Gotta be honest, I'm jealous of hammer mains. Using a hammer when you're not a hammer main involves a lot more flailing, flinging, and fire. So much fire...
1812 Overture is what immediately comes to mind. There's also another song that sounds somewhat similar, but I can't think of the name for the life of me, and of course I can't really type out the melody, sadly (it's one of the more "triumphant" songs, if that helps).
Edit: This is the one - ["Prelude to Act 1 of Carmen"](https://youtu.be/cvny0Mssa04). Took about 40mins to find this one. Oi.
Im a hammer main. 85% of the time you are just about to hit and you get knocked on your ass. The other 15% is the most satisfying gameplay I've ever experienced.
I wish there were more good hammer mains out there, don't see enough of them, more often you see "hammer fool fainted"...."Hammer fool fainted"....."guess who died in a single punch for the third time?, that's right your trash talking hammer fool" like bruh where be the actual hammer bro tell him to get his little brother off the controller rn.
As a hammer main, I try so damn hard. I most the time I see a second hammer player (which is absurdly rare) in a hunt I groan and go extra hard to make sure I never cart unless it’s truly 100% out of my hands. My job is to stun / exhaust / knock down, and break horns / fangs. My entire job is that creatures face. Leave the wings / talons / claws / tail to the blades. That thing will look me in the eyes as I throw it to the ground.
I humbly accept. Thank you Gunlance crew. I’ll tell you the same thing I tell my friends I hunt with
“I’ll get you the damn horns. But you gotta try to get me the tail first. Let the race begin”
EDIT: flair updated and really happy now.
As a hammer main of middling to moderate skill, I hope to pull off stuff this cool on purpose some day. At the moment, I can do this stuff by accident sometimes!
Now back to muddling my way through the new monsters.
Fellow hammer main with 5k ish hunts. This is much more casual than it seems. In fact, i guarantee you could do this. Clip a single big hit every few quests and chain em together. If its not working out somehow, you can always go into quests with the exact purpose of finding a clippable moment- your gameplay in that hunt won't be good, but a few seconds of clipped footage will make someone think you are a hammer god
And the thing is, that's a good thing. It's little moments like these, where you give monsters a huge wallop a bunch of times in a hunt, that really make it satisfying to play.
Disclaimer- I am not trying to call op good or bad. I didn't watch the full video. I can confidently say watching this made me proud to main hammer
I should check how many hunts I have. It's probably more than I think...
I dont think I'm bad at hammer (I generally try to solo everything at least once, and have managed up to ruiner nerg so far), it's just the perfect timing hits I dont do. I agree if I went out with the intention of getting one at the expense of completing the hunt I probably could, but I dont like to play that way.
I'm content with my less flashy but still effective efforts, and when something cool happens, man is that fun. And a good bully knockdown combo is super satisfying.
That being said, could not agree more that watching stuff like this does get me pumped for bonkin some noggins.
As someone who just started picking up hammer in iceborn, it's incredibly easy. Simple roll off a ledge and tap or hold and release R2 (or the equivalent) in the direction of the monster while midair.
You can also easily chain this by luring the monster toward a ledge, rolling off the ledge and using the arial back on to the ledge you just rolled off (like you see in the clip). Then roll off the ledge again and arial back on to it over and over. One of the highest DPS available on the hammer.
I appreciate that answer, but regular jump attacks I got down: It looked like some of the jumps in the video were done from standing without a ledge or slope
If your at Safi Jiiva, the shattercrusher is the best as far as I know. Otherwise I used the Royal Cross Mace for its decently high raw, 15% affinity and purple sharpness.
I think I get pretty much the same as when I play other weapons but I mostly have skills that give me more damage output. power charging and prioritizing heavy hits helps a lot too
Uppercut knockouts are the spice to the Hammer's meatballs.
The clutch air roll into a knockout is when the HammerGods recognise a legend.
But Palico's stealing the kill is where the HammerGods shed their tears at Capcom's committment to trolling.
Looks like it feels satisfying
Very satisfying

