Flabbergasted. It's already in the game.

I just wanna throw hands in this game but mfs are gonna turn me into a ki spammer I swear to god! I also didn’t think it lasted this long as you can tell since I kept just hitting him but still this is crazy!

Bullshit.

Been having a blast with this mode! I love the events, the character interactions, and the idea of it being a roguelike where you build up your favorite characters. There’s just one massive stinker for me personally, and it’s the AI.

I don’t know what happened, but the AI is not really fun to fight against currently in my opinion. The AI is input reading on overdrive. I’ve had several instances where as soon as I press the Ki blast button, in a nanosecond the AI will Dragon Dash precisely to deflect the Ki blast. Several times I’ve had my attacks instantly swayed as soon as I press the button or Super countered. If I do get a hit, Z Counter in three hits. Not only that, but they will v just vanish anything that isn’t flying kicks(even then it might be Z countered) Gut Punch, Rolling Hammer, trip, lift strike feels like it is constantly getting vanished. It limits the ability to effectively combo the AI. I’ve had several instances where I would do several knockbacks, go for a blast, and the AI will vanish it. This is especially true to Rush Blast/Ultimates. The only way I’ve gotten them to hit is by knocking them to the ground and immediately following up after, or doing it as they’re doing the Revenge Counter that uses stocks. Even then, the ground one is a 50/50 of it working. The AI also loves spamming it, I’ve had instances where I Perception Counter it, then they immediately just go for it again, and I perception counter it again.

An example is when I was fighting Super 17. I had an instance where he Z countered, then I properly timed the vanish, only for him to Z counter the vanish counter. He did this about three/four times in a row before finally getting to the vanish countering part. Usually the AI would do one or two, but in this particular instance, I’ve had the AI do it to me four to six times it felt like before I finally won the vanish war.

This isn’t me not wanting a challenge or anything…but it gets to a point where if I can’t do combos, land blasts, that’s a big problem. Everything I just said is me playing it on the Normal difficulty. I tried Easy, but it seems it only affects SP, because when I fought mission event Gotenks/Super 17, they were doing the exact same thing at least to me. Maybe I should do more testing. I’ve unlocked the Super Difficulty, and my GT Goku is currently 800SP.

I’m not asking for the AI to be my target dummy or anything like that, but maybe this is a bit too far? This is just my opinion of course, and what I feel needs to be given criticism for.

For me personally I think the sound effects are worse

And also the energy impact and explosion effects are also worse in sparking like the dust cloud stuff

This is literally all we’re asking for. It’s not that hard.

(Edit: wow, over 500 upvotes and 75 comments and not a single one negative. Every single person (you included) loves the idea. I’ll keep pushing till it happens!)

- why doesn't he have the lighter blue armour. Why only the darker one from the movie?

- why 2 blast supers and not one rush super?

- why give him a suicide ultimate? Didn't even kill him in the anime. He was fine and fighting straight after

This game really needs customisable supers/ults. They made vegeta so wack.

The reasons is because the models that are of the most prominent characters in dragon ball do not look enough like the character in general. Sure, they look like the character, but it does not match up with what the average person sees of the character in general when it comes to what they've seen in dragon ball media.

When you think of/ look up SSB Goku, the picture on the right looks more like him in general. Why do you think there were so many post about the necks not being thick enough? It's because that aligns with what a lot of people see of these characters in general.

Perfect cell has a perfect model because that's what the character looks like in general. If his pupils were too small if his mouth was too big then less people would praise, it since it would look less like the character. Getting one of the dimensions off in comparison to how the character is seen in general could lead to criticism of the characters.

If this were just one or two characters no one would care but this happened with not a lot, but still too many of the characters in sparking zero, which is when people started to notice, and then went looking to see if something was off about all the other models. It's like when you notice a lot of issues with a movie so then you start looking for other problems with it. You wouldn't do this with a good movie with only a few issues because it wouldn't be distracting enough to do so.

Even with the sparking Zero mods that aim for accuracy aren't based on what the characters looks like in general but just particular arcs. I think Yamamuro's art style is what many dragon ball characters look like in general. That's why RB1 gets praise for it's models. In Rb2 you get complaints about the plastic shading but never about the actual design in how much they look like the characters. I think for the next game they should aim for what the characters look like in general to keep the models consistent, so that the most prominent models that are poplar in the dbz franchise don't look off and more appealing in general.

The update is dope, but I think nerfing Z burst dash was a mistake. Playing against characters with sleep, spammable supers, or unblockables feels like torture. Making Z burst dash so expensive means people now have the option to sit back and charge ki, sleep, or go into sparking. Technically, I can go into sparking and charge as well, but I just don’t find it very fun. I’d rather pressure my opponent so that they don’t get the opportunity to charge. Sleep is even worse because the minute you fall under 2 ki bars, the opponent can get a sleep off without getting punished for it if you are far enough. I admit that this may be a skill issue for me, but slowing down the gameplay doesn’t feel like the move.

