I too hope that the Monster Hunter team can losen that grip around their characters. Any character from that verse can work as a fighter, even the biggest beast if we were to go there. Imagine being able to play as the Deviljo in the roster (Or even Rathalos).
Playing as one of the Monsters would be a balancing nightmare.

Guess so, but what else did you expect lol?

Fun fact: There's a coded battle for Sina where she uses a team full of Ice Pokemon but for some reason it's not properly in the game.

In the Battle Tree she does only use Ice Pokemon though (when helping you).

Faba.
Sina's Moon exclusive while Dexio's Sun exclusive....similar to Mallow and Kiawe being exclusives...
At first they both battle in their respective version when they give you the Zygarde Cube then they battle you again in Post-game on Poni Island when they tell you about Mega Evolution...though I haven't battled Sina yet in Moon after beating the game...

But look on the bright side, we would have a good replacement for Sentinel so that he would live with us in spirit ammirite? :troll:

What I meant to say was that Sina has a team of ice types fully coded in the game but for some reason in her post game battle her team is different and slightly more diverse.

They changed it at the last minute for whatever reason

If Wars returns then keep it as an RTS. It's far more suitable as that. Alternatively take notes from Civilization.

Wars isn't even a RTS? And personally I don't think it would work well like that. Would make the series in to something it's not.

I would dig a Battalion Wars style game as a spin-off with the Wars World crew though. Andy, Sami, and Max would be the main characters and you would get to play as them and use different units like you do in Battalion Wars. Would be also great to have cutscenes with those three characters.

All of Street Fighter DLC season 2 will be newcomers to the series.

RIP Sakura

Did they confirm this themselves? Or is this about the "5 completely new characters" blurb in Akuma's trailer.

Behold the truly broken hip check! I would also like to point out that this special monster actually uses the Title Monster's Final Form Music!
But seriously, size actually means nothing to the Monsters of Monster Hunter. Not even Ridley can compare.

I definitely battled Dexio in Sun and Sina in Moon...unless there's some other factors I'm not aware of involved with who you battle...

He's referring to the blurb. Though my guess is that AT LEAST the silhouette at the end is completely new because judging from that hair alone I can't even think of a that matches that unless it's some kind of silhouette illusion.

The Plesioth Hip Glitch was bane of my existence long ago.
Eh, it wasn't that bad in 3(though it still slightly existed, if anything the tail hitbox was more noticable) and especially generations. Most generation 1 monsters had broken hitboxes prior to fix in recent generations. In fact I'd say that as a result Yian Garuga in the origan MH and MH Freedom is a lot worse than Deviljho and Rajang.

Also, I just noticed I quoted you 3 times. :p Let me break that up.


...
Is it your gender?
I was M in Moon and F in Sun.
Yeah, I overheard before that it depends on your selected gender.

Crazy day! Marvel and Crash are back! I'm so hyped! Still hoping for Stan Lee in Marvel though.

Guardians looks great to!

The Wars series is an RTS pretending to be turn based and it suffers greatly.
Either they actually make it an RTS or they look at Civ if they want to get it's full potential

Speaking of which, I wonder why the Female Kirin Hunter is heavily requested on Pixiv for a MvC game.

It's because she's hot n' cold isn't it?

I was male in Sun and female in Moon, maybe that explains it...seems a rather odd way to determine who you battle...

But it is turn-based? There's nothing RTS about AW other than some missions in Dual Strike having a timer.

Or they fail to see that the Rathalos Armor is clearly the better armor for the Hunter in a Versus game.

Or it's an excuse to have more cute females in the roster (which is definitely true based on some results I've seen).

It would be a sorely missed opportunity if the Hunters have different armors instead of alternate colors (hell, go full Smash and make half male and half female).

Nothing much. But I would recommend Dark Arisen easily since it's a rerelease with not only all the DLC, but new quests and a region (Bitterblack Isle) in addition to the old ones. It's much better than playing both the first game and the expansion to be honest.

I too hope that the Monster Hunter team can losen that grip around their characters. Any character from that verse can work as a fighter, even the biggest beast if we were to go there. Imagine being able to play as the Deviljo in the roster (Or even Rathalos).
Nice to hear. I ended up getting Dark Arisen on PSPlus a while ago and heard good things about it, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to miss anything important.

