Does this count as a speedrun?
I don't know, this counts more as spectacle for me.
Jokes aside while Strength Hammer is the worst weapon in the game it at least holds the distinction of making speedruns of endgame monsters look like proper fights.
It doesn't deal enough damage to get past Amatsu's scripted attacks (it only ever happened to me one time to skip the first one), so in the end this is a rather slow encounter.
I was able to find somewhat of a script in how to approach this fight with Hammer though, so I got it in the bag and all I need is some good moveset RNG on Amatsu's side.
I'm still very satisfied with sub 6:30 that's really the best I could do in an entire afternoon of practice.
But I don't mind because it really showcases the entirety of the fight and like I said, it's a spectacle.
Amatsu was clearly meant to be a spectacle fight, Rise-Style like Gaismagorm and Allmother Narwa. It wasn't meant to be overly challenging. I think this is the single most beautiful fight in the entire series.
Amatsu also has a perfect mix of some of its old moveset and some amazing new additions. It's really an amazing fight, up there as one of my favorites now.
My only gripes with the fight are those scripted attack sequences, the Valstrax intrusion, and the hitbox on Amatsu's long-lasting single tornado attack. Sometimes I can Water Strike Amatsu's attack and be right inside the tornado, dead at the center and clearly not making contact with it, and yet I'd still get hit.
