What’s the proper use of gestures in Monster Hunter

monster-hunter-3-ultimate

I'm using the gestures just for fun so far, but I've noticed that some food boosts affect some gestures, for example the shadowbox.
So I think there's another functions for the gestures, not only for looking cool or skilled.

  • If you see a hot air balloon in the sky, waving at it will locate large monsters on your map for a short duration. (MH3U does not have this feature)
  • Shadowbox and Taunt will deal very slight damage.
  • Kick Back will give you a small attack boost if you got Cool Cat when eating before the quest.

None of the others do anything special, though you can use them to communicate with other players online.
