just spitting facts. Great video man youre underrated

Everyone has there own opinion of the game so just because you think it sucks and someone else likes it you shouldn’t ignore them. In general the game is actually decent and does better than bt3. However the game does lack a few things that would really make it better. Mainly one and that’s the ability to type in our own messages. It’s meant to be a fighter game and not a story game eather so I was never expecting much from the story. Even bt3 lacked on the story and as well was meant for fighting and not the story. BT3 actually is no longer the goat since for stories it only prompts a message with a narrator nothing like how sparking zero does it.

I agree with everything you said about the game. This is also why majority of the OG players like Hawk wont play Rank. And he was the best bt3 player in North America.

Perfect world scenario would be if they gave us rollback net code with a super counter nerf (lock out on missed attempts so you can’t spam it)

You mentioned a community. Can I have an invite?

You know what, i feel like the double step in problem could be solved if the SECOND step in required meter yknow? The first step in is free, however the second step in costs some Ki and whatever step comes after that costs more. Another note about perception, perception can only block a high and low option if you have ONE SKILL METER. Super Perception is the only way to stop those attacks blindly and i think that in of itself just calls for a skill meter build decrease so that these perceptions are less likely to happen and MANUAL blocking is required.

Great video

Just halfway thru the video, but your points are fire man. Hope most of what you are saying can be implemented into the next patch.

The super counter is easily my least favorite thing about this game it feels so inconsistent to pull off in my personal experience at least

Hearing people criticize Sparking! Zero just because it’s not exactly like Budokai Tenkaichi 3 can be pretty frustrating. No sequel is ever going to be an exact copy of the game before it, and honestly, it shouldn’t be. Changes are part of keeping a series fresh, especially when trying to appeal to both longtime fans and new players. I doubt the developers made changes to alienate fans they probably just wanted to modernize things and make room for new players to jump in. If they left the mechanics exactly the same, it might’ve started to feel repetitive. That said, Sparking! Zero seems to find a good balance between honoring the old games and trying something new. Thanks for taking the time to make this video and share your thoughts-I really respect your perspective It’s always cool to hear feedback from someone who knows the series well.

Amazing video man, its crazy how many "fail safes" tk3 added so the game wouldnt become boring/broken, sz forgot a considerable amount of them... u can almost not feel skill debuffs like ki sickness in this game

My man is spitting facts. This is a great video i can tell you put alot of effort into this

New video is Out Now

Your really breaking down why i havent enjoyed SZ nearly as much as TK3 man. Great video bro!

Hey man . Thank you for this video . I realized that I rely on super counter too much . I’m good at vanishing but I stopped doing it to master SC .

Completely agree

It's hard for me to tell if the first guy was spamming it or not so I'd hate to assume, how can you tell? That barrage was equally timed between punches, it's easy to read and I think that's one of the issues the game has. Another problem is that you got characters whois barrage of attacks are super fast, increasing the frequency you're hit which also makes just timing it easy without having to think, no spamming is necessary for either scenario. But even if he was spamming up + square, I get that's an issue as well. I really hope they do something because last time I was into DB was Raging Blast 1, and I had made tons of friends and had fun with that. We had quarrels at times, that game obviously had cheese due to the way customization was handled, but it took more skill than SZ did even with the BS pieces people used in their tetris loadouts 🤣. I really love SZ, but I stopped playing it two weeks ago. Hopefully they try to balance it, but with how previous DB games were I find it doubtful they'll do it to an acceptable extent. Otherwise guess I just need to find a group of friends to play with again and just have fun.

