¡EPIC COMPARISON! Dragon Ball Sparking Zero vs. The Original Anime

Hello guys, in this video I bring you a comparison of the cinematics seen in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero and the anime of both Z and Super, if you like this kind of videos please like and comment on ideas for the next videos, I'm done working on the second part so expect it soon, enjoy the video.

[@KiboNoKami希]

Sparking! Zero is also referencing the manga as well, not just the anime, and maybe other sources as well

[@fuji3d_studio]

I've just realized what DBZ games are missing, the one thing to make them look like the actual anime... Reaction shots from the opponent taking heavy blasts. Just think about it guys, instead of just seeing the explosions, also seeing the opponent screaming in pain, looking desperate/in fear, etc.

[@DelanoSeven7]

They did that in FighterZ and it adds so much.

[@gamingchimp3947]

1:35 what is that hand XD I hope they fix it

[@SD-vp5vo]

i hope they fix those trash effects

[@Dell-ol6hb]

Also some of the characters look too skinny, like Vegeta

[@piratehunterzoro702]

1:15 Vegeta’s face also looks derpy when smiling bcz his mouth is closed. Luckily everything we’ve seen is a old game build so hopefully everything is already fixed.

[@maguirre16]

How do these new Dragon Ball games look better than Super Hero?

[@pensandoemalgo.5722]

Oh, you exaggerated, the Super Hero film is very beautiful, yes, and it has more use of 2D techniques and corrections on top, whereas in zero sparking, there is not much way to do this, as the camera is not fixed, so, they are fixed models that look good enough from most angles

[@MagnificantSasquatch]

They don't. They’re stylized differently in a way that delivers quick bursts of high feedback, giving the Tiktok brain the dopamine rush that presumes this indicates superiority. In reality, if a full DB movie were animated in this fashion -overabundance of effects and all- it would quickly become exhausting and lose the audience’s investment in the same way recent Marvel films have.

[@Hyliangardd]

1:21 A explosão ficou bem pequena comparada ao anime... Esse golpe deveria ser maior e destruir todo o cenário.

[@gorofujita5767]

This has very little merit, as the things being highlighted here are all automated cutscenes, which the player just activates with the press of a button at the right time.... And then sits back and watches, for 5 or 10 seconds. It's akin to the _rock-paper-scissors_ cutscene mechanics from Budokai 3, which journalists found great at first, but a few months down the line, players got fed up with, as those weren't something players were *actually* doing. Ultimately those cutscenes only served to bring a halt to the more immersive parts of the gameplay -- the individualized, decision-dependent move-units the player makes -- and like QTEs, after you've seen those twice, there's not much else to see. It would be much much better (like, a true *quantum leap* in terms of gameplay excellence) to have the player be able to execute many of these scenes from the anime by stringing together individualized moves, positioning themselves on the arena with lighting-fast dashes of their own, and basically making their own combos with very granular moves, and having ultimates also be much more "customizable" while preparing/doing them, in a mix of _Super Dragon Ball Z_ (PS2) and _Destrega_ (PS1) . 20yr old games like *Zone of the Enders 2* allow for such a level of precise movement, and for the fluid mixture of so many different moves that, if those were translated into a DBZ game (and added a more refined combo/ movement stringing system on top of it), it would provide a much more advanced, immersive, interesting and memorable experience. Thus far, the thing that this game is selling the most is *graphics.* Not improvements to gameplay; not a more immersive and dynamic camera work, and certainly not better physics. In the gameplay department, it is just as janky as Raging Blast 2, and while that is not bad (Raging Blast 2 wasn't that janky -- although, yes, it did have _some_ jank) it certainly isn't great, as we've had better analogous experiences in the past, in games like those I mentioned above. And while games like those aren't DBZ games that fully execute the "DBZ experience", they excel at executing individual *elements* from such "DBZ experience". And when it's been 2 literal decades, it's time to also go into the past, and resurrect forgotten elements, and integrate them into a present day experience.

[@abrahampena1263]

It's called dramatic moments You can also argue fighterz did the same thing lmao

[@Norrabal]

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from somewhat

[@joshuakulah1496]

This is very true. But one of the reasons why it is selling at graphics and not gameplay is because people are complaining more about the aesthetics of the game, rather than the gameplay and mechanics. With one of the reasons for that being that they are afraid that changing the state of the game, especially at a big scale like that, could come with unprecedented flaws that the fans might dislike. But one obvious reason(and the most likely) is that there aren't enough people like you who's voicing out this idea. Because the game developers are working hard to make the best game for people to play, which would, in turn, make them more money.
