@@ZachStarAttack Yes, but figtherz is a versus figthing game who is a 2.5D game and who use less than 45~ characters with much detail compared to sparking zero who is a 3D arena figther and have 182 characters counting variants and transformations
FighterZ models and animations are still absolutely top tier. ArcSys really made a dream come true by making a traditional DB fighting game with these stunning animations AND spiritually reviving Marvel at the same time. Lightning in a bottle.

Each one has there own merits, which i think was the point. I like fighterZ commitment to the 2d style and the mouth shapes just look better, but Sparkling definitely have some awesome fx and fun camera work
Sparking Zero is such an incredible game. DBFZ is cool but the 2.5D fighting is so constricting in comparison. The visuals are amazing obviously, but it's a no-brainer given that Arcsys' focus was to imitate the anime frame-by-frame with a fixed camera in comparison to SZ with full 3D range and angles. Plus, I find it crazy ironic that now everyone's raving about DBFZ's visuals when one of the main things that make them that amazing is the low framerate... vs DBSZ having full 60fps+ (like gamers love) but utterly destroying the anime vibe of lower framerates in the process.

SPZ for me feels like im playing an Episode of the anime the game also has great attention to detail in different ways. Both great games in their own rights. Ive played both and think they both do a great justice to the franchise ❤ I lean more towards SPZ but FZ to me is still top when it comes to cinematics.

Sparking zero is the best dragon ball game ever made, but holy shit fighterz blows it out of the water in terms of looks, Sparking zero looks like a knock off sometimes lol.
I’ve played both pretty heavily and obviously fighterz generally looks better. You could make a whole db anime in the style of fighterz and it would look pretty damn good. ArcSys just crushes it when it comes to making anime games and the anime aesthetic when animating 3d models. That being said, there are some things that sparking zero does that just look really freaking cool, the lighting effects around ki attacks in particular. I never get sick of how ults look because they just look/feel epic.
Fighterz looks good and accurate to anime because it’s animated from only the camera side and uses camera tricks and cuts to appeal the players. Sparking zero is pure 3d and doesn’t use any camera tricks, everything happens in real time which is more difficult to pull off.
I'm gonna give it to fighterz, although I will admit that the workflow was likely very different considering the amount of actually unique characters (I'm not counting different forms as unique characters gtfoh lmfao), so arcsys likely had the ability to really focus on having more expressive and dynamic animation overall. I also think that, b/c fighterz was a "2d" game with far more predictable gameplay environments, they could get away with more hacky tricks that looked cooler (HA!) because of the framing. those are just things inherent to 3d animation, so I'll give sparking space for having to work within those constraints. that being said, I'm CERTAIN that sparking had a MUCH LARGER BUDGET than fighterz, so I feel like expecting more isn't out of the question, all things considered. also, this *might* be a hot take, but if they went for a lower level of fidelity, and instead focused on better... that's not fair, lol. let's say a more stylistic art direction, instead of what they did for sparking, it might've been easier for them to implement a proper split screen and not that jank ass nonsense that's in the final game. I'm old enough to have played the tenkai series when it first came out, so it's cool to see a new entry, but I can't help but feel like a lot of corners were cut because they knew how hungry people were for this. like, the netcode not being rollback, no crossplay at launch, the lack of a proper split screen implementation, and some other stuff. the lack of splitscreen really hurts b/c my little brother and I grew up playing these games together, even though he's much younger than me, so to not have that really feels like butts. there's aspects of sparking that just *feel* barebones, which is unfortunate, but whenever someone brings these things up, they get shouted down, so it's whatever. cool vid though! it really makes you appreciate the work that went into fighterz.
