The Official Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Topic

In my experience the Switch Axe generally feels clunky and is slow in Axe mode. It's the main reason I've never really used it. I'm not really a big fan of slower weapons. It has a nice side step, but it doesn't really make up for the slowness of it's main attacks, in my opinion.

Of course, that's purely my opinion. I have enough weapons I liked long before they added Switch Axe anyway so I don't really need to be favoring another weapon class. There's only so many materials I can gather from the same monsters to make more weapons before I go insane.

I guess i'm used to the slowness because all I used before is the hammer and greatsword, I think I may go Dual swords this round because I really wrecked plessy in the demo with the dual swords....which is strange because I hated dual swords in the past.
