"So you're giving up, then?"

Short, to the point, and fairly difficult to counter. That'd be pretty good...except that you kind of need to insult you opponent in order to win a fight. If you were to just say they're not worthy and walk away, you'd technically be surrendering.

Ah yes, that didn't occur to me.

"I'm holding back so you won't be at too much of a disadvantage."

Once again, short and biting is good, but that was pretty easy to turn around. Jibes about your opponent's patheticness are always good but, unless you get somewhat creative, tend to be fairly easy to counter, usually by more or less throwing them back in your face.

"Oh my-not only are you too deaf to hear me, you're blind, as well!"

That was pretty good, although I think you could have just left it at "you're stupid" than to say "you're a zombie."

Also, flattery will get you nowhere.

I wasn't flattering. I was just being humble, cuz my skills do need some work for one thing x3

That's because, unlike you, I used to swordfighting.

Not bad (although you forgot the apostrophe m in I'm). I don't know if I would give it to you (swordplay is swordfighting, after all), but I probably would.

(Oops, how embarassing. And after all that talk that went on about spell-checking :sweat: I'll be more careful now.)

It's you who's blind! You're talking to a tree!

Not very original, but it's simple, to the point, and works very well.