The reason why Bamco didn't do the same thing is because not only is it significantly harder, they also simply don't have the staff who are used to doing that. Another reason is they have a significantly larger cast of characters too meaning they'd have to spend more time as well. There was nothing stopping Bamco from doing the same thing, especially for the cutscenes which could have been animated similarly. Even the Ultimates, which are just cutscenes, could have been animated like that in Sparking Zero. Also the reason for no splitscreen is just because it's been on the decline for over a decade at this point and fewer people care about the feature. It's no surprise they didn't consider it. Also a lower level of fidelity wouldn't have helped for splitscreen as that's not how you consider it. As with the other Sparking/Budokai Tenkaichi game, the splitscreen mode often runs at a lower quality as you have to optimize differently for a splitscreen mode. That was the issue is that it was slapped together last minute and they never had time to optimize the game to stick to 60fps while being able to render the game at two entirely different camera views. Older games accounted for that and thus took away stuff as they intended. FighterZ does have the advantage of everyone seeing the same thing from the same camera so there is no extra workload when it comes to doing local multiplayer unlike Sparking Zero
Different forms are unique characters tho. There is an argument to made for ssj goku and ssjb goku but baseku and ui are completely unique and play very differently from there other counterparts.
@@crestofhonor2349 all I'm saying is what's the point of all this power in these consoles if it can't handle a lil splitscreen is all, lol. splitscreen is on the decline b/c it's a self fulfilling prophecy or whatever. you don't put it in, ppl won't use it. then it looks like nobody wants it, so they don't put it in, lol. also, to be blunt, they have a financial incentive to not have couch co-op, whether anyone wants to admit this or not.
@@Codyslx baseku and ui are the exception and not the rule. I'd also say the same thing if any game would ever bother to put the actual teen goku in the game, that uses the powerpole, because that's a whole unique style, but they never do.
@salinalee2613 No, they are the rule. The super saiyan and ssgss version's of goku and vegeta's are the ones who are the exception. Gt goku and early z vegeta play complete differently from their other variants. The two gogeta's are not even remotely comparable. Z broly and super broly also play completely differently. Playing either does not mean your gonna pick up the other and master in the span of an hour. I don't think i need to cover baby vegeta and goku black, if you played they game you'll know they are nothing like the other goku and vegeta variants. The only characters that are very simular in terms of play style are the super saiyan and super saiyan god super saiyan versions of goku and vegeta, respectively.
Fighterz doesn't even fight like Dragon Ball 😂 you can't even fight in the sky for more than 5 seconds, no beam clashes, terrible roster, terrible everything, this is Guilty Gear with Dragon Ball skins
@@MajinUltraEgo because a guilty gear type game would play really dumb if you both could always fly? think about it (fused zamasu still has that ability so you're wrong) and beam clashes cant be made possible cause you'd need to time it impossibly well since the beams got like no windup and they last one second -- again, because that wouldnt work in a guilty gear type of game
When it comes to the animations, Fighterz is just next level amazing. Can't give hate to Sparking zero though, cause the game is awsome, amd the animations is still great.
Fighter Z wins on most things where they share mutual content, but it's worth remembering that SZ has WAY more characters, their animation team was spread a lot thinner and ultimately did just as much if not more work.
Ok fighterz animations are clearly better on a detail level. Sparking zero is a bit more compelling though, cuz there’s so many more characters and most look pretty good. (When is fighterz getting another dlc 😭🙏)
I like the limited framerate animation of fighterz way more, i feel like SZ is missing a lot of exaggeration from fighterz, it feels like one of those VR chat DBZ skits for some moves
I think DBFZ has more anime accurate models, however, I’m willing to bet most of that comes from camera manipulation and distorting of said models to achieve the very anime look. Sparking! Zero absolutely blows FighterZ out of the water when it comes to the lighting and effects which makes it more visually stunning. Both look great but if I had to pick which was better I’d go with Sparking Zero. Sure it’s not as close to the source material as FighterZ with its characters but it’s close enough while adding a lot of additional flare to make up for it. It also manages to do this while being a proper 3D arena fighting game unlike FighterZ which is 2.5D
I’ve noticed that a lot of transformations in sparking are cut. Like one frame their base and then when they transform it just cuts into their transformation without actually showing the transformation. Looks off putting
fighter Z is made in a style that makes it much easier to look more like the source material and look good, sparking zero is a completely different game where the animation of fighter Z wouldn’t really work out. it’s kind of unfair to compare the two. (it’s mostly full on cell shaded cutscenes vs normal animations)
Fighterz doesn't even fight like Dragon Ball 😂 you can't even fight in the sky for more than 5 seconds, no beam clashes, terrible roster, terrible everything, this is Guilty Gear with Dragon Ball skins
Fighter Z looks more like the art style of the anime. Sparking zero is close but FighterZ is closer. That's interesting considering FighterZ is made in the Unreal 4 engine and Sparking zero is made in Unreal 5
Sparking Zero wins just because of one thing... I can actually transform and use fusion in game. Unlike in FighterZ where these are all glazed over Cutscenes.
