This man is speaking facts. Arena fighters are fighting games. They can be played competitively. People said the same thing about smash ultimate/melee and it’s pretty clear they’re both fighting games with vibrant competitive scenes This game has neutral/punish phases. Not every game has to be in the same 2d fighter genre. Honestly imo the neutral for this game is intriguing to me due to the mind games that can be played to get around the many defensive options in sparking zero. Honestly super smash bros melee shows you don’t need to be at evo to be played competitively

[@theviewtifulbrand]

@@notgiven3971 Smash and DBSZ are two completely different games Smash can be enjoyable to watch this game will be terrible at high level because of instant sparking+ buffs and no drawbacks that cost 3 skill points which is gained faster by losing.

Lack of Frame data, proper training mode, roll back netcode, crossplay, character health balance, damage scaling, proper punishes, auto sparking, lack of reparable fgc players even accepting the game or even playing it besides diaphone, lack of support from developers, toxic community.

[@larrywoolfolk8224]

Nah dog we aren't accepting Arena fighters, they are meant for fun and that's where they shine the best. They simply aren't balanced for top level competitive play or else we would have the same issues that plague fighting games which is it would be too hard for the average casual to play at even the lowest skill bracket for competitive play which is just online. Platform fighters get a pass because they even as goofy as they can be still adhere to most FGC fundamentals. Dunno if you saw the TNS Sparking Zero tournament but that shit was ASS, it was hard even for the spectators.

[@Avataryaya]

You did not watch the video I legit tacked all of this

[@PerfectLegend]

Amen brother!

[@LOLcheeseORZ]

Super counter needs to be removed or at least take resources. I don't see how anyone can take this game seriously with how polarizing it is right now. Theres also the fact that sometimes mechanics just doesn't work (Tagging, Special moves, Dragon dash).

[@Avataryaya]

Yes I talked about this

[@noBody-ue6cs]

Platform fighters are acknowledged, but it will never not be fun to pick on smash players. Arena fighters on the other hand haven't put out a game that gained respect and prestige yet. And you can't get the fgc to respect these games by asking. Sparking zero doesn't look like it can cut it. You can play sweaty all you want but the game needs a respectable meta and watchability

[@zenossaki]

Gundam Versus series gets alot of respect in the fgc in that's an arena fighter

[@00pium_D3vil]

It is competitive, but the game state needs to be touched up. Also the viewer experience isn’t the best, but it could be in the future with the right changes.

[@juggbot4572]

Y would sparking be at evo when nobody likes it not even the player base… they CHOSE to approach the game by constantly complaining and hating on their OWN FELLOW PLAYERS!… nobody takes the game serious cuz the devs don’t and the player base doesn’t… so why should the wider FGC give a fuck… why is an anime game, a mf DRAGONBALL GAME at that showing half the average player base on steam as SF6 during the Sparking zero honey moon phase… not you Yaya but 90% of sparking zero content creators are literally just moaning and complaining about the game that THEY asked for… why should anyone else care especially when that shit is boring as hell to watch on top of it all… 122,000 players to 12,000 on steam during the honey moon phase shows all we need to see… granted I understand the console player base is not included at all and represents arguably the MAJORITY of the community… despite that undeniable fact about the player base the Steam numbers give you a very good insight into the trend of how people feel about the game… I play SF6 and sweat my ass off then when I’m tired and crossfaded I hop on sparking zero and tilt everyone… this is the niche the game represents and how the devs and player base developed the game to be

[@CrystalPantherMeanFangs]

15:48 why can’t the arena fighters have there own scene? The better question is why do the arena fighters WANT to coexist with traditional fg when they can easily trailblaze and do there own thing like smash has. You never here smash players complain they took their tent and setup there own convention and are thriving

Dude. Smash is the only Smash game that's thriving. MVS is dead. NSAB gave you RC and people still aren't playing it. Rivals of Aether 2 you say? We'll see in a few months. Brawlhalla is the only one that's doing decent and that game is really old.

[@Schnee7929]

I've honestly already gotten bored of the Sparking Zero competitive scene. It's either people stalling for their instant spark or instant transmission. Don't get me wrong I still love the game, but fights start to blend together once you hit the top tiers of ranked. Arena fighters deserve to be in EVO, just not this one.

[@LokiBeckonswow]

great video, love ur points

[@Atum_Kami]

For a game to be worth considering for EVO, certain elements are essential. If it lacks a strong competitive fan base (over 40%), stable online play, or rollback netcode, it’s unlikely to succeed. Unbalanced arenas that spark debates and non-skippable intros that hinder matches also add to the issues. The community becomes divided over team vs. single battles, mirroring the divide that makes Super Smash Bros. more of a party game than a competitive fighter. Even in Smash, only a minority played Melee ‘seriously’ (e.g., wave-dashing pre-internet was known by maybe 20%, around 2.5 million out of 7 million players). Games like this don’t inherently push for skill development; most advanced combos emerged after the internet allowed knowledge sharing. When I voiced my hopes for Sparking Zero to be competitive and have stable online play on Reddit, the fan base ridiculed me, dismissing me as a ‘kid’ for wanting a more serious game.

[@Coswalker27]

we are really doing a smash bro to this game. spark zero will be the melee of this game. i feel like this will probably be done by mods.

[@musicandaffection6363]

[@alejandrocastaneda6958]

Game is for sure competitive g.

[@remand3r71]

The game isn’t competitive and THATS OKAY, the devs themselves said it isn’t. Idk why people feel like they know better than the people who MADE THE GAME and know what they wanted to make it.

