@@nathonz NAH WAIT, I didn’t talk about it because I haven’t played split screen with anyone since I mainly fight my friends online. Don’t tell me they fucked up the offline two player dawg
Offline two player isn't bad honestly. If you're playing offline against someone you'd hope that they're respectable enough to fight, or else you wouldn't play them
@jonathanhargraves2241 what? The problem isn't who I'm fighting it's how many maps we have to fight on. How many modes we have to choose from. I will always boot up the old games when my friends come over because they have 2 player Tournaments, team ladder/arcade modes, raging blast has customizable super attacks. This game has none of those. And nothing that replaces it
@@KillaBoy_88 my friend. I hate to tell you I'm sure you've looked it up by now lol. But there's only 1 map for split screen. And the 2 modes DP or Team matches. No tournaments with two players. And again only 1 map is just pathetic in my opinion. Even XenoVerse has like 6 or more
@@nathonz ohhh NOOOO. I thought that shit was a GIVEN. Damn, the more time goes on, the more ya realize this game was rushed quite a bit when it comes to the overall content in the game.
Raging Blast 2 had a mechanic where pressing Block and Heavy Attack together allowed you to block an attack and trigger a vanish attack with cool camera movement. It lasts for a fair moment and can be severely punished if whiffed and isn't spam-able. Sparking Zero could use something like that. This game does feel a bit lacking.
@@coraliousprime That’s a good idea actually. I know people didn’t really like the Raging Blast Games that much, but they DID have some cool things and cool ideas like the one you mentioned
The problem isn't that "there's online" the problem is that there is a ranked mode, implying that the game is competitive. Which it most certainly isn't, it's a silly arena game
@@cryguy0000 👍 THANK YOU. If there was no ranked mode then there would be no reason to really complain and THEN I would agree with ppl saying this game is supposed to be unbalanced or whatever. But they literally made DP Battles just so people wouldn’t play entire teams of the OP characters. If this game is supposed to be unbalanced, ppl should be able to play whoever they want online. Yajirobe meta really only happened because they incentivize people to play low cost characters with DP mode.
2:31 THANK YOU, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SAY THIS. The community and playerbase is ruining the game man, any type of criticism you give to this game people would either say "skill issue" or call you "ungrateful". This game has a huge rage quitting problem too.
@@MSCModernSonicChannel Yeah man. Honestly, I think the community and the “Toxic Support” for this game upsets me more than the actual game itself. Anime fans are like this in general, but because this is Dragon Ball and we’ve been getting nothing but garbage Anime Games the past few years, because the Tenkaichi games are often regarded as the best DBZ games ever, ppl don’t wanna accept that this game DOES IN FACT have problems. I think even if we’re just talking about offline stuff, they cut corners in a lot of different areas man. Thanks for the comment
The game’s a 7/10 for me. It’s solid, but there are still some things missing (game modes, stages, some characters), and there is also plenty of room for improvement (custom battle editor, world tournament, story mode). Btw. Personally, I don't really care for ranked.
@@xamond2283 Yeah and honestly I wish I could go back to before I played ranked, cuz that was when I wasn’t really aware of how easily exploitable a lot of the moves are. Outside of ranked, I agree the game is pretty fun 100%. At that point I’m just like you and just wish we got more stages, modes, and even the Movie storylines like Budokai Tenkaichi 3 had. I liked having the Cooler, Meta Cooler, Broly, Bojack, and all the other movies as Stories and same for GT. It’s nice having them as characters don’t get me wrong, but I got a little sad that there weren’t storylines for any of them.
@@KillaBoy_88 Yeah, movie story lines would've been awesome. I don't know why they even bothered adding ranked. The game is obviously an unbalanced cheese fest and feels more casual than competitive. Ranked actually did more harm than good to the game.
Ngl, the amount of spam that ranked players rely on is soo obnoxious to deal with. There's people who constantly spam perception, ki blasts, neutral vanish attacks, etc, and then that kind of spam will encourage afterimage strike and unblockable spam, and the list goes on and on.
@@TheExiled112 I swear man, and that’s why I just don’t wanna play the game. As a content creator, I would have to go online and deal with all of that shit. And if I’m not playing an OP character myself, it’s going to be a million times more frustrating to fight against it. So idk man, like I said if they can just tweak a COUPLE more things then I’d be alright. But just tweaking Senzu Bean and dipping out is not it.
I got good at this game just to deal with after image strike characters spamming rush supers on top of the other cringe bs this game has to much the only people having fun are the ones doing it every game this my last dbz game and I’m deleting it I close app on people for a reason not because I’m ass and losing
@@TheExiled112 I used to hate them for it but the more I think about it the game literally incentives lame play. Ski play spam only a thing cause there’s 3 counters and it’s the only way to guarantee damage. Instant sparking spam only a problem cause there’s no down side to doing it. The more I look at how this game is built the more I understand why running away for entire match is the most optimal way to guarantee a win. This game is ass in a competitive since… it’s great offline tho.
@desmondwarren9358 i don't even see vegeta spam ki blasts like S rank players do. I started maining stronger characters and characters with insta spark to counterplay ki blasts since it's soo annoying. The ki blast spammers are the reason why people started maining only characters with insta sparks.
@@Tbone767 I know man I’ve seen it 😪, people will literally dash right up to you and do an ultimate, or even worse if they have Instant Transmission, they will teleport and you lose sight of them so you CANT BLOCK, and they’ll hit you with an Ultimate. It’s so wack bro
@@KillaBoy_88 And youtubers do this and claim they good. 6WRLD and Don still think they good when they do Mickey Mouse shi like this. These cheeseheads need to be sent BACK TO XENOVERSE 2!
I had a crashout moment about this game yesterday. So i understand how you feel. Ranked is absolutely pointless and spike chunsoft should’ve taken it more seriously. If they try to change shit now, it’s already too late. The first impressions have already been made.
Yeaaaah, not gonna lie. The game is definitely beautiful in graphics and motion controls (mostly)...but I found that in comparison to past tenkaichi games, there isn't much else to do besides story mode and online. At least before we had world map story modes, we had towers, we had challenge missions, and MULTIPLE outfits for each character (even the ones who didn't even have another outfit) Online and custom story modes/story modes are really all ya can do in the game.
@@Gemstin Yeah. It’s because in the older games, with no online, they had to actually have enough content to keep you playing the game. But now with Online being in games, companies think that it’s alright to put less effort into the offline content since “everyone” will be playing online, and it sucks. Like you said we have less outfits, less story mode content, less modes, less stages, and less characters. It’s honestly sad that Online Gaming has kinda done this to us.
My problem of the game is not the fighting system. It’s the lack of activities to do in the game. All I ever do, is I hop in on world tournaments on super difficulty and pvp. That’s pretty much it.