@@mechadeka Which automatically makes Sparking Zero the better Dragonball Game. But that takes nothing away from Fighterz. As that means FighterZ is the better Fighting Game, Obviously
@@ShiniRyugathat make no sense. You're telling me a FIGHTING game that has better combat system isn't a better DragonBall game.. when the anime itself is all about fighting?
I think the teen gohan super saiyan 2 transformation is really good in sparking zero. I do wish it had the tears like in fighterZ. But for fighterZ its supposed to be recreating that iconic moment so its supposed to be Gohan's first time turning ssj2. In sparking zero him transforming isn't the first time.
Janemba FZ Goku Blue FZ Cooler Tie Vegeta Blue FZ Trunks SZ UI Goku SZ Gogeta Blue SZ Vegeta Blue Tie Gotanks Tie Zamasu Fused SZ Gogeta SS4 FZ Kefla FZ Gogeta vs Broly the fight SZ Broly mouth beam FZ Gogeta vs Broly ki blast to beam or whatever SZ Stardust Break SZ they cooking with that one Jiren’s defeat SZ Edited* Kid Buu Tie Kefla vs Goku FZ Father Son Kamehameha SZ Sword of Hope Tie Also edited* 6 FighterZ 9 for Sparking Zero I decided to go back and watch the whole thing at 1/4 the speed. It’s still really close and it’s not like Sparking blows Fighters out the water. They are both have their own shine to them.
goku blue fighter z ? no man no.. i can't never be agree with that , bro look at goku is not even good and the animation is not near of sz , i don't know why fz is so overrated like this
@@TresorMbimbeFighterZ looks like a 1st time transformation. Sparking looks like he’s use to it by now. FighterZ looks more like the source material not to mention the white and blue aura is a good touch. I believe most 1st time transformations have bigger auras and that’s all the more reason I believe FighersZ got it right. Obviously you’re entitled to your opinion. I’m just sayin
Theyre both very good, but Fighterz obviously has a level of hand crafted love that Sparking Zero struggles to reach with the dev team's inexperience and limited capacity. What is ultimately impressive is BT4 is almost as good despite having so many characters. Though Fighterz did have a much larger roster over time!
They re-used the gogeta fusion animation for characters it doesn't make sense with. Most seen with Gotenks and ss4 Gogeta in this direct comparison. Disappointing to see from sparking zero.
I think some of the visual choices in FighterZ strike in a way that Sparking Zero doesn't. On the other hand I also kind of dislike the way Sparking Zero characters in cutscenes are so wobbly. I would assume it's because of mocap or something. But I think that kind of movement looks bizarre on character designs and models that are so stylized in this way.
while sparking zero is VERY flashy and sometimes quite pretty to look at it is also incredibly inconsistent imo some of the cutscenes i've seen made the game look janky and weird (weird jiggly movements and awkwards animations) I think fighterz stylised look is better in a "style over detail" kind of way if graphics were to improve sparking zero would lag behind while fighterz would still stay relevant thanks to its consistent and pleasant style
Some of y'all got to remember, fighterz is a 2.5D game and sparking zero is a fully 3D game, so obviously they can't recreate them nearly 1:1 as fighterz can.
