Pre-Battle Dialogues(Story Mode)

"KOF Teams" Intro

Benimaru: "Oh. you're here at last!"
Kyo: "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Daimon: "Don't worry about it."
Kyo: "Well, let's get going then."
Benimaru: "Are you sure you're okay, Kyo?"
Kyo: "Hm? What are you talking about?"
Benimaru: "Your wounds. You escaped from the hospital before they treated you, am I right?"
Kyo: "What, you don't trust me? I'm telling you not to worry. I'll be fine."
Benimaru: "Well, I'm not exactly worried, per se... I just don't want you making excuses if you cause us to lose. It makes us all look bad."
Kyo: "Oh, so you're a comedian, are you? Well, why don't you take me on, huh!?"
Benimaru: "Don't mind if I do! Show me perfection, Kyo!"
Daimon: "Sigh... Just be sure not to inflict any MORE injuries on our team, guys..."

Elisabeth Team

Kyo: "I knew I would run into you guys again."
Elisabeth: "I am terribly sorry for getting all of you involved in this. However, this is our problem! And if you intend to impede our mission... We'll be forced to remove any obstacles in our path!"
Kyo: "Oh, shut up already! I'm so sick of hearing about your mission! I'm going to get even with that punk, and I don't care about anything else. Get out of my way!"
Benimaru: "You heard the man. Sorry, Duo Lon."
Duo: "Apologizing? You sound pretty sure of your victory, Benimaru."
Benimaru: "Well, you know what he's like when he gets like this, and if your leader won't stand aside... Then unfortunately. We're going to have to go through you."
Duo: "Heh... Classy as ever, Benimaru. Very well then, let us fight."
Shen: "Well, those two seem to be having fun. Let's make this a good fight, old man!"
Daimon: "Didn't your mother teach you any manners?"
Shen: "No, not really. The majority of my upbringing involved learning to speak with my fists."
Daimon: "I see. Let's speak in your language, then. Show me what you've got!"

K' Team

K': "Ugh, more pesky gnats."
Kyo: "Why are you always so irritated every time I see you? Maybe you should try eating less red meat. Are you getting enough calcium in your diet? Try some fish! You can grill some up in an instant!"
K': "Just shut the hell up!"
Maxima: "The flames of Kusanagi, eh? Sorry, I'm already equipped with countermeasures. I've got every bit of data on you that I could possibly need."
Benimaru: "As do I. I've fought alongside you two before."
K': "Tch... That just means that we all know your moves too!"
Benimaru: "I guess we all just cancel each other out, then... Except for..."
Daimon: "...Um."
Kula: "Huh?"
Kyo: "Don't get me wrong, Daimon is a reliable guy and all, but..."
Daimon: "You got it! Leave it to me, Kyo!"
K': "This brat? You serious?"
Kula: "I can do it!"
Kyo: "Anyway, aren't we all working with old data here? What good could it possibly do, right?"
K': "Ugh... Shut up. We've already wasted enough time on this nonsense, and you know it. So, come on! Let's fight! I wanna make up for all the time we just wasted!"
Daimon: "Very well... I shall give it all I've got! Face me!"
Kula: "Just leave it to me, you two! I'm on the top of the world today!"
Benimaru: "W-Well, those two sure are pumped..."
K': "......"

Psycho Soldier Team (Round 1 - Playing as Japan Team)

Athena: "Don't you ever wear your school uniform anymore, Kyo?"
Kyo: "Nah, I think I'm a bit too old for that now..."
Athena: "Really!? Then you finally graduated! Congratulations!"
Kyo: "Hm? Yeah... I guess... Something like that."
Benimaru: "Just tell her, Kyo. You couldn't ask for an easier lead in..."
Kyo: "S-shut up! There's nothing to say..."
Athena: "Wait, what's he talking about!? Kyo, you aren't..."
Kensou: "You're not still getting held back, are you!?"
Kyo: "No, I'm not! I'm just not in school anymore!"
Kensou: "Oh. So then did you graduate?"
Daimon: "Well ,sometimes in a boy's life, things happen, and stuff changes..."
Benimaru: "He's been in all these incidents, and then he just disappeared for a while..."
Chin: "Still, I can't condone this. Winners don't quit, especially when it comes to school. This must be causing your parents so much grief. Why don't you finish school?"
Daimon: "He does make a good point, Kyo..."
Kyo: "Stop pressuring me into things! Let's get this fight over already!"
Kensou: "But... you didn't actually decide anything."
Benimaru: "It's probably best not to push the subject any further."
Athena: "O-Okay..."