@@denzellwashington9019Read this document that call out the many flaws (mostly gameplay) of sparking zero and offers solutions. It also makes direct comparisons to BT3 and points out what that game does better in terms of system mechanics like the drawback of using instant sparking.
you dont know how long i been waiting for a video like this NOBODY and i mean NOBODY wanna call out the bs because its a tenkaichi game been waiting for them to patch the complete LACK in the responsiveness of the controls and when they patched the game 3 WEEKS AFTER RELEASE ITS STILL NOT FIXED AND THATS ONLY 1 OF THE MULTIPLE ISSUES PEOPLE GONNA IGNORE. WHAT FIGHTING GAME YOU KNOW GOT 4 COUNTERS??? AND THE HARDEST COUNTER TO LEARN IN THE GAME GETS COUNTERED BY THE EASIEST COUNTER IN THE GAME AND WHEN IM NOT WAITING 10 MIN FOR A GAME THAT CAME OUT A MONTH AGO AND SOLD 300MIL COPIES IM LAGGING OUT THE GAME OR GETTING STALLED TILL THE TIMER RUN OUT i had to let that mf out
As someone who loves raging blast 2, its definitely leagues below sparking zero. The game needs some changes here and there but you guys are complaining way too much
Instant spark is such a bad mechanic, it should cost like 8 skill points. You can get wombo comboed and then say "actually I have ultimate" and you lose because its so easy to confirm

The problem is there’s NO downsides to skill stocks rn. Older games had things like ki sickness (slow ki charge) and nerfed blast stocks after Instant Sparking. SZ has none of that this time round. it ALSO has extremely fast Blast Stock generation both for losing the game and vanish wars
16:26 what they really need to do is bring back the de-buff to let you charge slower after popping insta-spark. They had it in BT3 but it's absent in Sparking Zero for some reason, so niggas can just keep popping sparking for free if they have the skill count for it.
@@lilfrosty__ I find it funny that people say this game was never balanced and doesn’t need to be, yet the OLDER GAME handled a lot of these things better than the new entry. KI Fatigue would be a great addition to the game to help BALANCE that broken ass Insta-Spark. Thank you for the comment and actually contributing to the discussion on balance instead of deflecting like most have been doing 👍
@@KillaBoy_88 Ey man no problem. As much as I love this game I can't help but agree with some of the points that are being made. Not to mention the lack of content compared to the previous game. The story feels unfinished and lack presentation, Ultimate battle from BT2 and BT3 is absent, you can't pause matchmaking on ranked and etc. Niggas want this game at EVO and i'm like "Nah". EVO runs on a schedules, DP Battles (imo) Take fucking forever and usually go to time. With the amount of cheese in this game PLUS niggas doing whatever method it takes to win- shit would be more boring than the bayonetta mirror from Smash 4.
The tenkaichi series was the relic of an era long passed, but with the modernization of the combat, and trying to balance it with the normalization/emphasis of fucking 4 COUNTERS is sickening. people aren't as humble as they used to be about 10-15 years ago, and all they care about is an easy W, Bandai knows that! however, they handled it terribly, and ON TOP OF THAT, they released it unfinished. about a half a year ago, I would've never thought I'd be upset to hear "yo hop on sparking zero" like how I am currently. there's Dragon Ball games on ROBLOX with more optimization than this SEVENTY DOLLAR GAME. embarrassing.
Ngga crashed out 😭😂 but nah u ain’t even wrong coming from BT3 this game story is straight buns and the music…don’t even get me started 😭 the music in bt3 always had me hyped no matter what typa day I was havin
@@tekanmecha2698 BROOO i listened to the music for BT3 to get background music for this video and DAWG 😭😭 there ain’t ONE SONG in this game that had me grooving like ANY of the songs in the old game man. They don’t make em like they used to 😪
@@tariqomer4678 Uhm that’s a matter of opinion. You’re free to say that you DISAGREE with me, but don’t say that me liking the BT3 soundtrack more than Sparking Zero soundtrack is just nostalgia, because no it’s not. I think all the Sparking Zero soundtracks are boring compared to the old BT3 songs. Whether it’s the Menus or the actual battle songs, BT3 has more varied tracks than anything in Sparking Zero.
The game is not perfect but anyone who says it sucks is an absolute rage bait, it’s easily one of the best dragon ball games to exist, does it need improvements ? Of course, but does it suck ? Absolutely not, unfortunately you people can’t tell the difference between good but can be better and pathetic, which is just sad.
I’m a dragon ball fan since a kid It does suck this is not a fighting game. Characters have no identity. At all you essentially do the same thing with every character. Don’t say oh but some people have different abilities like Wild sense and stuff lol stfu. Listen this game will have no respectable fighting community ever it is what it is straight like that. Games like tekken are respected you know why? I could fight 10 people using the same character and have a completely different fight every single time. Games garbage just keep it a buck.
@@tontimmy45635 that’s not true I’m not the biggest fan of 8 because I don’t like that type of tekken but it is a fighting game regardless with a real competitive scene sparking is not that’s my point and it will never have one.
Comparing this to Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Raging Blast 2 This game is garbage asf. Game has no real combos. Sparking mode is literally meele spam plus Ultiamtes. The switching is rigged. You can’t even find your opponents. The neutral feels stiff. Transformation supers and dashes are crap. Online rank mode is just disgusting. Everyone is either spamming or closing apps. Too many counters. You can’t even combo anymore. Unblockables After images. Rather stick to BT3 and Raging Blast 2.
@@pro_zombie_xz7820 Yeah it’s just a terrible experience online man. Like you said the game has TOO MANY defensive options, your opponent can break out of your combo at ANY point so there’s no real reason to learn big combos, and yeah stuff like the unblockable supers are just too easy to abuse and have no downsides at all. I genuinely believe Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is a more well designed game than this game.
No real combos hits hard, literally last night i lost a super vegito player who knew nothing but square combos because of the afterimage strike, its like why learn combos and it shows that off
Honestly, they don't need to Buff or Nerf any of the characters but they need to tweak the mechanics because they most definitely fucked up with the mechanics which is why things are the way they are. Budokai Tenkaichi had unbalanced characters but balanced mechanics which was fun and had skill. Sparking Zero has Unbalanced characters and Unbalanced mechanics which is a bad thing.
Ive BEEN saying this MONTHS ago ... only true Dragon Ball gamers understand this. The game is ight but this wasn't gonna be the best game of the year. Nobody wanna here it. NOW people wanna move on the new games after all that glazing. There IS no genuine people no more and its almost like it frowned upon to be honest and speak the truth nowadays. This generation is cooked. 😂 people just love being delusional
The legendary crash out 😅 Nah but fr people need to chill out online with the mui goku super Saiyan full power broly ssj4 Gogeta ssj vegito and dr wheelo and the rage quits And we need more maps and bandai needs stop lying about stuff in the game when it's not in the game like story mode stuff
@@Randomergoesbrrrr Yeah most people who are complaining about the balance of the game would have instead been complaining about there not being ranked in the game probably. However, I wouldn’t have and I personally prefer THAT instead since at least the ppl saying this game was never balanced and shouldn’t be taken seriously would be fully justified in that opinion since there’s no mode to take seriously.