@@aydengardner48 because i help Made a game before Both using cutscene but fighterZ use different model just for the cinematic cutscene , they usually stretch certain part of the model to look good with camera tricks. That's why when u see it on a different angle it looks hella weird While sparking zero use its combat model in cutscene thus limiting the developer to made a good cutscene. But that doesn't mean It's impossible In short They still could do it like fightrZ but to look good and improve cutscene quality = cost more money and time But their budget gone into focusing the "combat" instead of "cutscene". 182 characters with different skills and moveset ain't cheap
Everything shown in fighterz is either a dramatic finish or an intro, sparking zero takes it not cause of the looks but that everything is actually in game
in all honesty in terms of pure animation fighterZ is a little better. But you have to take into consideration that this video is comparing story modes to dramatic finishes which should be a little more polished (there is like 10 in the game IIRC maybe a little more). DBFZ is goated tho that's for sure
imo fighterz has much better animation, models, and camera angles, but the lighting, impact frames and effect work in sparking is top tier. if they just brought the fantastic lighting and effects from sparking to fighterz, i think we'd have the best db game of all time
Dbfz for me takes it all but not by far. But the combo system in dbfz is so much better. Like every character has different combo. In SZ its like combo then dash. It feels the same on every character.
Fighter Z fans gotta be some of the saltiest DB game fans I've ever seen. One even made a whole rant video on why they hate Sparking Zero 😂 which they took down. Fighter Z is a great game, and the cutscenes are pretty incredible. But when it comes to combat and truly capturing the DB fighting experience, 3D arena games will always do it best. Sending an opponent 3 meters away after a full power Big Bang Kamehameha just ain't DB, I'm sorry. It's a great fighting game, but Sparking Zero has that DB spark to it imo.
look I'm going to summarize it for you FighterZ looks better on some and SparkingZero looks better on others but FighterZ is like someone's profile picture that shows their profile and their pretty side while SparkingZero sees that person face to face because it is done in all angles and is very beautiful considering that difficulty
DBFZ is an actual competitive fighting game with way better animation. Sparking Zero is a casual fighting game, way easier to pick up and “master”. The animation isn’t as good but still very good.
@@SrTekilla “real fighting games” lamo yall nerds rather play this mk/tekken game but db besides that is dead asf already and xv2 is lowkey just better simply cause of the dlc if you think fighterz is better than sparking zero in everything you clearly never play a single BT game in yo life 😂😂😭
@@SrTekilla I'm sorry, but Sparking Zero is by far more fun, I played FighterZ and it's very pretty, but it quickly gets quite boring with the game having 14 characters and Goku Base as DLC
Well, Both Games are Good in Their own respective ways but Some Animations for Both Games are missing such as when SS2 Gohan (Youth) does The Father-Son Kamehameha and Cell was doing Solar Kamehameha then before Cell was able to finish Gohan off Vegeta there a Ki Blast at Cell in order to distract him (Cell) then Gohan took Cell out
I adore how fightersz looks like totally, and even tho sparking is not at the same level I preffer sparking gameplay, abilities are also better on sparking in my opinion, since fighters stays accurate to the source material, and sparking makes it a bit faster for Gameplay reasons but I can't really compare them really, love both, except fighters gameplay, I don't like fighting gameplay

Gt goku and early z vegeta play complete differently from their other variants. The two gogeta's are not even remotely comparable. Z broly and super broly also play completely differently. Playing either does not mean your gonna pick up the other and master in the span of an hour. I don't think i need to cover baby vegeta and goku black, if you played they game you'll know they are nothing like the other goku and vegeta variants. The only characters that are very simular in terms of play style are the super saiyan and super saiyan god super saiyan versions of goku and vegeta, respectively.
Dragon fighterz is little better than dragon ball sparking zero, but so nostalgia man, they are little better.
Always gonna prefer FighterZ. The game's anime art style adds a lot of impact to these sequence and it's amazing.
