Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Update Version 2 - All Major Gameplay Changes!

[@mr.gameandwatchfan4243]

How much you wanna bet all the cheesy players are gonna complain cuz what this patch encourages is actually getting good lmao

[@blackwarrior1897]

Let's see who lol

[@ph0to.]

I'm just pissed cause I was never good at the game now I have to be a sweat for no reason

[@GoopOozeAndMore]

Encourages getting good? It enables characters like Broly and Kale to sit away and ki charge because now they don’t need to approach

[@theogking8309]

​@ph0to. Just train a little bit, and you'll be fine.

[@jcpluto4555]

@@ph0to.you don’t have to sweat. Just get some decent fundamentals and you’ll be fine. All these people that have been using crutches and spam are about to get washed by regular players

[@prince_badman]

The changes in Z-counters and Afterimage Strike are exactly as I requested from the survey. Due to heavy ki consumption from vanishes and burst dashes, this patch will make skills like Full Power Charge the new meta.

[@hennytopher]

biased because you're using that VB PFP lmfao

[@joshy_bandss]

@@hennytophertrue but he’s not lyin ki management is the most important thing in this game by far now

[@prince_badman]

@hennytopher biased or not I'm still right, it's now a better skill than instant spark because it costs way less and it's more useful than ever. As for the pfp, I'm always changing every week(last week it was Gogeta Blue) but I don't expect anyone to care.

[@Flamepunk]

I wish there was a way for characters to be individually nerfed, like low dp characters shouldn't have the same nerf as high dp so characters like videl needs it, ya know

[@LaztheLax]

Bro it was always meta to have ki advantage wtf are you guys new to this 😂

[@IamJay02]

The AI is so much better it's unreal lmao. The z counter in this game is actually fun to do now. Me personally I love this update already.

[@Orbital_Tea]

Wait the ai is better? How so?

[@wingedhussar1453]

gameplay got better its like they actualy get hit now

[@IamJay02]

@@Orbital_Tea They recover from knockbacks, they finish their vanishing assault combos, they're able to block after a step in after a full light string just before the full auto combo starts, they actually use their sparking mode instead of switching to a different character immediately after going into sparking, they do real combos, they actually use their ki blasts, I'm able to do beam clashes with AI and they always beat me in a dragon dash clash lol. In general they're just smarter. They give me more of a challenge than the prepatch ai. Granted its still AI but I actually have fun playing against them now. And sometimes they will chain super counters back to back along with vanishing. I'm updating this as I find more stuff lol. They also don't mindlessly attack when you're holding perception.

[@cody1016]

​@@IamJay02 you playing with the cpu on default or?

[@SaigoRyoko-sha]

Okay yea dude, I thought they were better. I was fighting frieza the other day and he was beating my ass lmao. Glad they got seemingly buffed though, way too easy before

[@ApprenticeGaming]

I can’t even lie, having the camera this zoomed actually makes goku look as buff as he should do, goated patch

[@QuaversYT]

One step in the right direction as expected of Spike.

[@Pickle_McHip]

Them devs need rest 🙏

[@QuaversYT]

@ They are getting rest, post launch devs and development devs are most of the time different teams. They’ll start working again for the DLCs.

[@quantumbyte4632]

@@LaztheLax you can change it, it's in the camera settings.

[@neetlikereallyneet9103]

Honestly, the game should've just released like this. It feels like it's missing so many basic quality of life improvements that could've been ironed out with basic playtesting. I love the game a ton, I'm glad it's moving in the right direction, but it's beyond frustrating how games are released almost unfinished nowadays.

[@Psnmymt]

I presume it’s due to them trying to release it the same day as daima, rlly and truly it should’ve released in October 2025

[@neetlikereallyneet9103]

@Psnmymt yeah, i'm not blaming the developers, it was almost definitely rushed out to go with the Daima hype. Though, honestly, Sparking Zero probably generated hype for Daima, and not the other way around.

[@bgksm7201]

This game is just like marvel spiderman 2 If both of these game got delayed , they would be way better ( actually sparking zero still does not have many problems like marvel spider man 2 in launch )

[@iTotalityXyZ]

im just grateful that sparking was at least playable and not bugged to shit like cod

[@Zenbon111]

Yap yap yap, we got it now dont we? Damn 😂

[@CaptainProx]

People who are complaining about slower ultimates were apart of the problem Ultimates shouldn’t be something that you see a million times a game, they’re supposed to be hype and super powerful anytime that it DOES hit because you don’t see it happen so often

[@mistral9950]

Yeah it was something really off to see people spamming ultimate with no ki sickness

[@royox]

@@mistral9950 And there's still not ki sickness

[@Chazmo53]

Waiting for someone to do a video on the new cinematics. Apparently skills got new camera angles? I know that Goku Mid got it, and the air combos got a cinematic angle.

[@simonjon9802]

He did it in the vid lol

[@Chazmo53]

@simonjon9802 I mean he showed a single one. I'm pretty sure I've seen posts that more than just Angry Kamehameha got these changes.

[@ellingtonf1097]

The new camera reminds me of Tenkaichi 3

[@A.Froster]

Instantly got me hooked , i thought "Now this is exactly what it was supposed to be"

[@Noname-ni4vp]

the game just looks so much better the beta is finally over and i also wonder if they added ranked penalties so if the opponent leaves mid match

[@kingpul8934]

always do revenge counters if hit by rush super its free now

[@jadawngriffis3745]

What that's crazy but I like it. It's easy to punish but hard to always predict

[@endoamai]

I hope to see another sparking zero stream soon, I wanna play against you again with these amazing changes!

