Quotes[edit]

Warning: This key section of the article is incomplete. You can help the Guild Wars Wiki by expanding it.

The spectators for each round of the Norn Fighting Tournament are roughly divided equally into supporters for the player character, or supporters for the opponent. From the loading of the instance up until completion of the fight, they will periodically and randomly use one of these quotes, depending on who they are cheering for:

For the player character[edit]

"<character name> is the greatest <character profession> ever!"
"<character name> makes this look so easy!"
"<character name>, we love you!"
"Can I have your autograph, <character name>?"
"Give it everything you've got, <character name>!"
"I came today to see <character name>!"
"I wish I could fight like <character name>..."
"Now that's what being a <character profession> is all about!"

For the opponents[edit]

Alesia

"Alesia, stop rushing to get hit!"
"has [sic] been smitten with authority!"
"Heal, heal!"
"Just you wait, <character name>. When Alesia unveils her special attack you're going to be sorry!"
"She's trying to be a fighter? Now that's a wild ambition!"
"Wait... does she even have a special attack?"
"Wait, isn't she supposed to be a Monk?"
"Well, at least she's putting forth an effort."

Argo

"You'll find no shelter from the Turtle Clan champion!"
"Argo always goes for maximum impact."
"He doesn't fight like any turtle I've ever seen...."
"He calls it Argo's Cry, but it's his foes who are reduced to tears."
"I thought turtles were defensive creatures..."
"Leave nothing behind except scorched, red heart Argo!"
"Argo's fire will heat your soul!"

Cynn

"A woman's fury is more fearsome and cuts deeper than any blade!"
"Amazing! It's as if phoenix arrows were raining from the sky!"
"Hers are surely the flames of armageddon itself!"
"I heard Cynn torched a spectator just for saying Mhenlo's name... oops!"
"I think Cynn is beautiful... in an intimidating, terrifying sort of way."
"Oh my. Looks like she just unleashed the rage of the dragons!"
"Only ash lies beyond the destiny of facing Cynn!"
"She's quite the hellcat, isn't she?"

Danika with Brutus and Sheena

"Three at once? Now, that's a deadly alliance!"
"Those rot wallows are like a pair of fighting vipers!"
"Watch out behind you! Ooh, that'll leave a scar."
"Now that's what I call wallowing in misery!"
"Why can't I have a pet like that?"
"Brutus is the best!"
"Sheena is stunning!"
"I hope those two are housebroken!"

Devona

"Didn't I see her wielding a sword once?"
"Do you think her hair is pretty? Whoa... hammer swing!"
"I doubt anyone could withstand a second impact from that hammer!"
"I think she's building up to something special!"
"She punctuated that blow with a bang!"
"She's showing the ferocity of a true Warrior's rage!"
"This fight... will be deadly."
"Who needs speed when all it takes one good hit to win?"

Eve

"<character name> is about to pay the price!"
"Bitter Chill? That's cold!"
"Eve can be my minion master any day!"
"Eve will rip out your heart. Quite literally."
"She's dressed for a funeral!"
"She's talking to a skull... Does she do that often?"
"The violence is strangely... appealing."
"You are about to have a very bad day, <character name>!"

Ghostly Hero

"A hero in life remains a hero forever!"
"I see dead heroes..."
"I've heard of Conjure Phantasm, but this is ridiculous."
"Never take the Ghostly Hero for granted."
"This Specter is quite a spectacle."
"You can't win, <character name>! Your opponent is already passed on. Gone to meet his maker! You know, dead."
"You don't stand a ghost of a chance <character name>!"
"You'll need to exercise if you want to win this fight!"

Gwen

"Don't make her angry. You won't like her when she gets angry."
"Even the Charr couldn't stand against such fury!"
"Gwen's fierce will has ignited a fire within my soul!"
"Her skills are no illusion!"
"I feel like I've been waiting years for this!"
"I'll follow you anywhere, Gwen!"
"My father always told me, "Beware the pretty ones, they're deadly!""
"That attack was mesmerizing!"

Headmaster Vhang

"Beat <character name> Headmaster Vhang style!"
"I made a "Fear the Fangs of Vhang!" sign, but the guards took it away."
"I really got a charge out of that attack!"
"I thought lightning never struck the same place twice... How many times is that, now?"
"Make 'em respect your authority, Headmaster!"
"Now that was a disciplinary action!"
"School that <character profession>!"
"Watch out for Mind Shock. That one'll blow your mind!"

Kahmu

"Come on, Kahmu! I've got gold riding on you!"
"Go for the eyes!"
"Hit 'em, Kahmu! Kick 'em! Bite if you have to!"
"I hear the Norn regard Kahmu as an equal, but he doesn't really seem hairy enough."
"Kahmu is strong."
"Kahmu! I love you!"
"When Kahmu swings his scythe, the gates of the Underworld rattle in the breeze."
"Use your Scythe Mastery! SCYTHE MASTERY! ...He's not listening."

