"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.

"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.

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.