[@BlueLightningSky]

First they need to implement a competitive ruleset. That will solve a lot of the unfun play styles. But after that they need to grow a community for that rule set because I'm 100 sure that Bamco isn't doing that. Then they need to find a way to play offline that isn't garbage split screen. If they do that then sure we'll see it at Evo. If you ask me I'll take that Bleach game before Sparking Zero.

[@AzureSix]

Imo, vanishing and super counter are only part of the problem DBSZ has. The Major reason i wouldnt want to see DBSZ at Evo is time issues. The game goes on for way to long. Hell DBFZ can go one for almost 5 minutes each round and that hurts the tournament run time. L21 GOT BANNED from CEO and from Bum's event on her first iteration. Due to how much longer she made matches last. Sparking Zero ALREADY has a lot of time scamming issues. Sure you can ban characters that promote the play style. But like u said in the video vanish wars eats up to much time during matches, and the ability to super counter in vanish wars just increase the time of it to. Til Sparking zero can fix issues like time and viewability i dont think it has a place. ECT people dropped out of the bracket just because it took to long. TNS ran one it took 7 hours. I dont know how long Q's tournament took. But reasonable time to run an event is a big factor.

[@elivazquez9287]

Just because something can be made competitive through ruleset doesn't mean it should be. I agree that sparking zero can be competitive, but the amount of limitations and stipulations it would require would strip the game down too much.

[@ZettaSlow]

This video was a W brofam!

[@kevinmartinibarra589]

When there is no character expression in a fighting game, that's where i don't see a place where the competitive side can be fun to watch (atleast), like in fighterz you can't compare how a Ginyu player plays to a UI Goku player plays, they are built to play different and your knowledges of the character can't translate (for most cases) to the other, the UI player will feel like playing a completely new game while trying out Ginyu, and the other player will just need to find UI Goku's optimals and some timings on combos of how the character's difficulty seems wich for that Ginyu player will find easier in comparison to his main, in sparking if you learn how to play one character (anyone besides giants) congrats! You know how every other character is meant to be played, just pick the most broken one and you are ready to try to compete! since every character feels the same but with another skin, where is the fun to lab things that are not super counter timing then? I hope yall don't get bored when seeing the same characters on every grand finals, because whats the point of choosing a weaker character when it will feel the same as playing the stronger character? And all of you complaining why the people choose the same 5 characters in ranked 😅

[@Walt_Xander94]

The sub genres aren’t easily viewable and easy to understand. If you gotta explain it to the average viewer people aren’t gonna wanna see it. It’s not a diss to platform fighters or arena fighters but evo is the largest fighting game platform they want accessibility to all viewers not just fighting game players. Also dragonball fighterz held it down as the main marvel versuz game possibly being replaced by hunterXhunter. It’s not about competitively viable it’s about entertain and easy to sit down and watch

Lol keep dreaming arenos. Look this game has zero value from a spectators view. They wont do 1vs1 because you'll just see the same 5 characters from pools straight to grandfinals -best way to make this work competitively is to keep it 3v3,otherwise the matches will simply take to long - then you have the lame ass vanishing wars....bruh😴 -The sweatier the matches are the lamer they are to watch,especially whe its super armour or after image spamming 🤖"it is futile",Ki spamming keeping distance - here is the biggest flaw of the game. You spoke on busted vanilla marvel but you what happened to that and other fighting games? BALANCE UPDATES!! But since yall arenos are against balance changes it means this game will NEVER change. It gonna be what we have now till the end of time. Who gon watch this 2 years from now still doing damn vanishing wars till 2030

[@DBZFANX1000]

-But since yall arenos are against balance changes it means this game will NEVER change.- It had a update and its getting another update thats not nessecarrily the case. -Who gon watch this 2 years from now- Tenkaichi 3 was still played decades later dafuq. Also sparking zero is currently still getting more than tekken 8 the game thats known to be competetive and thats on steam. Mind you tenkaichi started of as a playstation game. -They wont do 1vs1 because you'll just see the same 5 characters from pools straight to grandfinals- Prettty sure tekken had like several dragonov's in the finals but i guess excuses if its arena fighter. As if other competetive games don't have people pick the same characters in to the grand finals i hate to break it to you but actual evo competetive fighters do that too. -then you have the lame ass vanishing wars....bruh- Those can be adjusted if they make them like tenkaichi 3 it be fine again this is already brought up as its just easy just adjust them we getting updates already. Some games took a month or so for an update. We got an update within the same montrh.

[@Regula_joe]

@DBZFANX1000 you clearly dont understand what is means when a fighting game gets an update. What dbsz got was fixes to moves the public deembed too busted. Fighting games on the other hand gets updates to specifically make certain characters better and others a lil weaker,new moves ect. That is not what db got and it will never get because you guys dont want that. You are talking about year 1 tekken and it keeps been adjusted to address that exact dragon issue. Again tekken meta will change alot as the years progress due to balance changes and that will help keep the game interesting. Yes there is a crowd that still watches tenkai games.....all 10 of them still there. Dbsz has already dropped significally after its initial release and that will keep going because its gonna get stale. They will never add new moves or buff certain characters, at best they will address things that will be seen as to busted but hey like I said,keep on dreaming that arena evo dream.

[@DBZFANX1000]

@@Regula_joe fixes to moves deemed to busted is the same thing as making a character weaker or stronger if its on a specific character what are you yapping about thats cope. Its the same thing.