Fighterz doesn't even fight like Dragon Ball 😂 you can't even fight in the sky for more than 5 seconds, no beam clashes, terrible roster, terrible everything, this is Guilty Gear with Dragon Ball skins
@@MajinUltraEgo because a guilty gear type game would play really dumb if you both could always fly? think about it (fused zamasu still has that ability so you're wrong) and beam clashes cant be made possible cause you'd need to time it impossibly well since the beams got like no windup and they last one second -- again, because that wouldnt work in a guilty gear type of game
I don't like FighterZ gameplay but people saying Sparking Zero graphics are gorgeous are lying. It could be way better and the mods will prove it
The better it looks the less people can play it, there are more Super Saiyans than high end PCs when you consider ALL Dragon Ball fans
i love how they pushed the expression a little further for gogeta blue in that explosion attack in SZ
DB fans eating good fr fr
Both games are phenomenal.
DBFZ looks better EVERY TIME.
DBSZ looks better than a tekken ripoff
@@booxcr by your logic, every fighting games are tekken ripoffs
@@booxcryep fighter z plays like a tekken ripoff
Sparkling zero looks more smoother
Damn the Stardust breaker is so strong it switch the clips
When it comes to the animations, Fighterz is just next level amazing. Can't give hate to Sparking zero though, cause the game is awsome, amd the animations is still great.
Fighter Z wins on most things where they share mutual content, but it's worth remembering that SZ has WAY more characters, their animation team was spread a lot thinner and ultimately did just as much if not more work.
Tambien en el fighter z, se pueden cambiar kos finales? Osea el famoso what if?
Ok fighterz animations are clearly better on a detail level. Sparking zero is a bit more compelling though, cuz there’s so many more characters and most look pretty good.
(When is fighterz getting another dlc 😭🙏)
More characters = Better ?
OK sure, the unbalanced nature of the game is part of its appeal
I like the limited framerate animation of fighterz way more, i feel like SZ is missing a lot of exaggeration from fighterz, it feels like one of those VR chat DBZ skits for some moves
I think DBFZ has more anime accurate models, however, I’m willing to bet most of that comes from camera manipulation and distorting of said models to achieve the very anime look. Sparking! Zero absolutely blows FighterZ out of the water when it comes to the lighting and effects which makes it more visually stunning. Both look great but if I had to pick which was better I’d go with Sparking Zero. Sure it’s not as close to the source material as FighterZ with its characters but it’s close enough while adding a lot of additional flare to make up for it. It also manages to do this while being a proper 3D arena fighting game unlike FighterZ which is 2.5D
Two of the best Dragon Ball games in recent years
I’ve noticed that a lot of transformations in sparking are cut. Like one frame their base and then when they transform it just cuts into their transformation without actually showing the transformation. Looks off putting
Who tf cares about a singular frame 💀
ゴジータのジャネンバフィニッシュの部分、最後映像が入れ違ってしまってますね。
fighter Z is made in a style that makes it much easier to look more like the source material and look good, sparking zero is a completely different game where the animation of fighter Z wouldn’t really work out. it’s kind of unfair to compare the two. (it’s mostly full on cell shaded cutscenes vs normal animations)
Budokai Tenkaichi fanboys can’t accept FighterZ is better as a whole, sparking zero is also very incomplete
Fighterz doesn't even fight like Dragon Ball 😂 you can't even fight in the sky for more than 5 seconds, no beam clashes, terrible roster, terrible everything, this is Guilty Gear with Dragon Ball skins
Fighter Z looks more like the art style of the anime. Sparking zero is close but FighterZ is closer. That's interesting considering FighterZ is made in the Unreal 4 engine and Sparking zero is made in Unreal 5
Both are excellent But SZ got it though.
Anime games should look 100% accurate to the anime

I'll take sparking zero since you can transform during battle
*Incorrect buzzer sound effect*
@@Tfoxx_Revengecorrect sound effect keep puffing that copium
@@booxcr Semi-correct, since you can transform in the game.
**Only as Frieza tho.**
@@TruxySSJ also goku if you count his level 3
Is it wrong to think that Dragon ball fighterZ is better because it has more impact for the frames?
