After spending some time with the demo, I've gotta say, the new Styles have really opended me up to pretty much every weapon in the game (besides GL, hate that thing).
In MH4U I was a SnS main, so naturally I enjoy fast paced, dodgey, hit and run weapons. I played pretty much only SnS, Glaive, and sometimes GS, but I would rarely play others. Granted I tried the Lance and liked it (Evade Lancing), as well as the DBs, but I felt like in MH4U SnS > DB was the way to go due to the fact that I didn't have to dedicate my attacks to one area in order to have competitive DPS.
But in MHX, the Hunter Styles have opened up a door to a whole new world of Hunting. I'm using shit like the Switch Axe, a weapon I absolutely hated, because now I can be aggressive without bothering my teammates via the Aerial Style. I'm using the Bow, a weapon I had never even thought to try in MH4U; as
nerd said, Bushido is just too damn good because you get a full charge in less time, for less stamina, just by doing what you would naturally do anyways. I'm not much of a fan of Striker, perhaps that's because we dint get the Level 3 moves in the demo, but specific Weapons are given quirks through the Striker Style that I like "I.e. the Lance loses its double 3rd strike, which is good for me because I'm an Evade Lancer). What I think of when I say Guild is SnS, because it's just good ol SnS.
I think MHX is gonna be the best one yet. Is quite refreshing and I'm having mad fun.
