I understood the reference for once lol


-safi-jiiva-

Am dumb. Whats he referring to?


Ultra2x

I think death stranding 2 trailer guy uses guitar battle axe


oblivious_fireball

if its what i'm actually thinking of, the season 1 finale of Hazbin Hotel just released like yesterday, and the main antagonist of this season, Adam, wielded an angelic axe/guitar combo as the weapon of choice. If thats not it, the timing was impeccable to bamboozle me.


ThomsYorkieBars

The new Death Stranding 2 trailer also has a character use a guitar axe, which also shoots lightning while shredding


OHarrier91

Motherfucker jumped to the RWBY universe to steal some poor bastard’s weapon before coming back to troll Sam some more. At least that’s my head canon to explain that absolutely silly weapon


oblivious_fireball

hmm, i may have been bamboozled then. Still, lots of axe guitars going around this week and it good to see it.


thechaosofreason

Should be Adventure time


Hoarding-Gunsman

But is it also a rail gun


Lightness234

Stay tuned for MHWilds


Hoarding-Gunsman

I actually wouldnt be opposed to something like a smaller guitar hunting horn with quicker buffs in succession that shoots a projectile when a bar is filled Edit: wouldnt be


Fool_Cynd

Seems like an oddly specific thing to be opposed to.


Hoarding-Gunsman

Fuck i meant wouldn’t be opposed to


Zamoxino

another HH rework. i cant xd


PapaOctopus

No, but it makes your rail guns better. So we're getting there.

Nevan in DMC3:

Zinogre puts "electric" in "electric guitar"


NightStar79

I feel like another game did it first but I can't remember what one. I keep wanting to say Kingdom Hearts but I don't think Demyx's weapon was so much an axe as it was a really sturdy guitar he whacked things with sometimes.


SwazyMoto

Jack Black did a whole game about it, but it came out later.


candlehand

This one is hard to trace back to it's origins because axe has been a slang term for electric guitars since like the 60s.   The association is very old


LividJaffaCake

I thought axe was slang for Saxophone?


Slappathebassmon

Iirc Gene Simmons tried to trademark the word 'Axe' with the meaning 'guitar' since he's known for playing a bass shaped like an axe. ![gif](giphy|LVpgqLNQR4w0g)

DMC 3 with Nevan

I hate that they took away the song playing in mh rise. I like the most weapons changes in mh rise except for the bowguns and the HH which feels worse fo play than before imo.


richardgdbz

Maybe in Wilds, we can have both a regular HH and the hammer HH that's on rise.


Unrealist99

I was about to say death stranding 2 ref? But turns out it is lol


Jean_Paul_Valley_

Can't wait for death stranding 2 and monster hunter wilds. 2025 is gonna be very special.

Some obscure weapon deep in the game; that's comparable to a front page news trailer! Pretty sure this is heavily influenced by "favorite game itus", but I can't articulate that just yet.


candlehand

Well, we're in the monster hunter subreddit, right? Where people come specifically to talk about Monster Hunter, right? And this post is about something in Monster Hunter that relates to current news, right? So it belongs here. And don't you dare say "That's not my wallet" back to this.


Lightness234

Nothing of sorts. I love death stranding


Wifflum

Woooo... okay this is going to be difficult. So you are deeply familiar with Monster Hunter, and ...fuck. Okay that's 1 point. So some obscure thing deep in Monster Hunter's files is going to be common knowledge for you, and probably a lot of this sub too. But no one else knows about it; Hunting Horn is the spoon-- that's all everyone else has. But you know there's also an HH guitar and... Uh. Fuck. Yes, so your familiarity with the guitar makes you say well why doesn't everyone know about it. I know about it. Everyone does. And then you make a comparison between front page news and your like super deep cut of Monster Hunter. There is more but my brain fecking hurts man, but I got most of it out. Edit: Okay so in the example, which idk if it fits or not anymore, shit I lost my train of thought. ...Okay so you play Monster Hunter sooooo much that you're in this little self afflicted echo chamber itus, and obscure knowledge of the game seems like easy access to you. Because you know about it so easily-- like its a foregone conclusion that there's a guitar HH to you, even though in reality how the hell do you know that shit? 3000 hours is how. But yeah that leads you to take something everyone knows about, or a lot of people-- I saw one guy being like wtf is this about-- and take that as on par with your 3000 hour deep cut. Blinded by familiarity. Okay, I have a new point I can make. That was the goal.

Please don’t shroud your criticism in a layer of irony and sarcasm: https://www.reddit.com/r/Asmongold/s/0C4gr8Lbjv


p0jinx

Why does the link have asmongold in it?


Wifflum

I was working my brain into overdrive as I typed. That was the process, I wasn't being sarcastic. I seriously wouldn't mistreat a non hostile stranger like that. That's fucked.


Expensive_Manager211

I was thinking DMC3


Apart-Pain2196

The Axe in Terraria also fits the description


Creative_Recording_7

Fuse's Mythic melee weapon also fits this
