Nick Mosier based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/20220726-211656\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">original Japanese article<\/a> (original article&#8217;s publication date: 2022-07-26 01:54 JST)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br>Capcom has released new gameplay footage for <em><strong>Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak<\/strong><\/em>. The video shows off the new area Forlorn Arena with a rare species of Nargacuga fighting against some hunters. This is set to be the centerpiece of the upcoming Free Title Update 1 content that players have been looking forward to. However, when the video was released, it wasn\u2019t Nargacuga that fans couldn\u2019t take their eyes off of as they wondered just what the hunter in the video was doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak - First Look at Lucent Nargacuga Gameplay\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D4YTaChz15g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>At the start of the video, we can see a hunter with a charge blade equipped dash in to attack the Nargacuga as it has its back turned. The moment before the monster roars signaling the start of the battle is the perfect chance to get some attacks in. But before the hunter can lay down the third attack, they flinch as they are interrupted by an ally\u2019s lance. If they hadn\u2019t flinched, they may have been able to get in a third or fourth attack. We then see the player flinch again at the 45 second mark due to another ally\u2019s bow attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video had viewers commenting to ask why the hunter is not equipped with the Flinch Free skill and even caused the name of the skill to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%E3%81%B2%E3%82%8B%E3%81%BF%E8%BB%BD%E6%B8%9B&amp;src=trend_click&amp;f=live&amp;vertical=trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trend<\/a> on Twitter in Japan.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Flinch Free is a skill in <em>Monster Hunter<\/em> that depending on the level can prevent knockback from monster attacks. The skill also prevents flinching and interruptions from ally attacks so they don\u2019t disrupt your movement. Even just having the skill at level 1 is generally enough to prevent disruptions from most ally attacks. This is especially handy when multiple players are huddled together attacking a monster\u2019s weak point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you take into account that it\u2019s an official video from Capcom, it\u2019s kind of odd to see a hunter using a charge blade running around flinching at their allies\u2019 attacks. Or maybe they just wanted to demonstrate the importance of Flinch Free.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-002.jpg 900w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-002-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-002-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220726-211656-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The Lucent Nargacuga is a special subspecies of Nargacuga that has appeared in previous titles.
