Just wanted to give my opinion on the Rathalos thing, is that the footage we see him in is most likely from a Boss Rush mode, like Brawl had, because if you look at the Dracula footage there is only 1 time that he see more than 1 character fighting him(unless I'm competently misremembering but at the very least in the Simon trailer, Simon is the only character on stage before Dracula shows up) , the cutscene could literally be just for the Direct,like the zoom in on Dracula while he was siting,and to where you fight him in that a location from MH4(or so I was told), so that is also most likely a stage in the game, yes Sakurai did say that Ultimate had 103 stages, but at the bottom of the stage selector there is room for at least 6 more, now I normally don't like this type of speculation, but in a game like this it feels weird that they would go that far and leave it like that, plus while they were specific in saying 103 but they weren't when talking about that nº including FD and Battle Field form just saying 300+ instead of 309.

And finally assuming that Rathalos is part of a story mode, my question is why would there be a boss plus location from MH in the story without a MH character, and if a MH character is in why wouldn't they get a stage?
