An ACTUAL Sparking Zero Combo Tutorial

[@JaeChizzle]

Thank you to everyone commenting and sharing I’m so glad you appreciated the video! As I said I am a noob at this game but I was just so frustrated with all the lack luster combo tutorials. I did make a couple mistakes so check out the comments below for the much smarter and better people who made corrections!

[@timthel0rd]

Possibly the only guide that didn't assume I already have 500 hours of experience playing other DBZ etc. style games. Great work.

[@raynmanm16]

I played the games a lot when I was in school and needed a refresher so this will be beneficial for everyone 😊

[@PCFROMVCS]

Bro THANK YOU. People who have played Tenkaichi for years just turn on the camera and yap about mechanics without actually saying anything and call that a tutorial. This game is nothing like normal fighting games and I absolutely need good tutorials to learn it

[@seess8251]

I apologise on behalf of my people, we Tenkaichi veterans get very upset when we get beaten by 12yos who mash their face into the controller😂

[@skult227]

@@seess8251 if they're mashing their face how are veterans losing 😂 clearly it's a skill issue isn't it xD

[@BullyMaguirest]

Because it's better than norma fighting games, it's a next gen. Idgaf about your normal fighting games with super unblockable combos and the one who wins is the one who can do it first or get behind the back of the opponent. Sounds like fucking fun, right? I prefer action packed unpredictable fights, where you have options to stop combos, but if enemy is better, they can counter your counter and continue with the combo. Learn to play, skill issue.

[@dahn4726]

YES!! This video covered something many many others didn’t. The actual intended mechanics of the combat system. They give you building blocks with every single input, and you explained that beautifully, as well as how to put those building blocks together. It helped me visualize the combat in a way I never have before, and probably couldn’t have on my own. Great video, keep doing this style even if it’s hard work. It’ll pay off for you.

[@inrisd3704]

After a lift strike, press A,Y to homing jump into a heavy finish (stun) from there you can hit x,x,x,x,x -a,x, x,x,x,x,x -x -xx for the auto combo, reset, auto combo w/launcher, into follow ups. Always end your last followup with down, then lightning strike. This will put you right next to them while they try to recover. Rush supers, ground grabs, or perfect smashes can start a new combo off the ground. You can also switch h characters after launching to have your new character continue the combo

[@connortipton2137]

Dang I really wish this wasn't An ACTUAL Sparking Zero Combo Tutorial, now my matches are going to get harder :(

[@ILikeCheeserz]

And you'll be better for it

[@jaimemj2]

Thanks man, this really helped for those of us who played a bit of Tenkaichi 3 but just as a kid with friends and didn't actually know anything. Keep them coming. One focused on defense and blocks like you said at the end would be fucking great.

[@ArbitraryDevCC]

AMAZING video, thank you so much! This game's combat system really deserves to shine and it won't until more people understand it and are willing to learn it. Thank you for making it more accessible.

[@meleeludens]

good example of what a big difference in rush combos between characters makes, Mr Satan having a heavy finish available after a single punch actually makes him much more viable in neutral than people realize use Mr Satan’s ‘False Courage’ for flinch resistance, and use X -> half-charged Y, and you’re basically guaranteed for whatever punish you like. his grab actually sets up for punishes extremely well too, so i’d recommend (false courage) -> X -> charged Y -> grab -> dynamic punch/present as a basic combo for Mr Satan. that kind of thinking has given me enough value with him to main him in singles and win sometimes ^-^ i think if you made a video demonstrating how strong understanding of combo fundamentals can make even Mr Satan viable at skilled play, that’d be sick hehe amazing video btw, so so grateful to have someone properly explain the mechanics without assumptions or misinformation :)

[@rogumann838]

Finally someone made a good video for us who don't know what they're doing. And only 160 subs is surprising for this quality

[@thomas19994]

Incredibly valuable video please continue with a movement/defence tutorial! Love from italy

[@xxyoshidaxx9239]

This video is really amazing The editing with the Buttons on screen and name of the combo is a simple thing to do, but it helps a lot understanding it, will definitely reccomend to my friends I'm a long time Tenkaichi Fan, but even I learned from this video, keep up the good work dude

[@parafoxl7619]

PLEASE do more tutorials like this this is the only proper one so far omg

[@nizizumi]

I completely forgot about unique follow ups. More of us need to look at the controls more. Epic video.

[@SherlockHolmes000]

Very very descriptive. Awesome job, extremely helpful.

[@TheHollywoodHino]

This is literally exactly what I’ve been looking for. You’re spot on about other combo videos not really being any help. This video is perfect. Liked and subbed

[@eliaxxz5360]

Dude, this earned a subscription. Finally someone who does a tutorial properly

[@mickyccini1978]

That was clear and simple, even for a non native english speaker, thank's mate, great job

[@earthtwig]

this video needs more appreciation this was made perfectly!

[@VentusLionheart]

Finally something useful. None of the other tutorials actually go in depth on how to link the combos and how many times you can do them, etc. They all just assume everyone has been play BT3 for the last 17 years.

