This is very well done. I voted on your moveset as well, and I think it is Great. It did a few things similarly to my moveset but a lot of things were different as well. I liked the idea with the forward smash; I used the Great Sword for the up aerial attack and had it sweetspot in the middle of the blade much like in the Monster Hunter games where striking with the middle of the blade yielded a damage bonus. I too made Monster Hunter's jump height rather low and his up special utilize the Insect Glaive; I gave the Insect Glaive Vault better recovery when used in the air than you did and it can meteor smash opponents below the Monster Hunter; I really liked the idea of using the pheromone bullet as propulsion though, that was very interesting and used the weapon's other attributes very nicely! My moveset's jab was the same as yours, though it also included the unsheathing/lunge attack from the Sword and Shield and it did less damage because the Sword and Shield has the lowest damage output of all the melee weapons in MH, so I wanted to reflect this. I absolutely loved your up aerial and down aerial; the projectile attacks would help Monster Hunter with follow-ups since their jump height is so poor. I also used the Long Sword for forward tilt, Dual Blades for dash attack, and Hammer for a smash attack; I gave the hammer high shield damage since it deals Impact damage in the MH games and it could leave monsters dizzy when it strikes their head, and well, characters become dizzy when their shield breaks, so I thought it was fitting. I used a Tonfa attack for an aerial as well, though it was a bit different, being the aerial kick attack that could be used when the Tonfa are equipped in MH. I gave the kick a greater horizontal distance rather than vertical so that it could assist in recovery, as my Monster Hunter has poor lateral movement in the air, which is also why I gave them a side special that allowed them to move more horizontally. I've got a few other cool uses for their moves in mine, but I'll let you read that. I really liked your use of the Spirit Blade attacks in the side special here; I had wanted to work them into the moveset somehow but I just didn't know enough about how they worked. I can see that you put more canonical reference into your moveset than I did; this is perhaps because you are more familiar with the Monster Hunter games than I am, though I am sure there are a few moves in mine that are canonical without me really realizing it. Sorry about the big wall of text, I tend to ramble, haha. All in all, I really liked this moveset!
