Forum:Monster grapples with comand sequences



I've been checking out all the MH games and i see a vital piece missing, epic breathtaking "pin" animations, for example, there's the monster pin where a monster attacks you and forces you into a short REPEATED animations in which you can press buttons like mad to break free. But what's really missing are Ultra Unique monster attacks that throw you into an epic showdown we're you follow button commands with precision to evade/ counter attack/or get hit into another segment of the animation, for those God of War fans you know what i mean (minus all the gore). I got this idea when i found myself daydreaming about how badass Akantor looks and how much of a reckless brute it can be, the idea i had in mind for its Ultra Unique animation sequence would be a warning growl (not to be mistaken with a growl of a monster that's tired out) followed up by a quick- short uppercut with tusks which sends the hunter flying in a different motion, where the screen flashes and the camera view changes as Akantor shifts back and slo-mo leaps at the fallen hunter (Ultra Unique animation's slow-mo effects all surroundings including other hunters if online, the other players would have the same screen effect as the player that's targeted in the Ultra Unique attack, creating suspense for the hunter's fate) where he/she must input the command that appears on his/her screen or get hit (which depending on the monster would either end the animation, or if its "one of those monsters" like a flagship monster or something of equal importance, follow up a second attack which can result fatal) If the hunter manages to press the command shown, the character would counter attack (only using carving knife so that it's possible to be executed by any weapon class) or evade out of the attack which ends the Ultra Unique attack sequence animation. Of course each monster's Ultra Unique attack sequence would be different and would only be triggered in certain conditions such as, only G rank monsters are capable of doing it, Lagiacrus and other sea Bosses can only execute it under water, or maybe after a certain body part of a monster is broken/cut,or while in a special rage mode, I just really wish monster hunter would be recognized as more of just "farm this, farm that, URGENT" although i do enjoy it... just lacks the will to keep fighting the monster
