Adelheid Bernstein
|
...Pathetic.
|
|
You fought well. Hoo, hoo, hoo...
|
|
I hear you, brother! A symphony for victors!
|
|
Winning's everything. How you do it doesn't matter!
|
|
You've exceeded your father. But does it matter?
|
|
You must be joking! Are you really so powerful?
|
|
Justice? It's but a cloak in which violence hides.
|
|
You see ahead without doubt, but miss what's around you.
|
|
|
|
Ash Crimson
|
Well, that's that. The exit's that way!
|
|
That's all your stuff? You guys are whack!
|
|
Don't play your trump card till the end... the very end!
|
|
You're weak, creepy, and pesty. Consider euthanasia! Ha ha.
|
|
You really do a good me. An "A" for effort! Ha, ha!
|
|
You're quite a honey. Want to play some more?
|
|
You know... you're good at giving me the heebie-jeebies.
|
|
You're quite intriguing, but I've gotta go. Later.
|
|
|
|
Athena Asamiya
|
Hee, hee. Like my new costume, do you?
|
|
Thank you for your cheers! It's time for my encore!
|
|
They call me Athena Asamiya! Join my fan club, okay?!
|
|
Master, are you watching? I'm battling like a goddess!
|
|
Is that your stage costume? It's quite unique, isn't it?
|
|
Huh? Where's your pal? Finished his parole, has he?
|
|
Huh? A-an autograph? Sorry, not during matches.
|
|
Quite a tough mission, huh? Relax and listen to my tunes.
|
|
|
|
Benimaru Nikaido
|
Beauty and ability... I'm such a bad boy!
|
|
Don't hate me for my power. It's hard to be so talented.
|
|
What a perfect turn of events! My fans are sure to grow!
|
|
They'll remember my victory! Your loss will be forgotten!
|
|
You disturbed my routine. I got thrown off my game!
|
|
Hmph. Why you...!
|
|
The reason you're tired isn't only due to my blitz attack!
|
|
Now who said, "Leave everything to me!"?
|
|
|
|
Billy Kane
|
Give up? Don't blame me... Gyah ha ha.
|
|
I'm used to dealing with freaks like you!
|
|
You bled on me! My new leather jacket's ruined!
|
|
You'll live. But if it were my town, you'd be history.
|
|
What creepy eyes... nose, mouth, and ears!
|
|
I haven't forgotten you... It's payback time! Big time!
|
|
Hyah, ha, ha! Nice outfit, blondie!
|
|
A perfect time... to get rid of you!
|
|
|
|
Blue Mary Ryan
|
You've gotten a new partner? Aren't you the lucky one! I'll show you.
|
|
Phew! What a workout! We'll do it again! See you!
|
|
Try using your brain. I can read you like a book.
|
|
You can't escape my polished articular moves with force!
|
|
Did you try to fake me out? ...Not very good at it, huh?
|
|
Is it true you try to hit on all the girls?
|
|
Try opening up a little, huh? I used to be like you. It sucks.
|
|
You tried to knock me out with every blow. Lighten up, pal!
|
|
I've had it with you! Don't make promises you can't keep!
|
|
|
|
Chang Koehan
|
Phew! I'm knackered... I'm not up for bashing.
|
|
I can't get my ball up. If only Choi were here.
|
|
I'm just a brute, you say? It takes skill to bash like me!
|
|
No matter how quick you move, my steel ball will squash you.
|
|
M-Master Jhun... I just got carried away...
|
|
As I thought: You got claws, but you're no Choi.
|
|
Call my steel ball unfair? It's nothing compared to you!
|
|
Who are you calling villain? I've gone straight, I have!
|
|
|
|
Chizuru Kagura
|
This is... the strength of the Watcher!
|
|
Mirror to mirror... an endlessly false image.
|
|
You dance in the mirror. You destroy yourself.
|
|
The mirror does not lie. It sees all strengths and faults.
|
|
...I must defend. Against any foe.
|
|
Go back to that gorge of the mirror...
|
|
You will fulfill the duty and mission of the three vessels.
|
|
Sister...
|
|
|
|
Clark Steel
Clark Still
|
Boy oh boy. Just how many battles left?
|
|
Sorry, but I got experience. I can't lose in combat.
|
|
Why don't I lose the shades? Because I don't need to.
|
|
My intel on you was right on. I won because I should have.
|
|
You'd be a fine mercenary. Ever consider Special Ops?
|
|
Every once in a while, eh, Ralf? But is age slowing you down?
|
|
Muscles aren't everything. You gotta have "guts!"
|
|
You, Leona... You both could use a personality transplant!
|
|
|
|
Duo Lon
|
The match is decided. Let the victor pass.
|
|
You fight well... but until I meet him, I...
|
|
Do you hear it? The mosaic of souls in the void.
