If these mimicry goes too far, Capcom should be thinking something. So, we called on PR section of Capcom and asked what they are going to do. They commented "Nothing is scheduled concretely so we couldn't make any comments for now."

And also, we asked whether they make some actions if Chinese company would copy some motions and voices pointed out by many users. Capcom PR person said "It's the field of IR and legal works, so appropriate section will make some action."

Selling 3.5 million copies of PSP game "Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G", "Monster Hunter" is one of Capcom's fattest cashcow. Whatever action they would make, they have to be quick. According to the link below, the operating demo of "HUNTER BLADE" was exhibited at a game related event in China and attracted visitors.
