Great Jaggi is the easiest monster in the game, by the way :P

Also, you picked a bad time to get into the game, Generations comes out tomorrow :P

It's my fate. I got the original DS Lite shortly before they announced the 3DS, and original XBox the year the 360 came out. I'm not terribly bothered by it, I can always play single player and none of the friends that I'd want to do multiplayer with have any interest in Monster Hunter anyway.

But I don't want generations and I have no attachment to Monster Hunter as a series and MH4U was cheaper than Generations will be and I didn't even know that I was going to have a 3DS until like two days ago

Fair point. I'm sure there will be people in a similar position to play with online if you don't mind randoms.

Running through Darkroot Garden when suddenly I'm invaded. Immediately I panic, since my earlier experiences with PvP were not exactly stellar. Lots of dying and backstabs before eking out a victory. Being a squishy wizard I put away my magic longsword and pull out my wand as soon as I spot the guy. He's got some kind of katana and a Grass Crest Shield (which I'm also sporting for obvious reasons). After a few soul spears that he rolled under I pulled out my magic longsword since he was getting too close. As I attack he turns around or something, for suddenly I'm backstabbing him. Obviously this doesn't finish him off, not by a long shot, but suddenly he's down to half health while I'm at full have plenty of flasks. The Grass Crest Shield has 95 physical block (which his katana deals) and only 42 magic block (which is half of what my magic longsword deals). The next few minutes was pretty much the two of us rolling around and launching quick attacks. I was doing chip damage to him while he was doing almost nothing. I got backstabbed once, but in the end he couldn't stop me from widdling down the rest of his health bar.

Needless to say, I immediately get the fuck out of dodge after I grabbed the souls he left behind.

Welp, I've officially done the weirdest thing I've ever done with rope in a video game.

I was supposed to build a suspension bridge that would allow a boat under it.  Instead I built this:

Those two brown things near the bottom of the supports?  Rope.  With just the metal and wood, both those supports would tear in half down the middle.  But with a single long line of rope each its A-OK.

supporting a bridge with tensile force is hardly "weird"

I mentioned suspension bridges, clearly I know that.

Its the specific way, and the material, that was odd.

DS's backstabs are... odd. I'm not sure, but they may be calculated off weapon position or something. Every now and then, you kind of warp around and backstab.

If you ever get invaded by an Arx, that's probably me!

Yeah. Even in PvE backstabs are pretty weird. I can't seem to land them consistantly, unless I snuck up on the enemy or something. I do know that there's a technique for getting them in PvP all the time (because I've been on the receiving end of it), but I don't think I'll ever learn it. Seems way to cheesy to me.

It's pretty simple, actually. Your back and front don't actually move when doing swings and the like, so even if it looks like you are turning sideways for an attack, you aren't. Same applies to all players and npcs.
