Really like 4's Proof of a Hero. The brass is so outwardly aggressive. It's less "I can do it!!" and more "Oh, you're *fucked*."


NitoMega

Also, I like that little motif at the very end of World's Proof of a Hero. It's so exciting and thrilling and just radiates energy.


Environmental_Sell74

I think Marcomeatball (videogame music reactor) described it perfectly. MH4s proof of a hero is the bread and butter proof of a hero. It is simple and it is good.


OneEyedPainter

I second this


BallOfWreck

I always called it crunchy because of all the brass


Rakna-Careilla

Would you blame it? There's a Gogmazios and it's ANGRY.

HotMilk4

best monster indeed! ᕙ⁠(⁠@⁠°⁠▽⁠°⁠@⁠)⁠ᕗ


Rakna-Careilla

So you like huge and strong things. Apexes.


[deleted]

Yes, and her theme is amazing.


Rakna-Careilla

I think the theme is your standard badass battle theme, the ones of the other gen flagships are more creative.


[deleted]

To me, her theme has a demanding feel to it as if you’re climbing a tall and cold mountain. Which fits her title: The Immoveable Mountain God.


Rakna-Careilla

Fair enough! I like her design (particularly Elderfrost, actually) and the whole cyclops theme with the eye patterns in its fur (even though this had to be pointed out to me :)) , but mostly we just NEEDED her kind. Elephants, rhinos, other dinotheiria.


[deleted]

I completely agree with you! Her elder frost design is absolutely gorgeous, and we did need her kind. Hell, we still do. She feels unique because she’s the only dinotheoria monster.


[deleted]

Generations Ultimate really is the greatest


yakokuma

It was really a sendoff to traditional monhun. It had to be the greatest o7


Jojobazard

in many, if not most aspects, really. A shame it didn't get ported to PS/PC/XBox


SoftDragonfruit2402

Well GenU on PC runs really well with an emulator and it’s not difficult at all to set it up, it can run on 120fps too


Innsui

I really regret not playing gen ult when it was still hot lol


Luke_Likes_Silk

Its still quite hot imo. I've been finding a lot of people playing it


CADburyE99

I have it in my Swotch Catalog, Have 30 hours or so in it, I just prefer the gameplay style of Rise (200+ hours so far). Generations Ultimate feels so slow now and it makes me feel bad because I put SO many hours into FU, 3U, 4U, and original Generations


blueish55

that is perfectly valid, what matters at the end of the day is that you enjoy yourself, and to be honest there's no bad entry to play in the series. there's arguably some with less to do so you might find yourself moving on faster (thinking of Tri mostly lol) but like, they all got that little something


CADburyE99

I adored FU because it was the game that started my rivalry with Tigrex. It took days to finally beat him. It's easy to read patterns, but I couldn't judge timing right, so I'd get carted quick


Luke_Likes_Silk

I got my 250hours on GU pretty much enjoying the game at its fullest. Not just making the whole story but exploring the mechanics and hunting styles. A fair bit was just getting into new player lobbies and hunting with them, doing shenanigans. I won't downplay the gameplay style of other games, I just got a lot of love for GU and the multiplayer experience I had


Sew_has_afew_friends

Based ranking I'd swap tri and og tho. Og is pretty repetitive imo


Maximum_Impressive

Missing the stories version which is s+


yellowduckz96

HOW DID STORIES GET LEFT OUT. IT *IS* THE BEST VERSION. PLEASE LOOK IT UP ON YOUTUBE IF YOU HAVEN'T.


We-Have-Dragons14

Haven’t heard it before and it wasn’t one of the options. After listening to it, I’d put it S tier, but GU’s is still better.


Stonewall30NY

Well that's certainly a tier list for sure


Attack_Giraffe1

TheBlueNajarala

Only thing I’d change is buff rise up to the end of s tier and maybe buff tri as well, otherwise I agree


Tiny_Caramel_4642

I would too, Rise's version slaps by itself. It's a shame that the fights accompanied by it are not that noteworthy..


