These were threads that were alive and kicking in the old forum, so it's about time to revive them methinks.

Make suggestions for what you think Big Band should say in his in game dialogue!

Here's a fan made voice reel with some ideas to get you started!

"Is something "trebling" you? Let me help you with that."
"I don't think this will end on a high note for you."
"If you don't want to waltz out of here, why don't we tango instead?"
 
Bringing one back from the old Skullheart:

Ms. Fortune: We must be related!
Big Band: Because you're one cool cat?

That was me. I actually had a lot of Big Band quotes in those old threads. Now I just need to remember them. LOL

I have a few but I have to dig them out first. In the mean time, I think GeneralIvan's lines should pretty much be considered canon at this point.

I mean I really cannot picture Big Band not saying "Let's give a big hand for Big Band" and "You're in treble now!" anymore. Those lines have become memetic to my headcanon.
 
If this includes the "Jive Big Band" voice pack (Or whatever it was called)...

When he fights Double, would it be too much to ask for him to call her a "Jive-Ass Cavity Creep"?
 
"Honk! Honk!"
Various other horn instruments sounds.
I like to think that Big Band doesn't speak.
 
I'm really looking forward to hearing Rich in the game, especially with all of these great quote ideas! Lately I've been toying around with scripts for different characters, so I came up with a bunch of cheesey liners for Big Band:

===INTRO QUOTES===
"Looks like someone needs to knock you down a few octaves."
"Canopy's top brass got nothing on me!"
"Sorry friend, but the music's not dying tonight."
"All right, Half-Note, give it a rest!"
"Enough with the serenades. Let's dance."
"Time for you rag-a-muffins to take five!"
"Pipe down, or else I might have to play you a lullaby. "
"You don't strike me as the sharpest key in the staff, y'know."
"Think you can handle a few of my Greatest Hits?"
Vs. Big Band
"Heh. You must be the radio version."
"I guess we're both just tootin' our own horns, huh?"
===WIN QUOTES===
"Don't try a duet with me if you can't match my scale!"
"Here's honkin' at you, kid."
"Tough crowd, but not as tough as me."
"Sometimes you just gotta put the harm back in harmony."
"Guess I won't be hanging up this hi-hat any time soon."
"The tempo died down, so I made my exit. No fanfare. No encore."
"The bigger they are, the better they are."
"Come fly with meeeeee!!!"
===EXTRAS===
"They used to call me a Copper full of hot air. I guess that description's a bit more accurate these days."
"You could say I'm a flatfoot on a major scale. I'm always on a toot, but never off-key."
"Hey, I might look like a tin can, but don't think I'm a tin ear!"
"I'm just dying for some pineapple salad right now."
Vs. Female Opponent
[Big Band] "Her glare was as cold as ice. You could tell this dame had bad news written all over her."
[Opponent] "You're thinking out loud?"
[Big Band] "And she wasn't afraid to state the obvious."
Vs. Peacock
[Peacock] "Is that clarinet in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"
[Big Band] "You'd better clean off that mouthpiece, kid!"
Vs. Big Band
"Hey, could you bend down? You're covering up the health bars!"
Saxploitation
"Is Big Band gonna have to stroke a pitch?"
 
Dammit, there was another great Big Band voice reel from before Rich Brown was announced and I can't find it. It had some fantastic lines in it.

I know it had a great delivery for "Let's all give a big hand... for Big Band."

Anyone got a link?
 
flying away victory quotes:
"I have to go now. The planet needs me!"
"And I'm BLASTING OFF AGAAAAAAIN!"

vs. peacock
"We're done here. Now return to base."
"Too much TV is bad for ya, kid."

vs. squigly/eliza
"Sorry, Miss, but I'm the one on center stage."
"You could always sing backup."

vs. double
"I'm not a fan of remixes."
"I expected some originality."
 
Taunt Quotes

"You wouldn't know an oboe from an elbow."
"This one time at Big Band camp."

Intro: vs. Ms. Fortune
"You must be one cool cat."

Victory: vs Ms. Fortune
"You need to sharpen up more on your music cause it's flat."

Big Band: "You're pretty sharp, but lets hope you don't fall flat"
vs. Fortune: "The last remaining member of the fishbone gang? Mind if I take you in for questioning?"

vs. Peacock: "The merry-go-rounds about to break down, kid."
on a night stage: "Isn't it past your bed-time, Patricia?"

vs. Painwheel: "They helped me...maybe they could help you too?"

vs. Squigly: "If we met for different reasons, we could've made a mean trio."

vs. Parasoul: "I'm sorry, but even the queen can be a suspect...please come in quietly."
or: "Ben Birdland, reporting in." but that doesn't really make sense...

vs. Cerebella: "You're still pretty young...get out while you can."

vs. Valentine: "How long are you going to put up this front?"

vs. Big Band: "A duet? I'm up for it!"

vs. Filia: "I'll get to the bottom of this soon, don't worry, Filia"
Filia: "!?"
Samson: "It's Nothin' Kid, Just FIGHT!"

vs. Double: "I've finally caught you, now you're gonna tell me EVERYTHING..."

"THE HARD BOILED TOP BRASS, BIG BAND IS HERE!"
"I hope you're ready for a beating" or since he's black lol "I'm gonna beat you like you STOLE something!"
"Bass you down like Fortissi-issimo"
"You're gonna tell me everything you know"
"BIG! BAND! BEAT!"

I'll add more as I come up with them I guess?

Double vs. Big Band
- "Such immoral music!"
- "Get outta my house, Jazz."
- "A disgusting purveyor of Sax and Violins . . ."
- "WHAT IS A MAN?"

Big Band intro quotes:
- "Stop right there criminal scum." (vs. Criminal characters)
- "Its a copper!" "Technically, I'm TOP BRASS." (vs. Fortune)

It's a shame that some of the more relaxed winquotes posted here wouldn't work at all because his winpose has him blasting off into space

Sorry for bumping, but I really want to see something like this:

Opponent: "BIRDLAND!"

Big Band: "That's MISTER Birdland to you!"

(Reference to AKIRA.)
