As far as I'm concerned It took me much more times to defeat Alatreon in solo (with great sword) in Tri than defeating White Fatalis in MHFU, tough White Fatalis is still a difficult boss.

In fact 3rd generation monsters are overall faster and agiler than monsters from previous MH games but they deal less damages and sometimes have less HP. Moreover hitboxes in previous MH were sometimes truly unfair (remember Plesioth's hipcheck). But if 3rd generation monsters could deal more damage some of them could become great challenges. Tri's Barioth (not the Barioth from 3rd) with Tigrex's attack in MHFU/MHF2 would become even more difficult.

And in some ways, Alatreon is harder than White Fatalis, because it is much faster and you have to be very careful if you solo it, or else he can chain you easily (much like Teostra/Kushala Daora). White Fatalis isn't easy, but it is very slow (and animations are a bit dated), attacks are very easy to avoid and he won't never chain you. The difficulty comes from the time to kill him and the fact that most of his attacks OS you, and you don't have the right to be hit if you want to kill him.

(oh and before you yell at me because of what I think, I finished all quests from both MHFU and MH3 and I'm currently playing 3rd)