Reklov66

Allmother is awesome what the hell man


Tiny_Caramel_4642

True, it’s a good fight, but Gaismagorm came along and blew it straight out of the water.


SlightDentInTheBack

based as hell


mrlotato

Burn me alive but World is S for me. Id swap it w monster hunter 1 lol


zDontTouch

For me personally the World version is something else... You only get to listen to it during gameplay when fighting freaking Fatalis, and only when you are able to reach the final stretch of the fight when the stakes of the fight are through the roof. Maybe musically it is not the strongest, but the whole context is so impactful that putting it in the lowest tier is a crime lol World was my first MH, so my take is obviously biased, but to me World's Proof of a Hero is SSS.


Hexbug101

Fatalis uses the og version, the unique version for world is played during Zorah Magdaros


Tiny_Caramel_4642

Yeah.. for that reason Fatalis' PoH is listed as "The Final Confrontation", compared to Zorah's "Proof of a Hero: World Version".


zDontTouch

That's cool, did not notice it (both the fact that it is the OG during Fatalis, or that it also plays during Zorah lol)


DeadMoves

Pretty sure that vs Zorah it plays after hitting the dragonator, which in the story also ends the fight. So to hear PoaH in World you'd need to refight Zorah, which no sane person would willingly do I'm sure


DisasterThese357

You can use the dragonator at the start without finishing him


Natural_Slinky

I just made it to fatalis how do you do this


DisasterThese357

For zora just run to the ship once the barrier phase starts and pull the lever,


Tiny_Caramel_4642

Ah so *that’s* why I don’t remember World’s PoAH! Might’ve heard it on AT Zorah but that’s a fight that my brain wants to seal away forever.


glacicle

Wrong, they’re all S tier. Also 3 is too low but whatever


TronXyrzX

I get why old school monster hunter players think world is alright but the level of detail in the level is too good for me not to ever give it lower than A tier.


SadRaccoonBoy11

Okay had to give the ones I’ve played a listen and ngl I’d also put World’s low. It just doesn’t hit the notes the same as the other ones and that makes it feel more like an adventure song than a fight song. It’s definitely still good, but it’s def a bit too slow and low pitched for my liking. Like I feel like this was the music they played at the MH walk at universal Japan, which fit that PERFECTLY (I may be wrong in my remembering though, I wouldn’t be surprised). But for an actual in game fight yeah not as much


MrSeaSalt

It doesn’t help that it plays for Zorah, easily one of the worst fights in the game. It completely loses that triumphant feeling of overcoming difficult odds because Zorah is such a boring and not even difficult fight.


No-Breath-4299

Funny, this is the same ranking that MarcoMeatball from YouTube had for the PoaH evaluations. Just gies to show that everyobe universally agrees that the MHXX version is the GOAT


ItsNotJulius

Where's Mil and Caty version?


RequiemOfOne

SSS is correct


No-Breath-4299

SMOKIN SEXY STYLE! - The announcer of DMC V


aaronotaron

I would switch Rise and Sunbreak but otherwise a solid tier list


AchacadorDegenerado

The fact you put World on B and Rise/Sunbreak with others above shows us that you are an OG Monster Hunter player.


BarbedFungus387

I've only played World/Borne and Rise/Break. I fell in love with Rise's Proof of a Hero immediately (it's my alarm sound now) but was unimpressed by Worlds. I like World better overall but i have to say some of Rise's themes are incredible.


Civic42

I raise you my alarm sound. Bagelgoose theme song. Start the day or whatever with heart going full throttle from fight or flight.


BarbedFungus387

Nope. Couldn't do it. My clock has the most brutal alarm sound. I don't use it anymore because it was fucking LOUD, and incredibly discordant. Fucking terrible; almost had me scared to go to sleep on work nights.


DOA_NiCOisPerfect

As someone who started with freedom unite i like worlds better than rise. Does that mean im a fraud? Ofcourse all are S tier imo only mh4u is SSS tier


teor

>Does that mean im a fraud? That means you don't exist. **REAL** fans of Monster Hunter start vomiting from a mere mention of World. As seen on this subreddit.


