User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Hunter Theory... Blog/@comment-5043481-20120813165647

I have a theory that the atmosphere in Monster hunter is much thicker than on earth. There is much evidence for this.

Hunters can run around for ages without getting tired, suggesting they have a faster scource of oxygen than the ait on earth.

Flying monsters have much smaller wings and flight mucles, and also beat thies wings more slowly than would be neccacery for flight on earth.

Hunters do not die when they jump off of huge cliffs, this means teminal velocity is lower.

Also, wind pressure is much more powerful than it would be on earth. For example, kushalas wind barrier would have to be at 100mph+ to knock the hunter over.

I stress that this is not a replacement for the widely accepted low gravity theory, rather an addition that along with it better explains crtain aspects of the game.
