Speaking of MK guest characters I wonder where they're gonna go with it this time if we assume they stick to characters from sci-fi/horror thrillers.
Excluding Ash Williams and maybe Pennywise I can't see a timeline where they top Jason, Leatherface, Alien and Predator.

Wait, WHAT?!? You can't seriously want Isabelle on the receiving end of Fatalities!!!
But then she gets to kill people by crafting a house with them inside and have it explode. Kind of balances out. Let her in!

Not a horror movie character, but I'd love to see a Terminator get in, specifically the T-1000 from Judgment Day if possible.

I finally found my code for Piranha Plant. Turns out I just wasn't looking in quite the correct place.

So I guess now all I've got to do now is wait until February.

Kind of weird how they probably wouldn't bring them back for some odd reason.

I mean, Freddy in MK9 was basically the :ultcorrin::ultroy: for the reboot that went absolutely nowhere.

I actually expect a DC dude to show up, maybe Red Hood if Erron Black is out of the running.

Persona 5 had a Dragon Ball reference followed by a Jojo reference in the 2 consecutive classroom questions.

They’re going to Hawaii and the first question was about King Kamehameha’s statue what it holds in his hand. An option was “a dragon ball”. This time was about the feeling of when the second hand of a clock looks like it doesn’t move. One of the options was “The World”.

That reminds me, I have to watch the most recent Special, I only caught the tail end of it because I had to go to the Bathroom.

Regarding Jodie Whittaker, I have mixed feelings about her first Season. While I like Jodie Whittaker and the main cast, there's something about the show that kind of doesn't land with me.

The most clear example I can cite (and the only one that actively stuck out to me) was the cartoonishly over-the-top "*******" nature of the American Hotel Manager (whose name I don't care to remember or look up) in the Spider episode, That's not even getting into the fact that the writer of that episode apparently thinks a slow, painful death from asphyxiation is a preferable way to go out than a mercy kill.

I guess that's true. Tom Baker is the one that everyone remembers, though he did have the longest tenure by far. Peter Davison had a tough act to follow, some (like David Tennant :laugh:) would say he did so quite well.

Speaking of other Doctors that you didn't list; among older fans, Colin Baker is considered the worst Doctor of the original set; of course, that's mostly because of the writing. The Sixth Doctor has apparently become one of the most popular among the people who read/listen to the Expanded Universe (i.e. the Novels and Audio Books), when actually given good stories, it turns out he fares quite well, funny that...

There's also the matter of what went on behind the scenes with Colin Baker, the show-runner apparently didn't like him, and was also sleeping with his wife. It's no wonder he didn't come back for the regeneration scene into Sylvester McCoy (it was after a hiatus).

Sylvester McCoy is another unpopular one (my Dad doesn't like him much, he always, and I mean always, talks about him in a negative light when reminiscing about old Doctor Who), from what I've heard, his run got increasingly dark (and well written) as the series progressed, but by the end of his seasons, it was too little, too late, and the show was cancelled.

...Of course, it probably would have gotten cancelled regardless, Michael Grade, the Controller of the BBC at the time, absolutely hated the show.

Finally; apparently, Paul McGann is apparently a pretty popular Doctor, his Novels/Audio Books being the main (if not sole) reason for said popularity (almost exactly like Colin Baker's Doctor), the short that he got during the 50th Anniversary actually gave a shout-out to his companions from those stories.
...I also want to mention that it's a little funny to me that you put Matt Smith and Patrick Troughton close together on your list, because Matt Smith based his portrayal on Troughton (specifically, he watched the Tomb of the Cybermen for research, IIRC)
The characters are all likable, but the stories themselves are either somewhat good or somewhat forgettable. Series 11 is average...not bad by any means, but it doesnt have the magic of a great series (like series 1, 4, 5, 8, and 10). I think Whittaker is a decent doctor, but she doesnt stand out as much as the ones I ranked above her. However, I do find her personality significantly more entertaining than Hurt and McGann. Overall though, Chibnall is EXCELLENT at writing drama...but writing comedy and sci fi is hit or miss for him.