[@michaeledie8474]

I've used so many guides and still had no idea what was going on. This is the first guide i have actually learned some stuff. Thanks a lot man

[@Wolflkin]

By far the best offensive Sparking Zero tutorial on KZbin. Good Job!

[@finfen9730]

Best combo video I've seen so far. The next video you should make is a defense video, specifically when to tap guard/hold guard to z-counter/vanish supers. Beerus ultimate is busting up people right now.

[@Nerf_Everything]

I really appreciate this video, so I'm commenting to let you know and help with the beloved algorithm.

[@JIMJACK_YE_YE]

best tutorial ive seen thus far. great job

[@DudeLongcouch]

Thanks buddy. This definitely cleared up a few things that had been confusing me.

[@kidlif3853]

Good job on the tutorial 👍🏽 I actually learned something new from this video as well ; that i can follow up the auto combo a 3rd time. When i get the chance I'll have to see if it benefits my gameplay.

[@ShockSlayer]

This is fantastic as someone coming into the game. Will 100% be referencing it in tutorial mode for a while.

[@dfwm148]

This deserves a subscribe AND a like, I love how ur straightforward and just telling us what needs to be told, also that you're using an xbox controller. Maybe for the next video you can make an ACTUAL defense guide or something like that you know? Thanks for this information!!

[@Theroyflynn]

This video was great man! All meat, no filler. Great refresher for me

[@chrisstoltejr.7080]

Bro this is the exact video most of the playerbase needed

[@Thewindyfan]

Actually a good tutorial subbed, keep up the sparking zero content man

[@cuddlypoetatoe5589]

7:23 as an addendum, not every character actually has a guaranteed grab after grand slash, they need the move " ground throw" in their move list in the explanation of controls tab. it can be inconsistent for dp costs cuz from my testing as someone like spopovich(2dp) has it but ssj gt goku(6dp) doesn't. and it isn't a height thing either, yamcha doesn't have it despite being average height and ssj3 gt goku has it despite his previous forms lacking it besides that this is the best combo video I've seen so far!

[@JaeChizzle]

Thank you for the correction!

[@sem_aki]

Finally someone mentions the lift and down smash combo enders

[@bg-cc6hn]

Commenting to boost the video in the algorithm MUCH better explanation of the Rush Chains and other mechanics than other guides that are out there Hope this does well and you get the credit you deserve!

[@JaeChizzle]

Thank you!

[@seess8251]

Good job bro, covered all the basics for newcomers ❤ I suggest you do a defensive guide too (trickier but most needed 😂) since everyone spams perception and can't counter it

[@davidfox2650]

best tutorial out there. the rest just yapp away like we know what their pressing all the time lol

[@alincirjau4197]

Great combo video. I'd love to see a counter video with the same quality. Cheers keep up the good work.

Thanks a lot!

[@matmerz]

Sick video man

[@Arcryoto]

you’re goated

[@DaviddeBergerac]

Meta comment but you might do well providing tutorials on defense and how to counter some of the more notorious cheesy stuff going on with say, yajirobe or kefla or wheelo

[@Zach-bc7xi]

Perfect combo tutorial. Cant wait for the counter video

[@LyfelessGaming]

Your rush in is anytime you can actually rush, not just as a follow up it's the same move if you rush in from outside of melee. It also doesn't count as a part of your rush chain so it's just +1 hit to any rush chain you are trying to reach

[@TheMehkey]

Not a flawless guide, but a great starting point. Problem is, that most of these "combos" are not true combos and can be simply blocked midway trough. Also the number of vanishes and dragon homings isnt exactly 2, but character dependent, if they havnt changed that.

[@JehrkeFR]

True, and you get more vanishes during sparking

[@fakechloe207]

There are no true combos in the game bro, there is a counter to every rush attack

[@TheMehkey]

@@fakechloe207 1. there are true combos 2. ofc we are excluding super counter, which is hard to perform and needs a hard read, when not going for luck 3. shut up Meg

[@JaeChizzle]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@kingenfuuken]

Thanks so much, there is so many trash videos out there just trying to cash in.

[@JaeChizzle]

@@kingenfuuken hey I appreciate it!

[@robertgarcia3741]

Finally, thank you.

[@mattyryon]

Every (Y) in the combo chain is blockable. Every hit period can be mashed out of with up+x (or square.) The only real combos in the game are ki blast combos

[@JaeChizzle]

Thank you for the correction!

[@dezbez5599]

you should make and advanced guide w tech like how you can flank after ki blast cannon and heavy finish

Good looks, this helped me

[@voidxii3675]

Hi man really great guide, but now im straggling in defense in general, i dont the difference of the counters or block and why i should use them, how to use them or when i should use them 😅😅. If you can make a guide for this i think it will be well receveid!

[@peep2158]

god damn, perfect

W VIDEO TIME TO RANK UP

Could you make an actual defense tutorial since that's what i've been struggling with the most?

