Wow, it's high time I got around to contributing to this blog. Let's see then:

Fatalis has always been OP and boring, and fought at an equally boring area (Where camp is Area 1 for some reason)

Crimson Fatalis is just as boring, just more OP. He's got a better colour scheme and is fought at a more visually stimulating environment.

Never fought the MH2 Yama Tsukami, which I know is a lot different from the MHFU version (And actually uses most of the tower's areas as a battle zone)

Akantor was always good, challenging fun, and I have more than a few fond memories of taking him down with my friends inhe days of Freedom 2.

Ukanlos is very similar to Akantor, but you know what? He was still great fun to fight, at an exclusive, all new area. He was wickedly powerful and gave you a crazy amount of money for soloing, surely a classic for many MH players.

Ceadeus was awesome because for once it actually had something to do with the ongoing story of Tri, though he was a little slow getting started, his final confrontation and battle theme are definitely standouts.

Alatreon I never really liked too much, on paper he sounds like a monster a 12 year old designed (u guise he lives in a volcano and can control ALL DA ELEMENTS) and his fight isn't too noteworthy or climactic in any way.

Amatsumagatsuchi is a WONDERFUL fight. Unlike all of these other bosses, he goes through multiple phases throughout the fight, giving you that "final phase, near the end" adrenaline rush that all the best bosses in gaming history have. The beautiful music gets progressively more dramatic as the fight goes on, and after the beast is slain, the sky clears up and you're rewarded with a special ending musical theme. Bravo on this one Capcom.

I absolutely REFUSE to acknowledge Lagiacrus Rare as the final boss of MH3G, but Guran looks to be at least somewhat unique, so here's hoping we in the western hemisphere get a chance to throw down with him at some point in the future.