Kept it 9000 with this one 💯 and the Bleach game finna be trash too bro. Anime games MISS wayyyy more than they hit, if you been around for a minute you already know how that shi go.
Soon as I saw movie characters in a "shop" I said oh no. Story was ass. Where the stages? Cant even do movie broly with no ice cap stage. Where is basic characters that should be outside of DLC? Super 17 etc. Tenkaichi 3 was better the fighting. The knock around moves. Should have just remastered 3 and added to the roster.
@@MegaMan-bs3oy W TAKE I agree man. Not enough people are talking about the fact that this game is lacking in a lot of areas like stages and just the fact that there’s Characters and Content that was in Budokai Tenkaichi 3 but not in this one. And I feel like a lot of those things that you mentioned are missing, were sacrificed for stuff like the What If Scenarios in the Story Modes and the Fan Fiction Story Builder, and in my opinion I don’t think the trade was worth it.
I was seriously was about to start a yt career off this game. Vegeta got zero love in the story. Starts off in namek? No play as vegeta what if in saiyan saga? Budikai 1 on ps2 did that. NO super fights at all?! Nothing in Super?! Again lack of stages. Lack of common sense characters like Super 17, Dragon ball villians, GT dragons outside of Shrenon. No Broly Returns SS blonde form. SOUNDTRACK is ass and help you if you are dense enough to get the music packs on PS cause you constantly get your recording blocked due to copyright and the pop up Also no We were Angel's? You call that a music pack? The fighting mechanics are dumbed down from Tenkaichi 3. Less combos. No knock around moves. The beam knock away Is pointless it cost so much to do just vanish it. 180 something characters is false. Over 30 is goku and vegeta that's not a roster when it's just forms. Every super move doesn't need a 20 second cutscene. Everyone and their cusin ultimate is a kamehameha or final flash. It's a fun game but no tenkaitchi 3 All my friends all ready stopped after we plat it. ...
100% this the last time I'll let my nostalgia delude me. Got the early edition shit so I could play with my nephew and relive the young days; turns out this game is half baked in the oven. Characters doing insane damage, no Ki sickness, unplayable delays in input, horrid menu mechanics; just sad. A true joke of a game and online experience. Never touching this game again less my nephews wanna play around n role play characters or sum.
It seems like everybody that knows what they are talking about knows this game needs fixing im so glad you made a video talking about all ts i been complaining about good vid and u deserve a sub
@@punishedcreighton7338 Man…It’s so crazy how that game probably has more love than this one. Even if I disregard my balance complaints with this game, this game has less content and it’s unfinished in certain areas. Less stages, less outfits, less characters. It’s depressing 😞
Honestly I started playing BT3 over this. Fun fact but both that game and this one have the same amount of characters if you don't count the different versions and transformations of characters. They just made replacements that I don't like nearly as much as I do not care for Super.
This game looks like a fanmade garbage in the first place, like some kid downloaded Unreal Engine and decided to work on it.. everything looks so soft and childish, that's why it sucks in the first place. Never will there be a better candidate for the best DBZ game than a real Dragon Ball game like Tenkaichi 3, everything about it, the artstyle, the faithful animations and combos and obviously the faithful to the anime graphics.
@@thegamingjourney4451 I know…But I just think if that’s what they wanted, they shouldn’t have made a Ranked Mode. I don’t think you can design a game like this and also have Ranked Mode where people are gonna abuse the unbalanced game mechanics and broken ass moves and still expect it to be a good experience. If there was no ranked, then I could accept that.
@@nicholasgreen400 Yeah and you shouldn’t do it either. I had much more fun just playing offline, the combat is honestly very fun to learn and pick up. On top of that we got Beam Struggles, Unique Grab Animations, Clashes, and just all kinds of small details that really show off how cool this series is. It’s only not fun when you go online and see how people abuse the unbalanced nature of the game.
@killaboy_88 I don’t like playing areans online period maybe call of duty and Fortnite but anime arenas my whole family takes these anime arenas very seriously I would never determine who’s a better player if the match was not done locally I hate online when it comes to DBZ or Naruto online is assburger 🍔
@@nicholasgreen400 Nah you got the right mentality man 😂 I used to take them super seriously too but as I’ve gotten older I’m starting to realize that doing that will actually drive you insane. And boy, don’t get me STARTED on them Naruto Games man
another issue is that yaw (the fans ) told them over an over people where tired of playing through the story modes of anime games so they stopped putting so much effort into it.
There are way more problems with the game other than just its competitive side. It's rushed in many aspects and not worth its price. Overall, i can't call it a complete upgrade from BT3 since it's missing a lot and is not as polished. A lot of people don't talk about how the rush supers have been downgraded in terms or cheorgraphy, sound quality and overall impact. The best thing it has going for it is pretty graphics and high character count, which is just mostly due to goku and vegeta transformations.
dont worry man, the modding community will save the game. Usually when things like this happen, there will be a team of modders that will make custom balance patches and WHEN THAT DAY COMES I WILL BE BACKING THEM UP HARD BODY.
Somebody called me broke for buying to standard edition? Laughing at them now. Paid 110 dollars for a extra character with a powerpole. Early access and gogeta blue and broly which I unlocked within the first day of playing. These fools. This game needs balance, not really with the characters but in ranked it would be nice to have similar health bars, a longer time limit for dp battles. Less cheese. After image strike should either last 5 seconds or it should take 5 skill stocks. Same for instant sparking.
Folks was dead ahh doing that shi ☠️☠️ i seen it all over instagram now all the Sparking Zero glazers either on hush cuz they quit the game or they defending this trash coping
For super counters, increase the input cooldown significantly so that you have to time it and can’t mash it. For vanish wars, every vanish should be faster and faster while taking more ki
This guy preaching 😂🤣😭 Let it out man this game is terribly unbalanced.. more health instant sparkling + 7 buffs ultra instinct goku meanwhile I’m playing hercule tryna keep things interesting. . . It’s unbelievably painful playing this game I’m numb to the “skill issue’ comments. Freeze frame ults is corny, you shouldn’t be able to charge a spirit ball in my face 🤣 But it’s “lore accurate’ My biggest issue is the more broken characters have more health than the rest of the roster and in a game with a ranked system there’s literally no downside to playing a braindead character MORE HEALTH Instant spark + buffs. Crazy damage… The best part is they message me like they’re nice bc they barley beat a character that’s worse than theirs 😂🤣😭 I could go on man they really dropped a half baked nostalgia bomb and you were speaking facts on that afterimage bro I be wanting to rip my hair out. W video man you earned a sub 👍🏽 keep speaking facts
Nah bro those who tells you yo vanish supers that are unblockable are coping. Kefla even if you vanish the initial hit, it has another hit and you need to know the exact timing of it or else it's still connect.
