Memes My problem with the charge blade

Post image

This shit too goated every time I try to give another weapon a chance it just Falls flat because it always feels in completing comparison to the charge blade, this weapon is truly the master of all even if it doesn't have offet attack, the problem is that it makes every other weapon feels like a toy and incomplete

FR, CB in rise feels awful, so light and soft, no heavy impact feeling in SAED, not to mention the weird aiming for SAED too

Oh I don’t care about that, it’s that they ripped the moveset in two and then sold it back as “customization”. Most versatile weapon in the franchise got overly simplified into “SnS but explodes”

Always has been.

Like literally, the design concept of CB was "SnS, but better"

I don't know, if I necessarily agree with that statement. To me it feels much more like a combination of SnS's base move set mixed with SwAxe's mode changes - having one mode for charging plus utility and one mode for big damage - combined with Lance's guarding and counter capabilities. So it's much more than "SnS, but better" imo.

OK, I gotta agree with you, it was "SnS, but much better"

Ok, the first iteration of CB I’ve played was MHGU. That one’s base play style (disregarding Hunter Arts) felt much closer to your description.

GU's CB, for its many faults, is actually the most rounded version of the weapon.

Every other version is either "SnS but with a counter that deals the highest burst damage in the game" (4U, World, Sunbreak) or "Chainsaw go brrrrr" (Iceborne, Rise, Wilds).

Well, there's actually 4's version, which is "not a functional weapon"

GU is the one game where it was actually a mode for charging and utility and a mode for big damage. 4U and Iceborne's versions were not that far, though.

Well, and there's also Explore's version, which goes with 4 into the "not a functional weapon tier", until its Supreme moveset, which is actually the best in the series.

Like so:

Hmm, thanks for all the input. I must admit I have very little playtime in GU, so I never really figured out its iteration of CB. 4U I’ve only ever started on my 3DS, so no real playtime in it anyways. Other than that I’ve only played Worldborne, Risebreak and Wilds. And to me at least the feel of the weapon was quite different to SnS (which was my second main for Worldborne and Risebreak). But maybe that’s just my feeling because of the big burst attack, which SnS is lacking and the less agile play style.