Yagami Team

Kyo: "Hey, Yagami. It looks like we're sorta on the same side this time, right?"
Iori: "I'm not interested in small talk. Just fight me. Now."
Kyo: "What? You don't even have your flames! just sit this one out, Yagami."
Iori: "Are you deaf? I told you to fight me, Kyo. NOW!"
Kyo: "You never change. do you? I guess I shouldn't be surprised... But you two! You've been slithering around the place since the seal was broken!"
Mature: "You're a lot more spineless than I recall. Where's the vigour you had when you sealed Orochi?"
Vice: "To top it off, that whelp has you at the palm of his hand. Don't you just want to die?"
Kyo: "Shut up! I don't have time to listen to you talk! I'm going to burn you all to crisp!"
Benimaru: "Now, now that's no way to treat a woman. Oh, how I wish we'd met under different circumstances."
Mature: "My, what sweet words. You've touched my heart... I'll spend some extra time carving you up!"
Benimaru: "I never leave a lady wanting more. I can provide references if you'd like... So feel free to carve away. You'll only be carving my name into the trophy, though."
Daimon: "What exactly are you all scheming?"
Vice: "Does that ever work? Do you think we'd just tell you?"
Daimon: "Fair enough. Point taken. I'll just assume that you're up to no good."
Vice: "Don't worry, though. When you next wake, you won't have to worry about any of this. And then we'll be sure to take extra good care of you!"
Kyo: "Shut up! You loudmouths are the ones who need to get put to sleep! Don't worry, Yagami! We'll take care of everything while you're in your dreamland!"
Iori: "I'm tired of your mouth. I'm going to kill you right here, Kyo!"

Psycho Soldiers Team (Finals - Playing as Team Psycho Soldier)

Athena: "Kyo, are you after Ash too?"
Kyo: "So you know? Good. That makes things easier. This is the final match. Sorry, but I really gotta win this one!"
Athena: "Well, so do we. We can't disappoint all the people who we've defeated up to this point. We can't afford to lose this match!"
Benimaru: "Wow, someone's ready for battle. Something happen, sweet thing?"
Kensou: "Joke all you want, blondie. We're not the kids you used to know."
Benimaru: "Oh, can you actually fight this time?"
Daimon: "Master Chin... So you're..."
Chin: "Hmph, I knew you would have it figured out by now. It's not that I don't trust you, but I'm going to have to ask you to step aside."
Kyo: "As if , old man... Besides, this is my problem, you hear? So just get out of my way!"
Athena: "Kyo, you shouldn't try to do everything on your own. We can help you too!"

Pre-Battle Dialogues

Andy Bogard

Kyo: "Hey I was wondering where you'd gone off to. What have you been up to, Koppo Fighter?"
Andy: "I've been busy with ascetic training, isolated from everyday world, of course. What else!?"
Kyo: "Psh. I have no need for that stuff. A real man of genius doesn't need that nonsense."
Andy: "Talent is important, but hard work and talent beats talent. You can't get by in this world by just relying on raw talent..."
Kyo: "Says you! I'll make you into a believer. I'm a genius, and I ain't trying to hide it either!"

Ash Crimson

Kyo: "Hey, freckle face. Weren't you looking for me?"
Ash: "How admirable of you, Kusanagi. I hadn't expected you to come and find me on your own."
Kyo: "Stop the chatter... I'm going to hurt you in ways you can't even imagine. I will never grow tired of hurting you! That's much how you've got me ticked off. Get ready, Ash Crimson!"
Ash: "Oh, I've been ready but are you? Are you ready to lose everything you got?"

Athena Asamiya

Kyo: "Wow, I don't know what to say... Is this one of your strategies?"
Athena: "Huh? Strategies? What are you talking about?"
Kyo: "I mean, this is just a PR stunt, right? No one your age wears a sailor uniform anymore."
Athena: "Th-That's not a PR stunt! It's a return to my origin! It's a throwback!"
Kyo: "A throwback? I wouldn't wear a school uniform anymore if my life depended on it."
Athena: "J-Just shut up about it already, or you'll get me really angry! Let's get this over with!"

