## Victory Screen Interactions

### ***BlazBlue***

Iron Tager

Tager: *I fully understand the capacity of your strength, but you should consider brushing up on your tactics a little more. Not all battles can be won with brute force alone.*
Waldstein: *Don’t make me laugh. Little tricks and gambits are meaningless in the face of raw power. My claws will make short work of them.*
Azrael

Azrael: *I'm starving... You robbed my of my prey, and now I'm starving... You're going to pay for this, old warrior...!*
Waldstein: *Disgraceful... Barking for food like a stray dog. Very well, I shall engrave the essence of strength into your body!*
Jubei Mitsuyoshi

Jubei: *Ain't no point in focusin' just on strength or speed. Ya need technique to really make 'em sing. If ya only think size matters, then ya ain't gonna win.*
Waldstein: *Pah, spoken like a true weakling. Strength is the essence of battle -- turn your back on it, and you will never know true power.*
Yūki Terumi (Takehaya Susano'o)

Terumi (Susano'o): *This was inevitable. You are all just roaches, crawling through the dirt before me.*

### ***Persona 4 Arena***

Chie Satonaka

Chie: *So, what do you think, Gramps? It's kinda fun to play nice once in a while, right?*

Akihiko Sanada

Waldstein: *This battle was truly thrilling! I am grateful to have met a warrior such as you.*
Akihiko: *Heh. Well, we both share the desire to be our best, after all. Can't wait to train with you again.*
### ***Under Night In-Birth***

Hyde Kido

Hyde: *What now, old man? Still wanna treat me like a kid?*
Waldstein: *Don't make me laugh boy. You're barely breaking out of your shell. Talk to me again when your arms are the size of your torso.*
Linne

Waldstein: *Princess... As I say daily... you must train your body! Power is the heart of combat, and it only resides within those who train! With those scrawny arms, you shall accomplish nothing!*
Linne: *I refuse. Even I have a little self-respect.*
Gordeau the Harvester

Waldstein: *Just as I thought, these people were unworthy to harvest. They're nothing but cowards, running rampart around the battlefield... How utterly unfortunate.*
Gordeau: *Ah, relax. You'll get a ripe one of these days.*
Mika Returna

Waldstein: *It's simple: "Fighting is Power." That is the one and only truth you need know.*

Seth the Assassin

Seth: *You still wander the path of heresy, Hecatoncheir. One day I'll bring those wanderings to a perfect end.*

### ***RWBY***

Yang Xiao Long

Waldstein: *Gwaahahahaha! Now THIS is a battlefield! An encounter with a powerful foe never fails to excite me.*
Yang: *Well, I'm glad YOU'RE happy, at least. But geez, you could've given me some room to show off a little.*
### ***Generic***

* "Though our alliance was belief, it was quite enjoyable indeed. Should the opportunity arise, let us fight as one again!"
* "You got some tricks, but you lack training -- and a keep mind needs a powerful body. As you stand, victory is far beyond your grasp."
* "We will neither run nor hide. If you wish to fight us again, we will always be ready."
* "Did I not make myself clear? Trickery is meaningless before my power! You've wasted my time..."
* "You are a mighty warrior, worthy of a battle to the death. Had it not been for our encounter, you would have blossomed into a magnificent foe."