@@MrGenieBlinks bro, we have BOJACK from the movie, but no GOHAN with the Goku Gi from said movie, and this was in BT3 base game. Let’s not forget the Movies had Story Modes in BT3, but in this game all you got is the movie characters. Don’t get me wrong I LIKED the What If scenarios, but most of them aren’t really that good, I’d say Goku, Gohan, and Frieza got the best What If stories. I woulda preferred they just tell the story like they did before but just include EVERYTHING including the movies. All the customizations are mostly just battle damage, and the worst part is they will probably be selling them off as DLC when they should already be in the game. Then there’s the lack of stages too. Just unfinished in a lot of ways
I feel bad for you man. think the problem is when they bring back a nostalgic game title, people get easily blinded by it. You’re serious about Vegeta not getting a full story?! How?! It’s literally Vegeta?! I sometimes just play the game for the single player content.
Man, yall couldn’t hang in the guilty gear mKx days yall mfs would die from the shit beating ur ass “Fighting game” is a bit of a stretch. You can’t call it a fighting game then get mad when they have party game balance. Cause it’s not a fighting game
@@aa7146 Brother 🤦🏾♂️. Mario PARTY is a Party game. CRASH BANDICOOT is a party game. Mario KART is a party game. Sonic and the Secret Rings has a PARTY GAME MODE. Nintendo games are Party Games. There are no Anime Party Games. Again, I’m not letting y’all come here and use that as an excuse for there to be bullshit online in this game. Your narrative would work if this game had no RANKED MODE in it, and there was no DP battles that actively prevent me from playing any character that I want. They made DP Battles to prevent people from just making teams with all the OP Characters on it. If this is a PARTY GAME like y’all say, then I should be able to play WHOEVER and WHATEVER I want to in EVERY. SINGLE. MODE.
@ this argument is completely besides the point. I can REALLY tell you don’t really play real fighting games. Yeah, sure, those are party games BUT IN REGARDS TO FIGHTING GAMES: DBSZ is a party game. It’s the term used in the fgc. Whenever FighterZ got shit patched, we called it a party game. Whenever GGST got season 4 we call it the party game patch. If anything sparking zero is a KUSOGE arena fighter. Not that you know what that even is. If you want to get literal, go ahead and do that. Be facetious and stupid if you want buddy, it just makes you look unhinged as fuck and out of touch. we all know you anime arena fighter players act like a real fighting game is garlic. however This game is going nowhere near EVO cause it’s not a real fighting game, it’s a party game. Arena fighters are party games. There’s a reason it won’t be balanced. Ranked mode or not, that’s a dumb argument. A ranked mode doesn’t change the party game aspects of an arena fighter, especially this one 😂😂 TLDR; 1: It’s not getting balanced patched, probably just adjustments to fun(cause it’s a party game hence yajirobe nerf) 2: it’s a anime arena fighter. Not a real fighting game no matter what gymnastics you wanna do there buddy. Throw it in a circle for me 3: Stop tryna be the bastion on what’s a fg and what’s not because it’s painfully clear you have no idea what you’re talking about 4: be a man and pick up a real fighting game not no arena fighter 😭😂 you’ll grow thicker skin and will get a lot better at adapting/countering things. How tf you get hit w 6 low charge kicks and be mad. Brother… you let it happen…scrub. Simply a skill issue here and I mean that seriously even if you can’t acknowledge it
@ I ain’t delete nothing dawg 😂. UA-cam probably didn’t like a word you used in your comment and removed it since not even I can see the comment in here anymore. Regardless, I’ll say that you are right in saying this isn’t a TRADITIONAL fighting game like something like Guilty Gear Strive for example. It’s still TECHNICALLY a fighting game purely based on the fact that it is a game where two people are fighting each other, and I have to win by taking their HP to 0. However, the actual Design of the game is that of an ARENA FIGHTER, which comes with different expectations. I disagree with the common idea that Arena Fighters can’t or shouldn’t have well designed combat that can be taken seriously, but that’s a different discussion. Labeling this as a “Party Game” though doesn’t really help anyone, so just saying as a word of advice, call it an Arena Fighter or Anime Fighter as those are proper distinctions.
That's why I don't play online because it would ruin the game for me and I hope they add more stories for the DLC when they put new characters in the game
damn, this is the first review I've seen that hate this game, I love sparking zero and think its a good game but its a good thing that people are starting to see this game isn't perfect and still has flaws
There are so many videos like this. If mfs would learn to take a breath and touch grass they could cut these videos down to a couple minutes with the same points made
The fact that this game has unblockable ults is crazy idc they need to take that out of the game if someone insta rushes you with beerus and throws his ult up close you can’t get outta of it bc you can’t side step it bc it’s to wide and people need to stop talking about vanishing bc that shit is super unreliable no matter how much you play the game.
Ngl, you make valid points. But that doesn't exactly make the game bad, at least imo. What they probably should have done is make online play and online play _only_ balanced. They very easily could do it, they just weren't bothered since that's how it always was. I feel like as a game on a fundamental level, it's amazing. The graphics look beautiful, the animations are amazing, the gameplay is awesome, story mode has cool concepts, lots of attention to detail, so on and so forth. But the simple decision to make it unbalanced ruins the game for some. Also, I think it's a bit disingenuous to say everyone who likes the game fall into the demographic of "It's tenkaichi, therefore no matter what it's peak". I'm sure there are many who bring up these problems and still like the game. In fact, there was a person who brought up an egregious example of it, acknowledging the problem, but still likes the game.
@@sikosonix901 Fair take. And really, if they just didn’t add a RANKED Mode where we all know people are going to play in really annoying ways to get wins, and just had online Battle Mode and Online Tournament Mode, then I wouldn’t be complaining about balance. As you said, I think this game has a lot of fun things and the combat is genuinely fun to learn. We finally got Clashes and Beam Struggles which have been missing from Anime Games for YEARS. The reason I kinda generalized the Sparking Zero defenders is just because I think they MOSTLY consist of people who genuinely don’t even TRY to understand why people like me aren’t enjoying the game, they just reply with nonsense (and MOST ppl who disagree with me in the comments are definitely those type of fans).
i think a good way to balance the ultimates and instant sparking is to have two different versions of the ultimates where if you use it after doing an instant sparking its blockable but if you take the time to charge to sparking its normal
Dude I agree this game has flaws. I also think that unblockable super attack needs to get deleted. Broly also needs to get to nerfed with his unblockable ultimate. Also think there shouldn't be a ranked mode, because at that point no one is trying to have fun. They are just cheesing to get a higher rank and when you get a higher rank you play with people with more cheese. Also nerf ki blasts and nerf ki blasts in sparking mode. Get that shit out of here, the amount of Brolys I have seen do this is outrageous. I still play the game but I just play the characters that I think are cool and I eat shit because I'm not using the Op characters. Anyways after all of that I still play the game since I kinda spent alot of money and I still have fun until I encounter a super saiyan vegito or a z Broly.
I personally love the game it gave us bt4 and its been too long since weve had one and i agree with you 100% on online. But offline play is damn near perfect for me.
