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

@@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.

[@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.

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.

[@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

[@josephward2484]

Interesting. I wasnt aware i could just hold up instead of tapping it up along with square. This will make things alot easier. Thank you.

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 -.-

Amazing video sir

[@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.

[@anuj4200]

The game mechanics are so sick 🔥🔥

[@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

[@flubbledub5246]

I've heard like 4 different videos tell me I need a unique up input for every super counter attempt, you get my sub for including input display and saving my thumb.

[@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

[@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

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

[@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

[@ElSandwich777]

Guys for real learn the PARRY (B/Circle on opponents activation of Revenge Counter) It costs one bar of Sparking BUT you get a nifty animation, a taunt, free damage and most importantly a Buff when you use it. I been hitting this NONSTOP with people online and it only makes them want to revenge counter you more 😂

[@phasi2182]

that's cool and stuff but how do i stop people from doing that to ME? 😅

[@Spectre_EX1081]

If that's the case you're probably doing it a lot more than you think you are. Try not to do it as often cause more often than not your opponent is expecting it from you. Usually when they do that kind of thing they're keeping there attack sequences short to bait out a revenge counter. When you see them doing that attack then you can try and grab them out of there perception stance or just straight up super them if you have the ki for it ​@@phasi2182

[@shanegalloway9149]

Bro thanks!!! I’ve been trying to mash it and this shit don’t work. Now knowing you can just hold Up is a game-changer.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

Exactly what i was looking for, quick and easy explanation c:

[@shanefamicom3700]

with classic button it’s VERY hard to pull it out because I have to hold circle button to guard so i have to move my thumb to square button and push the L analog up at the same time But it’s easier with standard button because you can hold R1 for guard and still hold L analog up at the same time and then try mash a square to activate super counter

[@Lagustful]

This video was great and exactly what I was looking for.

[@ZaneDidIt]

Naw, you’re actually goated. Subbed

[@bofygaming9672]

Best tips quick

[@nicholascalcina7888]

So i can already stay with the stick up and press only square when I think he’s going to land a punch on me? This is game changing❤

[@mugen4516]

Ironically, i found way more success mashing against slow against characters. By the time they swing, i can actually input a super counter 10 times in between where 1 of them connects. While it's harder for faster characters because they are probably mashing their combo super fast in between my own super counter mashing.

[@sonjon80]

Good to see a scientist in the sky!

[@slinbob8082]

I dont know why but when i try super counter practice pressing up and square togethor rather than holding up fullly works so much better. I dont know why but if im holding up in barely getting any super counters. Pressing both togethor each attempt im getting quite a lot.

[@SlxVsY]

Yo guys what you can also do to super counter is up d pad which is an easier way to super counter up d pad and square
