Virtua Fighter 3 Quotes (Taunt FAQ) by: Donny Chan Special thanks to Donny Chan for allowing me to display his work. Vidgame-playing Netters may use these quotes in their signatures and taglines. About the victory poses: After a round, during the Replay, the player can hold one of the four buttons to choose the character's victory pose after the Replay. In an one-player game, the player can hold one of the buttons on the other player's side to choose the CPU character's victory pose. The players can tap the Start buttons to skip the Replay and victory pose. VF3 doesn't seem to have the slow-motion Replay option (hold G+P+K) from VF2. Umenokouji AOI (Umenokouji is pronounced as "oo-meh-nor-kor-jee". Aoi is pronounced as "ah-oy", not "ay-oh-yee". Umenokouji means "small road of apricot/plum", and aoi means "hollyhock".

Hold [?]: He back flips and puts his arms horizontally before his chest. Hold db+G+P+E: He does the peace sign at the players and grunts.
