Create a Simple Sound Mod for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne

Description

After seeing this reddit thread and how easy the Offensive Guard skill is to activate (even myself when playing Charge Blade) I had a random thought to create a mod for Iceborne. As a lover of Devil May Cry 5 and how this also-Capcom-game has been wonderfully produced, I want to create a simple mod that will replace the Offensive Guard activation sound with the DMC5 Royal Guard perfect parry sound. As a result, this will also force me to practice Guard Points when playing Charge Blade in attempt to reproduce some SMOKIN SICK STYLE-ing on some major monsters in the Iceborne expansion! https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/esf2g2/offensive_guard_is_a_beautiful_skill_to_activate/