Sparking Zero wins just because of one thing... I can actually transform and use fusion in game. Unlike in FighterZ where these are all glazed over Cutscenes.
NO!!!!
Almost like FighterZ is a fighting game and Sparking Zero is an anime simulator.
@@mechadeka Which automatically makes Sparking Zero the better Dragonball Game.
But that takes nothing away from Fighterz. As that means FighterZ is the better Fighting Game, Obviously
@@ShiniRyugathis right here. Finally someone else gets this
@@ShiniRyugathat make no sense. You're telling me a FIGHTING game that has better combat system isn't a better DragonBall game.. when the anime itself is all about fighting?
I think the teen gohan super saiyan 2 transformation is really good in sparking zero. I do wish it had the tears like in fighterZ. But for fighterZ its supposed to be recreating that iconic moment so its supposed to be Gohan's first time turning ssj2. In sparking zero him transforming isn't the first time.

6 FighterZ
9 for Sparking Zero
I decided to go back and watch the whole thing at 1/4 the speed. It’s still really close and it’s not like Sparking blows Fighters out the water. They are both have their own shine to them.
goku blue fighter z ? no man no.. i can't never be agree with that , bro look at goku is not even good and the animation is not near of sz , i don't know why fz is so overrated like this
@@TresorMbimbeFighterZ looks like a 1st time transformation. Sparking looks like he’s use to it by now. FighterZ looks more like the source material not to mention the white and blue aura is a good touch. I believe most 1st time transformations have bigger auras and that’s all the more reason I believe FighersZ got it right. Obviously you’re entitled to your opinion. I’m just sayin
Theyre both very good, but Fighterz obviously has a level of hand crafted love that Sparking Zero struggles to reach with the dev team's inexperience and limited capacity.
What is ultimately impressive is BT4 is almost as good despite having so many characters. Though Fighterz did have a much larger roster over time!
They re-used the gogeta fusion animation for characters it doesn't make sense with. Most seen with Gotenks and ss4 Gogeta in this direct comparison. Disappointing to see from sparking zero.
Is it really fair 3d in game stuff versus cutscenes
Music?
¡Los dos juegos mejores valorados hasta la fecha juntos!
Dragón ball es ESENCIA 😎
2D cartoon vs Actual Game.
I think some of the visual choices in FighterZ strike in a way that Sparking Zero doesn't. On the other hand I also kind of dislike the way Sparking Zero characters in cutscenes are so wobbly. I would assume it's because of mocap or something. But I think that kind of movement looks bizarre on character designs and models that are so stylized in this way.
Gogeta vs Janemba one is flipped, you put the fighterz's on the sparking zero part
while sparking zero is VERY flashy and sometimes quite pretty to look at it is also incredibly inconsistent imo
some of the cutscenes i've seen made the game look janky and weird (weird jiggly movements and awkwards animations)
I think fighterz stylised look is better in a "style over detail" kind of way if graphics were to improve sparking zero would lag behind while fighterz would still stay relevant thanks to its consistent and pleasant style
they fucked it up with the camera, what the hell did they smoke in sparkin zero
It's not fair to compare any studio to arcsys when it comes to 3D animation in fighting games, they are on a league of their own.
Some of y'all got to remember, fighterz is a 2.5D game and sparking zero is a fully 3D game, so obviously they can't recreate them nearly 1:1 as fighterz can.
they could , probably cost more time and money since there are so many character in sparking zero hence they choose not to
@@ills.6how would you know you’re not a developerb
@@aydengardner48 because i help Made a game before
Both using cutscene
but fighterZ use different model just for the cinematic cutscene , they usually stretch certain part of the model to look good with camera tricks. That's why when u see it on a different angle it looks hella weird
While sparking zero use its combat model in cutscene thus limiting the developer to made a good cutscene. But that doesn't mean It's impossible
In short
They still could do it like fightrZ but to look good and improve cutscene quality = cost more money and time
But their budget gone into focusing the "combat" instead of "cutscene". 182 characters with different skills and moveset ain't cheap
@@ills.6 you’re such a capper lol
Most of these are in game sparking zero compared
To direct animation from dragon ball fighterz
The art direction and animation is just so much better in Fighterz dawg…
Both games should do a fusion, Zero has better gameplay, FighterZ has better realism and cutscenes.
