OR hear me out? Let's tell bandai to implement basic rage quit features for ranked instead of relying on the community to be better. (People rage quit in every game)
Yep same. I play singles and with a Keyboard. On character select I hit the random button and hold the start button before I can even see the character it selected. I might have a 40% win rate but my skills are improving a lot using all kinds of different characters facing off against some tough characters. I also try to always rematch too btw
@@Big_Bonfirelol a friend of mine has 71% win rate and he’s got 60 hours, me with 2 only played at his house and I can keep up with him, I did only the tutorial, I think a lot of this community are casuals who play max 2 genres or 35/40/50 year olds who like DB but never played anything more difficult, like I would put this game in the same difficulty tier as Top Spin, in 100 hours you become a god, even mastering Dirt Rally 2.0 with a wheel is more difficult, let alone games like Richard Burns Rally and especially Rocket League and others, where even 1000 hours are nothing, with 3000/4000 hours at GC3/SSL you get good, more or less.
Yo ur a true competitor. A real sportsman. I’ve watched a lot of other sparking zero channels, and they tend to insult their opponents regardless of skill. Ur the first I’ve seen give proper credit to ur rivals, even if they win off of pure luck. Thanks for making the game a better place.
I do my best to give my opponent props even if they’re rage quitters. I will admit I’m quite harsh of their gameplay in this video cuz I’m a lil salty about the rage quitting but overall I try not to say anything overly toxic lol. Most times I’m just confused about their decision making
Thank you! Yes once you get the hang of all the mechanics, a lot of the game is just being able to read your opponent and choosing the better decision. Lots of thinking
I wish there were more Sparking Zero TH-camrs like you. Everyone else has that stupid annoying high-pitched "TH-cam voice" and listening to them just grates on my ears. You have good commentary on your fights and actually talk like a normal person.
I also have to agree. These youtubers playing most fighting games are doing that carbon copy voice and attitude everyone has because it gets views acting wild. The coldly analytical commentary by you demonstrates patience and just how much you understand the mechanics and how to use them effectively. It's nice to see someone playing the game and adapting to the cheese and finding a new meta instead of screaming and crying about being ass at the game.
Thanks for being one of the few high quality educational sparking zero youtubers, its kinda satisfying learning form you. You should do a discord server to make tournaments or fighting rooms
@@Trae_allen nah I hate toxic people lol. If I get frustrated I always keep it directed at the game and not at the opponent… unless the opponent is toxic too ;)
The focused post commentary is so good in this video cuz despite the rage quitters you can tell he still has a lot of passion for the game. Hope the community doesn't drive you away from the game anytime now
To be fair we should blame the developers for this , there should be no reason u still dont rank up. Did they think ppl weren’t gonna rage at a game like this😂😂they should make a quitality type animation if they leave like a saibaman jumps on the person who leaves and explodes and they lay like yamcha😭😭😭
What you said at 4:08 about the skills is so true it's literally like 95% of the player base relying on perception, instant sparking or afterimage strike to win in high ranks if they toned down defense a bit the game would be more interesting
You got yourself a sub here. I enjoy your gameplay, and the willingness to teach. Even as someone who is Top 10 for playing Burter (playing under TheNearlyManNC) your commentary is worth listening to.
@alwuhugaming Believe me, it was a massive grind. 😂 The MUI Goku and Gogeta encounters were funny. Moving on, though, I look forward to seeing you progress. The community for this game needs players like you. 👍
you can bring this game back. the clarity and the mindset you bring is not somethign we see in the community rn. you showed me that i was just coping by saying im too busy to get good at this game. great analysis on habits and you brought lots of good counter play to spam which others are very vague about because they secretly hold the spam close to them as well. you’re a true competitor
This make me appreciate fgc players, even Fighterz has less ragequitters, traditional fighting games have spoiled me with playerbases with principle and enough manners to at least finish the fight if they aren't going to finish the set, anime fans have the most fragile egos I ever seen.
Just from briefly reading the comments while listening to your commentary during the first minute, I immediately liked the video knowing you'd deserve it. Then I realized I followed you on Instagram after reading your youtube handle and looking at you, which left me ABSOLUTELY FLABBERGASTED. Holy shit.