Yo I'm just here to say don't listen to the haters. Sparking Zero indeed has one of the worst communities I've seen in my entire life. This is coming from someone who dealt with the Overwatch and Dota 2 and Dead by Daylight community for years. The thing with the Sparking Zero community is that first of all, they love being manipulative and try gaslighting you into thinking there's no flaws with this game. A lot of times when you get backlash for calling out things like AIS and instaspark > ki blast spam, those same people are the ones who rely on it. They don't have a good grasp of the game fundamentals and rely on something that plays the game for them, so they don't want any chance of it being changed. Sparking Zero imo is a pretty solid game (needs adjustments), with a terrible playerbase. The playerbase rn is the true issue. You want a good testament to that statement? I have 200+ hours in player match and only ~2-3 hours in ranked. That being said, 90% of that time in PLAYER MATCH (yknow, the casual game mode) has been spent fighting people who want to cheese instead of throwing hands. I can't with this community dude. People need to touch grass and learn to have fun again because I'm sick of trying to enjoy this game with others and having it constantly tarnished. You're really telling me these people spent over $100 on a fighting game where they do everything BUT fight?
Valid points have been made! I agree with a lot of what you said. I’m hopeful that the devs will hear a lot of the communities outrage and do something about it! Ultimately the game is fun! Mainly when you’re playing against ppl who don’t cheese or rage quit and actually box but as of rn that’s pretty hard to come by.. if they can fix some of those things and fix SC spam, make perception have a cd or something nerf after image etc etc.. the game could really be competitive and more fun to play in higher ranks.. but who knows 🤷🏾♂️ guess we gotta wait and see what they do. Hopefully they don’t ignore these things & let the game die out though cause I really like it.
@@thatjackass1403 yeah that’s the realization I’ve been starting to come to lately man. Like the game WAS PEAK when I wasn’t playing online, but when I started playing online I saw the cheese and how easy it is to exploit the game and THAT is what ruins it. Too many people abuse the cheese and make the game unfun to play.
Honestly was very hyped about the game but i always find myself not enjoying it when i do play. The game is 70 bucks ffs, the story mode is barely there and the online is not fun and the controls don't really feel good. I had a much better time playing BT3 it felt way smoother. The game looks really good though but it's not worth 70bucks. What also sucks is the inability to actually criticize this game as the moment you do meatriding fanboys will just call you trash, it really reminds me of the toxic side of the elden ring community but in this case it feels like the majority of the community
Tbf the Budokai, Tenkaichi games were really only made for offline battles and story mode but it’s like if you pick GT or Z you lose because the meta is ssj4 gogeta and UI goku and when they win with op characters they think their good
Personally, I've been heading a lot of backlash on Sparking Zero since the game's launch last month. At first, I thought it was about Great Ape Vegeta being an input reading troll at the beginning of Goku's story. But luckily, I was quick to learn that the real culprit was playing online with other players. And as someone who casually plays games for nearly 3 decades and gets too competitive online. I am siding with players saying Sparking Zero is bad, but not because of almost spotless and nostalgic gameplay, but that the Online experience is garbage. Even though I have yet to play Sparking Zero, these videos are a reminder for me to never play Online, and just stick to playing with Artificial Intelligence. Clearly this game isn't winning Fighting Game of the Year at TGA, (even though TGA is BS, and few better candidates may win that award.) But being nominated is more than enough for me.
Ima just say this bout the current state of Sparking Zero. Keep the strength of characters the same but please balance these game mechanics, delete or nerf crazy OP skills like after image strike or just make it to where its 5 or 10 seconds not 15, thats way too long. Nerf ki blast sparking spam, I'd also be down for getting rid of all insta sparking skills, just charge up normally. Just make the game balanced while keeping strong characters strong to keep with the DB power scaling, its not that hard. The game needs balancing, not the characters themselves but the mechanics and skills. Also make these rage quitters suffer for rage quitting. Just make ranked fun and the game will last. If it continues the way it is, the game will suffer and fans have pointed this out already. We all LOVE sparking zero, but it needs some work!!! Im hoping we get some big changes in December cause we need em.
For me, it's the goddamn perception spam! Every single time my opponent is free, perception Perception PERCEPTION. There's too many freaking counters too. Perception, super perception, super counter, revenge counter and vanish waaarrs! It's gotta end!
What does that have to do with the lack of content? 180 characters is a lie over 30 is just goku and vegeta forms lmao this has less then a,game on ps2/wii
The fact that the offline two player got ignored almost entirely is really really tragic
@@nathonz NAH WAIT, I didn’t talk about it because I haven’t played split screen with anyone since I mainly fight my friends online. Don’t tell me they fucked up the offline two player dawg
Offline two player isn't bad honestly. If you're playing offline against someone you'd hope that they're respectable enough to fight, or else you wouldn't play them
@jonathanhargraves2241 what? The problem isn't who I'm fighting it's how many maps we have to fight on. How many modes we have to choose from. I will always boot up the old games when my friends come over because they have 2 player Tournaments, team ladder/arcade modes, raging blast has customizable super attacks. This game has none of those. And nothing that replaces it
@@KillaBoy_88 my friend. I hate to tell you I'm sure you've looked it up by now lol. But there's only 1 map for split screen. And the 2 modes DP or Team matches. No tournaments with two players. And again only 1 map is just pathetic in my opinion. Even XenoVerse has like 6 or more
@@nathonz ohhh NOOOO. I thought that shit was a GIVEN. Damn, the more time goes on, the more ya realize this game was rushed quite a bit when it comes to the overall content in the game.
Raging Blast 2 had a mechanic where pressing Block and Heavy Attack together allowed you to block an attack and trigger a vanish attack with cool camera movement. It lasts for a fair moment and can be severely punished if whiffed and isn't spam-able. Sparking Zero could use something like that. This game does feel a bit lacking.
@@coraliousprime That’s a good idea actually. I know people didn’t really like the Raging Blast Games that much, but they DID have some cool things and cool ideas like the one you mentioned

@@cryguy0000 👍 THANK YOU. If there was no ranked mode then there would be no reason to really complain and THEN I would agree with ppl saying this game is supposed to be unbalanced or whatever. But they literally made DP Battles just so people wouldn’t play entire teams of the OP characters. If this game is supposed to be unbalanced, ppl should be able to play whoever they want online. Yajirobe meta really only happened because they incentivize people to play low cost characters with DP mode.

@@MSCModernSonicChannel Yeah man. Honestly, I think the community and the “Toxic Support” for this game upsets me more than the actual game itself. Anime fans are like this in general, but because this is Dragon Ball and we’ve been getting nothing but garbage Anime Games the past few years, because the Tenkaichi games are often regarded as the best DBZ games ever, ppl don’t wanna accept that this game DOES IN FACT have problems. I think even if we’re just talking about offline stuff, they cut corners in a lot of different areas man. Thanks for the comment
The game’s a 7/10 for me. It’s solid, but there are still some things missing (game modes, stages, some characters), and there is also plenty of room for improvement (custom battle editor, world tournament, story mode). Btw. Personally, I don't really care for ranked.
