How To Counter In Sparking Zero

[@aussielad4067]

only issue i have is super counter is so hard to pull off consistently

[@savagerose5449]

Exactly one moment I'm doing em back to back then the next match can't get off any

[@DracoWolf_]

Yeah that timing beats my ass lmao

[@princeksean5047]

​@@DracoWolf_ I feel like the window literally needs to be a single frame more

[@TriggerWarning88]

It's not that hard, it's timing, as the attack lands not before or after.

[@imamakeit5163]

Online best way to practice cuz net code delay kind sucks

[@Judgement_Kazzy]

If you have somebody wailing on your guard like Gogeta at the beginning, you can also go for a Super Perception while blocking to counter it.

[@DracoWolf_]

@@Judgement_Kazzy OH YEAH LOL OOPS. FORGOT ABOUT THAT. FUUCK. LITERALLY MENTIONED IT IN ANOTHER VIDEO

[@itshel2677]

Pretty easy to get a sonic sway from that as well. I'm only going for the up + square when I'm getting back shots.

[@DracoWolf_]

Yeah exactly lol

[@avboyyy2]

@@itshel2677so is there a timing window you look for or are you mashing circle (assuming u play PS5)

[@caravaneerkhed]

@@DracoWolf_ with how many counter options there are it’s easy to forget a specific option especially when you are focusing on learning another skill.

[@MisterInevitable]

As a veteran Tenkaichi 3 player, I was struggling once I got to higher ranks because I didn't learn these simple things. Thanks so much for the videos you've put out.

[@danieldominguez6208]

Super counters are difficult but not impossible. I get them pretty consistently. I recommend that people go to training and put the CPU on melee focused (Super level). The goal is to see when the CPU does supers and try to get them yourself.

[@Galamoth06]

@@danieldominguez6208 I've been doing this since day one of early access and still getting absolutely nowhere. I just don't get what I'm missing. I had an easier time with Promised Consort Radahn than I do getting super counters to work.

[@danieldominguez6208]

@@Galamoth06 I see, try to set the CPU to rush attacks, maybe that will help. This way you have less moves to attempt to time correctly. Best of luck, kind sir.

[@Galamoth06]

@@danieldominguez6208 Thank you, my good man, I'll try that.

[@coolchip3931]

Honestly I could do this easier on CPU rather than online players, generally I’m thinking due to lag and delay

[@jaribomusic9430]

Cell was goated as a villain, homie had no other intentions other than to ruin 🥷 day

[@TheeAzureDragon]

As much as I appreciate the Drip God Goku Black…I gotta give it to Loooord Frieza. I had to think to myself lately Frieza is the guy with so much potential but doesn’t train until hella late. They finally made him a problem in the super manga. Also if you’re a gym bro the pose really gets you hype after a set.

[@Skinsuitdemon]

I hate the back shots 💀 like ur just sit and wait slowly die 💀 and all the counters anoy me some times i randomly do one with out doing it while im just square combo 💀 and loseee 2 points 💀

[@codycry3196]

I've been behind people doing a combo and they still counter it

I appreciate this break down really needed gonna get back to training on my day off

[@ayoretro7482]

Ok big on the Frieza arc as a kid like their Namek battle was insane. Forgot what the full time on it was buttttt im gonna have to go with goku black because he is the only villain that went after Chichi and goten and actually killed them both. Who else did that....

[@MrPerrythep]

Kid Buu... He's the ultimate black Air Force energy 🔋

[@G4Cidib]

Cell hands down. best voice, regal, somewhat-honorable. Cell games WAS a 1v1 for the world after all...

@suntzu7785 tru. His music was on point too. Peak Dbz.

[@asmrguts]

Dub or sub both good jus wondering

[@DenzelAburame8484]

I completely agree with this, considering sparking is so damn fast. I do think the super counter needs to be a frame larger, but its just me cause them taking that defensive mechanic out the game frame BT3 was kinda a bad idea and I wonder why they did.

[@DracoWolf_]

Yeah idk why tbh. It wasn’t like it was a broken mechanic or anything lol. Youre literally sacrificing your own health 😭😭😭 it was weird to be removed

[@DenzelAburame8484]

​@DracoWolf_ idk either maybe cause super counter wasn't used as much in bt3? Lol it was waaay harder in those games

[@Bigpac007]

You can super counter backshot

[@DenzelAburame8484]

@Bigpac007 well yeah but it's still hard to do in general

[@cocoultratrap3583]

​@@DenzelAburame8484 z counter and banish was the only way to stop a combo, wdym it was not used, also in bt3 is easier to do it bc game is slower

[@DracoWolf_]

Thank you for watching fam!! I’m glad I was able to help!

[@endoamai]

My favorite dragon ball Z villain will always be Janemba, the Fusion Reborn movie was the first piece of media I've ever seen growing up as a kid and when I saw Janemba I instantly loved him

[@Midnightno1fan]

Love this video ty so much 🤝

[@oxyyerks9849]

fav villain has to be jenemba and this game is very reaction based everything can be countered guarded reversed with the right button press at exactly the right time and sane could be said for offense and the combos

[@MrM4yhem]

Its been a long time since i have been playing DB Budokai Tenkaichi. So im little bit rusty. This video helped me a lot! Thank you! 💪

[@Enduredtimes]

When you playing story and the AI perfect counters everything for 10 seconds straight.

