HR means not so much

MHGU is my first real Monster Hunter.
I toyed a bit with Tri back in the Wii days, but it never really clicked with me. Also, I shamefully admit I was so bad I rage quit because of the fucking Royal Ludroth and never played it again.

Yeah, my current lab rat for testing new weapons and styles made me quit many years ago.

When I was just high rank in GU, sometimes a magical being descended from heavens and graced us with his HR 100ish and made our hunts way faster.
There were legends among us that there existed even more higher beings. Something like HR 300+ and even HR 999.
Fast forward some weeks and I found myself suddenly being HR 107 when I unlocked my Hunter Rank by beating Ahtal-Ka. That's when I realized HR 100+ people could be stupid noobs just like me.

Hurr durr... you guys kill the monster while I'm rolling at the opposite side of the map.

Funny story time. I was around HR 250 when I posted my first EX; the Snowbaron. I had like 90 hunts against him (around 85 of them solo), mostly soloed him up to G5 and I wasn't really fond on doing the G5 quest (the one with the Deviljho), let alone the EX.
But one day I saw the light in the form of some really shitty random I found in a charm farm room. The guy was a HR 108 longsword user that kept tripping me over and over again. It was like that asshole was doing it on purpose, because when I moved around so he couldn't trip me, he moved towards me again.
That's when I said "If an idiot like that can have a little crown by his name, of course I can have mine too!". And a few hours later I had beaten my first Snowbaron EX after one failed attempt and almost failing a second one (fortunately, not because of me though. As I said, I payed my dues killing around 85 Snowbarons solo).

Nowadays I'm one of those fabled HR 700+ guys, but it even though now I'm an actually capable player, I occasionally blunder in many really stupid and shameful ways.

Yeah... I got my ass handed by a fucking Great Maccao and two pieces of trash... at HR 700.

Sometimes I find really awesome HR 70's and really terrible HR 400's that seem to have been carried to that level by others.

And... I don't really know what's the point of all this rant. I think this is the result of collecting all my memories on my very self and people I have played with.