Kilroy

"Are those even special attacks, or is he just babbling like a two-mouthed ratfish?"
"At least he's eager."
"He went at <character name> like a spider monkey!"
"I can't tell if this guy is a brilliant fighter or just brain damaged."
"Now here's a fighter that really has fatal fury!"
"Now that's what I call hyper fighting!"
"Why does he keep shouting out random attack names?"
"Win or lose, at least Kilroy's matches are over quickly."

Kisai

"<character name> has no dignity!"
"Do your best, Kisai!"
"I came here to see Kisai's lightning kick!"
"Kisai, you possess power that <character name> only dreams of!"
"That attack was shocking!"
"There's nothing to be afraid of. <character name> is a poor excuse for a <character profession>!"
"Trap them with your infinite Gust Loop!"
"You can do it, Kisai! Be brave!"

Koss

"<character name>! You just got KOSSED!"
"Hey Koss, show us the move that always impresses the girls!"
"Koss is like a wild beast unchained!"
"Make your move Koss, you know you want to!"
"Strike first! Strike hard! No mercy!"
"Surely his formidable hairstyle is the source of his strength!"
"That is how Koss rolls!"
"Wow, this escalated quickly."

Little Thom

"Have you seen this guy's Axe Rage Spiral?"
"He faked his swing with a False Ascalon Cancel! Unbelievable!"
"He's just swinging his axe around... Do the move!"
"I misread the name on the bracket as "Little Thorn.""
"That JUST happened."
"This is just like a lumberjack fight. Except trees don't usually fight back..."
"What a street brawler. Did you see his third strike?"
"With a mustache that impressive, there's no way he'll lose this fight!"

Lo Sha

"He fights for a woman?"
"His movements... they're almost hypnotic."
"I'll bet <character name> will have images of remorse after this fight!"
"Is it really practical to fight in a tunic that opulent?"
"Less illusion, more violence!"
"That was a high tension move!"
"What a puzzling fighter!"
"Why does he keep spinning around like that?"

Lukas

"He's actually left-handed? Such deception!"
"I heard Lukas created his own school of fighting. He calls it Lukas-fu!"
"I wish this fight could go on forever... Hey now! Don't dream it's over!"
"That blow was mightily struck!"
"These fighters were truly united by fate!"
"This battle requires brains, not brawn... and Lukas is loaded with both! Booyah!"
"This fight could seal Lukas's legacy as an eternal champion!"
"Wow! Dodged his slash. What a bust!"

Nika

"She has such skill. What is this Assassin's secret?"
"She moves like a silent shadow, taking life like light."
"Nika can slash her daggers ten times before you could breathe once!"

Magni the Bison

"<charater name> might make it out of this fight... but dead, or alive?"
"At long last, the final fight!"
"I don't think anyone can stop Magni's savage blows!"
"I'm so excited, I can't feel my toes!"
"I've never seen a clash like this!"
"Magni is the king of fighters!"
"Magni's not a man, he's a machine!"
"The heavens themselves quake at the force of Magni's blows!"

Melonni

"Come on, Melonni! Even Tahlkora can do better than that!"
"Did someone cast Blurred Vision, or did I just see Dwayna herself?"
"Okay, THAT looked like it hurt."
"Round and round the Dervish goes. Where she stops, the blood always flows!"
"Shouldn't she be a little dizzy by now?"
"That move left me speechless... right about now."
"That slash used a half circle back!"
"This match is so ex-scythe-ing! *cough* Hey, is that Palawa Joko over there?"

Mhenlo

"Forget Dwayna... Give me Mhenlo's kiss."
"I can make you forget about Cynn."
"I wish Mhenlo would cast Life Bond on me!"
"Lyssa has blessed us all, to see such beauty!"
"Marry me, Mhenlo!"
"Mhenlo is truly Heaven's Delight."
"Mhenlo, heal my aching heart!"
"What I'm contemplating certainly isn't purity..."

Morgahn

"<character name> is cool, but Morgahn's moves are hot!"
"Do you really think you can beat Morgahn, <character name>? He fought a god... and he won."
"Don't give up your spear!"
"Hey, <character name>! Morgahn said knock you out!"
"Hurry up and win."
"It's Morgahn's wisdom and tactics versus... what does <character name> have, again?"
"Now that was a stunning strike!"
"You'll have to think faster, <character name>. He's still four moves ahead of you."

