Honestly just play more and you'll get used to it I get it more consistently now by playing more ranked

[@WigglyJigs1]

I wish 3 changes to be made for Sparking Zero: 1) Make super counter cost SOMETHING. Having free combo breakers at any point is not something I enjoy. 2) Make vanish wars increasingly faster the more times you vanish so it becomes harder and it doesn’t take the entire time of the match. 3) Nerf Yajirobe lol

[@Paur]

Imo, vanish countera should take a lot more ki. In bt3 it took a bar, here it takes small chunks of a single bar, which is why they go on forever.

Flying kicks count as an overhead (or should), meaning the cpu didn't block it because it wasn't a high guard but neutral guard. Soo it worked since it doesn't need charging like the low sweep. False alarm unfortunately, it's still a reset

During the super long vanish exchanges there should be an choice to teleport infront to neutral (like moving back while vanishing) . The vanish timing is easy and it just comes down to who has more ki rn

[@AndresLionheart]

I feel like Super Counter ruins the fun... it should only work on strong attacks like vanish does. Maybe rebalance the damage so that the rush hits deal less and the strong hits that are vanishable deal more. There would still be an advantage to using the harder to time Super Counters because it doesn't cost any Ki. Maybe even increase the vanish cost to also shorten the vanish wars. That or incrementally speed the vanish timing and make the timing tighter the longer the chain goes to make it harder to keep it going for long.

Pro tip: if your character has ki canon it leaves you at perfect range to dash, so if you're on the ground you could dash+jump above them+ then dash again immediately to flank your opponent from behind. If tou are in the air you can dash diagonal using ki blast to get their back 🙏

[@WitnessThis1000]

Please speak about the options in the episode game mode as well. A few things holding it back from running smoother is not being able to instantly retry any mission. As soon as a match ends, which a lot of times is random because of certain conditions, you can’t press start to replay and it sends you right into the next cutscene causing you to wait for an opportunity to: - press start. -character select or quit -click on the character -go back to the episode -skip through cut scene -attempt fight again. Some may ask “why you want to retry mission”. Well, sometimes to get the additional content you have to meet certain conditions. Beat an enemy within a given time, don’t take said amount of damage, finish opponent with said super, etc. If I fail at them before matches end then I have to take all those steps to attempt it again.

[@mag51284]

Most fail states have a voice line paired with them, so while not ideal, you can just pause and reset if you know the fail state voice line

[@BushBabyL]

This combo video has been really great for me, thank you! For a future tutorial, would it be possible to show capsule effects with visual references to inputs or stat changes? I know that would be a lot of work, but it significantly helps new players like me who can't refer to moves by name from memory.

[@varoop99]

@@2SunLeeWuKong its unfair anyway. Anyone button smashing from behind in sparking knows a super counter is coming and when you know that you just vanish it. Then a vanish war starts and more likely than not the sparking mode guy will win cuz more ki. At the end he will ulti and it will come down to the opponents skill to possibly vanish it. I'd say not letting the opponent go into sparking mode is important in the current meta.

Great video! Love the way you give detailed insight on these games! Though one thing I'd say is that while practically unreactable, flying kicks are still always guardable, even on hit. The only way to pull this off is if ur opponent spams them, but still not a true combo. The only true combo i've seen is backturned fast charge ki blasts (mind you there's always explosive wave if ur close enough)

[@TheSmokyRoomGaming]

I like to do a short melee combo, back up slightly and spam normal Ki blasts to knock them off guard a little, and go back into a combo maybe even do a vanish attack to reposition for the next attack. Short combos with a small defensive break work better then long combos that can be reversed on you

I would do hard stunned on gutt punch, do light and heavy with the jump kick input, just mix it and continue doing the rush combo after two light attacks into heavy to blast them away into a hard knock down. Do supers. I would not advise the combo further to avoid being super countered. Would not even counter back in Z counters. I would let the opponent blast me away from there z counters. I be freed. That way, idont be into a forever on z counter vanishes. There is a second method instead of doing z countners after vanishing to do a normal rush combo instead of z counters. Required precise timing after vanishing from z counters and hold gaurd between the z counters. Where the player character would reset by blocking