Benimaru Nikaido

Benimaru: "I think we've already said everything we could possibly say, so let's just get going, Kyo!"
Kyo: "Gotcha! But don't burn out right at the start, okay? It's been a while, so I want to enjoy this!"

Billy Kane

Kyo: "Hey, man, are you sure you want to be using that stupid little stick? Shouldn't you have a gun, like any other self-respecting gang member?"
Billy: "Watch your mouth! I'll have you know that my Three-Section Staff is a hell of a lot more dangerous than any old peashooter! Sorry for having to beat you at your own game, but I'm gonna whip you into a pile of dust with this thing!"

Chin Gentsai

Chin: "Life is a lot longer than most young people think. There's no need to rush anything."
Kyo: "Huh? What are you talking about, gramps?"
Chin: "I'm just saying, you shouldn't worry about repeating a school year five or ten times. You'll get it eventually. Everything in its own time."
Kyo: "Why you! I hate when you act like you're going to say something wise, but it's really just a wisecrack! Bring it on, gramps!"

Clark Still

Kyo:: "Would you mind taking all that stuff off? I'd hate to set fire to any of it."
Clark: "Hm? You mean my grenades? They're just duds. They're not live."
Kyo: "Whew, that's a relief. Now I can burn you to my heart's content!"
Clark: "Ha! You shouldn't be worried about my grenades exploding in your face, son. You should be worried about my fists doing that."

Duo Lon

Duo Lon: "...Why are you here? Surely you have no further business here?"
Kyo: "What's it to you, huh? I'm just here to repay an old favor to someone!"
Duo Lon: "I thought so. It seems we're both here to look for someone..."
Kyo: "Oh yeah? Well then, I'll be the one that finds him so I can settle my score! This is where your journey ends!"

Elisabeth Blanctorche

Kyo: "You... I don't know what you're trying to do here, but I'm gonna have to ask you to stop. You guys just bring trouble whatever you go and I'm always the one who has to clean up the mess!"
Elisabeth: "I am truly sorry about that... But you cannot remain uninvolved in these matters. The power of Orochi must not fall into their hands!"
Kyo: "Don't worry about that! I can handle that little upstart!"

Evil Ash

Kyo: "Ash Crimson!? No. That's not right. You couldn't be...?"
Evil Ash: "Why not? *sigh*... You idiots are always making things so needlessly complicated. And yet I'm the one has to take care of your garbage."
Kyo: "Who are calling garbage!? I'm going to cremate you and leave your ashes in a landfill!"

Flames Iori

Kyo: "Hey, hey! Your timing is impeccable as usual! You're not gonna tell me you were "summoned by my flames" or anything, are you? Because that's the lame kind of thing I'd expect you to say."
Iori: "It was you who was summoned here by your flames, Kyo. Are you ready to get burned to a crisp?"
Kyo: "You never were the man of the words, weren't you? All right Yagami, let's get this show on the road!"

Goro Daimon

Daimon: "It's been a long time seen we've fight, Kyo. Give me everything you got."
Kyo: "Are you sure about that, Daimon? I'm a lot stronger than you think."
Daimon: "Excellent! Then show me."

Himself

Kyo 1: "I've got to admire your persistence. I still don't know if you're a clone or an illusion or what, though..."
Kyo 2: "What!? Thay's my line, you miserable imposter!"
Kyo 1: "Things just got interesting! Let's see who's the real Kyo here!"

Human Saiki

Kyo: "Wow, an Ash Crimson look-alike, huh? Are you as much of a cocky little bastard as he is?"
Saiki: "You are wrong, maggot. It is not I who looks like Ash Crimson. He looks like me... Not that I would expect you to understand such a thing. Bwahahahaha!"

Hwa Jai

Hwa: "Kusanagi style? Never heard of it! And what's this 1800 years of history nonsense? The origins of Muay Thai lie in ancient India! In terms of history you don't even compare!"
Kyo: "Tell me something I don't know! I'm not here to debate history! We're fighting in the present. We're here to decide who's the strongest fighter in the world NOW! It's a rhetoretical question, by the way! The answer is obvious!"

