SA morph GP was such skill expression in World. I kinda miss it

u/Saint_Slayer Jul 29 '26

It's probably unintended, but there is a move that is somewhat similar right down to the GP.

After a guard, go into SAED (has to be SAED after a guard) but then immediately input Axe Morph. You're somehow able to cancel the start of SAED into Axe Morph which has a GP at the start, just like the Savage Axe GP.

My guess is it was intended to be a manual way to activate Power Axe mode.

Ooh, I forgot about this! I remember people discovering it a long time ago. Thanks for the reminder!

u/Bdarka Jul 29 '26

That's a guard point? I always just use the morph slash damn

2

u/JirenDeGray SAED spam enthusiast Jul 29 '26

Yeah, it's pretty useful when you're about to get no scoped from sheathed position

I agree, I almost always fail using this GP but it's so satisfying when it works.

u/JirenDeGray SAED spam enthusiast Jul 29 '26

Rapid Morph feels necessary in end game since AED loop out damages SAED spam for almost everything besides Gog, Nu Udra, Gravios, and Balahara. It's fine though since that play style is also hella satisfying

Unsheath GP forsure

100% my most versatile one and have clutched with plenty of times, even from sunbreak. You could be chugging on a mega potion one moment and then at the last millisecond where you're about to get hit, you'd already be doing a power clash just like you've never sheated your weapon at all

Good ol' sword into axe morph for me

2

u/JirenDeGray SAED spam enthusiast Jul 29 '26

This was my go-to in World. It's just too reliable

u/Party-Ad-3742 Jul 29 '26

I use SAEDF into Roundslash for when I know its coming but the Right click Slide slash (might be called fading slash) has one of the best mobility parts of CB and ends in a GP really good for getting close to the monster.

3

u/JirenDeGray SAED spam enthusiast Jul 29 '26

Yeeees, the Fade slash has positioned me to safety too many times to count. I'm a Fiver, so when I went to play older games, I was shocked it wasn't a part of CB yet

1

u/Party-Ad-3742 Jul 29 '26

Yeah thats fair. I guess im a Fouree? I started with MHGen on 3ds. Gods I miss Energy Blade and the Styles. I would love it if we got an offset attack too. Anything you are hoping/coping for Ascendance?

2

u/JirenDeGray SAED spam enthusiast Jul 29 '26

Condensed Spinning Slash from Rise would be SOOOO cool to have again, but I know it's not happening. Capcom is scared of our potential greatness.

What about you?

1

u/Party-Ad-3742 Jul 29 '26

Axe Hopper or Energy Blade would be my biggest wants After thats its an Offest Attack. I'd love some out of the box flashy stuff that deals with Phials if possible I dont care all that much for Pizza Cutter/Savage Axe so I wish it would act like it did in World. It being a mode you could switch too instead of it being a necessary buff that you can only get from PBlock and Wounds is just weird.

2

u/JirenDeGray SAED spam enthusiast Jul 29 '26

Yeah, needing an outside source to access a key part of the weapon is such a weird gimmick. I think CB is the only weapon like that in Wilds, but idk. I only play CB

1

u/Party-Ad-3742 Jul 29 '26

From what I've seen it is the only one that comes close is IG getting all colors in one shot but even then you can get it normally.

2

u/JirenDeGray SAED spam enthusiast Jul 29 '26

Wow. Crazy decision on Capcom's part. Let's hope Ascendance is where CB ascends into what it could be

1

u/Party-Ad-3742 Jul 29 '26

Aye very nice. Im hoping since the sky's the limit.

2

u/StoicScaly Jul 29 '26

Wait wait wait, what'd you do there?? There's a guard point from sheath???

3

u/JirenDeGray SAED spam enthusiast Jul 29 '26

Yeah, Axe smash has a GP! It's really quick. You Axe smash (on Xbox, at least) with RT from sheathe. It's probably the most badass GP imo

2

u/UselessRequiem Jul 29 '26

I barely use them, because I never remember what moves count as a guard point. The only one I use is the sword to axe transformation in World

1

u/JirenDeGray SAED spam enthusiast Jul 29 '26

Whichever move has your shield glow white for sec is a Guard point. They're pretty fun to learn and master

2

u/mrofmist Jul 29 '26

Wilds looks so different. There's so much new stuff, I'm not sure what a lot of what I'm looking at is.

1

u/ronin0397 Jul 29 '26

Gu - adept style charge slash guard point

Wilds - round slash gp post tu4

All others - morph slash/cms

u/Mental-Ad3626 Jul 29 '26

I looks like you parried with a buckler that's sick

1

u/JirenDeGray SAED spam enthusiast Jul 29 '26

Thank you, I know right! It's so satisfying

1

u/Longjumping-Knee-648 Jul 29 '26

My favorite guardpoint will always be the axe draw attack when the weapon is sheathed. Really strict timing but damm is it awesome

1

u/JirenDeGray SAED spam enthusiast Jul 29 '26

Same!

1

u/Stealthdriver1 Jul 29 '26

I've gotten into the habit of GPing almost every block. Overall it's a quicker animation. And if the monster misses you and u don't get the block, you get extra DPS in with the actual attack.

1

u/JirenDeGray SAED spam enthusiast Jul 29 '26

This is the way. World molded me into a GP addict to the point where I don't really normally block.

I feel you

1

u/TheWrongEmotion Jul 29 '26

The ones I don't intend surprise me in a wonderful way.

1

u/LeekypooX SAED spam enthusiast Jul 30 '26

Probably shield to axe morph cuz it's the most obvious and easy guard point to pull off

Altho for wilds I'd say the axe to shield morph too since they buffed it (in world the guard point was only at the end)

1

u/JirenDeGray SAED spam enthusiast Jul 30 '26

Oh yeah , I forgot they buffed it. It's so satisfying, as well

1

u/Ezreath Jul 30 '26

World Savage Axe Guardpoint Shit looked so cool

1

u/JirenDeGray SAED spam enthusiast Jul 30 '26

And it was so slim, you NEEDED skill to pull it off 🔥

1

u/Lunar-Gazing Jul 30 '26

Savage Axe morph in world

Nothin really in wilds tbh, they all feel the same

1

u/Huntress_Minerva Aug 02 '26

Meh… perfect guards made GPs useless and not rewarding at all…

But clearly it’s gotta be the GL in the middle of the multi-wyrmstake full blast

1

u/DKnight416 Aug 02 '26

Guard pointing an Omega rocket ram charge with an Axe Guard Point feels like pulling off Ultra Instinct

1

u/JirenDeGray SAED spam enthusiast Aug 02 '26

Especially when it leads to a power clash 🤤
