DRAGON BALL: FighterZ vs Sparking! Zero - Super Moves Comparison

In this video I compare DBFZ and DBSZ super moves.
Surprisingly, some DBFZ Super Moves look better, but DBSZ wins overall.
Both games are truly visual masterpieces and a treat to watch.

One of the biggest things holding Sparking Zero back from having really awesome ultimates is the size of the beams. In Fighterz, a beam will literally cover the entire screen but Sparking Zero consists of the same size no matter what.

[@davity2002]

also the weird smoke effect, the weirdly shiny shader on the models and the ultimate beam hit effects

[@c01onel]

In Sparking Zero a Masenko is somehow bigger than a Final Flash. Also, most explosions or impacts lack any camera shake compared to FighterZ.

[@giogiorno2]

it's good to see that Sparking Zero isn't just another soulless arena fighter, it looks as good as Budokai Tenkaichi 3 from 17 years ago. Also, 18:00 is a nice feature Arc Sys applied to FighterZ, reminding that insane Z Broly even while it's Super Broly.

Some problems I have with SZ, SFX is mixed really quietly compared to other sounds for some reason, even when you turn up SFX to 100 in-game. Good example is Tien's Neo Tri-Beam, SZ you can't there's like no SFX for when he fires them. Even in Raging Blast 1/2 and BT3 you could clearly hear the firing sound of each Tri-Beam. Compared to FighterZ, SZ's supers sometimes have too much slow motion, and hits and explosions lack impact due to no camera shake. Example, see Yamcha's Wolf Fang Fist. SZ's version is slower hits, random slow motion at the end, and no camera shake at all creates a lack of impact to any of the hits. Also, why are the beams in SZ so thin? Look at Final Flash. I feel like that would be an easy fix.

[@silly_dev1025]

It needs camera shakes yeah

[@link1016]

The best part about fighterz is that they warp the model and have great camera work to make the game look more like the anime. In sparking they don’t do that as much with the most glaring example so far being kefla where one shot at a angle showing off a really flat face

[@gabrielemelucci4155]

17:10 The way Cell looks in sparking zero is literally flawless. There is no way this cell look will EVER be beaten, not even Fighterz comes CLOSE. The only character I feel truly a bit saddened about is kefla, she is a bit too thin.

[@cheezy4902]

SZ just feels like its missing the impact that fighterz has.

I just can’t live FighterZ bro, is the ultimate competitive Dragon ball game 🫶🏻

[@urnannn]

In SZ the face shape is horrible too rounded, and goku’s neck (and in general) is too skinny, he has a wider neck. Bad design.

[@captainnomekop5056]

It’s really not a fair fight to me, because FighterZ has such control over the models and camera angle when animating, they can make it so that every attack looks perfect at all times, physically distorting the characters for some shots to make the actions as clear and impactful as possible. Sparking Zero has a lot of sometimes goofy looking frames that aren’t on screen for long but I notice them way too often, Sparking zero definitely isn’t done poorly, but it can’t compete with ArcSys in terms of animation.

[@HarshitNeog]

Yeah in my opinion the dragon fist animation looks kinda weird in SZ

[@human_pog3893]

The rush attacks in SZ feel really stiff and impactless sometimes. The game looks amazing, but whenever the characters have to move a lot the models fell very stiff, specially in the cutscenes.

[@justsans.]

the main thing fighterz does better in my opinion are the sound effects and beam design. beam design is self explanatory, but the sound effects add extra impact to the attacks. in sparking zero, it feels empty because the voice actors carry the sound for the attacks, rather than the sound of the attack itself.

[@NFiniteCombos]

After making it about a quarter of the way through the whole video, everything ive seen so far leads me to go Fighterz. Visually, sparking had more tools to work with and you can definitely see it. Its so clean and i love everything about it. Tenkaichi is back. What it lacks is soul. That umpf. That feeling of speed and power with certain moves. The cinematics. That increase in decibels. The backgrounds. Theres a lot that fighterz did right. Fighterz doesn't just randomly place rocks to fill out a stage. Yhats a complete recreation of the saiyan saga battlefield between goku and vegeta, and the plains that les up to the canyon. Everything is carefully crafted with intent. It captures the anime so much closer than sparking. This doesnt deter me from sparking, but i definitely cant grade sparking the same as fighterz. In so many words, sparking looks like the anime, but fightsrz looks and feelz like the anime. To be fair, sparking is coming out of the gate with over 100 characters, continuing its tradition of larger roster than before. Sure it will cost more than before due to micros, but ill happily pay it. Tenkaichi was my childhood and its one of yhe few games that captured my attention for 100s of hours between me and my friends. No online, just friends and a good time. The single player mode was always phenomenal.