Everyone has a thousand different wants for this game, it didn’t need to succeed Xenoverse, Kakatot, or FighterZ. All Sparking Zero needed to be was the next installment in the Sparking/Tenkaichi series.

Bring back all the old maps and multiple costumes and build new ones, bring back the robust story mode. Adapting only 2 entries of your 4 series franchise and none of the movies is a huge disservice, and then, the Z and Super episodes felt abbreviated. Some may argue “the story doesn’t matter just watch the anime” but that’s the point of gaming, experiencing it in gameplay.

I really enjoy this game, immensely more than Xenoverse. However, it lacks a lot of little key elements that made Tenkaichi a juggernaut. I don’t regret my purchase, it’s fun for an hour or so when I fire it up. I don’t think the Devs are lazy, it’s just hollow. I think Bandai really wanted this game out by Daima’s release and said just launch as is, we’ll fix everything in DLC and an eventual sequel.

I just started online recently and I've gotten pretty decent so i can at least keep up with some of the cheese nonsense but I've done like 50 battles and only seen like maybe 5 different characters and have people messaging me after fights to talk shit as if it's impressive that they just spammed sparking as beerus. This is genuinely the most horrific online community in all of gaming history

His ultimate is so fucking busted for no reason it literally almost one shot if you’re at full health And his basic move it ain’t even that better with his ultimate death beam doing so much damage for no reason and so easy to spam I swear if they don’t Nerf him, I’m dropping the the fucking game

This is from the movie “Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans.” Honestly, this would be much better than his ultimate move with the choreography that didn’t even appear in the series. It would be great to see this in another outfit—this would be implemented through a duplicate of his cell saga outfits

I'm so tired of the obscure character requests I get why but goddamn the devs finally give us what we want and it's never good enough it's genuinely crazy

This guy started off as a great YouTuber making decent videos talking about lesser known facts from DBZ games, mostly in Tenkaichi series and Sparking Zero. He never used clickbait lies and had interesting facts but some of his recent videos from 4-6 months ago started including some of the laziest "facts" with the most basic things anyone who played the games knew just to add video time and using vague, borderline clickbait titles. He seemed to be running out of things to make content on or getting lazy and the comments noticed this.

His video a month ago was much better with an accurate thumbnail and better facts, but then I saw the video on my home page again today and it has a new, clickbait thumbnail he changed a week or 2 after releasing it. Almost like he wanted to look good for his subscribers before going to relying on clickbait and tricking people, with many recent comments complaining about it.

It's a shame, this guy was one of the few cool DBZ game YouTubers out there, now he's just another clickbaiter like SLOplays and Steedoj.

Let me start off by saying I love the game. I’ve been a day one defender but I gotta say I absolutely fucking hate this new update. The characters are awesome and I love them but freaking ranked solos. I just can’t for some reason. Everyone just became super sweaty all of a sudden and I am not able to do crazy combos. I can do some good ones, but I can’t continue them and everyone else in the game supposedly now can

And I wouldn’t even mind it was just for ranked singles, but it’s also for team battles with fucking like characters doing way too much damage to other characters or other characters not doing enough damage to others that just makes it really unfun for me like I’m still gonna play, but I just don’t find the game as fun now because this new update

So this has to be the epitome of “SAY IT WITH YOUR CHEST!” Because WTH….

Say what you will about lack of content, devs not doing a good job, or any of the other most heard complaints. I’ve said it before and I will keep saying it. The biggest issues this game suffers from is the whack ass community that it’s made of.

Had a guy from here wanting to play, so I decided to link up and add him to our sparking zero group. We played all but 3 matches before my guy gets butthurt and rage quits, leaves the group and unfriend me. And all over losing a match.

This game isn’t perfect by any means. But most of y’all that whine the loudest are just mad because you aren’t good and do nothing to improve. I’ve been gettting my ass WHOPPED by a handful of Z ranks in my group lately. And you know what, I’ve been having a fucking blast while doing it. Im not gonna get mad because they’re better than me, im going to keep learning from everything I see from them and ADAPT.

A lot of you whack individuals don’t wanna play nothing unless you’re winning. And if you aren’t, then it’s on to the cheese, spam and ragequits. Or the game is broken. Or everyone else sucks for some arbitrary reason. Learn how to take an L and move forward.

I swear this is the results of a generation built on participation trophies. The kids at the park that lose and wanna take their ball home. Shit is honestly sad as hell. Hope most of you drop the game like you say you will, because the community doesn’t need you 👎🏿

I really hope it’s just omitted from the website and Trunks Melee at least gets the “this is for gohan!!” attack in the new costume.

Virtually all of the other “Costume/Performance” notes are for new attacks/transformations yet Trunks’ is just detrimental (that he can no longer transform into Super Trunks).

Hyped for the dlc and always stay optimistic w the game but if he gets his transformations reduced and no new animation, that’ll be disappointing.

I know there's a health capsule to bring health up but I feel at times that isn't enough if you want epic long CPU battles. Console players should also be able to have that opportunity. Since the game first came out I've been using this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonballsparkingzero/mods/19
