Your iframes do not start up the moment you roll. There's a window of a few frames (up to 4 I think, hard to determine exactly) where you have already used the stamina for the roll and yet you can still get hit and staggered.
the stagger proves I didn't tank the hit and roll late.
Fast dodge has the same problem still.
Shifting hollow is instant and it looks like you can even still dodge slightly AFTER the attack goes through you, at least on this tutorial enemy.

For those who dont play the game, armor pieces are the main source of skills, which is the majority of damage scaling in Monster Hunter, plus important utility. You also take like 12 times the damage compared to end-game armor so even chip damage is a one shot.
I have a lot to say. This was a journey of weeks filled with many hours of attempts every day, and just as last time, Im not fully satisfied with the result.
I did not get to show his second mega combo in final phase, mostly because I kept dying to it. Those rock cones are way too large and wind wave from melee is already cursed. And thats not to mention the projectiles firing at the same time. The rest of the combo is fine, though.
In the final phase I played pretty poorly, mostly due to nerves. I lost many runs there. I both missed punishes and overcommitted stupidly, which couldve easily caused my death, as he has some crazy fast teleport attacks. They are really hard to react to, but still possible. Easier with Evade Window since you can dodge a lot later and the direction isnt as important.
The talisman was modded in, but not an unreasonable find. The only difference between this and legitimate ones is I could add another point in bladescale hone. It is not necessary, as2 points provides enough to keep purple, but the lack of consistency was annoying. I dont understand why it has to be a chance, instead of just giving you 25% less sharpness back.
I was also trying to play by TA rules with the exception of Dango Adrenaline, so I didnt use the marionette spider or sleep toad, but it turns out the bugs you hit on the wall with wyvern riding are also disallowed.

Presumably unintended because its a one way trip, the only one in the game. The real solution is much simpler and starts elsewhere.
Get the game, its a (somewhat flawed) masterpiece. It only bares its flaws if you go for 100% though, the end-game grind to hunt down all the snowmen is anything but a breeze.

Actually my second (flawless) no roll kill on him, but the first one was sloppy so I redid it. Then... this happened.
I put jump in brackets in the title because I was playing with jumps, otherwise his stomp is just not dodgeable outside of specific situations. Its hard even with a jump.")

Felt too passive phase 2, but its really risky because of the fast stomp. The hitbox is massive. With jumping you can be a lot more aggressive comfortably, or maybe if you figure out the AI.")
