I am a seasoned hunter I have been playing monster hunter for a few games. I have played Monster hunter freedom 2, monster hunter freedom unite, monster hunter tri, monster hunter portable 3rd and monster hunter 3 ultimate and wish to play monster hunter 4 sometime in the future.

How I discovered monster hunter!
I first discovered monster hunter at a little Gamestation store when I was about nine. I saw a large stand with several pictures I remember clearly of rathian and lagiacrus(of course they were scary dragons then) and they had a wii showing a little video, which now plays as the intro video. It looked amazing but very scary at the time.I couldn't buy it, of course, only being nine but it still stuck with me. It was about a year and I hadn't really thought about it until it just appeared to me it existed after seeing it in a top wii games list while browsing for games to use the thing. I then went and watched some random awful let's play of the game. By watching it I more mean I sorta' played it in the background whilst I did some other stuff like looking at minecraft's early development so I only really took it as a normal game and that lagiacrus was a sort of 'end-game boss' and rathalos was fought after it and these were the only two monsters I really knew aside from rhenopolos(I didn't know the name just the looks.)

A couple of years later I was just looking around a newly opened game shop in town and this was just after my parents started letting me play pegi 16 games and there it was, sat there, Monster hunter tri it was £11 which was all my pocket money that day. So I dropped the two games I was currnetly holding and immediately asked my Dad if he'd let me get it.

Not much really happened between then I was totally awful at the game and couldn't even get past the capture the great jaggi quest and I had a hard time with just killing it.

It then just sat in my cupboard for about a year or maybe more and I started to become a real gamer having both a ps3 and Xbox and I just happened to find a link to a monster hunter 4 trailer and I qas very lucky I even clicked on that link, If I hadn't I think I would've disregarded monster hunter and not have ended up finding many youtube stars as I have and I wouldn't have found iCEMANnoob or teamworkcast and I wouldn't have anywhere near as much to watch podcastwise and just generally videos I had no Idea what was happening so I sought out the wiki and from there I found out there were loads of monsters, games and people doing videos on the stuff. Through it I found out about iCEMANnoob, MHsketch and teamworkcast and the soon to be internationally released Monster Hunter 3 ultimate and I got hyped. I bought a PSP specifically to buy and play freedom unite and started spending whole weekends playing tri's multiplayer. But alas I was a true noob I didn't actually understand skills and why not to use mix-and-match armour sets but I did meet some true friends on my level playing and I did kinda keep a hacker I found in my friends list.

But then the news broke servers were closing this inspired me to get to high rank. Luckily I did just scraping HR 33 but I'm not proud of how we did the urgent I had two other guys along and one of them was a hacker who utillised bombs he had a super speed bomb placement and infinite LG barrel bomb+ hack I believe his name was Thimo or something but we did the Jhen in less than five minutes as he could pretty much place bombs as fast as he could spam 2 on the wii mote.

Let's skip to the release of 3u, I had been super psyched and hyped about it seeing iCEMANnoob playing the japanese version in 2012 and seeing all the new combos and weapons, weapons I'd barely used in unite. The game for me came a day before the U.K official relese(thanks Amazon) and it came with a T-shirt of a brachydios symbol. It was all I'd hoped for and I'd stormed through low rank and the forst real challenge was Brachydios in high rank it was high-damage, one of the magnetic always stay near you and unpredictable monsters but I finally killed it in about 48 minutes. From then I knew it was hard this is the 3ds version so I have to solo everything I have killed at least one of every monster except from Lucent narga and Abyssal lagi.

My current most hours put in any monster hunter game or any game ever is Monster hunter freedom unite which is over 4010 hours, and yes solo and finished.

Since all of this I am actually good enough to be considered veteran as I do tend to play daily.

That was my monster hunter biography.

My favourite monsters
These are my opinions deal with it.

10.Purple Gypceros- The Purple poison menace, I'm not too sure why, I just love the colouring and the looks I just think it stands out and ever since the fiirst time I saw It I knew I'd like it and possibly even love it(which I do) I also love it's gear and the armour isn't too shabby when you make it.

9.Monoblos-Being a huge dino nerd I love how it has the head of a styracosaurus and looks totally cool. I honeslty**spoilers for the rest of the list** prefer it way,way over diablos as it's less broken and doesn't dig constantly and provides a legitimate challenge when it is fought not just a thing thst kick your ass because it can. I do like diablos just not as top ten material.

8.Crimson fatalis-My favourite of the fatalis bretheren white fatty probably would've been 11 on the list but it's a bit too cheap and broken for me that's also why**spoilers purple or black fatalis isn't** and when I get 4 and he's released in DLC I'll probably love him loads more. The most legitimatly challenging in unite, coolest looking, nicest little backstory with the volcano exposure causing it to look like that and act like that and justy generally least broken.

7.Zinogre-Now this is how you do cool wolves, is it the charging up to go super saiyan? Yes. Is it the design? yes. Is it the fun and dynamic battle? yes. Is it the.....YES!!!!! p.s this is a great flagship monster. I'm looking at you lagiacrus....

6.Garara Ajara-Despite not even playing monster hunter 4 yet this guy and his new classification,Snake wyvern have gotten me hooked I've been wanting a snake with an original design for absolutley ages and he delivers it in bucketloads.With him you feel in control but, really he is. Coiling around you tempting you with breaks that are risky to get and a really cool looking design he's just fab.

5.Tetsukabura-this one is really quite unexpected. When they started showing monsters such as Zaboazagiru I didn't really think they'd continue making more mostly land-based monsters let alone a type out of it but as soon as I saw the announcement of the amphibian classification I think we all expected a frog. But what we got was an amazing Red,blue and yellow beefed up monster frog with two gigantic tusks and sets of dangerous looking teeth that can pick up boulders and spitting goo. It sounds like something from a low-budget monster movie at first but, and I knew this when I first saw it, it makes a solid number 5 on my list.

4.Black Tigrex-This is one monster I have loved since I first heard about it and is pretty damn strong I swear when I get my mitts on MH4 I am getting his gunner set, his blademaster set and as many of his weapons as I can. On four players levelling the monster quests up I wanted to do black tigrex as soon as I saw iCEMANnoob do it and yes multiplayer not solo. Oh and his designs cool.

3.Rajang(and golden)-He's just so cool, a giant monkey that shoots lightning, is so muscular he has arms like pillars and can go super saiyan enough said.

2.Deviljho/savage-For the same reasons as number 3 Jho was number 1 for a while until the currnt number 1 took it's place. He's so powerful, based on a dinosaur(which I love), and is like me,strong,scary and always hungry and he utilises dragon which is damn powerful.These things get huge too or tiny.

And.....

1.Red tigrex/Tigrex subspecies-I wasn't too fussed when it was orignally revealed but after seeing videos of it I love it. It's well balanced, reducing speed and upping attack. Giving him slime/blastg element in cloud which are easily aovided but your brain classes them as unthreatning so you run directly into them accidently. He also has flint on his feet, 2 rage modes, is huge, fought at the tower and is awesome looking and nicely coloured. Just lie black tigrex I want his full blade/gunner set and as many of his weapons as possible.
