My idea for fist weapons MHWilds
As we know the 14 weapons currently within monster hunter, are in a decently tight equilibrium, you cant really say that one weapon is better than the other. So, if you were to add large gorilla fist weapons that would make hammer useless/less interesting, if you added the small, mobile fist weapons then sns and dual blades would lose a lot of their fans.
To try make a compromise, I think if fist weapons were to ever be added, it should be hyper reliant on combos, as in you have to do a 5 or 6 button combo to do any meaningful damage. Of course there can be a grace period for the combo string, like if you dodge an attack, you have 3 or 4 seconds to start the combo again.
This will make this weapon pretty difficult to learn, but then again cb mains exist, so players wont take too long to figure out how it works. Skills like burst and maximum might will be great for this idea of fist weapons too. And yes the akuma spec exists, but come on, we want an actual weapon not a special item.
If anyone had a similar idea or something close, please tell me about it I want to know your ideas. Im not sure if this topic has been discussed before so apologies if I sound like im copying someone.