Iori Yagami

Kyo: "Even without your flames you're still up to no good,are you Yagami? You need to learn when to quit!"
Iori: "Spare me your lectures. This is the day you die, Kyo!"
Kyo: "My, aren't we in a hurry all of a sudden? That's not like you, Yagami... Are you getting nervous?"
Iori: "I told you I don't want to hear your crap! Just attack already!"
Kyo: "All right, guess it's time to pound you into shape. Let's go, Yagami!"

Joe Higashi

Kyo: "So... uh... Are you sure that leaving the Muay Thai ring was such a good idea? You could've been and undefeated champ if you'd just kept fighting in the Muay Thai ring..."
Joe: "And you'd be undefeated if you just sat around protecting your ancient rituals. You're here for the same reason as I am. We both need to test ourselves against the best of the best!"
Kyo: "I hate to admit it, but you're probably right!"

K'

Kyo: "Man, life must be really hard for you. I feel sorry for you, I really do."
K': "Shut up... Just... Shut. Your. Mouth!"
Kyo: "I see. I guess you don't need any pity!"

Kim Kaphwan

Kim: "Kusanagi... it seems you're still drifting through life, ignoring your studies..."
Kyo: "Oh, uh, you see... I have a perfectly good explanation for that..."
Kim: "I'd love to hear it... in front of your parents!"

King

Kyo: "A female bouncer, huh? How's that personal Muay Thai style working out for ya? If you think the skills that you honed by beating up drunks are going to work on me, you're about to get a painful lesson!"
King: "You should try working at my bar. You'll have a bit more respect once you know what it's really like. Every fighter there could be your last! I don't lose to men drunk on alcohol and I'm not going to lose to a boy drunk on his own delusions!"

Kula Diamond

Kula: "I hate fire! I hate people who control fire! Get away from me!"
Kyo: "I always wanted to talk to you about this. Aren't you contradicting yourself? That guy with the sunglasses controls fire like I do, you know? So why don't you yell at him!? It ticks me off!"

Leona Heidern

Kyo: "Hey, you are not going to go all crazy on me again, are you?"
Leona: "I think I have it all under control now... I will not back down..."
Kyo: "What!? So you could explode any minute? Again!? Get out of here! This is no place for people who can't control themselves!"

Mai Shiranui

Kyo: "I shouldn't be surprised, but you sure have a lot of nerve trying to take me on with fire."
Mai: "Shiranui fire is nothing like your fire! You'd better watch out or your going to get a third degree lesson!"
Kyo: "The same goes for you! I'll teach you who's the hottest in town!"

Mature

Kyo: "You guys just don't know when to quit, do you? How many times do you need to get burned before you learn not play with fire!?"
Mature: "I see you're all wound as usual! I'll make sure to cool down your fiery spirit! A flame always burns it brightest right before it's extinguished... I'm expecting you to burn bright, Kusanagi! Don't disappoint me!"

Maxima

Kyo: "So you're my next opponent, huh? This is going to require some strategy, I think."
Maxima: "I'd never thought I'd hear something that humble from you."
Kyo: "I don't know what you've got in there. If I'm not careful you might release poison or explode or something."
Maxima: "Thanks for worrying about the enviroment. I'll make sure to recycle you once I'm finished with you."

NESTS Kyo

Kyo :"Look, I don't feel like talking about this, so let's just get with the brawlin' and see who's the real one, okay?"
N. Kyo: "Sounds good to me... After all, there's no way the real thing could lose to a fake, right?"
Kyo: "Exactly! So let's get going! This is the kind of messy situation I like to avoid!"

Raiden

Raiden: "Hehehe, you lookin' for your mommy, kiddo?"
Kyo: "No, but you're gonna be crying for yours when I turn you into a ball of fire, piggy!"
Raiden: "Them's fightin' words! I'll show you what a pro wrestler's wild ambition is all about!"
Kyo: "Are you sure about that? You don't even look like you could go a single round!"

Ralf Jones

Kyo: "Wow! You're pretty active for someone as old as you are. Isn't it about time that you retired?"
Ralf: "Put a sock in it, kid! The day I need a squirt like you to worry about my health is the day I check into a nursing home. Looks like it's time for this old man's fists to beat some respect for age and experience into your skull!"