Super Counter shouldn't be usable on back shots Give that function to Revenge Counters instead. As of right now, there's no reason to use Revenge Counters. It will make protecting your back extremely important, as you either have to eat the full combo or spend gauge to escape it. But that also allows the attack to read the revenge counter and counter it with perception. Super Countering a Super Counter should put both plays in a clash minigame. The third vanish in a chain (P1 Attack, P2 Vanish, P1 Vanish, P2 Vanish) should result in a clash minigame. It feels like every time we get to that point in the vanish war, we're both locked in and there's no way out. Bring back Ki sickness. I think those changes would fix a lot of the current issues. I'd go a bit further, like give Sparking Mode a stacking debuff, make all ultimates unblockable and harder to avoid at a distance. Blockable ultimates are pathetic, I shouldn't be able to just sit there and take like 1% of it's damage. And there's not enough incentive to clash beam attacks. It's far easier to dodge then use your own.

Super counter does not cause vanish wars in fact vanish wars is caused by both players using a high speed movement attack one after another. if you super countered your opponent back instead of doing a high speed evasion, you would have been locked into a counter war where you have the choice to super counter which takes a higher level of skill to keep up that doesn't drain resources and feels more intense and rewarding or use high speed evasion. As soon as both players use a high speed evasion is when you both lock into a vanish war where you can press anything besides the z vanish for most characters anyways. feel most people complain about super counters because they rely too much on high speed evasions for when their opponent super counters them thus leading to a vanish war. As most players who initiate z vanish wars had no intention using this as an advantage of draining your opponents ki but because they found it an easier mechanic to pull off which is high speed evasion. so it's not that super counters suck but the mentality of the players that opt the decision of using high speed evasion when they had no intention of duking out a z vanish war in the first place, making it more of a skill level/ decision making issue of the player.

This game is fun as shit when players have some honor. If that makes sense considering how cheesy players can be

Been the way the connections are online it’s so difficult to time a vanish online. Doing vanishes and super counters offline is so easy compared to online. I do agree about the win my any means possible now that’s wack because I be trying to box lol

6:29 So true. The lack of an actual community is what's making the online so sweaty and awful. Raging Blast had some cheesy mechanics too, like being able to just rise out of your opponents mixups, but I felt like the communities were more tight-knit back then, so they would call you out immediately for tactics like that and word would get around quickly who the problem players were. It was great, and it allowed me to understand the game beyond the surface level cheese.

Sssskill issue

Content creators are the cause of these poor playstyles. Everyone wants to be the next big creator so everyone just plays like a dick to get a high rank and communities optimize the fun out of every game they touch trying to be cool. Fighting games, fps games, all of it. Im not saying making content is bad but the unintended consequence of content creations popularity is the sweaty jobless wannabes sucking the fun out of everything and making winning in a game their life. And every game needing to have a "meta" too. Nobody will just pick a character they like and have fun it all has to be so mf sweaty.

Super counter into vanish wars is so annoying. Cus then you get a bunch of bars, instant spark, then spam ki blasts

do a video on perception next

Predecessor means it came before something, successor means it came after something

I hate perception ppl spam that so much especially if the character has after image strike

Spitting straight FACTS.

In bt3, I remember thinking of combos in my head that could do the most damage. Now, I try the fastest, shortest, and most unpredictable combos only due to super counters.

I really hate the sparking zero vanish wars and how most interactions funnel into one eventually. I wish there were other options to mixup a vanish war, like being able to step back/to the side to dodge, grab out of vanish instead of strike, hold vanish to delay the vanish strike for mixing up your timing but with a small opening that could be punished, etc... Really just a couple of basic actions so my brain doesn't go into metronome mode for tapping a single button until one of us is out of ki. As it is I opt to lose a vanish war immediately if I'm lower ki since the winner gets a free ki charge so I don't want to be left with none when I inevitably get hit anyway, 'lose immediately and intentionally' seems like a bad optimal scenario for the mechanic imho

Yea I agree I’ll be mid combo and they spam super counter and perception and genuinely cannot fight any other way- I fought a guy who just super counters and hold perception all I did was grab and they lost

i could notice that you are bad lol stop complaining abt the game it is nice

damn

what was your level

4 years late but that was clean.

That rocket dude at the end almost HOED you