Bro your Content Helped me alot man tysm!! Best sparking Zero Content Creator! One thing just i noticed i think were i can help: when someone breaks your guard and you stand there cant do Nothing -> try like roll your Controller Sticks in a circle rotation and your ki loads up faster and you can get faster out of That „Animation“ - sorry for my Bad english but i think u guys get what i mean
I REALLY enjoy these types of videos. Watching you and learning what you're doing is one thing, but to hear your throught process, having the knowledge that leads you to do certain things explained, it's so much more valuable for someone trying to improve. I never would've realised that the type of perception attack your character has could affect how well they do against Afterimage Strike, which is my biggest hurdle in climbing ranked. Unfortunately I play Single as Super Broly so I can't exactly use that info but I am glad I know it now regardless. That's not to say I dislike the straight-up gameplay, just that these sorts of videos are a lovely treat.
@@alwuhugaming Quick question, when you're countering wild sense and you say to vanish it, which form of vanish? I know you can vanish during your combos by holding block and moving to vanish around your opponent, but there's also just tapping the block button just before you get hit, and there's also vanish strike, when you hit X and A (xbox, standard) at the same time. Just wondering which one you're referring to.
@@JakeIGuessyes do the vanish that you can do to follow up in a combo string. Vanishing the wild sense attack itself is very difficult cuz it’s a very tight frame window. It’s more of a dodge using your vanish than actually vanishing the wild sense. Maybe I should’ve clarified that more. Great question from you
Got it! Also, currently watching the video in bed, the match at around 30 minutes that you theorise your opponent is magicking, it’s worth considering that he picked hyperbolic time chamber in the previous match when he ragequit so it’s probably his PC is just running like ass. There’s two types of lag that plague these anime fighters; connection lag and framerate lag. When your opponent has a bad connection, your inputs are delayed and the match will pause intermittently for like a second or two. But when your opponent has a bad framerate it means they literally cannot run the game at the 60fps minimum and since there’s no frame skipping for them to keep them in pace with your game, it means your game will slow down so their game can keep up. I _think_ the game shows you in the bottom right which type of lag is being experienced. The WiFi symbol is the connection, whereas the bars are the performance. I could be wrong about that, but any time my opponent’s game is running like ass, the bars in the right always turn red.
Great video! You’re a really good player and articulate with your explanations. I’m an S4 just trying to get a little better every day and I feel like this really helped. Thank you!
Your video really changed the way I thought about the game. I stopped playing after the first week because I hated all the counters, and didn’t know a way to play around it. Your explanations are great, and now I want to get back into it!
Takes A LOT of practice, but once you start to deeply understand the mechanics, it’ll make you understand why the game is the way it is and thus makes you less angry at the game!
Yes! Someone who understands that battle tactics plays a HUGE part in taking wins in this game. This is so refreshing to know that there are other players who can actually think and don’t play like sheep😆
24:00 some characters have a long idle animation after using explosive wave like god of destruction toppo that leaves them hanging for a raw super or combo. Dont know why this is but it needs to get fixed
I love the video! I appreciate whenever someone mentions the complexity of fighting games. It's undervalued! Is there a way we could hear just the narrator you without your in game commentary? It's hard to hear what you are saying when they overlap a lot!
7:27 when you get guard broken you can spam buttons to get your ki back. For those who don’t know, you need at least 1 bar of ki to block a rush super. If not, the following occurs. Most of the time they just sit there
Damn I was locked in to this video, buddy you're getting a subscribe. 60%win rate and you made me feel better about the cheese. Like I knew there were ways around it for sure but ouu this nice
Yessir!! Releasing another analysis video in about an hour where I address exactly that. I understand why many quit the game cuz of cheese but there’s ways around it!
Nah see i can't understand why you would pick up sparking zero and you're just gonna quit after a month. 1. Not a true DragonBall fan. 2. They're just not fighting game fan in general.
I played BT3 for years but I can’t get used to the new mechanics. Cool video, I feel like I learned a lot just by watching. If you want a team to run for a video I’ve got two I play a lot: Saibamen, Saibamen, Raditz, Nappa, Vegeta. Freeza Soldier, Freeza Soldier, Dodoria, Zarbon, Freeza.
