1) I Like them, makes MH Games more fresh, they're spectacular and may resolve some of your personal issues with certain weapons along with styles!

2) Unfortunately not, most of them are good or even great, others are pretty bad like Provoke with Hammer (just useless) or Aerial Slam with DB (Only possible if a Monster is close to a ledges, but unfortunately not all areas have ledges).

3) I guess and I hope so, sure, they aren't exactly the most realistic thing in MH, but MH isn't 100% realistic so it's fine.

4) I Just use my favorite arts depending by the Weapons, completely ignoring generic arts except for Absolute Readiness when I use Striker style.

5) Sakura Slash for LS is my favorite because is fast and the delayed damage may stagger the monster in some good situation, also the damage is good too. Other Arts that I really like are: Critical Juncture (LS, massive damage), Ground Smash (GS, I like its piercing effect), Round Force (SnS, fast, Wide range and also gives a good i-frame), Blood Wind (DB, Awesome if combined with Wolf's Maw), Wolf's Maw (DB, your attacks hits twice? Just OP), Bug Blow (IG, but only if combined with Swarm), Extract Hunter (IG, a ranged Attack that gives to you all the extract? Awesome!), Supernova (HBG, the name says everything) and Blade Wire (Bow, finally a good method for cutting tails with Bow).

6) Brimstone Slash (GS, the damage may be insane, but takes too much time to perform it), Sword Dance (SnS, just because takes too much time to fill the gauge and the art isn't that impressive), Aerial Slam (DB, already explained), Provoke (Hammer, already explained) and Dragon Blast (GL, seems that doesn't make any damage).

7) No, some Weapons have arts that are pretty Unbalanced, others sucks... For what I know LS and IG are the Weapons where all of their arts are somewhat interesting, but I don't know about other weapons like CB.

8) Yes, are they called Finishers, right?

9) An art for LS that release a wind blade, piercing damage. An art for GL that fires an Agnaktor-like Beam. An art for GS where ever hit on the Monster's head, count as stunning hit.

10) The new arts for GS, LS, SnS, DB and IG seems interesting, but also the new arts for CB and LBG may be great too!

11) Would be terrible, and it's a shame that there are some arts that works fine only if combined with each other (Swarm and Bug Blow and something with SA IIRC)

12) This would destroy MH... I mean imagine if DB would do Wolf's Maw much like a normal move, DB would probably be extremely OP or if LS could do Critical Juncture without any gauge or CB with more phials...