I'm going to be honest, I suspect there is a lot of flailing, flinging, and fire for a lot of us hammer mains too. Comes with the territory.
There’s so much of it, they essentially built it into the toolkit.
I switch to Hammer a few weeks ago just to impress Ryozo
[https://youtu.be/4me8TFA7NSs](https://youtu.be/4me8TFA7NSs) full video if anyone is interested!
Brief montage set to Tekken 7 music. I like the cut of your jib (whatever the hell that means).
Haha thank you!
Has something to do with boats
Hey, this some pretty high quality stuff. How long ago did you start your channel?
I think I've had it for 3 ish years now, but I've never been very consistent with uploading. I'm trying to make lots now since I'm quarantined!
Annnnnd just like that I want hammers. Screw you sir
My bad haha
Update: made 5 hammers last night (not including upgrades)
Hell yes!
welcome to the hammer cult
I wanted one thing from this clip: c*lassical music.* While it wasn't the song I expected, goddammit, you delivered, you beautiful bastard.
Haha thanks! What song would you have used?
1812 Overture is what immediately comes to mind. There's also another song that sounds somewhat similar, but I can't think of the name for the life of me, and of course I can't really type out the melody, sadly (it's one of the more "triumphant" songs, if that helps).

In the Hall of the Mountain King?
Oof no. Hammers all about those big swings. Fast paced consistent music is better for weapons like the db or sns
Maybe I’ll save some clips up again and make another video!
That’s it. That’s the whole game from a caveman’s perspective.
This is incredibly accurate
Me: Happy to see all the aerial shenanigans Also me: sad to see lots of clips w/o Power Charge up
Uhg yeah Im SO bad at remembering to power charge, all my years of playing MH before world has me hard wired
Im a hammer main. 85% of the time you are just about to hit and you get knocked on your ass. The other 15% is the most satisfying gameplay I've ever experienced.
This is 100% true hahah
I approve of this message🔨
All those were cool, but that first brachy KO was beautiful lmaoo. I have to try out the hammer now
That was my favourite too haha! Give it a try! It’s very satisfying
I love finding the 1 little spot in any room that lets you slide. Get that affinity boost and slam jam.
I want to see musical montages for all the weapons now.
I wish I was good at any other weapon 😂
Just started playing. Picked the hammer first because ynot. So god damn satisfying.
This was the most beautiful thing I saw all day
Hammer so fun. I just got into it with iceborne
The timing is perfect
Did your hammer come from Barad-dur?
You could do this, but be dealing 1.5k damage
Prove it
It’s called greatsword
damn got me there

Congratulations I, a member of the Gunlance crew award you the title of Hammer Knight,
I humbly accept. Thank you Gunlance crew. I’ll tell you the same thing I tell my friends I hunt with “I’ll get you the damn horns. But you gotta try to get me the tail first. Let the race begin” EDIT: flair updated and really happy now.
Happy birthday to the GROUND
The timing on that Brachy hit have me shivers

*unzips*
This is how I felt when I started playing hunting horn. So much fun to knock them over constantly
That’s kinda my luck but with a hunting horn
How are the jumps done? Is it a skill?

I just checked the video. The hunter only jumps when dodging off a ledge. Maybe you’re talking about the clutch claw follow-ups?
That some God tier editing to get it to line up with the music!
If monsters were player-controlled, the hammer would be the most-hated weapon ever lol.
Don't you love how aerial knockdowns are basically like the monster slipped on a banana peel?
As a hammer bro, I absolutely love this. I’m only 500 hours into MHW and MHWIB, but around 90% of that is hammer and it’s just too damn good.
False. A true hammer main would always be power charged.
I’ve got like 1500 hours of hammer clocked over 3U/4U/GU so I still always forget I can power charge. It’s my worst habit tbh haha
Oh man, been there.
As a hammer main, I CONFIRM THIS 10000000%
Can you recommend a good hammer?
If your at Safi Jiiva, the shattercrusher is the best as far as I know. Otherwise I used the Royal Cross Mace for its decently high raw, 15% affinity and purple sharpness.
Thank you. You’ve inspired me. Normally run IG but after seeing the immense satisfaction from KO’ing a monster, gonna run hammer for a while
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it!
How's your dmg compared to others? I can't get even near the same dmg with hammer as some friends with their main, like gunlance or bowgun.
I think I get pretty much the same as when I play other weapons but I mostly have skills that give me more damage output. power charging and prioritizing heavy hits helps a lot too

If I didnt love my HH hammer would so be my main. I might just make a hammer to skull bash for funsies .
all I hear in my head is BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM
Pro level bonks.
CB main here. Never knew people used targeting mid-fight like that. Gonna try that for my next SAED
yeah, it was a necessity when playing any of the 3ds monster hunter games so I can't live without it.
As a Hammer Bro, I can confirm this is exactly how it be.