|
|
Do not avert your eyes. Gaze upon my true being.
|
|
I salute your ability... Can't believe you did that well.
|
|
It seems he is not here. ...Farewell.
|
|
Look into my eyes and know: Are you too Destiny's victim?
|
|
Like you, I too take fate by the neck.
|
|
|
|
Gato
|
That's it...? What a waste of time.
|
|
You won't die. You'll live long with your shame.
|
|
Crush your collarbone... and your silly pride, I hope!
|
|
More than skill, you lack guts! You're nothing but scum!
|
|
Lose the pansy face, fool, or I'll smash your nose!
|
|
...Hmph!... Get along, little girlie!
|
|
You slavish city-vermin! Scram, or I'll stomp you!
|
|
Unskilled half wit! Be gone with you!
|
|
|
|
Goro Daimon
|
Do not underestimate the power of Judo!
|
|
Hmph! My geta strap broke... What an ill omen!
|
|
With powers like yours, it's "ippon" for me, bud!
|
|
Weakness is strength! Let not my appearance fool you!
|
|
You can't win KOF's if you underestimate your opponent.
|
|
Your fists are marshmallows. You gotta shake the earth!
|
|
Just like the old Kyo. But this time, I win!
|
|
What polished moves... Kyokugen Karate's scary!
|
|
|
|
Hinako Shijo
|
Yeah! I matched you for every move, loser!
|
|
You may not agree, but victory is mine, right?
|
|
If I win KOF, I'm making a commemorative loincloth!
|
|
What a match! Let's try it in the sumo ring sometime.
|
|
It's okay. Even a waif like you can be a sumo wrestler.
|
|
Ah...! I want to share it... This special feeling...
|
|
U-uh... y-you're really suited for sumo, I think...
|
|
Uh, Mai... I really think you should rethink that outfit.
|
|
|
|
Iori Yagami
|
Suffer! And writhe in agony!
|
|
Burn, baby, burn! Until your blood boils!
|
|
Look to eternity! Look to the moon and me!
|
|
I'm sick of screams. Why don't you just die?!
|
|
You small fish! Drown in a sea of blood!
|
|
You can't escape the Orochi. Both you and I are cursed!
|
|
Think I pity you now?! Guess again! ...Die!
|
|
Not even close. This amount of suffering won't appease me...
|
|
|
|
Jhun
|
Boy! What a lousy workout! Guess I better find Kim...
|
|
Selfish foe. I'd better look for Kim in a real match.
|
|
How weak! Kim's even stronger than you. Whoops! It got out!
|
|
You're good, but at your level you can only hope to beat Kim.
|
|
Oh, no! What have I done?! Athena! Honey-pie!
|
|
Kim! I'm looking forward to our next battle!
|
|
I-it's good to be spunky, but weapons are a no-no!
|
|
Oh, man! You're like... No, you are a real wimp.
|
|
|
|
Joe Higashi
|
Ora! Ora! Next! Bring on the next victim!
|
|
Look at me! I'm Mr. KOF! Dig this fab physique!
|
|
Yeah! I'm in my groove! Bring on the next corpse!
|
|
OK! Aim the cameras here! It's time for my monologue!
|
|
You rookies ain't just got it. I'm what you ought to be!
|
|
This KOF's totally turbulent, too, 'cause I'm the stormbringer!
|
|
You look a little green. Had raw oysters for dinner?
|
|
Ouch! You shouldn't use a whip on a half-naked opponent!
|
|
|
|
K'
|
What a bore...
|
|
Isn't there anyone here worthy of fighting me?
|
|
Why do you fight when you know you'll lose? Fool!
|
|
I told you so, didn't I? "Leave everything to me."
|
|
I don't know your plans, but dreams rely on ability.
|
|
Oh, give me a break. One fool after another...
|
|
Whose memory is yours?
|
|
Can't follow the whip, you say? Looks like I can!
|
|
|
|
Kim Kaphwan
|
What a tough fight... But, oh, how I've matured!
|
|
Strength without justice is just violence. Got that?
|
|
Violence is not the answer. Belief soothes a lost soul.
|
|
Immature! So immature! Tae Kwon Do is just what you need!
|
|
Your might is not right. Repent... No, I shall make you!
|
|
You again? When will you stop impersonating me?
|
|
Concealed weapons! Blasphemy! Repent while you still can!
|
|
You're just a brute. All the more reason to repent!
|
|
|
|
King
|
Oh, you're bleeding. Wipe it off with this.
|
|
Speed isn't everything. Make the contact count!
|
|
Look, game over. Beat it, or I'll boot you into space!
|
|
Fighting's a test of intellect. Prove it? Who won, fool?
|
|
Quite a learning experience. Let's do it again next year!
|
|
When you turn 21, come see me. I'll fix you a drink!
|
|
You're quite a gallant kid. But you need more practice.