Everything shown in fighterz is either a dramatic finish or an intro, sparking zero takes it not cause of the looks but that everything is actually in game
Level 3 supers too.. and that's still a part of the gameplay..
in all honesty in terms of pure animation fighterZ is a little better. But you have to take into consideration that this video is comparing story modes to dramatic finishes which should be a little more polished (there is like 10 in the game IIRC maybe a little more).
DBFZ is goated tho that's for sure
Some of the Fighterz transformations and fusions are insanely good and detailed actually
We can't fuse on fighterpoop 😂😂😂 sorry
0:47 fz trunks’s model looks better than sz
kale head in sparking zero is so fcking big
imo fighterz has much better animation, models, and camera angles, but the lighting, impact frames and effect work in sparking is top tier. if they just brought the fantastic lighting and effects from sparking to fighterz, i think we'd have the best db game of all time
Dbfz for me takes it all but not by far. But the combo system in dbfz is so much better. Like every character has different combo. In SZ its like combo then dash. It feels the same on every character.
Comparen a Slug quiero saber como se ve en fighter z
With a few exceptions FighterZ looks better overall. Its animations are way more expressive
i think fz having less frames also makes it look a bit better in some odd way. but i give it to sz all the way.
Fighter Z fans gotta be some of the saltiest DB game fans I've ever seen. One even made a whole rant video on why they hate Sparking Zero 😂 which they took down.
Fighter Z is a great game, and the cutscenes are pretty incredible. But when it comes to combat and truly capturing the DB fighting experience, 3D arena games will always do it best.
Sending an opponent 3 meters away after a full power Big Bang Kamehameha just ain't DB, I'm sorry. It's a great fighting game, but Sparking Zero has that DB spark to it imo.
look I'm going to summarize it for you FighterZ looks better on some and SparkingZero looks better on others but FighterZ is like someone's profile picture that shows their profile and their pretty side while SparkingZero sees that person face to face because it is done in all angles and is very beautiful considering that difficulty
3:20 why u switch the sides lol. 3:12. SO FIRE
3:00 they're reversed here.
DBFZ is an actual competitive fighting game with way better animation.
Sparking Zero is a casual fighting game, way easier to pick up and “master”. The animation isn’t as good but still very good.
DBFZ is still picture animations while DBSZ is peak
@@booxcrglazing
I don’t mind 🇯🇵 animation studio to use 3d
If they can reach the level of DBFZ cutscenes

@@SrTekilla I'm sorry, but Sparking Zero is by far more fun, I played FighterZ and it's very pretty, but it quickly gets quite boring with the game having 14 characters and Goku Base as DLC
Sinceramente en Sparking Zero en lo que más fallaron fue en las animaciones Bucales son hasta curseadas algunas veces
Well,
Both Games are Good in Their own respective ways
but
Some Animations for Both Games are missing such as when SS2 Gohan (Youth) does The Father-Son Kamehameha
and
Cell was doing Solar Kamehameha then before Cell was able to finish Gohan off Vegeta there a Ki Blast at Cell in order to distract him (Cell) then Gohan took Cell out
I adore how fightersz looks like totally, and even tho sparking is not at the same level I preffer sparking gameplay, abilities are also better on sparking in my opinion, since fighters stays accurate to the source material, and sparking makes it a bit faster for Gameplay reasons but I can't really compare them really, love both, except fighters gameplay, I don't like fighting gameplay
Fighterz: 😡
Sparking zero: AAAAAAAAAAAH MI PICHULAAAA
bro puso el dramatic finish de dragon ball figters en sparking sero xd
Both, both? yeah both is good
