* In ''[[DragonballZBudokaiTenkaichi 3 Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3]]'', fighters who have an existing relationship will have different dialog both before and after combat.

What a character says while standing victoriously over their opponent's battered body very often give players insight into the characters personality. It can be anything from waxing philosophic to gloating over their victory, from cocky ([[SoulCalibur Maxi]]) to slutty ([[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Lilith]]) to modest ([[SoulCalibur 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.

* ''StreetFighter'': The screen displayed after a battle features the faces of both fighters, with the loser's face bloody and bruised and the winner's quote below. ''Street Fighter II'' only had one per character, but later games would add more.
** And of course, a famous incident in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' gave rise to [[UrbanLegendOfZelda the rumor of hidden character Sheng Long]].
** In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' in Arcade mode, each character has a specific victory quote for every other character.

--> "What strength! But don't forget there are guys like you all over the world..."

** One inversion from SNK: ''ArtOfFighting'' 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, ''FatalFury'' 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 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 winquotes against everyone as well as generic ones.

* In ''DragonballZBudokaiTenkaichi 3'', fighters who have an existing relationship will have different dialog both before and after combat.
* Appears in ''FinalFantasyX''. All games before that (along with X itself) stick with the traditional VictoryPose.

* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' has various domination quotes.

* ''{{Xenosaga}}'' would feature a quote from whichever character struck the killing blow on the last enemy of random encounters.

* ''TeamFortress2'' has various domination quotes.

** In additions, every playable character in ''DissidiaFinalFantasy'' 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 ''FinalFantasyIX'' talking about Garland from ''FinalFantasyI'' as if they know him because their game had a Garland as well), others are more generic.

* ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'' gives each character a handful of stock ones, one "fill-in-the-blank" (where they refer to their partner by name), and individual ones for each opponent (in reference to the starting fighter). They're used at random.

* ''Xenosaga'' would feature a quote from whichever character struck the killing blow on the last enemy of random encounters.

* MarvelVsCapcom3 gives each character two victory quotes per match, one spoken aloud during a VictoryPose, and the other written in a speech bubble on the next screen. There's quite an impressive selection, which sometimes leads to apparent mood swings from the victor.

A FightingGame trope, often going hand-in-hand with the VictoryPose, 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 seperate screen devoted to the pose and the quote, 3D fighters will often combine the two.
