I admit underwater combat can be troublesome mostly because of the camera controls but I've never had too much trouble and it did improve in 3 Ultimate. I didn't even have trouble with Plesioth until G rank, even when fighting it underwater.

That said, I do understand why underwater combat isn't in gen 4 because of the acrobatic mechanics but would like to see both in a future game when possible.
