Ripper
While gameplay/characters are the most important part of the game, the care NRS took with the presentation has set the fighting game bar for years to come. The banter between characters before a fight has helped define and develop many of the characters more than any arcade ending could since not all of them are main story protagonists. The original cast of characters had the benefit of getting the most out of this, but for a lot of players, the DLC characters, starting with Goro, are just as important and could use being brought up to par in that regard.
I know it's difficult and costly to add new lines of dialogue, because it also requires facial animations to match those lines. But if new dialogues between characters could be added using the lines and animations in the order they were released, would that help DLC characters get more lines?
Since I don't know the answer and since I really enjoy this aspect of the game, I've written down dialogues in the same order (line 1, line 2, line 3) they are in the game for DLC characters. I'll post them here, because I don't know where else to put them.
I'll start with the Shokan prince;
GORO:
(Vs. Goro)
Goro 1: A rival?!
Goro 2: For your throne.
Goro 1: You are a worthy opponent.
Goro 1: Show your true face, coward!
Goro 2: Kintaro is a striping commoner!
Goro 1: That is a lie!
(Vs. Bo' Rai Cho)
Goro: I nearly bested you.
Bo' Rai Cho: Then you know what I can do.
Goro: I am ready.
Bo' Rai Cho: I am a master of combat!
Goro: How, exactly?
Bo' Rai Cho: Hmph! Protect yourself!
(Vs. Cassie Cage)
Goro: Daughter of Cage.
Cassie: Sure as your name is 'bitch face'.
Goro: I will not abide your mockery.
Cassie: Nice mini-skirt.
Goro: You are nothing but noise!
Cassie: Guess the fun's over...
(Vs. D'Vorah)
Goro: D'Vorah...
D'Vorah: You have walked into a trap.
Goro: It matters not.
D'Vorah: You will feed the hive.
Goro: I will destroy you and your hive!
D'Vorah: Struggle all you wish.
(Vs. Ermac)
Goro: You exude psychic energy...
Ermac: Born from Shao Kahn's magic!
Goro: In which you will drown!
Ermac: You betray your realm.
Goro: Away with you, pest!
Ermac: Die, boastful one!
(Vs. Erron Black)
Goro: Another Earthrealmer...
Erron: I work for the Emperor.
Goro: I serve no Emperor!
Erron: Shall we, Goro?
Goro: Your final task as underling.
Erron: You'll drop in one shot.
(Vs. Ferra/Torr)
Goro: Ferra/Torr.
Ferra/Torr: Torr walk on your head.
Goro: No one can, child!
Ferra/Torr: Big boss want talk!
Goro: I despise claptrap!
Ferra/Torr: Stomp and smash, Torr!
(Vs. Jacqui Briggs)
Goro: A rival?
Jacqui: Well, it looks that way.
Goro: Your fortitude outpaces your wit!
Jacqui: I don't like this.
Goro: It fears me...
Jacqui: You go right on thinking that.
(Vs. Jax)
Goro: Die, parasite!
Jax: What, we're not friends anymore?
Goro: None will mourn your passing!
Jax: Any time now!
Goro: Begone, metal man!
Jax: I'll take it under advisement.
(Vs. Johnny Cage)
Goro: Johhny Cage.
Johnny: Oh, goodie.
Goro: I have indeed "shown up."
(Vs. Kano)
Goro: Kano.
Kano: You could use a friend like me.
Goro: There is no honor in you.
Kano: Your highness.
Goro: You are not my subject!
Kano: Whatever.
(Vs. Kenshi)
Goro: Swordsman!
Kenshi: Sento will serve me well.
Goro: Then let us begin.
Kenshi: My ancestors aid me.
Goro: As well they should.
Kenshi: Well, that's... considerate.
(Vs. Kitana)
Goro: Kitana!
Kitana: Your very presence mocks me.
Goro: Your words seal your fate.
Kitana: Shao Kahn's lackeys must die!