Robert Garcia

Kyo: "I thought you were retired? I don't have time to fight people who aren't going to take this tournament seriously!"
Robert: "Yes. I'll take over my father's business at some point, but it's still way to early for that!"
Kyo: "Well, if you not going to retire, I'm not holding anything back! Don't cry to me afterwards about me going too far!"
Robert: "Hey, I came here to have a serious fight too, you know? I'm not going to break down crying back!"

Ryo Sakazaki

Ryo: "This tournament is broadcast live across the entire planet! It's the perfect chance for me to show everyone on Earth how fearsome Kyokugen Style Karate is!"
Kyo: "I'm not trying to destroy the Sakazaki family's income... But there's not a soul out there who's going to want to enroll in your school after they watch happens to Kyokugen here! Sorry, but I'm not going to act as the underdog! I've already wasted too much time here!"

Saiki

Kyo: "So you're the one who that's behind everything this time? What are you up to!?"
Saiki: "Why should I bother to explain? I don't need you to participate, you just need to give me your power! I'll make sure to put the power of Orochi and the Three Sacred Treasures to good use!"

Shen Woo

Kyo: "You look like you'll burn easily, but I have to be careful you don't release any toxic fumes. So do me a favor and burn you to your last atom, Mr. Self-Proclaimed "Shanghai's God Of War"!"
Shen: "Watch your mouth, kid! You don't want to be dragged out of a ditch somewhere, do ya? Don't think your puny sparks will work against me! Every fight is a fight for dear life for me!"

Sie Kensou

Kensou: "I know you have your issues, but don't you think you're being a bit too hot-headed? Look in the mirror, man! You are totally bloodshot! You can't win when you're messed up like that!"
Kyo: "I can't believe that your advice started making sense there for a second. I'm not turning back, but thanks, kid. This is my problem! I'm gonna solve it the way I see fit! That's how I roll!"

Takuma Sakazaki

Kyo: "Sorry man, but this is the wrong place for you to try and attract new students... All the viewers on TV are going to learn about your style from constantly replaying the moment I knock you out!"
Takuma: "Hahaha! You sure have a lot of pep, young rascal! I'll teach you some decent manners in Saisyu's stead. Now come!"

Terry Bogard

Kyo: "Man you are here every single time, aren't you? Are you going for a perfect attendance record or something?"
Terry: "Hahahaha... You couldn't keep me away from KOF. When I heard strong fighters are getting together, I just can't resist."
Kyo: "You are a sick individual, Terry. I don't think there's any cure for what you got."
Terry: "Hey man, you are here every time I am too! If I'm sick, then you are also sick. Let's fight!"

Vice

Kyo: "Give it a rest already, you cold-hearted snakes! I'm getting sick of hearing about Orochi all the time!"
Vice: "Silence, whelp! Just knowing you're the son of Saisyu is enough to get my blood boiling!"
Kyo: "Huh!? What kind of stupid reason to pick a fight is that!? I'll burn you into pile of ash!"

Yuri Sakazaki

Kyo: "At the risk of sounding like a certain army man: Don't think you can get by just by "playing fighter"! This is not just a simple tournament. There's always something going on behind the scenes."
Yuri: "So what else is new? I'm as ready for you as ever!"
Kyo: "You take after your older brother... Or maybe I should say that you both take after your father... Well, let's get started then! I'm in a hurry!"

Win Dialogue(Story Mode)

Kyo: "This isn't the end... He hasn't shown up yet."
Daimon: "Something's going to happen, like it always does, huh? You have a hard life... Very well, I'll accompany you."
Benimaru: "I know things will get hairy, so there's no way I can let you on your own. You need us two, admit it!"

Pre-Battle Dialogue (NESTS-Styled Kyo)

Andy Bogard

Kyo: "All right, let's see what you can do! Try to put up a bit of a fight, would ya?"
Andy: "I'm not going to brag, but I feel fairly confident that you will not be disappointed with my skills. In fact, I wonder if you'll even be worth using my full strength on."
Kyo: "That sounds a lot like bragging to me, buddy. Okay, let's have some fun!"

Ash Crimson

Ash Crimson: "To be honest, I don't really need your power anymore. It's just that I don't want those guys to get their hands on it... So I guess it'll make things easier if I just get rid of you right here and now! That'll save me a lot of trouble in the future!"
Kyo: "You think you can just get away with anything, don't you? First, I'll make you pay for what you did to Kagura! Get ready!"

