see this series still hasn’t been finished

Adept Great sword was my favorite adept style in Gen, followed by chargeblade.

Hey Arekz, will you continue to make tutorials for the rest of the MHGU weapons? Hope so!

I wish arts and styles were in World. They just look so fun and over the top, and they add more combo variety too.

Can any one tell me which GS and what armor he is using in the Video ?

I'll try to give valor another chance since I'm pretty used to go Striker and using Lion's maw with those 2 other arts.

Ah, the feeling of starting anew with Arekkz by my side. Watched your weapon tuts when I started world a lifetime ago and now that I got a switch... well... here we go AGAIN!

Great tutorial. I had just bought MHGU on the Switch since it was on sale and my brother kept trying to tell me "Oh everyone online says to use Valor." and I gave it a try and to me, having played GS since MH on the PS2, it just felt... Wrong. Swapped to the Guild Style after seeing this and was so glad to see it "classic". I had to tell him "This is why I don't die on hunts. This is why I never died fighting a 255 Chameleos in MH4U. I didn't break away from the classic." Sure my DPS won't be as high as "Lord DicksOut the Unfathomable" doing his flip-a-dip-dips, but I won't get blindsided, I won't get carted, and I won't be a liability to the hunt.

Sword ad Shield next please! It's my favorite weapon.

I'd love to see how valor effects the switch axe and charge blade :o

What about information on things like armor skills and how they synergize with the different styles? Like, does Focus still help with Valor style at all, is Crit Draw worth it for Valor? Things like that. How about Quick Sheath? Does that help with Valor at all?

Brave greatsword has literally carried me through the game so far.

thank you

Still waiting on the other weapons :/

Um may I ask where are the rest of them

I wish we had some more styles for the weapons in world, would get Generations but i dont have a switch and dont plan too soon

It would be cool if you could change your idle, walking and sheathing animations just for style. I want to look like guts with the greatsword poses haha. Imagine if they brought styles back, but revamped. I would love a greatsword style that incorporated light hand to hand abilities (with some kind of steel knuckle or equipment for your feet like a kinsect.) Zabuza from Naruto comes to mind with how he used the weight of his sword almost as a platform to launch other attacks. It so heavy and sturdy that using it as a tool to get a bit higher or hit a bit harder with a monster fist-like thing would be cool. Of course, I would never say this should be greatsword because let's face it, it's a very outlandish idea and it would need polish to make it compelling to play but to have it as a style would be dope, I truly believe it. A half GS, half brawler style using some kind of kinsect-level equipment to enhance your punch or kicks would be amazing. The very weight and size of that sword offers so many possibilities. Or even mechanics where you alter the weight of the weapon for speed or power and the moveset is altered slightly. I doubt these ideas will be recieved well but it's alright, I think they're cool to imagine.

kinda wish there was these tutorials for all the weapons but theres only 2 longsword and greatsword if possible id love to see the rest of them

Dumb question, but can Moon breaker be used in the air? I’ve been using aerial style pretty much all the time, and I wondered if maybe it could go well with it.

What armor is he wearing? It looks amazing!

If you can make a mhgu mixed set monday

Hey what style do you use when you use greatsword?

please do one of these for the HBG

a big sword for big monsters, an icon

Just want to say that Aerial Style also bounces off of fellow players/palicoes/bombs, not just the monsters.

What's version of the theme song is the one he uses in the beginning?

Hi Arekkz Gaming what's the name of that sword you that you're using I like to farm it and is it hard to get it

why does almost every weapon and armor design seem more interesting than those of MHW

I didn't Know that gen ult had this lvl of depth to the style and combat. I though it was "oh some hunters can have a flashy dodge and some can have a weeb strike." (I guess in one sense of way, that is true.) I had no idea that there was this lvl of depth in combat styles. I feel like its the MH world iceborn argument to the best way to use the charge blade. I'll definitely look forward to these other videos and be looking forward to the day I can play this game.

For anyone who's asking for the gear, like I was, with a bit of exploration and searching here it is: Drill tusk Tetsucabra (Helm) Silverwind Narga (Others) Enjoy!

Gammoth needs to be the practice monster for every weapon in aerial style. Can we get him in the arena rather than a Great Maccao?

Can someone please explain what the way to go for GS in MHGU? Hit and run builds with crit draw etc? Or full combo builds with exploiting weaknesses etc? So utilising the full potential of GS through "full comboing" play style or "hit-and-run" play style?

Pls do Bow, dual blades or sword and shield

What armor set did u use?

Using the aerial one

What set are you using

What your armor set in this video?

Damn, I wanna go back

Is there any way to get on G rank because I'm trying to get the Legend of Zelda armor

GS is one of my main weapon for MH games.

As a world only player it's really interesting seeing the differences. No TCS or shoulder tackle seems weird tho!

Wow, I need a GS right now

Really wish they retroactively added optional damage numbers in generations ultimate Also pretty bummed they did not find a way to remove most of the in map loading screens since the switch can handle it

What is your armor wearing?

What’s the weapon and armor set in the thumbnail

what GS is the one you're using??????

Can u do sword and shield next please

I really wanna play this but I dunno about getting a switch to play this and maybe breath of the wild. There’s not a lot of Nintendo games that I like or wanna play

What is the background music called?

I wish this stuff was in MHW. I would love the game even more than I do now.