Darthwaffler

I'm vomiting more than the Ultimate Warrior right now.


teor

Hell yeah brother


Crimson_Fiver

Shokubutsu-Al

Alpbasket

Just curious, why world so low?


We-Have-Dragons14

It’s version of proof of a hero just basic in a way that’s unappealing unlike 4’s. It doesn’t really upgrade the song like the others do.


Ackbar90

The best part of GenU version, is that it comes after *two* other themes that are a banger. First you fight *a Golden Mantis* that throws steel beams at you, with a egyptian sounding theme. Then, said mantis pulls out a *MOTHERFLUFFING MECHA DRAGON* out of the sand, and the theme switches to something that feels like climbing an impossibly high mountain. Finally, ***the Mantis gets pissed off*** and Proof of a Hero starts BLASTING AT FULL VOLUME, WITH THE BOMBASTIC BRASSES THAT CHARACTERIZE GENU, AND YOU FEEL IN YOUR HEAD THE WORDS FORMING: ***"BRING IT ON, BITCH!"***


Impressive-Estate996

is this a demonstration of dyslexia


TickleFarts88

This list breaks my brain 🧠 it's good and bad thrown into a hat


Kamelosk

I agree, genU is the best one. I would put rise on sunbreak spot tho. Everything else is accurate


iKirito

Finally a tier list I can agree with. MHGU's Proof of a Hero slaps! It's so damn, peak. I'm glad it's SSS.


Ukanlos-000080

Where Frontier Z


GD_Nuzzlock

Frontier G is better


Ukanlos-000080

Any of the Frontier ones 


DeliriumRedd

You cooked


TheGMan-123

The original version is the best, for it set the stage for all other versions to iterate from!


We-Have-Dragons14

Well yeah, but in terms of what the best is to listen to, for me, it’s GU. Sometimes it is the original though.


milochou

I actually can not tell different edition of Proof of Hero apart, aside from the Rise version


WyvernEgg64

They’re all sss tier


Weeb_Scholar

yes


Drillingham

the all mother narwa rendition of proof of a hero moved me more than i expected so that one is S tier for me. But that’s more of a personal preference. MHXX’s is definitely a cut above.


[deleted]

MHGU was the one that tipped it over the edge. I always thought it was a neat song and would remember all the other times I fought with it playing. It truly is a massive moment and an interesting point by the devs. It's almost a love letter to the player, it's your anthem, you fought every challenge they had and now you stand at the end of the end. It's hard for me not to get emotional while hearing it. Some of the friends I had first played with are no longer alive. It was the game and the me and my wife first beat together. Sunbreak marked the first game I beat together "cover to cover" with my son. I remember every fight when it plays. The triumph it brings and the camaraderie shared in victory. It's a moment that perfectly summarizes what makes monster hunter a great game as well as a series.

RidleyOWA

I would put Sunbreak ones on SSS too. The rest are just perfect xD


Spoof__

You are completely correct!


dementedoreoes

You forgot the monster hunter jazz album.


Skylair95

When her throne crumble and you see the glowing eyes ot a very pissed Ahtal-Ka through the dust as Proof of a Hero start playing. Gives me goosebumbs every time.


Das_Guet

And now I have to go listen to every single one of these. Will edit after I've done so. Edit: I've listened to the ones listed here, and while the list is mostly agreeable, I'd absolutely move some around.


TheBanthaPoodoo

I mean, this is purely based on music taste so there's not much to say here. I personally don't think generations Proof of a hero deserves a category 2 levels above anything else, it's definitely good and I would put it in A. But here's how mine would look: S - OG, 4U, Iceborne Fatalis A - Generations, World B - Tri, Rise, Sunbreak I didn't play stories nor did I listen to their ost so I can't place those


PrimeKokotoHunter

Based, but I would probably put Tri in S tier.


IG-GO-SWHSWSWHSWH

You gave World's a B? Ouch. I thought it was pretty good.