Dude I've been seeing so many different characters in ranked. I love it! I've only fight maybe 1 super vegito. Thank god for this patch man.

[@brandonsupreme8380]

Its ass bcuc ppl cry too much

[@A.Froster]

Nah , those things were big problems nobody liked. It was actually detrimental to the game. The game still not perfect but at least it's improving

[@coraxe]

It's kinda funny because before the patch Vegetto Blue was considered pretty mid compared to Super Vegetto who was considered top 5 best characters and this time it might be the opposite

[@kcold3277]

???? That was only in casual play. At high levels, it was agreed that Vegito Blue was on par with Super Vegito.

[@rialvita7141]

And about fusion characters, fusing SS4 Gogeta or Fused Zamasu on your own is going to be a nightmare to defeat now, specially if capsules are involved. 😂

[@SageofSixflags]

Good

[@djtwister6997]

I love how SSJ 2 and super perfect cell have the lighting effect now!!!

[@callmegekkouga]

They made the CPU stronger on Super difficulty which is much needed. The CPU didn't feel all that challenging as I was able to beat 1v5 easily before the patch. I just got off after getting cooked by the CPU lmao. I'm actually having fun

[@powerushs3049]

Same!! I got beat by the CPU in the finals of an offline tournament I did to warm up a bit and I was like "damn. I gotta go again cuz this actually felt good!"

that voicecrack at 7:08 was nastyy lool

[@MASTERMAGUKU-]

Im dead

[@NickDaShootah]

The lighting after doing combo extensions looks nice too

[@coltonross215]

The Z Burst dash nerf was unnecessary, and now you can't put pressure on in DP Battles. Makes Androids, Characters with health and ki regen, and Switching more OP now.

[@royox]

They added a new burst dash that consumes way less but puts you in the front of the enemy instead of the back.

[@codydion9812]

Dokkan Battle music spotted!! STR Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken theme woo!!

[@TheStormieKnight]

If the game was like this at launch it wouldn't be dead.

[@wingedhussar1453]

looking better and better,just wish theyd let us have a hub where you can move around and a selection menu tht doesnt move around the camera and not zoom in

[@bigZ90210]

Steedoj please make emote delay and broken skyboxes known. And the ults don't always connect if you knock them up

[@paperchasintyy6099]

Yessirrrr!!! Ran into so many people who were trash and would use certain things to cheese like Afterimage Strike, so I’m happy the devs are finally showing love to the players who actually have skill. Y’all sparking spammers, afterimage spammers, etc all bout to be done lmao.

[@shikanara6042]

I love how they actually caring about the game

[@tiagogestosa6147]

I noticed the buff cost less 1 skill point, except gotenks ta-dah still cost 3 and super gotenks Hi-tension is the only one that costs 3 instead of 2 like the others.

[@soundwave8560]

My favorite change is that the game is getting better

[@AgentOrangeCrush]

The only new addition i absolutely hate is the more ki consumption from Z-Burst. I felt no one was really complaining about that one and thought it felt fine lol

[@royox]

they added a new frontal burst to compensate.

[@infinatemalestrom1014]

My only problem is the Z burst dash change that buffed androids massively because now we don’t have a good way to rush down now against them other than that good update

[@xavierhouston4650]

The update messed up custom battles though. There’s a lot of scenes where you can’t change a character’s pose anymore. Just so someone knows, if they think they’re going crazy.

[@CaptainProx]

I want more options for game modes than just Single battles(trash) and DP battles I’d like a DP battle mode that has 20 or more DP points and I want one that offers more slots

[@thenamelessdemigod]

Really missed mission 100 here wonder if they didn’t add it is because they didn’t have enough time to work on it hopefully it’ll be added

[@stankyo]

The small text at the end of the patch notes turned out to be a bigger issue for me, game is literally unplayable on PC hope they can fix the network issue soon

[@velixenoverse3635]

The game is bugged lol if you play team battle characters will full heal when the timer hits below 60 seconds when you switch to them or transform! great! we went from ranked being nigh unplayable to it being actually unplayable.

If it keeps up like this, we might get an update where we will be able to pick any stage in split screen versus. And can anyone confirm if you no longer lose lock on when you kill one character and another pops up? I believe I've noticed it near the end of the video and I strangely managed to hit an ult immediately after killing one of the opponents characters

[@Riseandshine.10]

Bruh you can actually play all maps on local versus now with this update.

[@basedboyzfl]

8:15 They didnt fix this random auto whiff problem

[@KangV93]

after image strike was perfect for the casual players in rank. Im someone who mained Super Vegito for it and there was a good amount of players that could counter it and beat me even if I spammed it back to back. The 5 sec nerf was perfect but adding auto cancel with perception is OD cuz all ppl do is hold perception all game....

[@NoLimitSquad]

Full Power Charge the new meta

[@Mic.vencer]

The problem with their change aimed at the vanish war shit, it doesn’t solve the fundamental problem. The problem isn’t necessarily that they were too easy to perform conservatively, the problem is that almost every single confrontation ends in a super counter, and then leads into vanishing for 20 seconds, and the one who has more ki wins… the problem is still there, they just put a bandaid on it…

[@owlflame]

I didn’t do the survey because I’m done with this game. But I hope this is all what everyone wanted.

[@kbennett365]

Custom episode should have adjusted some more stuff, one being able to customize stuff for a character's form instead of it being for all 1 character

I just won 5 matches in a row. Finally hit B3. I kept running into spammers. Def can tell a slight difference

I thought so but it’s the button smash input that’s changed.. you have to actually tap the buttons faster.. I was playing vegeta and after the second hit I was pushing him forward and dropping the combo .. I thought his moves change Than I start tapping the button faster and the full combo come out as normal
