Z BURST DEFENSE! How To Stop Mashers In Dragon Ball Sparking Zero!

[@Popzin101]

Thanks sir, I was tired of the backshots. Keep doing more defence tutorials like this, much appreciated.

Thank you for the support! You are the first super thanks on the channel!! 🐐

Yeah the best technique in the game is sexual assault. But to be fair it was the best in the series but they realized it was so powerful it would have ruined the show if characters used it

[@papifuego5273]

My bootyhole be getting blended

[@andrewsoundtrack]

I think the best way to react to z burst is just using square + x (vanishing assault) when you see the enemy is about to jump you, you will teleport and punish the burst, like a wild sense that costs a bit of ki instead of skill point

[@DiligentDJ]

Imma try that. Been getting caught too much lmao

[@nonebusiness3577]

Yup this is the best counter to z dash actually

[@Jlopezocasio]

If they’re gonna be aggressive from behind wouldn’t it be useful to move forward/away from them and hit them with ki blasts?

Bro hahhaha

[@JJBCrimsonKnight]

The reason you need a skill points against a Z burst dash attack is because it isn't a rush attack. So you have to Super Perception it.

[@danielkiss7215]

This was actually the first helpful video i saw among all the "how to stop backshots" clickbait-y content. Earned a sub✌🏼

[@solo_cam]

Thank you brother this was needed honestly

[@alexgagnon8298]

4:16 you've got the terms wrong, z-counter is when you vanish and attack from behind, you can do this if timed to the initial hit to dodge it entirely but cant do it at all if getting hit from behind. What you can do to break out of getting hit from behind is super counter, when you time up+triangle to the exact frame or two you get hit then it turns you around and sends your enemy flying. During a sparking burst rush if theyve got your back your best hope is to mash super counter and then your most likely going to start a z-counter chain until one of you messes up the timing or they run you out of ki.

[@Benjamin-uw5xj]

For the super counter you mean up+ square? Its square on modern at least yeah? Also how do you hit it more ? Some people map up to the dpad

[@Shiraion]

As long as you dont panic key word right there.I swear I forgor everything and go autopilot when Im in a battle 😂😂

[@Tampaandrewful]

I’ve been playing fighting games seriously for about 10 years. These kinds of arena fighters I’ve never had the chance to actually put time into a lab and there just seems to be a ton of emergent gameplay. You were able to cut through a lot of the casual BS other KZbinrs have been doing and quickly and concisely get to the point and explain the “why” and “how” of defending against this. I’ve been using z burst dash a lot and once I got to B ranks I’ve encountered some players who were able to perception it and it’s been very confusing as to how- now I know. Tysm

There's another option. You can back up and keep blasting them in the face with ki to stun them. You can also use explosive wave and wild sense on read but that cost 2 skill points every time

[@agu6125]

You can also sidestep it

[@M1A2_Abrams_MBT]

If they go into a rush combo after dashing behind you, and you mistime your step in, block, etc, you can use explosive wave (Vegeta/Trunks has this), or you can bait them using after image strike.

[@MatheusOliveira-zg1lm]

My man these are the best guides i found by far. Congratulations

[@kadodavis8563]

Thank you for this video. I was definitely taking those back shots

[@Lizdra]

Quick tip for people that do not want to spend 1 skill point on their perception doing super perception - You can wait for the perception window that start between 3 to 5 hits so block the first attack and perception the third one.

[@varelasensei]

You can also just side step on reaction to your opponent's z burst dash, it will put you to their side or even behind them and if you're quick enough to react and they aren't, you can get behind them if you aren't already and start a combo. You can also just move back and shoot some ki blasts.

[@dionx75]

Great video! I find myself on both ends of this z burst dash debacle lol. But you gave a good explanation now i can build off it on defense and offense

[@radd7105]

when you z burst dash you can hold square to do a charge attack, if so the opponent has no chance to turn around before being hit. Super ascending and descending are also good ways to dodge it.

[@Motorhothero]

[@boomamirgos]

Honestly bro your actually a great coach

[@th3g00se]

You can also sidestep z-dashes instead of blocking/perception and you'll dodge directly behind them.

[@lonerangersghost7603]

A good way is to do a vanish attack you will teleport behind your opponent so Rush perception and grabs will Be countered.

[@youngOGTelly]

Can you make a video on how to deal with instant transmission? Not only do they teleport behind you but you lose sight of them for a while. My go to option now is using explosive wave or wild sense

Good tips. I'll practice this. I was playing against a friend and that was all he was doing. I was bad at reacting and that's 100% on me but holy fuck it was sooo annoying

[@JoaoDamiao-q1u]

I usualy step back with dash the precise moment they come in the back and try for sonic sway and done repeat

[@305liveandlearn]

I'm a menace with the z rush

[@insomniaconacid9727]

stock is perfect perception

[@Drago935PL]

The skill stock in perception just means that you cant perception normally, you need super perception which costs 1 stock

[@hyperkaioken4982]

Another thing you can do it vanish as they dash towards you and youll get a free counter

[@Sir_Emo]

I actually just dash to the side works very well

[@CoVa923]

Yeah super counters can counter from behind, it's the only way to defend after getting hit from behind (story mode cpus spam this shit), if you're already getting hit then it's not a bad idea to go for it otherwise just trying to prevent getting hit from the back will always be better

[@BlackHanzo]

Thanks for this

[@Weirddudea]

3:22 The reason perception didn't work is because it only counters "Rush Attacks" which are just the basic combo you do from mashing the Square(PS5)/X(Xbox) button. You need at least 1 skill point to activate Super Perception instead which blocks most other forms of attack.

[@MetaTrixx]

He was using zburst dash into basic melee attacks both times. So that sadly doesn’t explain it

[@nick5zone827]

@@MetaTrixxDo Sparking Mode Rush attacks not count as basic Rush Attacks? 🤔Because that make sense as to why you can punch Giants with Sparking active

[@Weirddudea]

@@MetaTrixx That's because while he was using Z-Burst Dash he pressed Square/X and did what the game calls a "Burst Melee Attack", which you can see when Goku Black puts his fists together and swings horizontally. This animation is different per character and isn't countered by normal perception. From there it chains into the regular Rush Attacks which you couldn't perception counter because you were in hitstun from the first attack.

[@robbythedon]

If you do perception or side step I will burst dash into ultimate if i'm sparking and you will get hit every single time or at least backwards dash and ki blast you into a combo UNLESS I see you blocking after dash and if you like to block i'll get the grab if i'm not sparking and if I am sparking I'll perfect time the vanish heavy hit and blow your back out send you flying and then ultimate anyways

[@purplesauce827]

im glad you moved over to sparking zero but how do you know so much about the game already? did you play tenkaichi?

I did not play it actually. I work hard every day to learn the game for videos. I’ve probably only played about 70 matches in total. But I’m always in the lab getting a hang of the important stuff while everyone else is just mashing. Once I learn everything I will surpass a ton of players who didn’t break the game down in the same way