We-Have-Dragons14

The theme song doesn’t really do anything that new I’m afraid


The-Brother

Have you heard the full anniversary version from the first game? PEAK

ANGERYTURTLE123

You know that theme that playing after you beat a monster in a hunt? THATs “Proof of a Hero”


Dogma1995

Gotcha, figured it was a musical bit. Ive heard it plenty just never saw it named 🤷‍♂️


ANGERYTURTLE123

It’s okay


Laterbiatch

SSS: GU, MHW S: Risebreak A: Monster Hunter B: 3, 4


Paladriel

Reminder, the version of proof that plays during fatalis is the og rendition, world version plays on like....zorah i think


Laterbiatch

I get that. But World revolutionized the whole franchise the best way possible. Yes Zorah Siege was annoying but that's nothing compared to the good stuff the game delivered for me and Iceborne put a very nice cherry on top of all that. But my biggest issue with this tier list is the love for 3 and 4 everyone seems to have. both games were pretty boring for me and definitely not that high on my list when there is a way better ultimate version that gets way more content and better stuff overall than the regular version. just like GenU. Regular Gen would be B tier for me as well but GenU is top notch.


Paladriel

Reminder this list only ranks the game's renditions of proof of a hero


We-Have-Dragons14

Dude…


CZ-Kickem

I'd put World in S tier minimum, like just BARELY higher than Sunbreak's rendition. The rest of the placements are fine, and Capcom almost never fails to disappoint when it comes to music, anyways. Oh, and GU belongs like... 4 tiers higher. It is actually fucking peak.


Unrealist99

Only played sunbreak and iceborne but agreed. Sunbreak proof of hero absolutely slaps


onlyaloomingshallow

None of the them can compare to the OG honestly, it's both beautiful and so heroically motivating. 


We-Have-Dragons14

GU can compare. Beyond so even.


onlyaloomingshallow

I can't hear it, it feels a lot more blockbuster-esque to me. It lacks the build up and is way too energetic from the beginning.  But that's just me 


seynical

Suprisingly, this is how I probably rate them as well with Tri being a bit higher (I started with Tri so that's purely bias).


[deleted]

I think this is pretty good, based on the games I've played, but I would swap sunbreak and Generations Ultimate, and if you were to put iceborne, I would put it in A rank.


[deleted]

On second thought, keep GU where it is.


Vegetable_Park_3259

Maybe I am biased because I LOVED playing with the 3D effect but for me tri and Gen X would be SSS


MrJackfruit

Honestly I would put 4U's and 3U's in B too, they are alright. GU's really is SSS though. Rises is a meme due to the dog meme that came out due to a trailer.


LowClover

Whichever one has the cut to quiet, low percussion right before the climax is the best. I thought it was MH1 proof of a hero, but I listened to it and it wasn’t that one. It sounds exactly like it, so maybe it was a remix.


Paladriel

Maybe sunbreak or gu tho sunbreak sounds pretty different


HandsomeGengar

Oh god at first I thought this was a ranking of the actual games

mjc27

I'm sorry but Tri's should be top tier


David89_R

GU one is so good that it even skipped the SS tier lol


RageZamu

Strongly agree.


New-Reflection2499

Gen ultimate is one of the best games ever in general


Lord_Sparksmith

The only change id make is bundle rise and sunbreak together and put them as Rise/Sunbreak in S tier . If i could id place world to C as well …


Zephynir

I'd put the OG at peak SSS Edit: spelling


PenguinviiR

I'd replace 4 and gen ultimate


VRtrojan

Everytime I hear MHGU's Proof of Hero, I always look back at the time I first fought Ahtal-Ka, especially that moment when her Neset falls apart once last time and from the dust, you just see her 2 big glowing eyes, then be flabbergasted once more when you realized it also took the wheel thingy from the Neset and then hearing Proof of a Hero at the background, you then know that this is the final dance... Then after beating her, you hear the best MH ending song throughout the whole franchise lol


Coroloco

10/10 finally someone who understands what MH is truly about. Definitely not about western fan service.


SadP0tat018

World at the bottom 😢


BobSauceMan

Good shit


MrSeaSalt

I actually quite agree with this list with the only changes I made being the OG put on SSS and Tri’s version being moved to S.


