Duel Guide

The duel guide is a list of what the characters you are duelling might say, and the actions
that they will perform.
Duels play like Rock-Paper-Scissors, Attack beats Defend, Defend beats Deathblow,
Deathblow beats Attack.
So going by this guide, for example, if Jimba says "You're quite skilled. How about this?"
that means he's going to use Attack and you should counter with Deathblow.
The En Garde, Victory and Defeat quotes are simply what they say at the start of the duel
and when they win/lose, though only the En Garde and Victory quotes are actually used ingame but we've included them for completions sake.

Let's see what the White Maiden can

withstand.
It's been an even match. Until now.
Ha! There's no need for discretion
here, White Maiden.
A little too meek to stop me.
I will triumph over you!
We're even now. But not for long.
Saucy knight!
If that is how you wish to battle...
Have you prepared yourself?
Such a lack of passion. I'll spice this
up.

I'll withstand your worst.

So you are serious after all. But how
serious?
Show me your skills are as sharp as
your tongue.
Where's the sport in this? It's not a
battle if you don't fight.
I suppose you're good enough to be
called 'White Maiden.'
You have some strength after all.
Allow me to see it in action.
A battle of resistance...
Without caution, attack is useless!
Hmm. Too tired to give me your
best?
That won't help us decide who wins.

By the power of Karaya...

Power of the Earth Spirits!
I shall finish this now. Earth Spirits,
give me strength!
Ah, just like a little girl. What about
this?
Earth Spirits... Empower me!
We can't hack away all day. I'll have
to bring this to an end.
Very well, stay like that!
My Karaya brethren, lend me your
strength!
Let's make this the final blow.
That wasn't very exciting. Try this!

Damn! I better take a breather.

Now it's your turn.
Phew! I'll take a moment to recover.

Good work. Now it's my turn.
Now it's time for me to strike.
We'll lose our audience if we carry
on like this.

Perhaps I should have thought this

through...
I've never had to play it this safe
before.
Quite solid, but is it luck or skill?
Well, well.... Having trouble? Maybe
next time.
Is this a staring match or a battle?

You're a formidable opponent. This

This has carried on long enough. I'll

You can give me those looks all you

So valiant....
I'll show you my deathblow attack.

Ah, looks like I tried too hard for

I won't go down that easily!
Let's cut to the chase.
I'll punish you!
I'll show you my deathblow attack.
You're a tough little one...
Tsk, tsk. Such weak-hearted
behavior...

Let's start with this...

What'll it be now?
Well, well! A little conceited, aren't
we now?
Oh dear--pity for you, we're just not
the same level.
Ooooouuuuch!
My word! You are agile!
I better be careful...
I'll show you my deathblow attack.
I better move cautiously...
What shall I try next?

I'll go easy at first. Are you ready?

Not bad. I'll take another shot.
Your skills still need honing. Watch
and learn.
That's wise of you. Keep defending.
I'll put you down for a long nap.
That was fine work. I'll stop holding
back as well.
You're really giving it your all.
Maybe I should try harder, too.
Have you learned? You are far too
meek to be a champion.
You've got some talent. But I've also
got a few tricks.
You haven't perfected that yet? How
would you judge this?
Our strategies are similar. Let's see
what you make of my next attack.

I'll stand still. Attack with all your

might!
Very well, then. Come at me again!
What's wrong, Flame Champion? It's
time to attack.
You're far too submissive. Try a little
aggression.
Maybe I'm trying too hard...
Why don't you show me what you're
really made of.
Playing it safe, eh? Go on. I'll take
what you deliver.
Not bad. Try it again.
Is that all? I thought you had more in
you.
A passive champion at best. Come
on now, have at me!

I won't hold back. Defend yourself!

No more holding back. Here it
comes!
You carry the name of Flame
Champion? I will prove your
unworthiness....
You're a quiet one. Can you
withstand this?
You might have skill after all. But
what will you do with this?
Commendable. But have you ever
seen this?
My little Flame Champion, your
game stops here.
If you won't let down your guard,
then I'll take it down.
You're far too predictable. And
now... I strike.
I don't care to do this all day. Let's
finish it.

So you're not worthy after all.
Wretched coward!
Cocky child!
Quick as a bee, aren't you? See how
you like this.
Don't congratulate yourself yet.
We've only begun!
Let me take a swing.
This'll teach you about fighting.
I gave you your chances. Now you'll
writher in pain.

You're as predictable as the sun.

Land your shot!
Hmph. That shows promise. One
more time. Come on!
Your turn. Show me what you're
made of.
Not bad, I suppose. Try it once more.
Ha! Not bad. Try it again!
You cannot win with just defense.
Attack me!
Take your best shot. And try to make
it interesting for me.
Very nice. I'll defend. Do your worst
again.
Come on, attack me!

Don't bore me. Here's how it's done.

Your weakness astounds me. Must I
cut you up right now?
Useless coward! Meet your maker!
So you're playing for keeps? Well
then, so am I.
Nimble rodent. Now I'll silence you.
I'll slice you to pieces!
You shouldn't give me that much
space. No matter.... This is the end!!!
Here's what happens to children who

What's wrong, Geddoe? You wanted

Come on now, are you really that

I'll return that!
But will you be as lucky next time?
Well, well. Aren't you cunning?
Not bad at all. I'll go full speed as
well.
Don't get too tired. Take a rest and
I'll finish this quickly!
Don't put me to sleep, Geddoe.

All right then, let's see what you've

got.
That luck will run out!
So what do you want to do? Come
on, I'll give you a chance.
Don't just stand there! Attack!
Maybe I underestimated you. I'll be
careful.
You've gotten quick.
The next attack is yours. Come on!
Hardly felt a thing. Try a little
harder.
Nice try. I'll take it as many times as
you can bring it.
How long do I have to wait!

No quarter given!
Better than I thought, Geddoe. Now
take this.
Is that all it took? This should finish
it.
If that's your game, I've got a little
gift for you.
Grrr.... Not bad. Now try this!
That was disgraceful. Now observe
my recovery!
Hold still!
You seem to enjoy this. But you
won't care for this next part....
Nice effort. Here's how it's done!

Here we go....
What? Is that it?
If you only defend....
Don't feel too good about that.
Are you still trying?
When are you going to stand up and
fight?
Now I'll get you back.
You're so predictable.
Enough messing around!

It's been a while. Let's see if you've

improved.
At least you don't fight worse than
before.
I wouldn't hold still like that.
I believe this is how to properly
defend oneself.
That was good, but probably the best
you can do.
............
This is taking too long.
Sorry, no effect.
Are you getting enough to eat?
You're not very effective.
So, we think alike after all.

This will let you know how glad I

am to see you again.
I'll help you remember your past.
Booooring. I'll spice things up.
I'll slice you out of your misery.
Now it's getting interesting.
Stop squirming for a moment.
As always, you're quick to stand
back from a challenge. See if you
can do that again.
You shouldn't feel too proud of
yourself just yet.
And now, the finishing stroke.
Goodnight, Watari.

What's this? All defense?
Don't get cocky.
Now I know what you're up to.
Don't chicken out on me.

Come on and take a shot!

Might as well play it safe.
Come on, try to enjoy this at least a
little!
Nice work.
Why don't you show me what you've
got.
Let's think this through...
I'm not myself today.
Don't get shaken...
Settle down, settle down...
I see we're both cautious.

I'll end this right away.

Nice work. Now how about this?
This should finish it.
Try defending against this!
Time to get serious.
Give me everything you've got.
