I\u2019ve been a long time fan of Monster hunter. And I DO mean long. We\u2019re talking over a decade here. I\u2019ve been with the series almost since its inception, only first going hands on fully with Monster Hunter Freedom on PSP, tho, I did dabble with the original PS2 release as well.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a very short hand description of my familiarity with the series, but to call me just \u201ca fan\u201d is an understatement. That said, I don\u2019t think I will EVER be so much a fan (let alone as good at the game) as YouTube channel Team Darkside<\/a> is.<\/p>\n

Team Darkside<\/a> is an interesting channel. They do, what I would describe as the closest thing to \u201cspeed running\u201d in a Monster Hunter game, and boy are they good at what they do! They have a knack for making this incredibly challenging and rewarding series look easy and pathetic\u2026 and I mean that in the best of ways!<\/p>\n

They have been at it for years, and each new video only ends up being more impressive as they go. They push this series to its limits in ways that words can\u2019t really describe.  There\u2019s a LOT to unpack here when it comes to things like math and \u201cdamage multipliers\u201d and \u201cmotion values\u201d and other technical jargon that most gamers would never really seek to understand, instead, they would just kind of accept as being part of how the game works.<\/p>\n

The video I\u2019m posting here is a perfect example of what I mean by this. Check out this amazingly in-depth video showing how they were able to get the ABSOLUTE HIGHEST SINGLE HIT DAMAGE in the game. PERIOD. It\u2019s insane. Check this video out! You won\u2019t be sorry. However, you might need to pick your chin up off the floor and figure out a way to stop your head from spinning! Seriously, the amount of time and effort that went into this video must have been LEGENDARY!<\/p>\n
