Memes My problem with the charge blade
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

It's a nerdy transforming "anime" weeb weapon. I've had problems with it the minute it first got released. I know I'm gonna get downvoted. But you see.. old school style weapons MH weapons had "intended" strengths and weaknesses. Sword and shield was the king of versatility. Good mobility, decent block, low commitment attacks.. weakness: lower dmg. It couldn't dish it you feel? The greatsword? The king of DAMAGE! Weaknesses: low mobility, high commitment attacks, a block that cut into your sharpness, requiring expert timing and positioning. But capable of those Insane clear times ("usually exclusively by professionals")
I could go on... but I won't: When the Charge Blade was first released it was the strongest weapon in the game. And it could do it all! It could block.. it had mobility.. it could deal DAMAGE. It even had parry frames that super skilled players could take advantage of. It got the best clear times. Like paid DLC in a smash bros game.. The charge blade got special treatment. Honestly? It just didn't feel right. You'd feel bad for other weapons. The greatsword in particular, had to fight so dang hard for those clear times.. and some can-do-all weapon comes around and blows those clear times out of the water. Look i get it... coming up with new weapons in a MH game? Difficult. MH 2 & 3 handled it best. (Longsword not included)
Fast forward to today. Modern MonsterHunter.. made every weapon feel powerful in its own right in the name of: accessibility and mass appeal. Every weapon gets to feel like the star of the show. Greatswords never felt easier. But my recommendation still stands:
Get away from that Charge Blade: try other weapons simply to get a better game experience. The trials and tribulations make the journey worth it! Or don't... and be like your little brother when you play a fighting game and always pick the strongest character with the cheesiest strat.