|
|
I held back. If I didn't, you wouldn't be whimpering now!
|
|
|
|
Kusanagi
Cloned Kyo
|
And there it is! Wash up and start anew!
|
|
A rude welcome, I fear. Did you enjoy it?!
|
|
You lack the flames... A dreg's always a dreg!
|
|
You burn like paper! I thought you were better!
|
|
So what about you is exactly "Kyokugen," huh?
|
|
Well, this's convenient. I can get rid of you in one sweep!
|
|
Only your mugs are special! You're nothing but flash!
|
|
If you want to be noticed, you need suitable ability!
|
|
|
|
Kyo Kusanagi
|
It's a law of history: I don't lose so easy.
|
|
What miraculous stamina! Taking such a basting!
|
|
What?! I guess KOF without me just isn't KOF, right?
|
|
Like the raging flames of the sun. That is the fist of Kusanagi!
|
|
You never change. That's why you always lose.
|
|
Hmm. You got the look down. But you lack the substance.
|
|
You never evolve... That's what you're all about!
|
|
A year sabbatical's being lazy? ...Well, ya got stamina, kid!
|
|
|
|
Leona Heidern
|
It's just a scratch. My mission continues!
|
|
Stop your cowering. I'm through with you...
|
|
You need more training. That's all I got to say.
|
|
Now just stand still. Move, and the wound will be deeper.
|
|
Can you escape it? Escape Fortune's wheel...?
|
|
Consider a ponytail. Your locks are a liability.
|
|
Raging against your fate... You're tough, aren't you?
|
|
That's it: Mission over. Back to base. End of story.
|
|
|
|
Mai Shiranui
|
Oh, my. What's wrong? You gotta try harder!
|
|
Your desperate tactics can't defeat the Shiranui!
|
|
Now do you understand? I've both beauty and agility!
|
|
Elusive, protean! My moves dazzled you silly, right?
|
|
I'd rethink your outfit. Huh? Is that new underwear?
|
|
Your moves have improved. I just squeaked by!
|
|
Andy isn't here because you're losing it, blondie!!!
|
|
Andy, are you in that mask? ...No, it can't be. 'sigh.'
|
|
|
|
Maki Kagura
Kagura (KoF '96 GameBoy)
|
This is the power of... the Watcher!
|
|
The mirror reveals all. You rage in my palm...
|
|
While you injure me... you dance but in the mirror.
|
|
Mirror to mirror. The source of all that's false. Chizuru...
|
|
The sacred mirror shows not your soul... What are you?
|
|
The mirror leads light to dark. Chizuru, only you...
|
|
Impossible! Has the decline of Yasakani gone this far?!
|
|
...Pathetic! ...The fist of Kusanagi has lost its punch!
|
|
|
|
Malin
|
I told you so. Leave everything to Malin!
|
|
It's not unfair! It's just my fighting style!
|
|
My knife, my hammer... What should I use next?
|
|
Ouch! I'm really PO'ed! I'm bleeding! It's all your fault!
|
|
Hey! What if someone gets hurt with those weapons?
|
|
Can't you lighten up? A winner's one who enjoys life!
|
|
Kya, ha, ha. You're funny! What's your name again?
|
|
You should really hang it up, ma'... uh, young lady.
|
|
|
|
Maxima
|
Go home. Know when to quit. You cannot be repaired!
|
|
Your moves lack inspiration. I read 'em all. So easy.
|
|
All systems functional. I'm ready for 10 more matches!
|
|
By my reckoning, you'll need 3 months to heal. Godspeed.
|
|
Sorry. I'm used to fighting you flamers.
|
|
Clear and simple. A romp. I was three seconds ahead of you.
|
|
Your moves and motion... Fascinating. It'll be noted.
|
|
You knocked me off-guard. That's just like you...
|
|
|
|
Mukai
|
Give up!! Abandon all hope!
|
|
How does it feel, becoming a living statue?
|
|
Your body is but dust! Return to your origins!
|
|
Do not think you face a simple thing like death!
|
|
You are all talk and no substance!
|
|
A blossom's life is brief, but has value, doesn't it?
|
|
Those who seek might will die by might.
|
|
Hoo, hoo, hoo... You dance to my will!
|
|
|
|
Ralf Jones
|
O-ow! That last punch was right on the money!
|
|
Hit the road, amateur. It's the pros' turn now!
|
|
You lack spirit! I got a good drill sergeant in mind!
|
|
I'm the squad leader here! Why do I get the dirty work?
|
|
Turn those pea-shooter punches into bazooka blasts!
|
|
Sorry, toots. But I'm a pro at combat like this.
|
|
You may be good at street fighting, but this is war!
|
|
Yeee-ikes, Whippy! You're good! Heh, heh.
|
|
|
|
Robert Garcia
|
Talk about petering out! Fight to the end, fool!