@@xamond2283 Yeah and honestly I wish I could go back to before I played ranked, cuz that was when I wasn’t really aware of how easily exploitable a lot of the moves are. Outside of ranked, I agree the game is pretty fun 100%. At that point I’m just like you and just wish we got more stages, modes, and even the Movie storylines like Budokai Tenkaichi 3 had. I liked having the Cooler, Meta Cooler, Broly, Bojack, and all the other movies as Stories and same for GT. It’s nice having them as characters don’t get me wrong, but I got a little sad that there weren’t storylines for any of them.
@@KillaBoy_88 Yeah, movie story lines would've been awesome.
I don't know why they even bothered adding ranked. The game is obviously an unbalanced cheese fest and feels more casual than competitive. Ranked actually did more harm than good to the game.
@@xamond2283 Good take 👍, thanks for the comment
Ngl, the amount of spam that ranked players rely on is soo obnoxious to deal with. There's people who constantly spam perception, ki blasts, neutral vanish attacks, etc, and then that kind of spam will encourage afterimage strike and unblockable spam, and the list goes on and on.
@@TheExiled112 I swear man, and that’s why I just don’t wanna play the game. As a content creator, I would have to go online and deal with all of that shit. And if I’m not playing an OP character myself, it’s going to be a million times more frustrating to fight against it. So idk man, like I said if they can just tweak a COUPLE more things then I’d be alright. But just tweaking Senzu Bean and dipping out is not it.
I got good at this game just to deal with after image strike characters spamming rush supers on top of the other cringe bs this game has to much the only people having fun are the ones doing it every game this my last dbz game and I’m deleting it I close app on people for a reason not because I’m ass and losing
@@TheExiled112 I used to hate them for it but the more I think about it the game literally incentives lame play. Ski play spam only a thing cause there’s 3 counters and it’s the only way to guarantee damage. Instant sparking spam only a problem cause there’s no down side to doing it. The more I look at how this game is built the more I understand why running away for entire match is the most optimal way to guarantee a win. This game is ass in a competitive since… it’s great offline tho.
@desmondwarren9358 i don't even see vegeta spam ki blasts like S rank players do. I started maining stronger characters and characters with insta spark to counterplay ki blasts since it's soo annoying.

I had a crashout moment about this game yesterday. So i understand how you feel. Ranked is absolutely pointless and spike chunsoft should’ve taken it more seriously.
If they try to change shit now, it’s already too late. The first impressions have already been made.
70 to 100 dollars for a game with not even 10-15 hours of content max is crazy
Yeaaaah, not gonna lie. The game is definitely beautiful in graphics and motion controls (mostly)...but I found that in comparison to past tenkaichi games, there isn't much else to do besides story mode and online. At least before we had world map story modes, we had towers, we had challenge missions, and MULTIPLE outfits for each character (even the ones who didn't even have another outfit)
Online and custom story modes/story modes are really all ya can do in the game.
@@Gemstin Yeah. It’s because in the older games, with no online, they had to actually have enough content to keep you playing the game. But now with Online being in games, companies think that it’s alright to put less effort into the offline content since “everyone” will be playing online, and it sucks. Like you said we have less outfits, less story mode content, less modes, less stages, and less characters. It’s honestly sad that Online Gaming has kinda done this to us.
My problem of the game is not the fighting system. It’s the lack of activities to do in the game. All I ever do, is I hop in on world tournaments on super difficulty and pvp. That’s pretty much it.

@Freeezie raging blast 2 is way better. I can tell you didn't even learn the mechanics that well.. If that were the case you would know
you can tell this video was motivated by one too many crash outs lol
Instant spark is such a bad mechanic, it should cost like 8 skill points. You can get wombo comboed and then say "actually I have ultimate" and you lose because its so easy to confirm
The problem is there’s NO downsides to skill stocks rn. Older games had things like ki sickness (slow ki charge) and nerfed blast stocks after Instant Sparking. SZ has none of that this time round. it ALSO has extremely fast Blast Stock generation both for losing the game and vanish wars
Super Counter + Revenge Counter problems can be solved by just adding a simple combo breaker.
They needlessly complicated a simple concept
You forgot perception lmfao that’s three combo breakers

Thank you for the comment and actually contributing to the discussion on balance instead of deflecting like most have been doing 👍
@@KillaBoy_88 Ey man no problem. As much as I love this game I can't help but agree with some of the points that are being made.
Not to mention the lack of content compared to the previous game. The story feels unfinished and lack presentation, Ultimate battle from BT2 and BT3 is absent, you can't pause matchmaking on ranked and etc.
Niggas want this game at EVO and i'm like "Nah". EVO runs on a schedules, DP Battles (imo) Take fucking forever and usually go to time. With the amount of cheese in this game PLUS niggas doing whatever method it takes to win- shit would be more boring than the bayonetta mirror from Smash 4.
The tenkaichi series was the relic of an era long passed, but with the modernization of the combat, and trying to balance it with the normalization/emphasis of fucking 4 COUNTERS is sickening. people aren't as humble as they used to be about 10-15 years ago, and all they care about is an easy W, Bandai knows that! however, they handled it terribly, and ON TOP OF THAT, they released it unfinished. about a half a year ago, I would've never thought I'd be upset to hear "yo hop on sparking zero" like how I am currently. there's Dragon Ball games on ROBLOX with more optimization than this SEVENTY DOLLAR GAME. embarrassing.

There are way more problems with the game other than just its competitive side. It's rushed in many aspects and not worth its price. Overall, i can't call it a complete upgrade from BT3 since it's missing a lot and is not as polished. A lot of people don't talk about how the rush supers have been downgraded in terms or cheorgraphy, sound quality and overall impact. The best thing it has going for it is pretty graphics and high character count, which is just mostly due to goku and vegeta transformations.
dont worry man, the modding community will save the game. Usually when things like this happen, there will be a team of modders that will make custom balance patches and WHEN THAT DAY COMES I WILL BE BACKING THEM UP HARD BODY.

For super counters, increase the input cooldown significantly so that you have to time it and can’t mash it. For vanish wars, every vanish should be faster and faster while taking more ki

It’s unbelievably painful playing this game I’m numb to the “skill issue’ comments.
Freeze frame ults is corny, you shouldn’t be able to charge a spirit ball in my face 🤣
But it’s “lore accurate’
My biggest issue is the more broken characters have more health than the rest of the roster and in a game with a ranked system there’s literally no downside to playing a braindead character
MORE HEALTH
Instant spark + buffs.
Crazy damage…
The best part is they message me like they’re nice bc they barley beat a character that’s worse than theirs
😂🤣😭
I could go on man they really dropped a half baked nostalgia bomb and you were speaking facts on that afterimage bro I be wanting to rip my hair out.
W video man you earned a sub 👍🏽
keep speaking facts
Nah bro those who tells you yo vanish supers that are unblockable are coping. Kefla even if you vanish the initial hit, it has another hit and you need to know the exact timing of it or else it's still connect.
