Amatsu can be a very... interesting fight depending on the weapon you use and whether or not you go online or solo.

When online, it can be the most annoying fights in the game. If your weapon is slow, enjoy getting a couple of hits in and constantly sheathing cause it's already across the map. I can see bowgunners having a blast in this fight, but if you're like me and chose to use a longsword, it's tedious. After a couple of fights, I just gave up and stuck with hitting it's arm or tail cause constantly whiffing attacks meant for the head is annoying. On the topic of whiffing, you'll be doing that a lot. The fight was definitely meant for aerial style.

Also, this fight is pretty much relies on whether or not your teamates know how to dodge the mega twister. This leads to multiple failed hunts and lack of materials to make any of Amastu's equipment. In the end of the day, your better off making Mitsu's weapons than wasting your time with Mr. Can't Touch This.

The fight is much better when you're soloing it, even though you have deal with a lot of health and time-wasting attacks.

I really do hate the hype that went into this fight. In fact, Amatsu, without a doubt, is the most overhyped monster in the franchise. I don't know if it's the nostalgia goggles or it's design and BGM, but it really does help Amatsu conceal it's meh boss fight.
