Just like the old thread, post what you think characters could say before battle, and what exchanges they could have with other characters.

Beowulf vs. Annie
Beowulf: "Beowulf feels conflicted about fighting a young, one-eyed girl."
Annie: "Sounds to me like you're scared Beowulf!"

Beowulf vs. Eliza
Beowulf: "Were you sitting in my chair?"
Eliza: "I'm Egyptian!"

Double: I'll gladly take your tithe . . . in blood

Beowulf vs Ms. Fortune: 'Beware of dog, little kitty.' 'Bite me. Just try, puppy.'
Why you bitin', son!?

  • parasoul - You may be royalty, but *I* rule the ring!
  • filia - Hey, nice hair, I OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING!?
  • valentine - Ninja nurse, eh? Nice costume design!
  • painwheel - Whoa, this one seems a bit prickly!
  • fortune - Beware of dog, little kitty!
  • cerebella - Now this is what I'm talking about! Let's wrassle!
  • peacock - Ain't gonna be no runnin' away while I'm here!
  • double - Don't matter how many people you got in there, you're goin' down!
  • squigly - You got a dragon, huh? Well, I got.. a .. chair... so... yah.
  • big band - What'daya say we kick up the tempo, big guy?
  • eliza - Oh, sweet! I love your records... but I'm still gonna have to suplex you. Sorry.
  • beowulf - An imposter enters the arena!? The crowd gasps!
  • robo fortune - IF meet beowulf THEN retreat, ELSE prepare for an ass-whoopin'!

All these should be canon.

Peacock to Squiggly post-win: "Well what did you expect in an opera - a happy ending?"

Peacock to Parasoul: "Ain't you supposed to be in another castle?"

Beowulf to Peacock: "She's got an international object ref!"

Beowulf to Umbrella post win: "Spare the chair, spoil the child!"

Dahlia to Fortune: "Well well... looks like the cat came back after all."

Fortune to Dahlia: *growls* I've waited for this..."

Dahlia to Cerebella: "You've gotten cocky little girl."

Squigly to Umbrella: "Are all children so ill-mannered now?"

Leviathan to Eliza: "Careful master, this one isn't alone."
 
Beowulf to Peacock: "She's got an international object ref!"

Beowulf to Umbrella post win: "Spare the chair, spoil the child!"

I like these, but I think too few people would know what an, "international object," is. I had to look it up.
 
Black Dahlia to Ms. Fortune: I'll make sure you sleep with the fishes...permanently.
 
Some intro ideas

Double: (vs. Beowulf) It was MEEEE ALL ALONG, BEOWULF! (anyone who knows certain pro wrestling memes should figure this one out)
Peacock: (vs. Big Band) Hey! I didn't call for back-up!
Big Band: (vs. anyone) Its time for justice. CYBORG JUSTICE! (cyborg justice is a pretty fun beat 'em up on the genesis/mega drive)
Robo-Fortune: (vs. Fortune) One Shall Stand! One Must Fall!
Robo-Fortune: (vs. anyone) PHASE 1! PROCEED! (this one's from cyberbots)
 
It's not really dialogue, but I really want Filia vs. Painwheel to start of with them doing a friendly knuckle bump.

actually i'd like some more custom vs. intros. like how Arc goes overboard with them in BB since they reuse battle animations.

Filia vs Squigly - Both activate their Level 3 supers which clash in the air with a big flashy effect.
Double vs Peacock - Double tries to use her Wagon super but Peacock teleports out of the way. Peacock yells "HEY, THAT'S MY CAR!"
Painwheel vs Parasoul - Painwheel is using her throw animation on an egret with Parasoul exclaiming "A Berserker?!"

also Big Band should have an intro where he jumps backwards onto the screen then turns around. That's my favorite intro for Q in third strike.
 
GG also has some of that IIRC. Awesome idea. It can add so much more personality to the game with the bonus of not being taxing on the animators. Might as well pitch in:
Valentine vs Parasoul - Parasoul is standing in the opposite player's side with her back turned (if she's P1 she's in P2's "spot") and Valentine tries a sneak attack (maybe Checkmate Incision), a 'MK Egret' takes the hit for her, Parasoul hops on a bike and Valentine does a Savage Bypass and they both get in their respective places.
Valentine vs Painwheel - Painwheel goes in with a fully charged Pinion Dash and Valentine evades it with her IPS burst
Ms Fortune vs Cerebella - these two definitely need one but all I can think is Cerebella trying assorted "brutish" attacks like Battletoads Ram and Titan Knuckle as Ms Fortune dodges them all
Parasoul vs ??? - I'm not sure who the opponent should be but I'd like to see one with the opponent wasting Egrets left and right (about 10) and Parasoul hopping in all like "I'll take care of this."

Scythana.
 
Oh man, I agree with you guys on the custom character specific intros! That's one thing I absolutely fell in love with once I started seeing them in games. I do hope a future update (once all is done and settled) has this or SG2. :)

Painwheel: No more tests! You die!

Painwheel: You did this! Don't complain!
Painwheel: You're the real monnster!!
Painwheel: I make my own way!
Painwheel: I do what I want!
 
I have a few ideas for Big Band. Trying him out in the beta helps too.

Peacock vs. Big Band
- "I'm the rogue loose cannon who plays by her own rules! And you're my partner who does things by the book!" " . . . I'm getting too old for this."
- "Sorry, old man, but I go by own tune." "You have to learn to how to play in a group."
- "I'm goin' after Marie myself!" "I can't allow a solo act like that, Patricia."

Valentine vs. Big Band
- "Hrmph! You can't touch this." "Sorry, but I'm too legit to quit."

I had some more ideas since i got quite a few likes from that previous post, but this time, its for new win animations (because they do get a bit repetitive unless you're playing filia)

Peacock - Use her assist animation of her doing a silly little jig. Also her taunt would be pretty cute too.
Painwheel - Hops over to her enemy then uses her pre-throw animation of her grabbing her opponent then holding them in the air.
Parasoul - Poses cool with her luger (Double's animation) and all the egrets jump out and salute her.
Valentine - Honestly . . . just reuse her time out pose. The Mortal Kombat skeletons is just too good.

just some ideas i had.
 
Valentine vs. Big Band
- "Hrmph! You can't touch this." "Sorry, but I'm too legit to quit."
Even though that part was for Valentine, I still thought of

Brain Drain win (General (Perhaps vs. Painwheel or vs. Valentine?)): "The beatings shall continue until morale improves."

Cerebella intro (vs. Annie): "I'll be the one leaving you starstruck!"

Venus intro (General): "Your destruction will be absolute."

Aeon intro (General): "The future is now. Are you ready?"
"If only you knew where the path you walk leads..."

Aeon intro (vs. Filia): "No memory of your past? Poor girl."

Aeon win (General): "Time waits for no woman."
"Your time has run out."
"Pity, it felt we'd just begun. Where did the time go?"

(Just some random lines, not a great deal or ones that are applicable, but they're what comes to mind. I pride myself on having a large number of time puns at my disposal, so I might be back for more Aeon lines later.)
