Niu gets it.
1. Kiss the -rings-, bitch.- Bruiser's a champion fighter and is not bright. (For those that don't know, kiss the rings: my team has championships and yours doesn't.)
2. I get easier as the game goes on.- Bruiser is an unscaled boss fight. He is impossible when you first get to his town and dies in a hit at endgame.
3. I respect your strength and will join the party!.. just don't leave this town.- If you somehow beat him when you first get to his town, he'll join but leave when you exit the town. It's stupid.
