Sonic Bombing: I've used it occasionally for Cephadrome in Unite, and more often for Diablos and Black Diablos. I also use it whenever I get a chance with Qurupeco - I don't want to risk G.I. Jho crashing the party, do I? The Rathalos Mask for Cha-Cha and Kayamba is often a saving grace on Qurupeco hunts.

Fishing: Um... Plesioth hardly ever notices my Frogs for some reason. It works for Gobul all the time, though. Maybe the big puffer-angler-catfish is just dumber than the shark wyvern. As for Zamtrios - are there, like, holes in the ice to fish him out of or something? I've never seen anyone fish a Zamtrios.

Flash Bombing: I never use them. Except when they're given to me, in which case I just toss them at a monster's face and watch them completely ignore it.

Sleep Bombing: The only Alatreon I ever managed to kill was a victim of the sleep bombing tactic. I don't know if that's good or just sad.

Baiting: I'm pretty sure that this tactic only useful for Jho. I've used it to great effect in all my Deviljho hunts, so I'm a fan of it. Plus, it's quite the clever idea, really. Although it's kind of a pity that G.I. Jho is the only monster stupid enough to consistently fall for that kind of thing.

Clust Spamming: Never use a Bowgun. Never have used a Bowgun. Never will use a Bowgun.

Any other tactics you like to use?

Yes, the one where I rush up to a monster and poke it with a pointy stick until it dies.

Are there any strategies here you don't like to use?

I like all of them somewhat, because they can all be useful against certain, otherwise-difficult monsters. But I don't usually use them.

Any ideas for other ideas that could be implemented in future MH games?

Um... back to you, Capcom. I got nothing.
