User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Tigrex(4th Gen)/@comment-26421638-20150801191503

Tigrex (aka Tigarekkusu) is One of the Most Popular Monsters in the MH series (it appeared in a Metal Gear Solid Game too!) and the Flagship Monster of Monster Hunter Freedom 2 (Or Portable Second in Japan). Well, is not my favorite Monster but I don't hate it...

I Like its Design, a blue/yellow striped Wyvern that has an head shape similar to a Tyrannosaur... And it has forelimbs that acts like Wings... We should remember that Tigrex (along with Akantor) were the first Quadrupedal Flying Wyverns in MH... I like it when it goes in rage mode (his green eyes turns red and red veins appears in its face and forelimbs). Its Roar? Everybody knows Tigrex for its roars, its title is "Roaring Wyvern"!

In Freedom 2/Unite was one of the Most Boring annoying Monsters, was almost impossible to avoid perfectly its attacks (thanks for the broken hitboxes, Capcom!) And the G Rank Tigrex was one of the most painful battles in FU.

In Portable 3rd was a bit better, no more broken hitboxes, less health, less damage and one new attack (Bite and 360 spin)... But not too much...

In 4th Generation we have "Tigrex 2.0"... New theme Music (simply awesome and only better than the older one), new attacks and the new climbing/mounting attacks makes it a good monster! I Like 4th gen Tigrex due to its ability to take advantage of any kind of enviroment.

Its equipment is good, especially in F2/FU... Its weapons were almost essentials due to its high raw damage and (for F2/FU) high sharpness... Unfortunately they have negative Affinity... However, Tigrex Weapons are still good in MH4U... Tigrex Armor are Really good in every MH Game... They usually had good and useful skills.

Apex Tigrex? Just like every Apex Monsters, it's broken and Annoying... That's All.

Overall: Good Monster, i hated this Monster back in older MHGames, but now, due to its good revamp, became really interesting and fun to fight... I'm Not a huge fan of Tiggy, but i'm happy for his excellent revamp.
