A guide containing each insult and comeback.

Part I: Duelling with Pirates

Note: Credit goes to Masked-Man

After convincing the Captain Smirk on Mêlée Island that you ARE man enough to be trained with the sword, (and paying 30 pieces of eight), he will take you inside and teach you a few basic insults.

Returning to the main map, there will be pirates walking around that you can get into a swordfight with.

No.InsultComeback
1You fight like a dairy farmer.How appropriate. You fight like a cow.
2This is the END for you, you gutter-crawling cur!And I’ve got a little TIP for you, get the POINT?
3I’ve spoken with apes more polite then you.I’m glad to hear you attended your family reunion.
4Soon you’ll be wearing my sword like a shish kebab!First you better stop waiving it like a feather-duster.
5People fall at my feet when they see me coming.Even BEFORE they smell your breath?
6I’m not going to take your insolence sitting down!Your hemorrhoids are flaring up again, eh?
7I once owned a dog that was smarter then you.He must have taught you everything you know.
8Nobody’s ever drawn blood from me and nobody ever will.You run THAT fast?
9Have you stopped wearing diapers yet?Why, did you want to borrow one?
10There are no words for how disgusting you are.Yes there are. You just never learned them.
11You make me want to puke.You make me think somebody already did.
12My handkerchief will wipe up your blood!So you got that job as janitor, after all.
13I got this scar on my face during a mighty struggle!I hope now you’ve learned to stop picking your nose.
14I’ve heard you were a contemptible sneak.Too bad no one’s ever heard of YOU at all.
15You’re no match for my brains, you poor fool.I’d be in real trouble if you ever used them.
16You have the manners of a beggar.I wanted to make sure you’d feel comfortable with me.

Battle as many pirates as you can to learn each of the insults and comebacks above.

Part II: Duelling with the Sword Master of Mêlée Island

When you’ve fought enough people that they start to tell you that “You should fight the Sword Master,” return to town, and go back to the storekeeper. Ask to see the Sword Master and then follow him very closely when he leaves.

Once you arrive at the Sword Master’s house and the shopkeeper is rejected, walk up to her and ask to fight her…

I love two things in life, games and sports. Although sports were my earliest interest, it was video games that got me completely addicted (in a good way). My first game was Crash Bandicoot (PS1) from the legendary studio Naughty Dog back in 1996. I turned my passion for gaming into a job back in 2019 when I transformed my geek blog (Re-actor) into the gaming website it is today.