I use vanishing assault to escape from Brawler Grabs, so like Reccoome, Broly’s, Spopovich, etc. especially if I’m guarding/perceptioning, it’s usually pretty tough to side dodge from guard, despite the grabs being slower but they’re easy to see because of the dark flash around the screen, so it’s an easy ‘vanish’ for me, and oftentimes it’s saved me from a grab into ult ‘combo’. I agree that it’s a poor ability for aggressive attacks, but decent utility for defence. I might start vanish assaulting charged heavies to save skill points.
That’s a good use of vanishing assault! I’m just being harsh on these guys cuz I’m salty about the rage quitting lol. But yeah mashing vanishing assault is bad and people should be using it the way you described. Easy way to vanish out of certain situations
For a media that one of the key biggest thing of the Turtle school is to go through life with a hunger to learn and improve. That means yes. You will *lose*. It is okay to lose. It is through loss one learns because you can see flaws that can be improved. Without defeat, you will end up as Vegeta was; so confident and so far in his own head that he cannot conceptualize there can be improvement.
Finally. Someone who can actually play the game and isn't complaining about cheese strats or the game being unfair -- so on and so on. You clearly put in the work and I commend your gameplay.
Amazing gameplay. When during your 3rd match with the first person you said how they could do so much more with wild sense I realized you used your wild sense after switching in Zarbon, then you finished off their Gohan, grabbed and knocked back Bardock. And when they charged at you your wild sense was triggered but because you knew it was still up you could afford charging a lot of ki there.I started recording my gameplay simply for that reason, to analyze it while not being focused on playing so I can learn to keep an eye out for stuff like that.
I’m the black guy who was raised on Tai Kwon Do then eventually Muay Thai, it’s funny how after you learn advantage frames you can apply these real world fighting methods like “reading” telegraphing, adapting etc and apply to fictional fighters. Thank you for your analysis 🙏🏽
Yeah it’s surprising how much fighting games actually relates to the mind games that can go on in actual fighting haha. Conditioning your opponent and all
Bro I wish they would implement a few basic things, 1st if someone rage quits or loses connection then other player should get points as if it was a win, or even half or 3/4 the points a win would get. Second have a concede match feature so ppl can just end the match if they are getting destroyed and don’t have to play it out further. 3rd if you rage quite X amount of times in a X time period then you can’t que up for ranked for a time period just like rainbow 6 siege and other games, these 3 changes would make a ton of difference
This game needs players like you to keep it alive. Also shows all the people complaining bout cheese need to improve 😅😂 me included. It’s true man characters r very easy to exploit once u change ur perspective on reading what ur player wants to do and countering it
I was thinking this on my drive to work where I as a b3 beat a a2 dude was mui goku and clearly was relying on sparking. I was gohan and used full power to get max ki the whole match & played super agro. Dude couldn’t do shit. But understanding what ur opponent wants to do & countering it is the best strategy .
Exactly people forget that there’s tons of strategy in fighting games. Can’t just do whatever you want to do and can’t just let the opponent do the same
Yep. I feel everyone that played the original knows everything is exploitable. The cheese especially because u know EXACTLY what their strategy is. Made an afterimage spammer message me to stop dodging manually because I wasted his afterimage and kept catching him during the cool down frame .lol
TFW that Roshi player w/ the gold icon definitely has it only because of Afterimage Strike. Pitiful. I only came here for the characters you were using but your analysis is nice too. Great stuff.
You’re my fav sparking zero content creator. Would you mind doing a video on how you combo w the resets? It’s so smooth and you do it without knocking them down
Ive been saying explosive wave and its equivalents like Android Barrier and Tapions Flute are underrated. They are basically super counter but can be used anytime as long as you have the skill points. One thing I learn about explosive wave if timed correct you can stop rush supers once they make contact with the wave they will get hit and knock back. However it is better to dodge or vanish.
I actually made it to Z rank on singles last week, did it without ever rage quitting, about a 72% win rate. Started doing DP battles now. I never realized just how much I still have to learn till I came across this video. Incredible gameplay. I'd love to run into you to really see what gaps I have ahah
@alwuhugaming I'm totally down, I picked it up on both PC and PS5 because I've been wanting to play it with everyone ahah, but I'd love to run some friendly matches
Bro your dedication is next level . Unbelievable that you can have so many games and so many leave . I hope Bandai change the system so leavers get the L .
