Capcom knows Monster Hunter Wilds' hammer needs buffs, but an action RPG legend is already using it to recreate an iconic Monster Hunter World clip that's becoming a meme all over again

The hammer isn't exactly the best weapon in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Monster Hunter Wilds, and Capcom knows it, but that's not stopping one action RPG icon from using it to recre💦ate a legendary Monster Hunter World video🤪.

Last month, Monster Hunter Wilds director Yuya Tokuda confirmed that following fan feedback, which are set to be "implemented gradually with each upcoming title update." Specifically, he stated: "We are currently carefully considering upward adjustments for the hammer, and then looking at other overall weapon balance adjustments with a goal to implement them either in the ♊end of May update or the second title update in summer.♈"

Needless to say, buffs are coming, but clearly, we don't actually need them to pull off some seriously cool stuff. Over on Twitter, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SunhiLegend has shared a clip of him sending a poor, unsuspecting Xu Wu into the stratosphere with a massive, spinning slam of a hammer, chaining a spin attack into a countering offset attack. The timing, the precision, and the overဣall cinematography of it all is genuinely something to behold – after a few twirls, the attack is perfectly aimed straight into the monster's mouth as it surges forward to pounce.

If you're feeling a bit of déjà vu, there's a good reason for that. SunhiLegend is the same player who, a few years ago, delivered a spectacular 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Monster Hunter World clip where he pulled off yet another spinning hammer attack on a Tigrex, sending the wyvern flying and presumably knocking out most of its teeth in the process. If you've been a Monster Hunter fan since before Wild🌺s, chances are you've seen a gif of this, if not an edit of it to some music or a funny caption, and the throwback is making a reaction to this, what some have dubbed the "sequel," even better.

"Wilds just got its slo-mo hammer Tigrex clip," one . "Tigre🥀x clip got dethroned," . "This makes me wonder if the original video had any part in creating offset attacks," .

Meanwhile, others have already taken the 🌟liberty of producing edits of the new clip – after all, it's o💛nly right at this point.

We'll just have to ♐wait and see what players are able to pull off whenever Capcom makes its adjustments to t🦂he hammer. After all, the more of these sorts of clips it can encourage, the better.
