ok my favorite kind of elder dragons are the parasitic ones since we actually see what harm they’re capable of doing outside of being told they’re harmful to the environment and i really have to give props to blackveil vaal hazak since he’s easily the best “roaming” elder dragon (aside from the magalas because honestly there was so much done with gore that no elder dragon can stand on the level of showing that domino effect).

see the problem i have with roaming ones is you barely see what they do unless it’s story stuff and worldborne was MASSIVE missed opportunity. they tried remedying this by having extreme weather whenever they’re around (except in the elder’s recess at least it’s insanely hard to tell) but while yeah extreme weather is bad…. it looks way too natural. teostra in particular makes this really obvious by having things in the wildspire wastes look a little warmer. wow so cool clearly a massive problem. we do see what elder dragons are capable of in fights of course but some of it is harder to depict without their own unique arenas. nergigante is the one we see the most but really nergie’s more of the real hero since he actually y’know kills and eats other elder dragons so aside from the affect of potentially scaring some off from their territory he’s the least harmful. and has been fighting them off for years and is what helps regulate elder dragon populations so really the demonization of him is very very fabricated after the initial zorah storyline. only closest one is velkhana but she’s actually pretty passive outside of story stuff. most of the ones in world kinda just mind their own business anyways.

but vaal is built different.

(anyways big ramble beneath the cut)

you can already see the effects of what his presence has brought about the second you get to the rotten vale without even meeting him. effluvium is nearly everywhere and a ton of the small monsters are coated in the stuff which does harm them, and when you do fight vaal you see him fuck up those lil guys repeatedly even outside the introduction cutscene. he also has the best elder dragon theme in world no contest. only problem is that he’s pretty easy??? all he has is the effluvium to prove a real threat so popping on anti effluvium decorations simplifies the entire fight. he moves slow, acts slow, the ai isn’t particularly good, and though he hits hard it is relying heavily on if you have your health cut.

blackveil is somehow infinitely more terrifying than a massive mesh of rotting flesh and is absurdly unique

this is what happens when black mold mixes with cordyceps and it’s so fitting for what vaal hazak is. kinda surprising we haven’t had a fungi based monster until him at least in mainline (might’ve been one that existed before that i’m forgetting). but it’s more than just appearance that makes this thing horrifying. while another chill unless provoked monster, the damage has already been done once you first encounter him.

the entirely of the great forest’s deepest depths are covered in spores and before meeting him you see a bunch of familiar monsters caked in it. the atmosphere is dreary, at least the forest floor choked by sickly mold. he doesn’t even attack you when you finally get the run in, rather moving past you like you were never there. worst part? effluvium resistance doesn’t save you—it only removes one problem. he attacks faster while still hitting hard, each breath spewing more and more of that mold, further covering the foliage and whatever creature is unfortunate enough to be caught in the crossfire, chipping away at your health. you step in the pale patches, you start taking damage at a relatively rapid pace.

then there’s that ultimate move, where blackveil puffs itself up. most elder dragons when they do this call for the player to get as far away as possible. not with him. he covers such a wide range that, unless you farcast, you will get stuck traversing through a sea of spores. the only “safe” space is right beside the beast, aka the last place you want to be, since he can easily hit you.

this is straight up some of the most anxiety inducing stuff in mainline monster hunter and does show that killing it isn’t enough. the spores don’t magically disappear. it sticks, and all you got rid of was the source… until you return to the forest in any quest or expedition he isn’t in, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t any threat. that’s just a gameplay thing. thinking on a logistical level, were hunts to have a visible effect within the world, yeah that shit isn’t clearing for awhile.

this is how roaming elder dragon fights should be, and it’s easily the greatest one to come out of post old school monsters.

#sorry i just need to obsess over him for a second #this fight fucking rules #shantien rambles #monster hunter

Round 1 Part 1 Matchups

Amazingly, I somehow managed to decide to do this the exact same day as a new Monster Hunter game got announced, so it goes without saying that any Wilds monsters that happen to get revealed are not going to make it into the bracket (maybe I can do a bonus round or something if this goes on long enough, idk). Now, before I actually get to the matchups, there are a few things I need to get out of the way first

First off, since there are 232 monsters in this tournament, and 232 isn't a power of 2, the top 24 seeded monsters will be getting a bye, meaning they will not be appearing in Round 1. These include: Fatalis, Crimson Qurupeco, Abyssal Lagiacrus, Apex Diablos, Monoblos, Dreadking Rathalos, Beotodus, Nibelsnarf, Flaming Espinas, Vaal Hazak, Lagiacrus, Drilltusk Tetsucabra, Plesioth, Qurupeco, Apex Rathian, Barroth, Daimyo Hermitaur, Tzitzi-Ya-Ku, Desert Seltas, Emerald Congalala, Namielle, Shen Gaoren, Nightcloak Malfestio, and Pukei-Pukei. As stated in the original post, this tournament has been seeded randomly, and these were the 24 monsters that ended up getting byes.

Secondly, as the title of this post suggests, Round 1 will be broken up into 2 parts. This is honestly moreso because of tumblr than because of any workload issue; I'd like to have the matchup post have a link to every match in the round, but after all the byes there are 104 matches this round, and a tumblr post can only have a maximum of 100 links. This means if I did all of round 1 at once, some matches would be missing links. Regardless, 52 matches at once is a more reasonable number to handle so I won't be complaining too much. Part 1 matches will begin being posted on the 16th, and Part 2 matchups will be announced after Part 1 is finished.

Next, there's the matter of poll length. Personally I was leaning towards having tournament polls be 1 week long, but I'm unsure. So I'm going to let you all decide, 1 day polls or 1 week polls?