You're not beating ArcSys when it comes to this style of animation. Sparking Zero looks great, but there's levels to this, and ArcSys is at the top.

[@kingcrimson7014]

Not trying to be picky or anything(i'm loving the game so far) but is it just me or does anyone get a weird feeling too about DBSZ's supers and intros animations? Like its not bad but it feels a little weird like modded characters do.

[@silly_dev1025]

Sparking zeros animations look lack luster but the effects realky help it

[@simeonellinger2064]

Its hit and miss Some stuff is better in either or. I do feel the cinematics might get old with how long they are in SZ. FZ, due to mechanics, lacks some of the cinematic nature for some moves, which is lame sometimes. Trunks and broly seemed mostly better in SZ but man, some stuff is way off in SZ, like most of vegito and gogetas moves.

[@MSCDonkeyKong]

I prefer a lot of the DBFZ animations overall, but I think that Sparking Zero is the better in terms of particle effects, which is also really important in a series like this. I really like how UI or Kaioken's auras have been drawn. Mostly it's just that I prefer how characters talk in the DBFZ artstyle, except for GT Goku, whose level 3 animations in DBFZ had always looked off to me. The glow-up on SS4 Dragon Fist is insane.

[@Speed4Runs]

The animations are better in Sparking Zero, but its meh art style makes the graphics look inferior to FighterZ

[@bazzjedimaster]

I like both and got to give to ZS that is actually competing in equal ground to Fighterz unlike XV1 and 2 which feels it always had to hold back due it's engine, but Fighterz does have the advantage of distilling the attacks to it's most important key frames for the sake of brevity which makes the impact hit more most of the time while ZS gives you way more detail which can be subjectively better but also feel padded out if you like the brevity of Fighterz' supers.

[@Back2Bay6]

FighterZ still looking so clean. Sparking Zero may feel like the more accurate Dragon Ball game, with all the dashing around and z teleporting between combos, but FighterZ still just feels like the better DBZ fighting game. Arena fighters as a genre just don't feel as good to play to me personally.

[@Fran_5]

Sparking absolutely has the better looking and animated specials but I just find the fact that Fighter Z Specials have different utility to be way cooler. Piccolo's specials for example don't quite work so well as a cutscene.

[@Codyslx]

I wouldn't say sparking is better animated but to each their own.

[@c01onel]

​@Codyslx I agree. Look at Yamcha's Wolf Fang Fist. SZ's version is slower and lacks impact due to no camera shake.

[@marinomele4575]

What many don't get is that it's intentional. DBFZ went after the aesthetics of peak-DBZ movies, while Sparking Zero went after Shintani's DBS Broly. Wobbly, unpolished linework, small beams... We've seen this already in DBS Broly. The debate about FZ and SZ proves how divisive Shintani's work was, wich resonated strongly among the fans only because around that time DBS fans were desperate for a graphical update.

[@azuresaiyan9005]

FighterZ looks better but considering Soarking Zero has like 5 times the amount of characters, the fact it looks as good as it does is very impressive.

[@Akura359]

Personally I prefer the open world arena type but FZ has some great cinematics but SZ will forever be the goat

FighterZ is my favorite game. That being said, the ultimates in Sparking Zero are much more cinematic and expressive!

ArcSys put so much love into FighterZ. If you don't know how they animate, they basically take 3D models and adjust it frame by frame as if it was a 2D animation, using smears etc. It's tedious work but just shows how much love and hard work they out into making a faithful DB game. There are also a lot of unique animations that aren't 1 to 1 from the anime, like SSGSS Goku's Dramatic finish with Kefla - with him dodging the initial beams + sliding under one. And this isn't to mention the countless other unique voicelines and interactions with characters everywhere (so many videos of them + hidden ones). Tldr; DBFZ is imo, a beautiful game that still holds up 6 years later visually and imo way better than SZ. And just saying, $10 cheaper on initial release :Caught:
