Top 10 BEGINNER Tips for Dragon Ball Sparking Zero

[@Urlastnerve]

I did the tutorial but I’ll be damned if I didn’t forget damn near everything I learned as soon as I started story mode.😅 This game is a lot more complicated than I thought.

[@SweetSam12318]

Sameeee 😅

[@MrShiunin]

Yeah this is exactly what happened to me on day one of early access. Went into training to try and learn everything but about thirty minutes after that I forgot damn near everything 😅

[@futureelement924]

Bruh same 😂

[@robertm6590]

Yeah, doing the tutorial tells you what to do. Practice is how it becomes muscle memory because the exact same thing happened even in XenoVerse. Couldn't remember what I just learned lol

[@T03L3G]

I could. Power up, transform, emperor death beam, repeat 😂 average xv strat ​@@robertm6590

Great tips, just wanted to organize them 0:43 Control Type (standard vs classic) 2:12 battle assist mode 3:59 tutorial 5:04 check characters’ controls 6:47 sparking mode 8:01 defense 10:34 side steps 11:15 trying different characters 11:54 mix up options 12:47 max player level

U the goat bruh

[@Lucaribrix]

Just to add on to the sparking tip! If you are in sparking mode you can do something called a charge dash strafe! Hold R2 and X to dash and then keep tapping R1 and your character will start to strafe/zigzag side to side as they are coming forward to their opponent leaving them to guess what you’ll do next

[@ccboy3960]

I saw that online 😂 crazy

[@Lucaribrix]

@@ccboy3960 I didn’t know what was happening when it happened to me. 😂It’s definitely a better alternate solution rather than trying to double tap the X button to the loop around

[@yoku0]

Is this on classic or standard controls?

[@Lucaribrix]

@@yoku0 it can be done on both, but I play on standard. I haven’t tried classic controls yet and this move is a move the tutorial won’t teach/tell you.

[@yaboyykeegs909]

I had this happen to me and thought the dude was just cracked at the game💀

[@KenobiStark1]

Do not neglect the training at the beginning definitely. I had to back out of the Raditz fight just to get the controls down right. This man is absolutely right, TRAIN! TRAIN TRAIN!!

I've been so overwhelmed with how much you can do in Sparking Zero, so this is extremely helpful! Appreciate it 💜.

[@BigCheeZe209]

One tip. If you can't get the ultimate blast off during sparking mode, don't attempt it. If you let Sparking mode fade, you'll have full ki to recharge back into sparking mode rather than having to charge your ki back up AND charge up to sparking mode.

[@ninjabros6282]

Basically let your Sparking Mode be your Ultimate not the Ultimate Itself

[@seleviathan]

I havent played a tenkaichi game in a long ass time i felt so damn stiff not knowing what I was doing. The battle tutorial was greatly needed man GREATLY

[@r..e7045]

Last dragon ball game I played was xenoverse series and raging blast so this definitely was new asf for me😂

[@seleviathan]

@r..e7045 yee i think the one i spent the most time with recently was DragonBall FighterZ which i probably spent the most hours on with a fighting game ever. Id still play it now if the servers werent basically dead enjoyed the hell out of that. They need a Number 2 😂😂

[@oliverclothezoff3361]

The reasoning behind turning off recovery assist is because sometimes you can be in a downed state where you CANNOT be combo'd further. You can use this state to stay down longer and recover with (left,right,back,and recover) to strafe around and get your opponents back or perhaps bait them to shoot a beam that does nothing, then get up and punch em. Its not vital, but i can see uses for it.

[@luigiwiiUU]

if your opponent sees you just laying on the ground you might get OTG grabbed

[@redarrow346playz6]

@@luigiwiiUUYup, it’s the same input as grab but all you need to do is press it right next to a downed opponent.

Right! 😂 I don't give enough of a damn to F up my $80+ controller to win those clashes, I'll take that L every time.

[@kabukiuchiha6020]

You can still do classic and then switch the impact option to button mash

[@q6906]

Pretty sure twist puts in more inputs even without going crazy fast

[@rawrdino7046]

You can do classic and set the clash controls to mash

Tip #11, Play *_Divorced Dad rock Circa mid 2000s_* for a damage boost in ranked!

[@ReganADHD]

As is mentioned in the video, the biggest help by far was the battle training with Piccolo. Went from barely beating Ozaru Vegeta. To being undefeated up to the androids. Been using other characters too for the story. DO THE BATTLE TRAINING!! The tutorial barely covers what you need to know

[@pnd3655]

gonna have a great day today once i come back from work

[@supersaline8290]

Thanks for this tutorial lotus I appreciate it i never played any of the budakai games before so this really helps thank you.