Lastly, as mentioned above, this post will be periodically updated with links to matches as they get posted (assuming I actually remember to update this). The matches themselves will also be tagged as Round 1 Poll in case you prefer finding them that way. With all that said, here are the first 52 matches of Round 1:

Astalos Vs. Redhelm Arzuros

◟❄️◝ * ELDER DRAGONS & THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE WORLD.

ELDER DRAGONS are entities that are revered as gods and divinities. While their original form is largely accepted as that of beasts or wyverns, they can present themselves in whatever form they desire and it is unknown what their true form actually is. It is rumoured that ever since the days of old, they held power above all else. In every meaning of the word, they could twist and bend fate to their own will.

It is them who first have shared their blessings with humans and humanoids, granting them powers of vice and virtue. Most common were those of elemental manipulation and its subcategories. However, it is still unknown to what extent the Elder's blessings go.

IN THE DAYS OF OLD, it was the divine who welcomed humankind with open arms as they first stepped foot on this earth. With the gift of their blessings, it didn't take long for many to devote themselves to the beasts and enacting their will. Though it took even less time for them to show their true colours — as man fundamentally is a creature of greed and corruption. Mankind decided that the power bestowed upon them was not enough — they wanted more. They wanted everything.

War ensued as god fought against man and ultimately, great losses were suffered on both sides. While some Elder Dragons regained control, some entered a truce with their people and others were subdued or simply vanished. Though ultimately, the outcome was that the end of the war marked the beginning of a new era — the one of the people.

TODAY — Against all odds, divinity had been overthrown and the earth's people are their own master, reigning their own kingdoms and fighting their own wars. Though their sources are not wholly extinguished, Divine Blessings are few and far between. An act of defiance, after getting thrown off their throne. There‘s still a select few Elder Dragons who still grant powers and are involved with mankind — whether it be through being the oppressor or oppressed. However, they don't have a lot of use for it anymore.

Ever since the fallout, research and experiments have been conducted in order to replicate the Elder's powers. Though not as efficient and powerful as its original, modern technology has allowed those born with nothing to seize power for themselves. It is not only the blessing of old that can be injected, but aether allowing one to wield magic as well. Technology and science is progressing at the fastest pace documented in history, and it's only a matter of time to see where man's own greed will lead him.

I've been avoiding bringing it up to my partner cus it feels SUPER cringe but I cannot get the image out of my head that my self insert in MHW had my partner's self-insert leading them around and helping them with their whole adventure...

And witnessing firsthand the fact that they had the powers of God and Plot Armour on their side lmao. His insert is a "super grumpy old man" looking guy so he's probably mad as hell his ward is so fucking scared of everything despite being diagnosed with Main Character Syndrome at 5.

"Bazelgeuse is my paralysis demon" and yet you took down Velkhana... You took down a Blackveil Vaal Hazak... Kulve Taroth falls before you... You demolished the freakazoid we call Shara Ishvalda with its WEIRD PLAYER-PERCIEVING EYES...

...and you're scared of BAZELGEUSE.

Blackveil Vaal Hazak fuckin sucks with lance, man. Just like Velkhana it just runs away and does breath attacks. Except instead of it all being unblockable without Guard Up, I can block some of them but then get hit with ground effects anyway.

"Malzeno, I'm back." Velkhana just waved at the other having brought Xeno who was more curious about the wind than anything and Namielle who was still completely innocent about Amatsu and Vaal Hazak.

He doesn't even need to know, looks like the winds are picking up everywhere. "Guess it's a party at my place, hmm?" He'll gladly keep Gore, Xeno, & apparently Namielle now as well, ignorant of what's going on in Kamrua for as long as possible.

"Friends!!" Gore is simply happy to have others around again. They seem to have not picked up on why the winds are high today, even as far as the Citdatel. "Hi Xeno! Hi Velkhana! Hi... uh... new friend!"

Finally got the Monster Hunter Rise demo todaaaaaay!

I am NOT HAPPEH with how insect glaive plays on the Switch at all. I am quite upset with this because I love glaive. I love my bugs. I love flying through the air without a care and being the Mounting Queen.

I am quite enjoying Hunting Horn though. Hunting Horn has always been my backup weapon for cases when glaive just won’t get the job done in MH World (looking at you, Kushala, you buttshot.) My sister is also quite enjoying the Light Bowgun.

I buff, she knocks monsters on their butts. Hell yes.

#sienna rambles #monster hunter #monster hunter rise #also mizutsune killed me like eight times but I finally murdered her and she might be my new favorite so far #Vaal Hazak and Velkhana #I am sorry but I has new love #perhaps we can still carpool

Round 2: Velkhana Vs. Agnaktor

Velkhana (Elder Dragon)

Previous matches: Vs. Rust Duramboros

Appears in: Iceborne, Sunbreak

Known as the "Ice Dragons that Freeze All" or the "Iceborne Wyvern," few records of Velkhana exist, as such, they remain shrouded in mystery. Their icy breath is so cold that it can form massive spires and walls of ice out of nowhere, and it is even powerful enough to freeze other monsters. Some reports indicate that Velkhana will freeze their rivals in order to establish their domain. -Sunbreak

Vs.

Agnaktor (Leviathan)

Previous matches: Vs. Blackveil Vaal Hazak

Appears in: 3, Portable 3rd, 3 Ultimate, Generations, Generations Ultimate

Also known as fire-pike wyverns, Agnaktor use their tough beaks and great strength to burrow effortlessy through rock, and can even burrow into ceilings. Their hardened-lava armor becomes even harder when cooled forming an almost impenetrable armor. -Generations Ultimate