Bro the content on the game is so limited fr , and need more characters already 😭😂
@@MrGenieBlinks bro, we have BOJACK from the movie, but no GOHAN with the Goku Gi from said movie, and this was in BT3 base game. Let’s not forget the Movies had Story Modes in BT3, but in this game all you got is the movie characters. Don’t get me wrong I LIKED the What If scenarios, but most of them aren’t really that good, I’d say Goku, Gohan, and Frieza got the best What If stories. I woulda preferred they just tell the story like they did before but just include EVERYTHING including the movies. All the customizations are mostly just battle damage, and the worst part is they will probably be selling them off as DLC when they should already be in the game. Then there’s the lack of stages too. Just unfinished in a lot of ways
@ those survey replies gonna be killer 😂
Nah, I love this video, because we know that what you say has a very concentrated truth.
They need to add more end game content , online pvp shouldn't be where is stops..3mil copies they done 😂
Not gon lie my boi. I normally agree with you but you did not cook with this one ❤
Yep, the game is not perfect but it’s still good
Technically BT3 did have a competitive scene and online, so did RB2.
Still better games. And i liked bt 2 more than 3 2 had more content as well
@@quarreneverett4767RB2 isn’t better than Sparking Zero
@supermysticsonic2 lol prove it then
@@quarreneverett4767 Have you ever considering cleaning the gunk out your eyes?
I feel bad for you man. think the problem is when they bring back a nostalgic game title, people get easily blinded by it. You’re serious about Vegeta not getting a full story?! How?! It’s literally Vegeta?! I sometimes just play the game for the single player content.
Bro told you the game wasn’t gonna be balanced, I respect it he didn’t lie he coulda lied to yall face but he stood on it.
Man, yall couldn’t hang in the guilty gear mKx days yall mfs would die from the shit beating ur ass
“Fighting game” is a bit of a stretch. You can’t call it a fighting game then get mad when they have party game balance. Cause it’s not a fighting game
@@aa7146 Brother 🤦🏾♂️. Mario PARTY is a Party game. CRASH BANDICOOT is a party game. Mario KART is a party game. Sonic and the Secret Rings has a PARTY GAME MODE. Nintendo games are Party Games. There are no Anime Party Games. Again, I’m not letting y’all come here and use that as an excuse for there to be bullshit online in this game. Your narrative would work if this game had no RANKED MODE in it, and there was no DP battles that actively prevent me from playing any character that I want. They made DP Battles to prevent people from just making teams with all the OP Characters on it. If this is a PARTY GAME like y’all say, then I should be able to play WHOEVER and WHATEVER I want to in EVERY. SINGLE. MODE.
@ this argument is completely besides the point.
I can REALLY tell you don’t really play real fighting games. Yeah, sure, those are party games BUT IN REGARDS TO FIGHTING GAMES:
DBSZ is a party game. It’s the term used in the fgc. Whenever FighterZ got shit patched, we called it a party game. Whenever GGST got season 4 we call it the party game patch. If anything sparking zero is a KUSOGE arena fighter. Not that you know what that even is.
If you want to get literal, go ahead and do that. Be facetious and stupid if you want buddy, it just makes you look unhinged as fuck and out of touch. we all know you anime arena fighter players act like a real fighting game is garlic. however This game is going nowhere near EVO cause it’s not a real fighting game, it’s a party game. Arena fighters are party games. There’s a reason it won’t be balanced. Ranked mode or not, that’s a dumb argument. A ranked mode doesn’t change the party game aspects of an arena fighter, especially this one 😂😂
TLDR;
1: It’s not getting balanced patched, probably just adjustments to fun(cause it’s a party game hence yajirobe nerf)
2: it’s a anime arena fighter. Not a real fighting game no matter what gymnastics you wanna do there buddy. Throw it in a circle for me
3: Stop tryna be the bastion on what’s a fg and what’s not because it’s painfully clear you have no idea what you’re talking about
4: be a man and pick up a real fighting game not no arena fighter 😭😂 you’ll grow thicker skin and will get a lot better at adapting/countering things. How tf you get hit w 6 low charge kicks and be mad. Brother… you let it happen…scrub. Simply a skill issue here and I mean that seriously even if you can’t acknowledge it
@@KillaBoy_88😭I lost
@ I ain’t delete nothing dawg 😂. UA-cam probably didn’t like a word you used in your comment and removed it since not even I can see the comment in here anymore. Regardless, I’ll say that you are right in saying this isn’t a TRADITIONAL fighting game like something like Guilty Gear Strive for example. It’s still TECHNICALLY a fighting game purely based on the fact that it is a game where two people are fighting each other, and I have to win by taking their HP to 0. However, the actual Design of the game is that of an ARENA FIGHTER, which comes with different expectations. I disagree with the common idea that Arena Fighters can’t or shouldn’t have well designed combat that can be taken seriously, but that’s a different discussion. Labeling this as a “Party Game” though doesn’t really help anyone, so just saying as a word of advice, call it an Arena Fighter or Anime Fighter as those are proper distinctions.
@ I can’t argue with this.
I concede. The hell am I supposed to say to that? You’re right 😨
Take me back to the BT3 and 2 era man...
Ppl spamming gotenks donut attack online makes this game automatically ass by default
Ohhh gotenks is ass compared to buutenks . His heal is so good😭😭 and his donut is way faster
bro starting to sound like when my dad would yell at me holy shit
The fact you can perception in the middle of someone hitting you makes this game stupid and that’s the tip of the iceberg for this trash combat
That's why I don't play online because it would ruin the game for me and I hope they add more stories for the DLC when they put new characters in the game
Subscribed. This is so true bro...
Bro going off and didn’t tell one lie 😂💯💯💯
damn, this is the first review I've seen that hate this game, I love sparking zero and think its a good game but its a good thing that people are starting to see this game isn't perfect and still has flaws
There are so many videos like this. If mfs would learn to take a breath and touch grass they could cut these videos down to a couple minutes with the same points made
Dont they need yo balance it if its implied to be competitive
The fact that this game has unblockable ults is crazy idc they need to take that out of the game if someone insta rushes you with beerus and throws his ult up close you can’t get outta of it bc you can’t side step it bc it’s to wide and people need to stop talking about vanishing bc that shit is super unreliable no matter how much you play the game.
Ngl, you make valid points. But that doesn't exactly make the game bad, at least imo. What they probably should have done is make online play and online play _only_ balanced. They very easily could do it, they just weren't bothered since that's how it always was.
I feel like as a game on a fundamental level, it's amazing. The graphics look beautiful, the animations are amazing, the gameplay is awesome, story mode has cool concepts, lots of attention to detail, so on and so forth. But the simple decision to make it unbalanced ruins the game for some.
Also, I think it's a bit disingenuous to say everyone who likes the game fall into the demographic of "It's tenkaichi, therefore no matter what it's peak". I'm sure there are many who bring up these problems and still like the game. In fact, there was a person who brought up an egregious example of it, acknowledging the problem, but still likes the game.
