Mortal Kombat X is set to ramp up inter-character rivalries with each combination featuring a different pre-match exchange. Developer NetherRealm Studios previously released Cassie Cage vs Kotal Kahn - now we gain a glimpse of what's to come from Scorpion vs Quan Chi! Watch the dialogue below:

A video posted by Netherrealm (@netherrealmstudios) on Nov 11, 2014 at 9:32am PST

Scorpion: You betrayed me, Quan Chi.
Quan Chi: Your rage betrayed you.
Scorpion: ENOUGH!

As in the timeline of the original games: it seems Scorpion is destined to learn of Quan Chi's manipulation of his undead revenge quest. The ninja spectre famously learned a similar truth in one of Mortal Kombat 4's memorable plot-twists [watch now], but it remains to be seen if his latest revelation is attached to the death of his family and clan - or some new indiscretion. Scorpion remained in Quan Chi's service at the close of Mortal Kombat (2011)'s reboot story mode.

Whether or not the oni head Quan Chi carries has any role to play: another factor for speculation - (and not the only one). We learned from reliable sources in October that the head is almost certainly that of Deadly Alliance sub-boss: Moloch. In that 2002 sequel, Moloch was instrumental in protecting Quan Chi from a vengeful Scorpion [with Drahmin].

Otherwise, no great revelations appear to come from this particular dialogue. Quan Chi is cold and sinister, Scorpion eventually resorts to shouting. Quan Chi will play a major role in Mortal Kombat X, as learned from his October Reveal Trailer.

The Guinness World Records 2015: Gamer's Edition has been unleashed upon the world - coinciding with the original publication's 60th anniversary! In it - the eighth volume of the video game specific annual - Guinness has named the Top 50 Record-Breaking Games as voted by readers!

The Independent reports, "More than 5,000 fans of the book from 140 countries across the world took to an online poll to vote for their favourite games..."

The finished list features an aggregate tally of franchises based on votes polled for individual games. The final result: Call of Duty is the #1 game for 2015!

Mortal Kombat makes the list at a respectable #45, beating out unranked global fighting game rivals like: Street Fighter, Tekken, Virtua Fighter and more.

The collated list is notably light on fighting games, in general. The only other traditional combat series represented are Super Smash Bros. (#39), and World Wrestling Entertainment (#41), who have been an annual console presence since 2000's PlayStation exclusive: Smackdown!. Online arena fighter (MOBA) League of Legends finished #16, reflecting its intense worldwide popularity.

This isn't the first time Mortal Kombat has been toppled by Acclaim's powerhouse franchise shooter Call of Duty, in 2014. Back in October; MK took silver at the 2014 Hollywood Reporter KeyArt Awards - runner-up to Kevin Spacey starring Advanced Warfare.

Fans looking to give their favourite series a boost can currently vote for Scorpion & Sub-Zero in Official PlayStation Magazine UK's all-time greatest PlayStation icons poll!

The complete roster of Mortal Kombat X characters is still a mystery - but when the game ships in 2015, we know each fighter will have plenty to say to his or her opponents! Unique pre-match dialogues have been of intense interest during convention previews, but typically muffled by the roar of the crowds. Following up on other examples; NetherRealm Studios used Instagram to offer a complete demo of character interaction between Cassie Cage & Kotal Kahn. Watch (and listen) below:

A video posted by Netherrealm (@netherrealmstudios) on Nov 11, 2014 at 3:38pm PST

Cassie Cage: Nice mini-skirt.
Kotal Kahn: A joke at my expense?
Cassie Cage: Nah. It's yours for free.

Second generation kombatant Cassie Cage delivers mocking levity with a nonchalance befitting of the daughter of both Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade. As you might expect, incoming Outworld conqueror Kotal Kahn plays a natural straight man in the one-two exchange.

Clues to story-driven details have drawn particular interest where character interactions have been concerned. This one doesn't give too much away, particularly given presumptions about both character's expected demeanours. Cassie is a little less exaggerated in her comedic delivery than her father - an interesting subtlety.

Will this muted characterization define Cassie Cage throughout? Is Kotal Kahn's mini-skirt truly up to the demands of the fickle winds of fashion? Register to share your thoughts on the Mortal Kombat X forum! Enjoy klassic video content by subscribing to Mortal Kombat Online on YouTube!
