User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Portable 3rd Bosses/@comment-2049092-20120707213257

I feel as if from a concept standpoint, that the monsters from the third generation would be tougher than their comparable 2nd and 1st monsters. I mean, you have to think during every fight with Qurupecco. You really don't have to think while fighting Kut-Ku after the first five times .The same thing with the dromes.Gigginox has a much more diverse moveset than Khezu.However,they are not tougher,and here are a few things why.First off, the damage in P3rd that the monsters dealt was horribly reduced, even compared to Tri's standards, the monsters seem to only tickle you.Second, stamina, which is a great idea, was horribly debilitating for some monsters (Tigrex would like to speak to however had the idea of him tripping when he tries do a 2nd charge.) Finally, whenever I see videos of Portable 3rd, it seems as if some of the moves (Tigrex's new moving spin) have too forgiving hitboxes (it may just be me.)
