Sometimes there's nothing that puts another character in their place or establishes another quite like a good taunt, whether 'post-mortem' or 'pre'.
Games sometimes get a lot of slack for having generic 'badass' taunts. The same for Bond's plethora of one-liners or the pitiful mewling encountered in online multiplayer, but what would you consider to be a taunt that hits just the right notes in a game? It can be preexisting or something you made up, though the latter would be preferrable, and if necessary provide some kind of context for it.
"Give my regards to the devil". I had never heard this in any work of fiction before but it just popped into my head one day. The taunter/soon-to-be-executioner knows he's killed too many foes to go anywhere else when his times comes, but you know what? He's okay with that. Kratos might have used it if he was in a world of Christian figures rather than Greek.