Norgu

"Apparently, sometimes the truth IS stranger than fiction."
"I can't wait for his new plays. I hear they're a prequel trilogy, so surely they must be as good as the first three!"
"I heard Norgu was seven feet tall, with arms like tree trunks, and eyes like steel, cold and hard. I'm kind of disappointed."
"I hope he'll sign my copy of Norgu's Nightfall when the fight is over."
"I've heard that Norgu is the greatest hero in all of Elona!"
"The pen is mightier!"
"This is no time for a soliloquy, fight!"
"Wait... if he's their greatest that doesn't say much for Elona, now does it?"

Old Mac with Joe

"Hey! That's the guy that was stealing my succulent junipers!"
"I think I like devourers better when I see them coming."
"Is there no end in sight? This is truly the longest day!"
"Joe is truly a sexy beast!"
"This fight is just a bridge too far for <character name> to cross!"
"This is madness!"
"This match has it all: the good, the bad and the devourer!"
"Watching these two fight is how I learned to stop worrying and love the devourer."

Orion

"Careful where you're casting. You almost hit me!"
"Cast Fire Storm. Now!"
"Does it look like he's enjoying this just a little too much?"
"I smell burning hair."
"Is he really just going to keep casting Flare?"
"Is it hot in here?"
"Oh! I think Orion just looked at me!"
"Orion really has a one-track mind..."

Panaku

"Sweep the leg!"
"Protect that eye, kid!"
"A killer for hire! A would-be hero! It's almost like a clash of rival schools!"
"Death blossoms in Panaku's wake!"
"Wild Strike, for the win!"
"I told you, Assassins are better than corsairs!"
"With the precision of the cobra, Panaku kills and leaves no trail!"
"Send him to the Depths, Panaku!"

Razah

"Have you studied death yet <character name>? Here's your chance!"
"Oh my gods, what is that freakish thing?"
"He's got eyes in the back of his head. Or does he...?"
"Headbutt! Use the Enadiz move with that spiky head!"
"I hear it was really hard to get Razah here for the tournament."
"Razah knows all about causing anguish!"
"Show <character name> the path to the mists, Razah!"
"Such a slow, calculated battle! The pressure on <character name> to not make a mistake."

Sogolon

"I saw Sogolon's Heavenly Spear Drive once. It was transcendent!"
"I want to see Sogolon's Holy Smash!"
"If this guy fights as well as he preens, this should be an excellent match!"
"Less flash, more smash!"
"This guy fights like a turtle."
"We want to see more primal rage!"
"Who does this guy think he is? Some kind of a big deal?"
"Why does he keep winking at the audience?"

Talon Silverwing

"Did you just say something about the aerie? Bad move. Very bad."
"Go for the eyes! Peck them if you have to!"
"He's puffing out his feathers... now you're in real trouble!"
"Huff again, Talon. I think it's breaking <character name>'s concentration!"
"I've heard of rumble fish, but a huffing bird?"
"Show us death from above!"
"Talon is the last blade you'll meet in this tournament."
"Uh oh! Now you've ruffled his feathers!"

The Great Zehtuka

"Does this guy even know this is a fighting tournament?"
"I don't get it. Why does he keep running away like that?"
"I see... he is playing a pressure game with his traps!"
"I think this guy lacks a killer instinct..."
"Perhaps his tales of adventure were slightly exaggerated...."
"The Great Zehtuka is legendary in Elona. Legendary like the Scarab Plague.
"This is certainly one of the more... unique... fights that I've seen."
"What the... there's no crying in tournament fighting!"

Vekk

"<character name> is frozen with fear!"
"<character name> will be lucky to make it out of this with just a bad case of frostbite!"
"He sure knows how to fight, for a little floppy-eared... whatever he is."
"His attacks must be at sub-zero temperatures!"
"Now that's what I call giving someone the cold shoulder!"
"The ferocity of that attack was just chilling!"
"Those Asura certainly have the most impressive war tech."
"What is that thing?"

Warmaster Tydus

"Applying poison in the middle of a fight is just dirty. I love it!"
"Get out of the sun, 'cause it's raining arrows!"
"Hey man... nice shot."
"I got distracted... What just happened?"
"Kite, kite!"
"Show us what a master of war can do!"
"Watch out, <character name>. Tydus has his eye on you!"
"With shoulder spikes that big, he means business!"

Xandra

"Come on, Xandra! You're just playing with them!"
"Go Xandra! Go Xandra! Goooooo XANDRA!"
"I have the Xandra scroll hanging in my room!"
"Luxons rule. Kurzicks wear makeup."
"That's it! Aim for the face!"
"Xandra is so elegant."
"You can do it, Xandra! Stay strong!"
"You go, girl."

Zho with Onyx

"Did you get the point? Huh? Point? Get? Hello?"
"Headshot!"
"I've never seen a moa quite so fine."
"No one lives forever!"
"Such an exotic bird! Do you think it tastes like chicken?"
"The feathers are really flying now!"
"You're in for moa pain now... hah! I kill me."
"Zho has an excellent track record!"
