A Fighting Game trope, often going hand-in-hand with the Victory Pose, where after the match is over, the winner is rewarded with a shot of their character saying something interesting. While 2D fighters will have a separate screen devoted to the pose and the quote, 3D fighters will often combine the two. What a character says while standing victoriously over their opponent's battered body very often give players insight into the character's personality. It can be anything from waxing philosophical to gloating over their victory, from cocky (Maxi) to slutty (Lilith) to modest (Talim). A character's quotes are usually selected randomly from a few stock ones that reveal nothing about their opponent, but will often have a special one for when they defeat their Rival or another character they have a connection to. They can vary depending on which mode is being played, and even the conditions of victory in more modern fighting games. See also Bond One-Liner. Compare Victorious Roar, the non-articulate variant. The direct opposite of a Battle Intro. |

SNK's fighting games usually have very bad translation, leading to hilariously cheesy "victoly" quotes (except in more recent years). The King of Fighters XI's Final Boss Magaki is notable for having an individual victory quote for every character in the game. One inversion from SNK: Art of Fighting story mode. Your defeated opponent tells the player where to go look for (your/your best friend's) missing sister next. SNK's other series, Fatal Fury follows this most happily. Fatal Fury 2/Special had specific ones for certain fighters if they beat someone special as well as special intro quotes in Arcade mode for certain matchups (for example, Geese's fantastically narm worthy quote to Terry of "Die like your father you pin-headed son of an ice-cream maker!!") and by Fatal Fury 3, everyone had a specific win quote against everyone else (and generic ones for Vs. Mode). Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 downgraded to everyone having 2 generic quotes and only on VS Mode on the AES version. Garou: Mark of the Wolves went back to this with a vengeance, everyone having win quotes against everyone as well as generic ones. For some reason, The King of Fighters '97 had no quotes. KOF2000 was notable in that it also had defeat quotes in the Continue screen. |

The Tales Series, such as Tales of Symphonia, has these in every game. The basic form has the character who defeated the last enemy say any of a number of quotes at random, sometimes based on how well the battle went. Some games also have group victory quotes where two or more of the characters in the active party say something. Unique quotes are also used at times for certain bosses. | |

That goes for its Spiritual Successor BlazBlue as well. And for friendly rival series Arcana Heart. As well as Fighter's History and its sequel, Karnov's Revenge. |

Unlike most other games and even crossovers Street Fighter X Tekken has both of the team say something after winning. Also since unlike most others before and after it uses the in-game models of the winners rather than just still images so their mood can change depending on what they think of their defeated opponent. Players can also choose between character specific quotes or generic ones◊. | |

Persona 3 gives the Victory Quote to the character who lands the final blow. Notably, these change late in the game as each character reaches reaches the turning point of their Character Development, and they range from pithy (Shinjiro's "Adios, asshole.") to Tear Jerkers (Akihiko's triumphant, "Did you see that, Shinji?" following Shinjiro's death). | |

At the end of each fight in Fate/unlimited codes, the winner makes a brief speech (it's based on a Visual Novel after all) to the loser. Usually it's something generic that boils down to "You suck," but between certain character pairs they'll say something relating to the storyline. | |

Appears in Final Fantasy X. All games before that (along with X itself) stick with the traditional Victory Pose. For a fair while into the game, if the right combination of characters were present, there would be one-off quotes that had to do with their current situation, both after a victory, and when starting the battle. For example, Tidus would try to act cool around Yuna from the get-go, especially in Besaid. And Yuna would be in awe of "Sir Auron" on the Mi'hen Highroad when he had finished off some enemy. In additions, every playable character in Dissidia Final Fantasy has several, depending on factors including the opposition's level (when compared to their own), and their remaining health. When fighting duel battles, every character is given a separate taunt against every other character (that's 144 in total). Some are really specific (such as Kuja and Zidane from Final Fantasy IX talking about Garland from Final Fantasy as if they know him because their game had a Garland as well), others are more generic. |

Super Smash Bros.. Though many characters don't have victory quotes (being The Voiceless or The Unintelligible), a few characters do have some, like the Fire Emblem characters, Lucario, Meta Knight and Mewtwo (though in his case, only in the Japanese version, oddly enough). Marth and Ike get noticeably Out-of-Character Moment ones. Super Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS features opponent-specific victory quotes for some characters, such as between Fox and Falco, and the Fire Emblem cast. Some of them are... rather harsh. |