This is really great! I’m not finished with the video yet, but I’m wondering if you’ve found a way to deal with instant sparking, and in particular those who use strong characters to lock people into eating an ult with ki spam. Y’know like a Z Broly or Max Power Jiren. I’m not sure about Jiren, but I know for a fact that Broly doesn’t get hitstunned out of instant spark with normal ki blasts, and if he gets it off, it’s practically impossible for me to do anything about it.
If I have someone with explosive wave, I’ll use explosive wave when they get close to me and I’ll dash away/up/down. I know some people use revenge counter as well in that situation but I’m unsure of the ins and outs of it. I’ve seen other creators do the revenge counter method though
Love the introspective inbetween fights and tips. Btw have you tried playing with End of Z Goku and Vegeta they are very underrated. Especially End of Z vegeta.
Don’t wait too long like I did 😂 another tip is that if you boost it and just hold it right away you can probably win 100% of the time cuz nobody expects it
This video makes sparking zero seem a lot more fun to me tbh. I usually play fighting games, so to see that sparking zero has a lot of depth and counterplay in it is really cool
DP battles is the true meta. Finally someone is showing up 🙏🏼. Hope i get to face u someday in ranked. I’m always grinding dp it’s sm fun compared to 🧀 singles.
I agree! People hate DP cuz of the switch mechanic but they don’t realize the switch mechanic forces people to be way more aggressive and do more than just peck at eachother. If you don’t do enough damage to me, then imma switch and regen the health haha
Yup people who just tunnel vision on super counters can get punished bad for it. Probably gonna make a separate video for it cuz I played against someone who does the same concept of combos as I do lol. I HAD to vanish him
@@alwuhugaming Staggering it is OP, it just also is so easy to wana rush your inputs and not delay, i guess panic mode. You are a really good player you understand the mindset of your opponent a lot it seems.
66% win rate out of 346 matches, I used to ragequit to get out of B5-4 but when skill actually really mattered I stopped and tried to figure out why I was losing. I feel bad about it, but at-least my match completion rate is still "high". *edit A1 now, beat a Z rank in a casual room. Biggest tip: If you see someone disappear 9/10 odds stop pressing buttons until you see them reappear then immediately use ki blasts or block.
Man, I liked it when they used to auto deduct from people that kept disconnecting from you and automatically gave you a portion of their points as well as shaming them by showing the amount of disconnects.
9:00 this right here! The night before last i was working on super counters, got relatively good at them but probably got into 3x more vanish wars Per fight.
Do you have a video that show how to vanish Gotrunks donuts, Kamesenin storm lightning and broly blast please? Timing is so tight you can literally get stuck in a row
It’s almost every fighting is like this nowadays. People aren’t focused on having fun anymore with games. They are focused on the rank next to their name.
One thing that youve said that i keep saying as well is that there are way too many players who do not know how to use any mechanics besides auto combo + skills. They will literally not engage with the fight unless they have a 100% chance of getting an auto combo off or getting a skill off.
Yeah and the guy shows clearly he knows other things but it’s like damn mix it up I don’t understand. He wouldn’t feel the need to rage quit so often if he just learned that lol
@@alwuhugamingI think it's symptomatic of how overturned some skills are, to the point people end up using it as a crutch even though they don't really need to.
Perfect! I am on PC as well 😁 But I love this video because you perfectly represent how a vast majority of the current SZ player base just don't know how to play the game 🥴
This is funny, but DRAGON BALL COMMUNITY PLEASE. STOP THE LEAVING. IT’S OK TO LOSE. GROW FROM IT.
At the very least if you don’t wanna play against me, just leave before the match officially starts 😭
it’s fucking stupid. they should be penalized
OR hear me out? Let's tell bandai to implement basic rage quit features for ranked instead of relying on the community to be better. (People rage quit in every game)

I might have a 40% win rate but my skills are improving a lot using all kinds of different characters facing off against some tough characters. I also try to always rematch too btw

Nah see i can't understand why you would pick up sparking zero and you're just gonna quit after a month. 1. Not a true DragonBall fan. 2. They're just not fighting game fan in general.
I like how you read your opponents. Like you're analyzing a sparring match.
I played BT3 for years but I can’t get used to the new mechanics. Cool video, I feel like I learned a lot just by watching.
