I'd say there won't be any subspecies.I mean, Capcom already has to change the previous gen monsters so that they fit well in a new vertical landscape, subspecies would just make them redundant within the game they're introduced. I'd say, wait till the second game in the generation for subspecies.I'd say Amatsu has a good chance of coming back if they were to reuse previous gen final bosses. However, I'd rather see what they would do to Lao Shan Lung,Yama Tsukami, or Guran Miraosu than Amatsu currently.
