I think the new weapon could be a similar story to the long sword.It went from the giant heavy great sword to the light weapon we came to love in mhf2.This weapon could be a new form of the sns just not as fast but dealing more damage with less hits from the weapon,less combos,and a weaker shield or block.This weapon could be a way to attract more hunters to heavier and slower weapons or a way to attract hunters to faster and lighter weapons.I also believe that this weapon could replace the almighty longsword.