Athena Asamiya

Athena: "You shouldn't wear yourself out like that all the time, Kyo. Everyone's worried about you!"
Kyo: "Well then, you can tell everyone not to... Wait a minute. Yuki didn't ask you to come here, did she?"

Benimaru Nikaido

Kyo: "Let's go, Benimaru! No holds barred! Let's have some fun!
Benimaru:"OK! Let me show you how real men fight their battles!"

Billy Kane

Billy: "1800 years, huh? Sorry,buddy, but I'm not scared of moldy old fighting style! I'm gonna take my staff and knock you into orbit, along with your stupid little fire!"
Kyo: "It's because of big-mouthed louts like you that people are able to appreciate just how great I am. Thanks!"

Chin Gentsai

Chin: "Well now... How about you show me your strength, son?"
Kyo: "I've got no problem showing you, gramps, but don't think I'm going to take it easy on you just because you're old!"
Chin: "Hohoho! That's what I like to hear! You're gonna need all you got if you don't want to get hurt."
Kyo: "What worries me most about you is that you don't seem to realize when you're starting to ramble."

Clark Still

Clark: "You're always at the center of things, but it seems that not even you know about what's going on this time."
Kyo: "Hey, it's not like I'm asking for all this trouble. Well, I can at least relax a little thanks to you guys."
Clark: "We can't have you moving about too much, though. We still have a mission to carry out."

Duo Lon

Duo Lon: "It seems you have a place to go back to. You should leave here while you still can. I will not stop you."
Kyo: "You think you know it all, don't you, buddy? Next, try learning how to mind your own damn business. I have stuff to take care of here! If you're not gonna fight, why don't you get your sickly mug back to the mountains of China, huh?"

Elisabeth Blanctorche

Elisabeth: "It seems you still have a lot to learn. Not only as one of the Sacred Treasures, but as a human being as well. Do you honestly think you have it in you to protect your sword in your current state?"
Kyo: "Mind your own business, lady! Why don't you go lecture Yagami, huh? Maybe he'll listen!"

Evil Ash

Evil Ash: "The time to end everything is upon us... Not only our battle, but your human history as well... Unfortunately, you will not be around to see mankind's final moments. And do you know why? Because..."
Kyo: "Sorry to interrupt your little speech, but you're one of the cheapest talkers I've ever met. Now let's fight already! And I'm not going to lose to anyone who's nothing but talk!"

Flames Iori

Iori: "This will be the end of it all, Kyo... The end of my anger and the end of your life!"
Kyo: "Sorry to interrupt your dramatic monologue, Yagami, but I'd appreciate it if you would've make my schedule for me like that. I've got a date with Yuki planned for next week, and nobody's gonna get in the way of that!"

Goro Daimon

Daimon: "I see... I suppose it can't hurt to return to one's early years sometimes."
Kyo: "Uh, that's not why I'm dressed like this, man..."

Himself

N.Kyo (1): "I've seen so much crazy stuff in my life, this kind of thing doesn't even surprise me anymore. I've gotten used to fighting copies of myself by now! Come to think of it, when you're as popular as I am, it only makes sense that people would try to impersonate you."
N.Kyo (2):: "I have to say, you've really done your homework! You sound exactly like me. But can you copy my flames as well, I wonder... You'd better try your best if you don't want to end up in the hospital, Mr.Fake!"

Human Saiki

Kyo: "Hey, where's Ash Crimson? And don't tell me you're not related to the guy when you look like that."
Saiki: "Why do you ask? Shouldn't you be more worried about your own well-being right now? In about a minute, there probably won't be anything left of you but a pile of ashes, you know?"
Kyo: "Is that all you have to say? Guess I'll just have to make you talk!"

Hwa Jai

Kyo: "Are you sure you're gonna be okay, man? Muay Thai rules don't apply here."
Hwa: "Don't worry about stuff like that. I'd worry more about myself if I was you. There's no referee to stop the fight when you're lying on the floor bleeding to death!"
Kyo: "And there'll be no one to put you out once you're covered in fire, either."

Iori Yagami

Iori: "I will burn everything, Kyo! Not even a handful of ashes will remain!"
Kyo: "You think I'm gonna let that happen? God, you really think the entire world revolves around you, don't you?"
Iori: "Spare me your talk... Now you die!"

