you just have to get used to the animation timings. from what i played of the beta MHW is a lot like dark souls (or vice versa?) in regards to combat. every action is very deliberate. if you press a button twice, that long, slow attack will come out twice. mashing won't get you far and in fact might result in a bad situation. once you learn all your attack animations you can be as surgical as you wish
