Something of a note. As you probably all know, the Lance has Lance-specific versions of many skills (also has a minimum distance requirement for attacking but that's not what I'm getting at right now). One of those said skills is "Charge", which is dubbed "Assault" in KR in English. I'm sure a lot of you remember the "outrage" expressed by some that NA "changed" the name. I'm sure some of you remember that others came up with odd reasons as to why NA may have changed it (when really, "Charge" in KR is actually written with a Korean word [ëŒì§„] which basically means to dash/rush at something with aggressive intent). For the Lance specific charge though... the Korean actually spells out "Lansu chaju" ie Lance Charge. Gameabout has a nice list of skills and the various info to go with them (as well as mentioning a couple of new enchants with conditions specified to lance skills).
Re: Monster Hunter... lul. Tri was something of a departure from the usual series and P3rd makes a "return" of sorts. I will say though, if you get hit during rapid fire then you're doing it wrong. Gunning in general requires a fair bit of know-how to be done effectively. It's pretty funny when people show up at gamefaqs and ask how to get "reasonable times" with bowguns. Against certain monsters though and with the right setup... well, suffice to say Amatsu wants his hype back XD
