MH3U: The Rathalos is so annoying now?

I played Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and Unite and I didn't have any issues with any of the monster (excluding the plesioth and the Blos's) and especially had no issues with the Rathalos or Rathian and could hunt them down and their subspecies with almost no problems. I have Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate now though and it seems like they made the Rathalos into the most aggrevation monster to fight in the game. It just hovers there all the time and I can barely ever reach it, not even with a lance and whenever he roars he basically gets a free hit on me which deals massive damage despite my wearing high fire resistance armor.

This isn't a rant, I want to know how you people feel about how they changed the rathalos (I'm guessing they did it in Tri) and how you people generally fight it. All I can think of is to use a bow but I hate using bows cause I suck with them. Generally I use Dual sword, Lance or Gunlance and back in the Freedom's I was decent with a hammer. I am on the last set of the High Rank village quests and just fought the Azure Rathalos and struggled for most of the fight wearing improved red Rathalos armor with Dios Slicer+. Damage wasn't an issue at all, it was getting hits in. (I won but not by very much, the fight was way to aggrevating in my opinion cause he wouldn't spend any time on the ground, then when he did land across the area he would only be grounded for about 2 seconds and then fly again.

    I never found him annoying at all. The first MH game I ever played was Tri on the wii, so i am used to that play style. When I finally beat him on Monster Hunter Freedom 2 it was extremely easy and I was a little disappointed at the lack of difficulty. So i am used to the harder way of fighting him. If you want to beat him easily I find using a hammer and going mainly for head shots is the easiest way. Hitting him in the legs is good too, as it will knock him onto his side. When he roars do a superman dive (do your panic run and press evade). Dual blades kind of suck against him because of their short reach. Use a hammer or long sword to knock him out of the air. The easiest way to get him out of the air is to throw a flash bomb in front of his face and he will instantly fall out of the air. I never found many problems when fighting him in the air, but I think it is because you are using dual blades, which give you a large disadvantage when he is in the air. The only thing you can go forwhen he is in the air is the tail.
