At least he isn't a insta-rush loving fanatic like he was in the past games.

Don't have a lot to say to Rathalos. He's sorta the same, but he flies more and has reworked/new moves. They removed most of the garbage moves, like the homing claws, "triple fireball in the sky that hits absolutely no one", and the World Tour. The good thing is that flashpods can be used incredibly fast so the flying isn't that annoying.

Still annoying but a much better fight than before.