[@EJSweaty]

the best way to win a game is to look at the ki bar like its the health bar. DO NOT LET THEM GET THEIR KI UP. TO drain their ki without using your own, doing things like super sways using perception auto drain their ki. So playing defensively while maintaining pressure on them to not let them charge and escape you is how you win easy peasy.

[@giratina789able]

Trying to hit a super counter is like trying to hit a black flash

Came across this channel glad I did love the content m8 subscribe for sure

[@DracoWolf_]

@@II_CONcep_II thank you so much!! 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed

[@CaptainProx]

I love Single Battles, but online I wish they would 1) increase the health pools to the max because the matches are done so quick, especially when you’re playing as a high damaging character and 2) make EVERY character play at the same level(except for maybe Mr Satan just for the gag of it). I love playing as Beerus but I feel bad for being so unbelievably over powered compared to guys who just wanna play as guys like Master Roshi😂

[@NeakTheMeak]

That would ruin the entire purpose of characters. They are meant to have power differences. The last thing this game needs is for every character to feel the same.

[@CaptainProx]

@@NeakTheMeak That’s not how it works in Dragon Ball Fighterz, or literally any competitive fighting game ever. And I know this isn’t a “fighting game” but the point still applies. The game was built for DP battles but Single battles need to be different for it to be a fair and viable game mode What would be the point of picking a character like Piccolo or the Ginyu Force when characters like Gogeta, MUI Goku, and Beerus are literally a billion times better Also there would be no difference in character feel as they all pretty much function the same anyways, but at least you can still be your favorite characters and have a chance😂

[@NeakTheMeak]

@@CaptainProx I see what you mean. You do have a point.

@@DracoWolf_ the GOAT REPLIES !

[@Eysoee]

u can also sonic sway while blocking as long as u time it correctly.

[@jetsverse]

I was hoping they brought back the cinematic clashes that happened when u keep vanishing with your opponent

[@DracoWolf_]

OOOOH YESS! That was a good clash

[@SonicClod]

What I’ve noticed that if your blocking a sparking rush spam, you can spam your perception while blocking to activate sway counter. If you don’t have explosive wave and getting get during sparking rush spam, only alternative is counter with R3 or spam up+square. Correct me if I’m wrong please.

[@dylanwolfe4121]

Perfect Cell is my favorite villain ever. Bro posted up waiting for people to run the fade

[@locodesert2]

I’m like looking at competative tips just so I can beat that one mission with jiren where you had to fight four universe seven members with full health bars.

[@Yxng_SY]

After one of your vids I kinda figured out when I should do up square I kinda watched when he threw a punch and I just flicked and pressed up square I just to spam which helped sometimes but the backshots kept happening thanks to your vid I can super counter a lot of my opponents attacks only think I have to stop doing is mashing😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂 W vid tho

Thanks for the breakdown and nice gameplay! The worst thing about this game hands down to me is that the defense system just feels AWFUL compared to the old school. I don't even know why they got ranked in this unbalanced ass game 🤣

7:17 super perception didn’t work on the blast cuz you didn’t have 2 skill points, you need 2 for blast types

[@itshel2677]

If I remember correctly you could press o + x in Budokai Tenkaichi 3 to snap in the direction of your enemy with your guard up. Haven't tried in Sparking Zero yet

[@axelmercedes]

These backshots be going crazy

Man’s is guarding his front while taking backshots

[@kylecooper7722]

Still new and learning. Right at 14:21 what buttons did you press to pull that off?

That’s just one of his supers you gotta hold down L2 or LB to use those attacks plus whatever other combination the menu tells you them

At 11:25 How were you able to turn them around twice? Is it a specific chain rush only SS4 has? Thanks!

First KZbinr to reply super fast earned a like & subbed. Content def enjoyable sus comment on point 😂🎉 thanks!

Helpful, thank you, but it feels a little like winning is less about getting good and more about finding workarounds for messy mechanics. No hate for the game, but a bit of a bummer at times.

[@morgen3369]

"they have a stop animation" no they don't, or if they have then only the NPC does it, because if you press square after a dragon dash you can attack the second the dragon dash is finished man, you can try this out yourself. What you have to do is sidestep as soon as the fast dragon dash has reached you and THEN attack or block.

[@DracoWolf_]

Sidestep? Hmm normally I just kinda drift a little while blocking and it works.

[@jaysonjaime340]

Should do a video on how to deal with perception 😂 cause I swear perception is broken in this game because there’s no tru combo from the front so if yu just hold perception your gonna dodge EVERYTHING forcing the opponent to use the auto combo from the front.

[@DracoWolf_]

You basically kinda gotta bait your opponent because some will actually go up to you and hold it right in front of your face lmao

I can't get super counters to work to save my life. I've spent so much time in training, trying to do it right. Half the videos online say you need to flick the analog stick up each time you do the input, the other half say you can just hold up and keep pressing x/square. Some people say you need to spam it, others say it won't work if you spam it. Nothing I try works though. My success rate is like 5%.
