Longsword - Helm Foresight Cancel

Longsword – Helm Foresight Cancel (MH Wilds, REFramework)TL;DR:

After Helm Breaker, you can now spam Foresight Slash in the air, and it will be the first grounded action that comes out, without the excessive delay the game imposes on it. Spirit Release Slash is prevented from stealing your inputs. Similar to MH Rise.

What this mod does:

This mod tweaks the Longsword cancel behavior after Helm Breaker:

• []Foresight Slash

  []Shares the same grounded cancel window as Iai / Special Sheathe (the “normal” follow-up window after Helm).

  []Gains an extra delay (configurable, default 425 ms) from when that window first opens.

  []This delay is just long enough for Helm Breaker’s landing multihits to finish, preventing Foresight from cancelling Helm’s damage.

• []Is disabled while in the air, so you can spam R1 + Circle during Helm’s aerial phase without accidentally triggering Spirit Release.

  []On the ground, during the early part of the Iai window (same delay as Foresight), Spirit Release is temporarily suppressed.

  → This gives Foresight priority as the first grounded follow-up if you were mashing in the air.

• []Perform Helm Breaker.

  []Mash Foresight input (R1 + Circle) while falling.

  []Helm does its full multihit landing damage.

  []As soon as your “safe” window opens, Foresight Slash comes out first, nice and smooth.

  []Spirit Release still works as a follow-up, but no longer eats your buffered Foresight in that early window.

• []Install REFramework for Monster Hunter Wilds.

  []Download this mod.

  []Place the Lua file into:

  []MonsterHunterWilds/reframework/autorun/

  []Launch the game.

  []Open REFramework overlay → Script Generated UI → tweak settings if desired.

  No native files are replaced. This is entirely script-based.

  Compatibility
  • []Only touches:

    []app.motion_track. Wp03Cancel:myFlagsToCancelFlags (Longsword cancel flags).

    []Reads app. HunterCharacter stand state for the local LS user.

  []Should be compatible with most other mods as long as they don’t also hook Wp03Cancel and overwrite the same cancel flags each frame.

  [*]Load order between multiple REFramework scripts that modify Longsword cancels may matter; if you collide with another LS cancel mod, they may fight over the same flags.