[@iDemoKami]

Good strategy for great ape is to hit L1 and Square during rush attacks to vanish behind him. I did that and won on my first try, also learned that from the tutorial so Lotus is right guys DO THE TUTORIAL lol 😂

[@Lil_Uber]

This video was really helpful, especially you explaining the thing about the semi automatic setting. Made it a lot easier to do counters

[@mainaccountc.braithwaite5340]

For the great ape fight, you need to consistently dodge his blast, move by holding the stick in one direction and pressing X to move away quickly. Sparkling mobile will help you do a lot of damage. also if you do the ultimate of it and time it so he doesn’t block that also does a lot of damage

[@JustCommentingMan]

Also if you go behind him while in sparking mode he gets stuck and you do massive damage

[@gsatch3]

You’re the goat for this. I got the ultimate edition and needed someone with more time to make something like this

[@skalo2485]

Bro you said that intro so quick I couldn't understand a word you said and I had to listen to it three times😂

[@professorsageofthesixpaths7885]

for anybody playing on classic, theres a glitch in the game where if ur playing on classic and ur online opponent is on standard, ur gonna be locked out of ur second super

[@J_Drix]

just picked up the game last night (finally). Went through the entire tutorial section and within minutes, pretty much forgot every offensive/defensive movement that didn't have some sort of resemblance of the older BT games LOL I'm definitely going to be heading back into training with Piccolo again. It's quite a lot to remember

[@HashiramaSells]

Side step also takes a small amount of ki. So if you charge to minimum of your super then side step you wont pull off your super. But Lotus points on what to look out for and train are 100% valid

[@HashiramaSells]

Maybe im vanish sidestepping somehow bc on his it has no ki loss but earlier I noticed my ki bar would go down a small amount around less than a quarter of a bar so something I gotta tech and practice

[@HashiramaSells]

Then i notice hes vanishing behind his cpu w no ki loss either so ima lean towards my initial point being correct.

[@diegol5802]

2:56 - I thought I was losing it because I felt like the game wasn’t taking my button inputs or doing things I did not want and I couldn’t figure out why. Thank you.

[@laneparish2365]

Really appreciate the video. I’m new to BT games and picking up SZ was overwhelming even after doing the tutorials

[@Jaydavamp]

Thank you for this video bro this has helped a lot i played budokai 1,2 and 3 when i was a kid an then a bit of the xenoverse series throughout the years but sparking zero has brought me back to the dbz game series and i am struggling to lock back in so this has helped a lot so thank you again brother!

[@melvinschreyner8178]

Thanks for the tips!!! It has been for me 17 years i play tenkachi and i have te learn it all over again hahah. I fought it was a simple fighting game i guess wrong. Gonna practice allot and i hope we see sparking zero at evo! Its a really good fighting game and it deserve to be there

Finally someone who talks quickly like me! My man! Sub straight up

[@ReverendLamar]

Just got to play today and this game had me in a SEALED box at 1st this video helped with counters immediately bro. Haven't played a DBZ game since Raging Blast

[@psykoj8835]

So, I adjusted the assists to your custom recommendation, and OMG, it improved my fighting so much. I can ZCounter like a champ now.... that guard assist really did screw me up, too 😅

[@kingku1793]

For those who havent played yet, i sugggest standard, theres a bug going around for classic which makes both your super moves 1 input

[@aidensgamingchannel4777]

Bro thank you I kept trying to find someone who would make a video about this

[@michaelpduggan]

Really annoying to me that they don’t make the tutorial part of the game, considering how important it is. Even if it was skippable for those who don’t want, there are so many cool training things they could do, like progressing from Roshi to Kami to King Kai and learning different mechanics. It just drops you into story mode and makes no effort to tell you how important training is. And Raditz isn’t even required to beat, so everyone just gets housed by Vegeta. Good game but awful intro game design.

[@ryantolin8176]

The chains, like xxxy or □□□△, can also change depending on which way you hold your left joystick when pressing y or △. You can send them upwards or into the ground or a side attack. ALSO heard you can deflect ULTIMATES with O or B if you have 3 skill points! Haven’t had a chance to try yet though.

In Sparking mode, the opponent will get knocked down after a 20-hit rush combo, but you can do the rush chains and get more than 20 hits before knockdown. 19 hits and a sweep and then a bunch more hits into rolling hammer, flying kicks, etc.

When it comes to recovery assist I found it better to have it off. Only because it opens up the ability for you to counter follow up supers with high speed movement (R1/R2) consistently instead of being hit during the recovery frames.

Still experimenting on this, but when you have recovery assist on, you might not be able to get out of some nasty combos. Base Broly (super) can use his rush super (unblockable) into itself if you use it in Sparking, and then you can transform into SSJ and do it again for a 3 rush super combo. My friend was finally able to get out of it after turning off assist and timing z-counter.

You actually only hit one button for perception on classic too. Hold your analog stick backwards and hit B or block it will vanish. Not sure why they tell you its Y+B as thats incorrect.