Joe Higashi

Joe: "Well, I guess even a dud like you can always serve to make the truly talented people look good. In that sense, the world tends to work out pretty well for everyone. Don't you think so?"
Kyo: "The only thing you're good at is spouting gibberish. You've got me beat when it comes to that, I'll admit."

K'

K': "Nothing personal here, but... just looking at your face ticks me off for some reason."
Kyo: "Hey, don't hate me because I'm beautiful, man! Let's make this an honest fight. Something tells me we could both do with some stress relief!"

Kim Kaphwan

Kim: "Kyo! Just look at my new disciples! They are trying to gain new lives through martial arts! How about it? Don't you feel like joining them at my dojo and working up a good sweat?"
Kyo: "I don't think those guys are fooling anyone but you, man."

King

King: "History isn't just about piling up years, Kyo. You have to use that time to actually improve yourself."
Kyo: "And what's that supposed to mean? You make it sound like I've been sitting around all this time."
King: "That's not what I'm saying. I just have the impression that you've been waving this "1800 years of history" thing around like some kind of status symbol. Those 1800 years aren't going to look very good if you just lose in the blink of an eye, are they?"
Kyo: "Oh, don't worry about that. There's no way I'm going to lose anyway!"

Kula Diamond

Kyo: "Act like a good girl and go home, will you? I don't want to waste my time having to fight weaklings!"
Kula: "Don't make fun of me! I can put out your flames with my eyes closed!"
Kyo: "Can you, now? Okay, but don't start crying if you lose! It'll make me look bad!"

Kyo Kusanagi

Kyo: "Look, I don't feel like talking about this, so let's just get with the brawlin' and see who's the real one, okay?"
N. Kyo: "Sounds good to me... After all, there's no way the real thing could lose to a fake, right?"
Kyo: "Exactly! So let's get going! This is the kind of messy situation I like to avoid!"

Leona Heidern

Kyo: "It always hurts me to look at you. You claim to have overcome the curse of your blood. Be honest with me. You're still not completely over the past, are you? I can tell just by fighting you."
Leona: "...Even so, I cannot run away anymore. I've decided I have to live with this fate."
Kyo "I'll say this: You know what you're doing, I can only honor that by fighting you without holding back. Let's go!"

Mai Shiranui

Mai: "It might have been a tournament I didn't enter, but either way, you're officially number one in Japan in mixed martial arts. So, as the true number one, I want you to understand that. You wouldn't want to disgrace your country, would you?"
Kyo: "I sure wouldn't. So I guess I'm going to have to knock your ass out now. You leave representing Japan to me. Go sit in the audience and cheer me on as I show everyone how awesome I am!"

Mature

Kyo: "All this whining about Orochi... Why don't you keep your petty little problems to yourself, huh? I'm getting sick of listening to you!"
Mature: "Oh, are you? Well I could always just kill you. That would solve a lot of your problems."

Maxima

Kyo: "Hey, if it isn't Old Man Cyborg! Aren't you sick of babysitting that twisted kid yet?"
Maxima: "Not at all. Besides, I get the impression that you have it a lot worse. At least I don't have to deal with some psychotic stalker following me around."

Raiden

Raiden: "Heheheh! You know what I like most about bustin' up pretty boys like you? The screams of horror from all the girls in the audience! Hearing the booing from the audience is the best part of being a heel!"
Kyo: "I don't know what goes on in the minds of you wrestling maniacs, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to disappoint you. There's no way I'm gonna let myself get beaten up by the likes of you!"

Ralf Jones

Ralf: "Oh, hi, flunkie! You still think your flames are hotter than napalm?"
Kyo: "Who're you calling "flunkie", old man? Watch your mouth, or it's gonna get burnt!"
Ralf: "Now, now, no need to get all upset over something like that. You'll never win if you don't learn how to keep your cool!"

Robert Garcia

Robert: "Hey, just so I know in advance... Do you have health insurance? Like, at all? 'Cuz you know you're going to be spending a lot of time in the hospital. You don't want to have to pay for all that yourself!"
Kyo: "Sorry to disappoint you, but I've never been in a hospital once in my entire life! ...Not as a patient anyway. You're the one who should be worried about yourself! Just think of what would happen to your company stock if you get beaten to a pulp here!"

