Great Sword

Introduction
The Great Sword or GS, for short, is one of the first weapons to appear in the Monster Hunter World. Their sheer size dictate that they carry with them an amazing damage output. However, there is a drawback to this. Great Sword users, when they draw their weapon, are extremely slow due the sword's weight. Due to this, other hunter find it extremely difficult to use the Great Sword effectively and it's lack of combos and flashy moves sometimes "bore" hunters. But due to it's usually high raw damage, it quickly makes mince meat out of any monster you encounter. It is a deep weapon with enormous potential yet it requires trained hands to be used effectively. If you allocate your path as a hunter on these weapons, you must train and train and train!

Unique Attributes

 * The GS has only 3 major attacks: Vertical Slash (VS), Horizontal Swing (HS), and the Uppercut (U).
 * Each of the 3 major attacks can be linked with each other (VS-> HS -> U ->VS) but cannot link the same type of attack (VS cannot be linked with another VS)
 * You can execute a quick vertical slash by running and attacking with the sword while it's sheathed.
 * You can Charge you VS and Draw attack up to the 3rd level of charge (the strongest). This can deal the highest raw damage in a single strike in the game.
 * Alternatively, of you release a Lvl 3 charge attack half-a-second before it should have, you create a slightly faster downward slash with the same power as that of a Lvl 3 charge.
 * You can block with it but don't expect too much. Sharpness falls if you block with the GS.
 * Uppercut isn't ideal in a LAN game since it knocks player into the air... But time it right and it becomes a life saver.
 * You can execute a much quicker kick while the sword is drawn. Just press select when you are holding it.
 * A GS attack must connect on the "sweet spot" instead of the hilt or tip if you want to do some significant damage to your target.
 * A Great Sword's reach is quite long so you can easily cut tails or hack flying wyverns with it.