[@J3f33]

W video 😊

[@JackDaniels-ex9mf]

4:59 what is the difference in these two inputs? Im having trouble understanding both are the a button with y but i dont know what you did differently with them to make one a rush in and one a step in.

[@JaeChizzle]

@@JackDaniels-ex9mf rush in can ONLY be performed after the five hit combo (XXXXX). Step in can be performed at any time as long as you’re close to the opponent.

[@JackDaniels-ex9mf]

@@JaeChizzle ahh i see thank you alot

[@StephenSchleis]

Can you do the same video again, but with PlayStation controls and standard controls

[@Scrumbumbler]

Yeah brother a list of counter counters would be great Perception works for two things and bumper all of them 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@TyrJustice]

I might get from d5 to c5 with this 😂

[@Notaytchannel-i4v]

11:54 you can also cancel these into another combo

Bro I thought I was good already but now it’s time to go wreck my homies and link them the video

[@newenergyexperience434]

We're getting out of D5 with this one boys🙏

[@sweatpants1447]

So flying kicks and ki clast cannon are the same buttons or am i missing something here? How do you differentiate?

[@JaeChizzle]

@@sweatpants1447 it’s different per character. Some characters XY might be flying kicks and for another XY might be ki blast cannon.

[@c0al]

how do I know when I can combo into a super move? I'm kind of confused about how those work in general

[@JaeChizzle]

great question. Usually when you knock your opponent far away from you like when you send them flying backwards and also when you send them crashing toward the ground.

[@c0al]

@@JaeChizzle amazing, thanks so much

[@JaemSolitude]

I might of skipped it but are these regular controls?

[@JaeChizzle]

not sure what you mean but yes lol

[@spartanonyx7165]

as you said, finally what ive been looking for. some of us really love dragon ball and excel at FPS or any other games except fighting. Now finally we have a recent dragon ball game to get into that isn't a difficult 2D fighter. I also dont like 2D fighters since you dont get such a big open space to fight in. This tutorial really helps a lot of us get into this game much easier. I've always sucked with combos in fighting games because i read what the move list says but the move never actually happens especially for easier fighters/brawlers like smash. Seeing the combos done and explained helps so much. A lot of tutorials just use the "Key words" to describe what they are doing rather then showing what buttons to push on screen when this game has a million names for every little different attack you can do. brother im not remembering those fucking names just show me the damn buttons

Can do up strike/sweep after a step too.

no you can only do a grand slash or lift strike after a rush attack (X). either 1,2,3 or 4.

[@MajinStrach]

@@JaeChizzle Brother, go back to training and do (xbox controls and on classic) X>DOWN+Y I can make a clip? EDIT: A>DOWN+Y is the input (I corrected!)

[@JaeChizzle]

@@MajinStrach at 7:31 you can see i am able to do X, down+Y. after a step you get step in hit (A, X). but you cannot do step in grand slash (A, down+Y)

[@MajinStrach]

@@JaeChizzle You can just practice the timing. Any step you can: Y/UP+Y/DOWN+Y. watch my clip i posted?

[@MajinStrach]

@@JaeChizzle I made on error. I mixed xbox/ps controls. A>DOWN+Y im sorry. That does step in>sweep. Again, that was my error, but it does exist!

[@mhuhu]

FYI, something important about rush-in+x at 5:13. They have "hidden" variations, you have rush-in then - x, which we've seen in the vid, can be blocked by a standard guard - up+x, can be guarded by a low guard - down+x, you guessed it, needs a high guard if you block those successfully (whilst enemy is attacking from front), you get free hits on your opponent as long as you attack them directly after the block, with no delay. If you've ever wonder why sometimes you can block those rush in+x while your enemy is attacking your front, that's why, they mix up their input. Some people don't do this on purpose, they simply hold forward while playing. For example, if you spot someone always doing rush in attacks coming from bellow/above/mid when doing rush-in X follow up, take advantage of this! Obviously, people with auto-block on will always guard a classic rush-in+x, so mixing up will allow you to continue your combo, even while facing them. Perception works on all these rush-in variation if they have at least 1 skill count. Up to you to decide if you want to make them waste those precious resources and if it's worth to take a counter. Perception counters aren't that bad as neither your opponent nor you have the advantage once the animation is over, unlike when doing perfect high/low blocks. If you don't want the counter to happen, use any other option you can think of, rush-in side step in the back, or vanish attack, or grab. or just back away and reset - totally up to you guys.

[@JaeChizzle]

Thank you for the clarification!

[@mhuhu]

@@JaeChizzle no worries, took me time to figure this stuff out. I was going mad not understanding why sometime you get a block and sometime you don't.

Ofcourse it's Xbox controls lol... This is first tutorial I've seen that's not PS honestly, I'm diehard Sony fan anyway tho

[@FastAkira]

But.... Those combos doesnt work... They are not real combos, no? If the opponent blocks after the first few hits, it will end your string.

[@JaeChizzle]

you're right some of these combos can be interrupted with a block. but this just gives you a very basic idea of how combos work. it's meant for people who know nothing.