Ryo Sakazaki

Kyo: "Hey man... Haven't you ever wondered what's the point in following your father's footsteps?"
Ryo: "I'm not following in his footsteps. I just ended up being really good at karate somehow. Besides, if it hadn't been for karate, Yuri and I would never have survived in that town. But why do you ask? Is something bothering you?"
Kyo: "No... No, forget about it. Let's just start fighting. And let's make this a good one!"

Saiki

​Saiki: "The power of Orochi is finally mine... I can't have some little brat foiling my plans again. It's time for the sword to disappear! Down to its very existence!"
Kyo: "What're you talkin' about!? You've got another thing comin', buddy!"

Shen Woo

Shen: "You seem to have been in a lot of fights... but you're still only a kid. You can't beat me."
Kyo: "Not when it comes to running my mouth endlessly, no. So, is "Shanghai's God of War" nothing but talk, or what?"
Shen: "Huh? Oh, so you're one of those types who never learns anything unless he gets hurt!"

Sie Kensou

Kensou: "I'm sure you've got a lot on your mind, Kyo, but don't worry about a thing and just go back to school. Leave the rest to Sie Kensou, Psycho Soldier and Justice Fighter extraordinaire!"
Kyo: "Huh? Who in his right mind would let you handle anything? You can start talking big once you've proven you're good enough to beat me!"

Takuma Sakazaki

Kyo: "Hey, if you've got that much energy to spare, why don't you put it to use sparring with my dad or something?"
Takuma: "It's exactly because of your father that I am here, Kyo. He asked me to break the nose of that no-good son of his."
Kyo: "That loser! So he's finally given up and started to get other people to do his stuff for him, huh!?"

Terry Bogard

Terry: "Hey, what's happenin', man? Hope your precious flames haven't started gutterin' out yet!"
Kyo: "You want to know how my flames are doing? Why don't I shove them down your throat, then?"
Terry: "Wow! Someone got out of the wrong side of bed today! This is gonna be a really heated battle!"

Vice

Vice: "There you are, Kyo Kusanagi... You and your miserable father have been thorns in my side for long enough."
Kyo: "Huh? My deadbeat dad has nothing to do with this! Besides, it's you people who never know when to quit! Right! I'll burn you to a crisp and you'll never show your face around here again!"

Yuri Sakazaki

Kyo: "So it only takes a single year for a complete amateur to master Kyokugen style!? Doesn't seem like there's much to it then, is there?"
Yuri: "What!? How rude! I mastered it in a year because I'm a genius! Isn't that obvious!? If you think I'm all talk, I'll be more than happy to show you in a real fight. Are you ready?"

Pre-Battle Dialogues

Iori Yagami

Kyo: "Well, just as usual, you look like you're trying to pick a fight with the whole world... Yagami, you've got no friends to speak of, do you?"
Iori: "Spout whatever garbage you want."
Kyo: "What, aren't you in the mood to talk?"
Iori: "First, I'm going to burn you to ash. Die, Kyo Kusanagi."
Kyo: "Alright. I'll finish you quickly!"

Kukri

Kukri: "Go ahead and throw this match, you Kusanagi clan douchebag. I'm only here to get to the finals. It's a waste of my time, having to beat all of you one by one. C'mon, hurry up and say something."
Kyo: "Hmm? Well, aren't you an embarrassment...? I'm not sure if it's brave or dumb of you to suggest I take a dive on global, live broadcast."
Kukri: "Heh, another dickhead who doesn't get it. This bullshit job is such a hassle."
Kyo: "I don't care why you're here. But as an officially selected fighter, you'd better show me a good time..."
Kukri: "Show you a good time? What the hell are you talking about? What, are you stupid? You probably took too many hits to the head. Management should look into shitheads like this and ban them in advance..."

Shun'ei

Kyo: "So you are old man Tung's secret weapon."
Shun'ei: "What of it? That's got nothing to do with you."
Kyo: "You're disrespectful for a rookie, not that I'm one to talk."
Shun'ei: "Kyo Kusanagi, I know all about you. Tung is always upset with me for not being able to control my strength. All I ask is that you get out of here before I kill you."
Kyo: "C'mon, doesn't that old man have any decent students?"
