STOP MASHERS! SUPER COUNTER DEFENSE GUIDE | Dragon Ball Sparking Zero!

[@chankabizarrenetworkdeluxe1984]

I’ve watched a shit ton of sparking guides most of the them are lazy and clearly just wanted day 1 or hype views ur vid is one of the rare vids that actually teach u something super in depth instead of tell u just press this… def adding this to my sparking zero guide playlist so I can rewatch

[@CoolRob97]

Not IGN soaking it all up making basic ass vids like how to transform 🤦

Dude I’m gonna be absolutely real, I have a 10 win streak because of your tips, thank you for this.

Hell ya bro that’s sick to hear! I’m happy to help

[@rajarafe8736]

Yo same, I started beating op ass characters with base goko. Thanks for ur tips man 🙏🏼

[@fluffybunny4891]

if you want, I can reset your streak to 0

[@JapaAppa]

@@fluffybunny4891 I prefer beating up on trash kids over a real fight lol... because in a real fight I end up rematching over and over because I'm getting so close to winning and I end up losing a ton of rank because of it. So my motto now is that I never rematch in ranked.

[@kevinrosenau7048]

The tip that you can hold the stick alone is already a huge gamechanger. Now I just have to focus on one button, which is super helpful when things get hectic. Great video

[@austinbasquestunts1836]

My thoughts exactly, I was like man I’m gonna get stick drift with how much I’m flicking lol ps5 controllers are not durable 😅

[@camilomanrique9816]

Wtf man I never get a super counter when holding up the stick. The only thing it works for me is with both inputs at the same time.

[@kingtezwhite9883]

@@camilomanrique9816me to, holding up doesn’t work

[@xredgreenbluex]

I'm in training mode right now and it never works when I hold up the stick. Getting results only by flicking up the stick and pressing square each time.

[@neighbor_fgc]

Yes that's incorrect u have to press up and square at the same time. The game is just buffers the up a couple frames so it seems like u can hold up but no

[@TheJonas973]

Have seen SO many defensive guides some being like 20+ minute videos and none of them have gone as in detail as this. Thanks for this g, so quick and easy to follow. Take my sub, gonna go check out your other guide vids.

[@MetaTrixx]

Thanks man I appreciate the support 👊

[@sbfantom]

I’ve been trying to work on this but I also now learned when you’re in sparking you essentially have armor against all “regular” hits thanks to this vid.

[@silversteel8998]

Correction you have to reset the stick every time you fail. You can't just hold up the stick and spam once you fail you have to press the stick up again. You can't just hold the step indefinitely

[@Don3Hundo]

Yea holding square is better. Like after the flick hold square. It personally works for me. The real thing is getting the stick flip and square press rythm cause of you mess that up even of you press square in the middle of the window it wont work

[@Don3Hundo]

Great vid. I personally flick up before the string start then hold square. Cause just like you said you can release square in the window you can also hold it so if your a frame or 2 fast itll still catch. Great vid dude

[@cpl2gwot]

These tips have been extremely helpful. Even after clearing all the training and going into practice mode for hours I just wasn’t understanding what to do at all. Then I found your videos and MANNNN it’s been a massive assist.

[@Teddyobot]

Never knew the game could track your button release of square for the super counter as well, that combined with just holding up is next level. Gonna start practicing a new method

[@dat_Rasta]

I was about to test the same flick or hold thing thanks for doing the work for me in a way it cant be denied

[@koifish9388]

The tip about not needing to flick the control stick up is already game changing for me! Thanks for the guide!

one thing not mentioned, you want to block when the enemy's attacks make an ORANGE FLASH. that's the timing window

[@xXS4mCr091Xx]

Yup. When I first learned that bs is back ( Was called Z counter in DB BT3 ) I first thought "I don´t need that shit" guess what?! YOU NEED THIS ONLINE. I really don´t know why it has to be THAT specific tech again. No game had this but SZ and BT3 -.-

[@spaceboy5626]

2 questions: 1) When exactly does the 4 frame window start? Does it start just before the enemy's punch hits you, exactly when it hits, or just after? 2) does the counter activate when square is pressed or when its released? Thank you

[@Lugge1999]

i will try out to hold the stick up instead of tapping it each time with square

[@ISpeedSeven]

the best tutorial in KZbin so far

[@OniWithDaHoodie]

What I’m going to say is hard to understand, but if you listen to the sound of the combos, it's always the same. If you try to super counter on a particular sound, you should be able to pull it off. However, you have to counter right before the sound hits. So, you need to memorize the combo sound in your head, or during fights, listen carefully to the combo sound. By the sound, I mean the "da-da-da-da." You counter right before the third "da" sound hits. It's a very small window, and on top of that, you have to accept the fact that you are going to get hit, so don't panic. Make a sacrifice and counter so you don't take a long combo, which would result in eating a lot of damage. Of course, countering during the first part of the combo is what you want every time, with max beeing the second combo chain.