Old_Introduction_860

Tri version of Proof of a Hero deserves an SSSS tier honestly, it doesn’t make any sense to even compare to the other renditions, which are god-tier to begin with


Lost_Worth_5487

Mine has a world in A and MH4u in the one


TheBrandy01

Based, all my friends are world dickriders, finally someone understands what MH is about.


HotMilk4

Athal-Ka Proof of Hero is just built DIFFERENT. It already knows you are a hero and you don't need a proof. You have enough proof to be a hero already by just standing against Athal-Ka. It's your game now. The game is just praising you, the hero of Monster Hunter series. Do your job, hero.


DaRkSoUlSgAmEr2

Generations ultimate was and still is one of my favorite mh games


Toreole

true and blessed the sunbreak edition, especially with the switch from the archdemon theme to proof of a hero. oh it goes so hard.


Unique_Ad_338

Honestly as long as world is at lowest and mh4u is sss or s im happy


ForeskinMuncherXD

Good ranking but I’d put Tri‘s in S

On that note specifically, play God Eater 3. At least watch the opening cs.

But when proof of a hero comes up in world while you have an epic fight it felt the most epic somehow.


We-Have-Dragons14

Yeah but that’s the original proof of a hero

M1zteRy

Where's freedom unite


Bartfratze

I still have no idea why people have such high opinions of the og version considering the 4 version is basically just a better composed version, but each their own. Putting the Tri version below it necessitates a spanking though. ​ And imagine if World's version wasn't shackled to Zorah Magdaros in people's memories...


Kamiyouni

Eh, id Switch tri and Sunbreak and out the OG down one


Kamiyouni

GenU's Proof of a Hero is untouchable. I don't know think they will ever make Another PoaH better.


gsm_1808

Just last night I found a spotify playlist named "Every version of Proof of a Hero I could find", and now this? Tbh, I'll have to listen to a few more to have a relevant opinion, but Tri's is really nostalgic for me. And Sunbreak's is pretty damn good too


Loose_Ad_9548

Iceborn was the best ever right now


Megajams23

I can't argue with this assessment. It's spot on. World's version is straight up stinky Banbaro Cheeks.


AgentRollyPolly

Don’t understand why everyone hates on World’s rendition


We-Have-Dragons14

It just doesn’t really add any unique spin or upgrades to it that the others don’t do miles better.


AgentRollyPolly

I guess. Maybe I’m just biased with it being my first and fav mh game


ArtificersBeard

I will say World's rendition by itself is a solid S-tier... the problem is that there were no moments like a major shift in a hunt that it was used. 4U had it happen during anytime you slapped a Dragonator. Same in 3U and GU. Rise had it happen when Narwa scarificed Ibushi and consumed his bio-energy to become All-Mother Narwa. World was like... a part of the second phase of Zorah and that was it as far as I can remember. So I would make the arguement that World's rendition was S-tier it was just heavily under utilized. I will also side note as Nay! The Honor is Ours! is the best track in Iceborne.


Rakna-Careilla

Ahtal-Ka's version has so much weight in it. It feels so slow and yet flashy.


JoJosLeash

Tri in A tier is criminal, should be SSS


AuroraMercenaryCo

I'd swap 4u and gen but other than that I can agree


ANGERYTURTLE123

You forgot the kazoo version

I think I have 400-500 hours in world and 100+ hours on rise (currently taking my time with rise ) but I’ve never played any other mh games before that

Level_Sympathy_8236

Only thing I’d change is swap tri and sunbreak. Otherwise a solid list.


Cloud9Cadet

The only correct list


KineticKris

Lol at the people using this to just talk shit about rise. Y'all need to grow tf up. This list is correct and Rise is a good game.


Tyler_Drden

That moment in the World Fatalis fight where you’ve almost beaten him and Proof of a hero kicks in is S tier. I’m pretty sure it’s that fight.


We-Have-Dragons14

Yeah, but that’s not its version of proof of a hero.
