User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Azure Rathalos (4th Gen)/@comment-16331478-20160101181328

This is probably the worst subspecies in the game. It's one thing when the subs are just reskins with next to no changes, but when you manage to make a subspecies worse than the regular counterpart you fucked up. Azure Rathalos is simply not fun. In any conceivable way. He's annoying, he has attacks that are really hard to dodge for some reason, and he spams. Minutes can pass by before he decides to land and it doesn't take long for him to start flying again. That wouldn't be so much of a problem if his air mobility wasn't so enhanced. This guy moves so much while in the air, generating wind currents that keep interrupting anything you're doing and then comboing off of them. Out of all the monsters in MH4U, this is one of the few I truly dread fighting solo.