@@sikosonix901 Fair take. And really, if they just didn’t add a RANKED Mode where we all know people are going to play in really annoying ways to get wins, and just had online Battle Mode and Online Tournament Mode, then I wouldn’t be complaining about balance. As you said, I think this game has a lot of fun things and the combat is genuinely fun to learn. We finally got Clashes and Beam Struggles which have been missing from Anime Games for YEARS. The reason I kinda generalized the Sparking Zero defenders is just because I think they MOSTLY consist of people who genuinely don’t even TRY to understand why people like me aren’t enjoying the game, they just reply with nonsense (and MOST ppl who disagree with me in the comments are definitely those type of fans).
@KillaBoy_88 respectful, appreciate it 🙏
@KillaBoy_88 respectful, appreciate it 🙏
Have you seen the France Tournament?
i think a good way to balance the ultimates and instant sparking is to have two different versions of the ultimates where if you use it after doing an instant sparking its blockable but if you take the time to charge to sparking its normal
Dude I agree this game has flaws. I also think that unblockable super attack needs to get deleted. Broly also needs to get to nerfed with his unblockable ultimate. Also think there shouldn't be a ranked mode, because at that point no one is trying to have fun. They are just cheesing to get a higher rank and when you get a higher rank you play with people with more cheese. Also nerf ki blasts and nerf ki blasts in sparking mode. Get that shit out of here, the amount of Brolys I have seen do this is outrageous. I still play the game but I just play the characters that I think are cool and I eat shit because I'm not using the Op characters. Anyways after all of that I still play the game since I kinda spent alot of money and I still have fun until I encounter a super saiyan vegito or a z Broly.
I personally love the game it gave us bt4 and its been too long since weve had one and i agree with you 100% on online. But offline play is damn near perfect for me.
This is why I stuck to Budokai 3
Yo I'm just here to say don't listen to the haters. Sparking Zero indeed has one of the worst communities I've seen in my entire life. This is coming from someone who dealt with the Overwatch and Dota 2 and Dead by Daylight community for years.
The thing with the Sparking Zero community is that first of all, they love being manipulative and try gaslighting you into thinking there's no flaws with this game. A lot of times when you get backlash for calling out things like AIS and instaspark > ki blast spam, those same people are the ones who rely on it. They don't have a good grasp of the game fundamentals and rely on something that plays the game for them, so they don't want any chance of it being changed.
Sparking Zero imo is a pretty solid game (needs adjustments), with a terrible playerbase. The playerbase rn is the true issue. You want a good testament to that statement? I have 200+ hours in player match and only ~2-3 hours in ranked. That being said, 90% of that time in PLAYER MATCH (yknow, the casual game mode) has been spent fighting people who want to cheese instead of throwing hands. I can't with this community dude. People need to touch grass and learn to have fun again because I'm sick of trying to enjoy this game with others and having it constantly tarnished. You're really telling me these people spent over $100 on a fighting game where they do everything BUT fight?
I literally typed in sparking zero is ass to find this vid
😂😂
i knew this game was grits when they lowered the AI difficulty
Nah thats facts about insta spark, it should 1000% cost 5 skill points and afterimage strike should last 5 seconds MAX
Also just take unblockable ults out of offline play lol
Valid points have been made! I agree with a lot of what you said. I’m hopeful that the devs will hear a lot of the communities outrage and do something about it! Ultimately the game is fun! Mainly when you’re playing against ppl who don’t cheese or rage quit and actually box but as of rn that’s pretty hard to come by.. if they can fix some of those things and fix SC spam, make perception have a cd or something nerf after image etc etc.. the game could really be competitive and more fun to play in higher ranks.. but who knows 🤷🏾♂️ guess we gotta wait and see what they do. Hopefully they don’t ignore these things & let the game die out though cause I really like it.
Everytime someone's about to lose online? People always rage quit
Sparking glazers when they say the game is supposed to be unbalanced
Bro if a fighting game exist mfs always find a way to ruin it on god.
@@thatjackass1403 yeah that’s the realization I’ve been starting to come to lately man. Like the game WAS PEAK when I wasn’t playing online, but when I started playing online I saw the cheese and how easy it is to exploit the game and THAT is what ruins it. Too many people abuse the cheese and make the game unfun to play.
Honestly was very hyped about the game but i always find myself not enjoying it when i do play. The game is 70 bucks ffs, the story mode is barely there and the online is not fun and the controls don't really feel good. I had a much better time playing BT3 it felt way smoother. The game looks really good though but it's not worth 70bucks. What also sucks is the inability to actually criticize this game as the moment you do meatriding fanboys will just call you trash, it really reminds me of the toxic side of the elden ring community but in this case it feels like the majority of the community
this how spider-man 2 is 😂😂😂 l
Tbf the Budokai, Tenkaichi games were really only made for offline battles and story mode but it’s like if you pick GT or Z you lose because the meta is ssj4 gogeta and UI goku and when they win with op characters they think their good
This message could have been delivered without the crash out but yeah i agree
Personally, I've been heading a lot of backlash on Sparking Zero since the game's launch last month. At first, I thought it was about Great Ape Vegeta being an input reading troll at the beginning of Goku's story. But luckily, I was quick to learn that the real culprit was playing online with other players. And as someone who casually plays games for nearly 3 decades and gets too competitive online. I am siding with players saying Sparking Zero is bad, but not because of almost spotless and nostalgic gameplay, but that the Online experience is garbage. Even though I have yet to play Sparking Zero, these videos are a reminder for me to never play Online, and just stick to playing with Artificial Intelligence. Clearly this game isn't winning Fighting Game of the Year at TGA, (even though TGA is BS, and few better candidates may win that award.) But being nominated is more than enough for me.
He doesn't say anything this entire video.
Nah bc afterimage strike needs to be nerfed or smth you can run a full team of characters with it in dp ranked and it is a nightmare to fight
Ima just say this bout the current state of Sparking Zero. Keep the strength of characters the same but please balance these game mechanics, delete or nerf crazy OP skills like after image strike or just make it to where its 5 or 10 seconds not 15, thats way too long. Nerf ki blast sparking spam, I'd also be down for getting rid of all insta sparking skills, just charge up normally. Just make the game balanced while keeping strong characters strong to keep with the DB power scaling, its not that hard. The game needs balancing, not the characters themselves but the mechanics and skills. Also make these rage quitters suffer for rage quitting. Just make ranked fun and the game will last. If it continues the way it is, the game will suffer and fans have pointed this out already. We all LOVE sparking zero, but it needs some work!!! Im hoping we get some big changes in December cause we need em.
For me, it's the goddamn perception spam! Every single time my opponent is free, perception Perception PERCEPTION. There's too many freaking counters too. Perception, super perception, super counter, revenge counter and vanish waaarrs! It's gotta end!
So you loved the game in single player, had zero complaints. Then you played online and found you were not good and thus are upset.
What does that have to do with the lack of content? 180 characters is a lie over 30 is just goku and vegeta forms lmao this has less then a,game on ps2/wii