Tom Baker is defo the most memorable doctor for a lotta people. I have only seen one story of his stories all the way through, though.

I havent finished Pertwee through McCoy so they arent on the list. From what I have seen though, Colin gets too much hate. Only seen a couple stories of his, but he's a fine actor and his doctor is memorable.

It's sad about McCoy. All I have seen is Time and the Rani and Curse of Fenric, and I liked him in both those stories.

McGann I have found to be forgettable. He's nice and all...and that's about it concerning his tv/main material. He wasnt that memorable in the movie, sadly.

Both Troughton and Smith are amazing, but I put Troughton higher because in season 6, everything was awkward...including Smith's doctor. Inconsistent character development to an inconsistent series.

If this Persona 5 R thing is like an updated version I kinda hope Mishima gets added as a playable character. Also another female character.

Having urges to return to Starlink: Battle for Atlas :ultfox:

And I'm still waiting for Ubisoft to release digital versions of the 1 pilot, 2 ships, and 1 weapon that are not included in the Collection 1 Pack DLC (and waiting for Collection 2 Pack DLC too).

Paul McGann has the major disadvantage of only having two broadcast stories to his name (the Movie and the 50th Anniversary special), kind of hard to be memorable when you're only able to see the beginning and end. :laugh:

I mentioned the extended universe before, actually the story in that collection I'm most interested in looking into is "Spare Parts", which is a Fifth Doctor story about him ending up on Mondas during their conversion into being Cybermen.

...I swear, the Mondas Cybermen are the Doctor Who 'race' with the most origin stories in the series, it's like every writer forgets that the story has already been told so they tell it again.

Mishima and Hifumi were both originally going to be playable, I've heard. In fact, Hifumi was originally going to be Queen (being the Shogi girl and all), until Makoto took that role.

I don’t know who Hifumi is but I’m glad we got Makoto instead.

Hifumi is this girl, you can find her in the Church.

In essence, they cut her because: "Ehhh... the story's long enough as it is."

Holy **** this would be great.

It be perfect Metroid promotion too.
Ikr? The sucky part is that Link or Samus would get in before Ridley if there is going to be a Nintendo exclusive character in Eleven which I highly doubt the chances of.

Had a good day today. Tried out the BK nuggets. They were alright (and for $1 a 10 piece, cheap), so I wasn't as heartbroken about leaving my lunch home. Just got a new pair of slacks for work, and they're a little tight, but they're doable. Learned about the bad storm coming our way, so I went to the store and piled up on some stuff just in case we lose electricity.

But I'm feeling good. Gonna turn on my emulator and play some Pokémon Orange.

I’ve never met her before lol
I'm not surprised, I can't imagine the player has any reason to enter the Church except to explore randomly.

I do suggest at least meeting her and getting to Confidant Rank 1, since her first support ability gives you the ability to switch out party members mid-battle during Joker's turn.

Hahah yes! Had a romantic “date” with Makoto in Hawaii.

Wait, what!? Why didn’t you tell me this sooner!!

Does it replace Joker’s turn or what?

That is true, and I should probably give his audios a shot to get to know the character more.

However, even comparing him to other doctors, he hasnt left as strong of a first impression on me. Ex: only 4 story ive seen is Genesis of the Daleks, and I like 4 more than 8 already when comparing what Ive seen of the two. And, I havent officially ranked 4 yet since I havent finished his tv run yet.

Alright.

Broly was some good DB.
*shuffles anxiously because I probably won't get Broly in cinemas where I live*

Well, I can't see your gameplay. :laugh:

Well, when the Novels and Audio Books basically make up 99.9% of McGann's run, it's worth looking into. :laugh:

I should get more into Doctor Who myself, I was originally going to watch all of the Tom Baker episodes, but circumstances prevented me from proceeding past the The Sontaran Experiment, which is hilariously early in his run. (I'm a terrible fan)