But yeah, both the Hunters, the Felynes and the Monsters can work as Playable characters. The hunters have plenty of weapons and movesets, the Felynes have weapons and Gadgets, like the Tank and Rocket, and depending on the Monster, you can get some cool moveset potentials, not to mention the Monsters come in alot of different sizes, including tiny sizes, so size is definitely not an issue as you could have a human sized Tigrex be playable and whatnot.
Although to be honest, it's hard to imagine Rathalos being playable, due to it's lack of usable limbs. Like it can do bites, tail whips, flips, toe grabs and fireballs, but it can't exactly use it's wings and feet for bunting people and doing crouch attacks. Unlike the likes of Kushala, Tigrex, Zinogre, Brachydios and Gore Magala, who have the extra limbs to swipe and scratch and do anything else that Rathalos can also do, besides fireballs.
I'd especially love to see Brachy or Gore, as Brachy has the slime mechanic and Gore has the Dragon Virus mechanic.
If any of the monsters were to be playable, I'd gladly like to never hear "Ridley would be impossible" ever again.
Too bad for you, as in the main games, you can actually fight monsters that are smaller than your hunter and, in some cases, are actually pretty human-sized. Size is definitely not an argument for why a Monster from Monster Hunter cannot be playable.

It's because she's hot n' cold isn't it?
It's definitely because of her design. She's got a very popular design among JP Monster Hunter fans. The weapon designs and the Kirin itself also helps. The only other armors that I think reach her popularity are Male Rathalos Blademaster armor, Female Rathian Gunner armor and Female Nargacuga Gunner armor. I don't really know any other armors that reach their popularity, except for maybe the Barioth and Lagiacrus Blademaster armors.

Unit production.
Bases
Fog of War and the way it works
Leaders and their abilities.

The bread and butter of an RTS held back by a sorry excuse of a turn based game.
Make it like Halo Wars at minimum and it'd actually be good.

Just because it has those elements doesn't make it an RTS. It just adds to the games uniqueness and why it's beloved by many. There's really no reason to turn it RTS when it will become something that it's not and will alienate fans even worse than how Awakening alienated some veteran FE fans.

And also that's your opinion so don't go around throwing it like fact please.

It's not all about size, it's about his proportions and being monster-like in general, or such is the argument in general once size alone started being the problem.

I don't even know I'd argue about size in a series with Sentinel.(Then again length might be much more of a problem in this case.) Not to mention that I'm not saying myself that it's impossible. In fact there was a character Hauzer that worked okay(Warzard/Capcom Fighting Evolution.), which a Deviljho hypothetically could have a similar moveset.(Size isn't even a issue as you mentioned because even bigger monsters can appeared on the smaller side, so it can easily just pass as a small crown one. It also helps that the controls keep on getting more and more simplified in MvC so far... Meaning less normals you even need to worry about.) I've played every main series game, you know. :p

The bread and butter of RTS is that you have to strategize in real-time, everything else is just popular extras.

The sad thing is this isn't even that much of an exaggeration, those absurb hitboxes cost me a few quests back in MH3U...

I'd especially love to see Brachy or Gore, as Brachy has the slime mechanic and Gore has the Dragon Virus mechanic.
I'd love to see Gore as well, it was one of my favorite fights in MH4 and there's a lot of things you could draw from it to make a very fun fighter. It has flight, it uses its wings as secondary arms, its rage mode is a good option for a super mode, and that aforementioned unique virus element would allow for many interesting implementations into the game. It'd be unconventional compared to many other fighters, but it'd really be a great character if done right. Same with Brachy, as even though it's more like a traditional brawler archetype, you still have things like its ramming abilities, slime, and that leap of death.

Read again.
It's literally an RTS mechanics wise confined by the fact it's a poorly made TBS. Now they can either make it an RTS so the RTS elements actually work or they look at how Civilization is able to pull it off and be an acclaimed series. There's not much of a fanbase to alienate either.

The bread and butter of RTS is that you have to strategize in real-time, everything else is just popular extras.
And those "extras" are associated with RTS more often than not and are better used in such an environment.
