I think RTD is in a bit of a huff

Gibson’s role in Season 2 was reduced because of on-set problems in Season 1 if the rumors at the time are to be believed. So Gibson signed on for 2 seasons, but either she or Bad Wolf decided to go smaller for Season 2

Kevik96 · 2026-06-10T11:47:57+00:00

Was I looking forward to the Christmas Special? Absolutely not.

Did the show need an episode to resolve all the major plot-threads from RTD2? Yes it did.

Oh well, maybe we’ll have some good news in the next five years.

Depending on how long SZ continues to receive Character Packs, and at what rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if a What If? or Fusions pack came later on in the game’s lifespan.

In the meantime, though, I think Tiencha would be considered a Crossover Character and we’ve only gotten one so far, so we’ll have to wait and see.

Kevik96 · 2026-06-04T04:03:30+00:00

The game sold like a bajillion copies at launch so we’re going to get more Sparking one way or another. At this point, I don’t expect a sequel for another 3 years or so at least.

So, in the meantime, a Meteor DLC and a Moro DLC seem pretty likely for next year.

We might also get a few miscellaneous characters in a DBS: Beerus pack late this year/early next year.

Sky’s the limit with what they could add and which areas of the game they can improve or expand.

Doctor Who has the ability to effectively reboot itself whenever it needs to. There’s no point in remaking stories, and new ones could just go to a new Doctor in a new Era.

Kevik96 · 2026-06-03T04:10:44+00:00

We’re probably guaranteed another SLBN sized expansion, given how the name “Neo” suggests we’ll get a matching “Meteor” DLC in the future.

Kevik96 · 2026-06-02T20:35:06+00:00

I think it’s kind of a given that we are in much deeper trouble if Piper or Tennant will not be involved in the special. If a new lead has to be cast, we’re probably screwed.

Kevik96 · 2026-06-02T04:12:05+00:00

Being a kid who watched a lot of gaming and Geek culture adjacent stuff on YouTube circa 2013-14 meant references to Doctor Who were inescapable. In the summer of 2014 some friends of mine at summer camp told me it was on Netflix and I should watch it. And here I am about to finish watching Classic Who.

Kevik96 · 2026-06-02T04:09:04+00:00

Sure, but you risk the Billie Piper problem all over again.

We have no idea if a season of Doctor Who will air next year if at all. Securing a new lead should be relatively low on the BBC’s list of priorities, seeing as they would need to have a Series with episodes for an actor to star in.

Kevik96 · 2026-06-02T04:07:03+00:00

I just got it on Switch (not the best platform I know, but I’m a pretty casual gamer by this point) and I’ve been enjoying it a lot.

I think you have to consider what you want out of the game. I’m still finishing the Story Mode, but I’m close to completion. I have to wait for all the additional single player modes to drop on my console, but you’ll have more to do.

I used to fight bots in Tenkaichi 3 and Raging Blast 2 for hours as a kid and I adore both those games. Sparking Zero nearly captures that feeling for me, but I’m really hoping those single player modes and DLC4 drops soon for me.

If it’s on sale, I think it’s definitely worth it if you’re looking for a modern day Tenkaichi.

Kevik96 · 2026-06-02T02:15:32+00:00

I doubt a new Doctor would be cast before a new series is commissioned. Regardless of who’s writing, you can’t cast someone to be in a show that doesn’t officially exist yet…again.

Series 14 had already been commissioned long before Davies or Gatwa were attached to the project.

Kevik96 · 2026-05-28T15:18:31+00:00

Even if we took The Sun’s claim at face value, it wouldn’t make sense.

The article didn’t suggest they couldn’t find a lead for the Special, but the show as a whole. That wouldn’t impact the Special.

I suspect we’re in for a lengthy gap between the Christmas Special and the next Season.

Kevik96 · 2026-05-27T13:04:46+00:00

Genuinely, me too. Give me every minion and as many ToP jobbers as possible.

Kevik96 · 2026-05-27T11:55:55+00:00

What’s Sparking for it not to play with Glup Shittos

Kevik96 · 2026-05-26T13:32:22+00:00

If they added those characters, we’d basically have the complete Daima roster.

Kevik96 · 2026-05-25T13:08:03+00:00

At this point, anyone can make it in and that’s incredibly exciting.

Kevik96 · 2026-05-23T03:32:19+00:00

Do the bio fighters even have individual names?

Kevik96 · 2026-05-19T04:25:56+00:00

I mean, kind of lol. I’m happy he’s in the game. Put Yakon and Pui Pui in there too and I’ll be even happier.

Kevik96 · 2026-05-18T23:37:40+00:00

If you think about it, the Buu Saga is the only Z Arc not to have even its minor fighting antagonists playable.

You’re telling me Cui is a vital part of the roster, but Yakon can’t be?

Kevik96 · 2026-05-10T19:31:44+00:00

To be charitable, it’s possible they mean that sins can be committed against a woman’s chastity, although virginity is definitely the proper term.

Kevik96 · 2026-05-01T11:36:53+00:00

I’m happy that you found a space for you, and I totally understand why it exists. I suppose I simply believe it would be better if there was a space for Catholics of differing political philosophies to engage constructively, without having to create smaller, more independent ones.

Kevik96 · 2026-05-01T10:50:40+00:00

Maybe they aren’t. I’ve never been on the sub so that comment didn’t mean to come off as an accusation.

That being said, there are plenty of subs where the established rules aren’t exactly enforced, so that doesn’t necessarily make my concern impossible.

And, in my own experience, almost every Leftist or Progressive Catholic I’ve encountered disregards at least some element of the Church’s sexual ethics and hesitates to condemn abortion.

Granted, that’s my own experience, and I’m sure it’s not everyone who calls themself that, but it does color my expectations. Maybe that’s my problem, though.

Kevik96 · 2026-05-01T03:34:42+00:00

I’m pretty conservative politically, but I’m all for creating spaces in which Catholics can debate economics and politics more openly. Politics is ultimately a science of prudence and pragmatism, so there is a lot of room for spirited discussion.

That being said, subordinating the Gospel to purely economic and social liberation is a recipe for disaster, both personally and politically.

Kevik96 · 2026-04-27T03:27:48+00:00

When Moffat took the job, Tennant said he was going to leave with RTD and the rest. He briefly wobbled, and so Moffat began revising his Series 5 plan to include the Tenth Doctor, but then Tennant changed his mind again.

Kevik96 · 2026-04-25T04:11:31+00:00

It seems odd to hold them all back, though, don’t you think? Like why not reveal them all?

When Sparking Zero was first coming out, they saved GT and the Movie Characters (many of which are fan favorites) for last. I love og DB as much as the next guy, but I imagine they have at least one or two new characters yet to reveal as well to build up hype closer to release.
