- Hey! Not bad you made it here, it's Sol Badguy's Joji Nakata. How's everyone doing!? Man... Those graphics are just amazing, huh?
- What do you guys think? Hm? Yes, well... I suppose it took you guys a lot of effort to make it this far, too.
- I guess you could call yourself an amateur solider or whatever. But the path to mastery is still a long ways away.
- Keep playing different characters, and explore everything this game has to offer.
- Hm? Music? Oh yeah, it rocks, doesn't it. You see, I'm not good at fighting games because my reflexes are just not fast enough. Hm? Yeaaaah, I didn't buy it.
- Which happens sometimes, but... All you kids can react like no one's business, so yes... Keep playing different characters and have fun!