Goro: Begone, Edenian!
Kitana: I think not.
(Vs. Kotal Kahn)
Goro: Ko'atal!
Kotal: You will respect my title!
Goro: The Shokan serve no one!
Goro: A rival?
Kotal: Your heart will burn in my hands!
Goro: I will tear you apart!
Kotal: Goro.
Goro: I'm not allied with you, dark lord!
Kotal: You have chosen death!
Kotal: You challenge me?
Goro: For your throne!
Kotal: Trial by combat!
(Vs. Kung Jin)
Goro: Kung Jin!
Kung Jin: This won't be a challenge.
Goro: I will wring your Shaolin neck!
Kung Jin: You face a Shaolin!
Goro: The Great Kung Lao.
Kung Jin: Funny, real funny.
(Vs. Kung Lao)
Goro: Kung Lao!
Kung Lao: You seek my death?
Goro: I fight, that is all.
Goro: Another Earthrealmer!
Kung Lao: Fool, you face Kung Lao!
Goro: It hardly matters.
Kung Lao: You think yourself superior?
Goro: Judge for yourself.
Kung Lao: My skills will speak for me.
Kung Lao: A challenger!
Goro: The house of Kung will fall!
Kung Lao: That won't be happening.
(Vs. Liu Kang)
Goro: Prepare yourself!
Liu Kang: I am ready.
Goro: You face death like a warrior!
Goro: I nearly bested you.
Liu Kang: I will be glad to win again.
Goro: You will taste Shokan fury!
Liu Kang: The time has come.
Goro: I had hoped so...
Liu Kang: You will regret this decision.
Liu Kang: Here we are again.
Goro: Liu Kang!
Liu Kang: This will end quickly.
(Vs. Mileena)
Goro: Mileena!
Mileena: I was born to rule Outworld!
Goro: It hardly matters.
Mileena: Traitor!
Goro: You brought ruin to Outworld!
Mileena: Who told you this!?!
(Vs. Quan Chi)
Goro: Quan Chi.
Quan Chi: You have found me, and now?
Goro: I shall remove your treacherous head!
Quan Chi: The Shokan prince.
Goro: Do you harbor Shokan souls?
Quan Chi: No, death.
(Vs. Raiden)
Goro: Raiden.
Raiden: I have foreseen your defeat.
Goro: Never, deceiver!
Goro: You train Earthrealmers.
Raiden: Their protection is my purpose.
Goro: I will never aid Earthrealm!
Raiden: You followed me...
Goro: And I will crush you again!
Raiden: You will receive no mercy.
Raiden: You oppose me?
Goro: Earthrealm is my enemy!
Raiden: I should have killed you years ago!
(Vs. Reptile)
Goro: Reptile...
Reptile: I thought you were dead.
Goro: I hide from no one!
Reptile: You've one chance to depart.
Goro: You are wise to fear me.
Reptile: I do not fear your power!
(Vs. Scorpion)
Goro: Scorpion!
Scorpion: You would test your strength against mine?
Goro: Arrogant Earthrealmer!
Scorpion: Begone, Outworlder.
Goro: Combat me or admit your cowardice!
Scorpion: You will fall by my hand!
(Vs. Shinnok)
Goro: Shinnok!
Shinnok: Grovel, and I might spare you!
Goro: Here is what you are owed!
Shinnok: Weapons will prove ineffective.
Goro: For you, yes.
Shinnok: Arrogant to the end.
(Vs. Sonya Blade)
Goro: Sonya Blade!
Sonya: You and me, right now!
Goro: You face death like a warrior!
Sonya: You're a general?
Goro: One who will best you!
Sonya: I don't see that happening.
(Vs. Sub-Zero)
Goro: Sub-Zero.
Sub-Zero: You cannot match my skill!

I'll add the dialogues for the other DLC characters later in this thread.
Who do I need to tag on this? @tylerlansdown Anyone else? Someone let me know.