[@Truthfully_Marvin]

I feel like I got the super counter down but when your opponent vanishes and I try to super counter again that gets me.

[@silive4067]

@@Truthfully_Marvinthat’s the thing when you focus too much on the super counters your opp might vanish and get off a combo. And I like that about the game it makes you realize there’s a counter for everything

[@SonGokuTB]

I also thought of that before, that maybe if I hold up instead of tapping it, that it would amybe work, too, but it doesn't

[@arpadszabo661]

Just came here to get to know if i need to always flick the stick or can i just hold it. Thanks for the video, liked and subbed

[@DMCDevilDante]

Its much better if u flick It. If u hold It u need to reset the hold (⬆️⬆️(hold the second Up) but the timing is a shit. Just flick It at the same time u press square Works too if u do up left or Up right

[@YoshTown]

Finally, someone who explains how to time it. Thanks

[@scythe_official]

This whole time I was so unclear if you had to flick the left stick every time. And now I understand that you don't. This will probably make it so much easier

[@Chrono_flare]

I still am unable to hit even one super counter, does stick drift make it ineffective

[@Ultra_Kuma]

I wish everything in fighting games are explained in “seconds” instead of “frames”, since most people don’t have any idea how many frames are in a second, it’s really hard to gauge. So I just searched it up, 1 second equals to 30 frames, so 4 frames equals to 0.13 second

[@Gameflares]

Bro if u hold up it doesn’t work all the time it must be flicked holding it is extremely situational

[@gigaware2289]

Came back to the vid just to like it because it was so useful

[@Vinoisthename]

i appreciate the help. will try this out

[@durgons749]

@ 3:15 that's actually a mechanic exclusive to Majin Vegeta. In Sparking, he gets armor to tank everything. Pretty nuts and why the character is good. I get how this misinfo slipped through, but it is also kinda wacky, honestly. Because the clip right after is a character in Sparking getting stunned. And also 'cause you play the game, you know they can be slapped around.

[@hacimdoowlla2730]

Hey recently cane across your guide nd found them very helpful. Is there a way you can provide a guide on how to apply pressure effectively. I suck at closing the distance and when i do, i always get punished

[@estebanmaldonado7672]

So nice to see you pop off hard. You've been farmingg you love to see it. I'm glad you still do the more educational vidros as well. Havent finished the video but if someone vanishes your super counter, the counters I can think of are vanish and super counter itself. Would this not go into infinity?

[@estebanmaldonado7672]

Ok after having finished the video, good shit! Being able to hold up is so good to know. Good info on the in block or hit, there are some things you seem to get locked out of when you're in blockstun. But if you have an answer to the question "how to best deal with someone vanishing your super counter" that would be amazing

[@wardenTKD]

not having to flik the controllere stick WOW!, that helped me a lot

[@that34]

Question should you be holding block while doing this?

[@damiasbolling7809]

Holding up then just pressing square isn’t working at all for me, only that works for me is flicking up and square at the same and even then that shi doesn’t work, be pressing that shi like my family life on the line and that shi don’t work😭🙏🏾

[@chrisfrom9547]

im an og budokai Tenkaichi player and ive always had issues with super counters, just felt like i was doing them on accident. Id like to think ive mastered every other mechanic , but with this info i think my power level just increased over 9000

[@ExcooseMwah]

I swear, I've been trying to practice this because the moment I saw the mechanic I immediately knew this one in particular was going to be the difference between a good player and a bad one, but man, that timing is so precise. My current method of practicing is just running cell games on super difficulty and try to avoid using sparking, since there's a health penalty, I feel like it forces me to be more careful and play more defensively without relying on ultimate/sparking abuse given the ai is pretty bad at properly responding to it/its basically cheese, but I just cannot get the timing right and get back shots for days. Still fun game, though I don't know if my method is effective, given you start to see the ais faults even without using sparking, I swear, sometimes it feels random when the ai does a third vanish since it usually only does two, I am genuinely caught off guard when it happens compared to fighting an actual player. It's kinda funny.