|
|
Lighten up. Looks like we got a sore loser here.
|
|
So I'm just hardworking, am I? You should be so lucky!
|
|
Yes! Once more I pull victory from the ashes of defeat!
|
|
I hate these big guys... That was a toughie!
|
|
Impersonate me to hit on Yuri, did you? You're dead!
|
|
That's what I expect, Ryo! I love a real Kyokugen clash!
|
|
I can't hold back, not even against you!
|
|
|
|
Ryo Sakazaki
|
Hold on! No show of gratitude after a match?
|
|
I'm still ready for more! I won't be stopping here!
|
|
Tricks can't beat Kyokugen! If you fight, fight fair.
|
|
Do not ignore defeat. You must face it to overcome it.
|
|
What a weenie! Come to my dojo and I'll pump you up!
|
|
Why so blue, soldier? Considering your discharge?
|
|
You got the style, but not the substance!
|
|
I win this one! I can't wait for the next match!
|
|
|
|
Shen Woo
|
Hey, get up...! I'm not happy yet!
|
|
It's no fun fighting wimps like you! Get lost!
|
|
Heh, heh, heh. You're good. You're no mere punk, huh?
|
|
That's it! That's the pepper! That was the fight I wanted!
|
|
Who's truly tough? Now you know, huh?
|
|
Hmph. Punks like you... I guess that's all you got.
|
|
Ashamed? Then get more ability before you face me again.
|
|
You're the man! It's been a while since I had such fun!
|
|
|
|
Shingo Yabuki
|
Walk in the park...!!! J-just kidding. Medic!
|
|
What an amateur! I just get better every year!
|
|
Ooh, ya! I feel good! Winning rules! Whoo-hoo!
|
|
"Feeling the burn?" ...I've always wanted to say that!
|
|
I knew there'd be no flames! But I shot 'em, right? Right???
|
|
I'm used to shooting the flames... Ou-ou-ouch!
|
|
How 'bout that? I've gotten stronger, don't you think?
|
|
Man, I thought that Maxima would have my butt! Word...!
|
|
|
|
Terry Bogard
|
I'll take you on again, anytime, anywhere!
|
|
A true fighter! I even had to pay attention!
|
|
A little short on stamina? Spent it all at once, eh?
|
|
You've got the muscles, but you don't have the heart!
|
|
Tell your boss: After KOF, I'm coming after him!
|
|
What gives? What're you all huffy about, Mary?
|
|
Tightly strung as ever! That last punch... rattled my bones!
|
|
Just changed my image and already I got impersonators.
|
|
|
|
Tizoc
The Griffon (Japan)
|
I swear on my mask: I will never lose!
|
|
As long as kids cheer me on I will not be beaten!
|
|
Get up! Not for yourself, but for your cheering fans!
|
|
Thank you, kids of the world! Your cheers are my power!
|
|
You're too scrawny! Are you a finicky eater?
|
|
Dirty tricks can't stop Tizoc!
|
|
Your looks belie your power. You're great, girlie!
|
|
As a fighter, you're hopeless. But I'll proudly take the win!
|
|
|
|
Whip
|
You pass. You can survive the battlefield.
|
|
Fly to your mommy and avoid the whip? Guess again!
|
|
Still think whips are wimpy? I'll fillet you like a fish!
|
|
My whip's awesome. And my hands and feet aren't bad, either!
|
|
The wait's over. I'll thin you down before you repent.
|
|
Hmph... That's my Leona... Two peas in a pod, we are.
|
|
Who's "Whippy" now? ...You listening, Ralfy-boy?
|
|
You didn't know? Only the whip can tame your beast!
|
|
|
|
Yamazaki
|
Feel it with your soul! That's the ultimate pain!
|
|
You need to snivel more. Now, give me a big kowtow!
|
|
That's all you got, eh? Give me a little resistance!
|
|
Gyah, ha, ha! Just look! Quaking with shame! Gya! Ha!
|
|
That cudgel of yours is really annoying!
|
|
What? You can't forgive villains like me? Gyah, ha!
|
|
You? Has your new look turned you into a sissy?!
|
|
Who's going to feel the sting now, toots? Gyah ha!
|
|
|
|
Yuri Sakazaki
|
Yuri, you are perfection. Nobody can stop me now!
|
|
That's the Kyokugen way! One big "Ah-Cho!", that is!
|
|
If you can't do a "Haoh Sho Koh Ken," you can't beat me.
|
|
Don't let my looks fool you! I'm a Kyokugen master, I am!
|
|
It's high time I make the most of my adult allure, eh?
|
|
I love your groovy clothes. Maybe I should change my look?
|
|
You look good in that outfit! ...Sorry I ruined it for you.
|
|
What's wrong, big bro? ...Weak from hunger, are you?
|
|
|