If you want a team to run for a video I’ve got two I play a lot:
Saibamen, Saibamen, Raditz, Nappa, Vegeta.
Freeza Soldier, Freeza Soldier, Dodoria, Zarbon, Freeza.
I use vanishing assault to escape from Brawler Grabs, so like Reccoome, Broly’s, Spopovich, etc. especially if I’m guarding/perceptioning, it’s usually pretty tough to side dodge from guard, despite the grabs being slower but they’re easy to see because of the dark flash around the screen, so it’s an easy ‘vanish’ for me, and oftentimes it’s saved me from a grab into ult ‘combo’. I agree that it’s a poor ability for aggressive attacks, but decent utility for defence. I might start vanish assaulting charged heavies to save skill points.
That’s a good use of vanishing assault! I’m just being harsh on these guys cuz I’m salty about the rage quitting lol. But yeah mashing vanishing assault is bad and people should be using it the way you described. Easy way to vanish out of certain situations
Is this bro who pops his eyes out and wears the frog mask? Absolute legend
Random ass video in my recommended and it turns out to be that frog hat guy on tiktok. Thanks TH-cam
I learned a lot from this video alone the knowledge is crazy 🔥🔥 new subscriber btw
For a media that one of the key biggest thing of the Turtle school is to go through life with a hunger to learn and improve.
That means yes. You will *lose*. It is okay to lose. It is through loss one learns because you can see flaws that can be improved. Without defeat, you will end up as Vegeta was; so confident and so far in his own head that he cannot conceptualize there can be improvement.
Yessir!
u deserve more subs for ur analysis/skil alone
Channel is less than a month old. I’m getting there!!! Growing pretty quick :)
Finally. Someone who can actually play the game and isn't complaining about cheese strats or the game being unfair -- so on and so on. You clearly put in the work and I commend your gameplay.
Amazing gameplay. When during your 3rd match with the first person you said how they could do so much more with wild sense I realized you used your wild sense after switching in Zarbon, then you finished off their Gohan, grabbed and knocked back Bardock. And when they charged at you your wild sense was triggered but because you knew it was still up you could afford charging a lot of ki there.I started recording my gameplay simply for that reason, to analyze it while not being focused on playing so I can learn to keep an eye out for stuff like that.
Suscribed.
Loved the way you explained the game, and your thought processes
I’m the black guy who was raised on Tai Kwon Do then eventually Muay Thai, it’s funny how after you learn advantage frames you can apply these real world fighting methods like “reading” telegraphing, adapting etc and apply to fictional fighters. Thank you for your analysis 🙏🏽
Yeah it’s surprising how much fighting games actually relates to the mind games that can go on in actual fighting haha. Conditioning your opponent and all
It’s funny how his camera just goes completely black after a quit
Can also see all the flashing that goes on during certain cinematic supers/ultis 😂
Love these videos, so in depth.
Thats why i dont like wild sense as much as explosive wave. Love the vid breakdowns bro keep it up
NO WAY YOU ARE THE FROG GUY HOLY SHIT YOU ARE GOOD
THATS WHAT SAYIN BRUHHHH 😆
ok i know u for the frog memes but knowing u play sparking zero i didnt know u were chill like that what a goat
Let's hope they do something about people that rage quit into high ranks soon
Bro I wish they would implement a few basic things, 1st if someone rage quits or loses connection then other player should get points as if it was a win, or even half or 3/4 the points a win would get.
Second have a concede match feature so ppl can just end the match if they are getting destroyed and don’t have to play it out further.
3rd if you rage quite X amount of times in a X time period then you can’t que up for ranked for a time period just like rainbow 6 siege and other games, these 3 changes would make a ton of difference
This game needs players like you to keep it alive. Also shows all the people complaining bout cheese need to improve 😅😂 me included. It’s true man characters r very easy to exploit once u change ur perspective on reading what ur player wants to do and countering it
I was thinking this on my drive to work where I as a b3 beat a a2 dude was mui goku and clearly was relying on sparking. I was gohan and used full power to get max ki the whole match & played super agro. Dude couldn’t do shit. But understanding what ur opponent wants to do & countering it is the best strategy .
Exactly people forget that there’s tons of strategy in fighting games. Can’t just do whatever you want to do and can’t just let the opponent do the same
Yep. I feel everyone that played the original knows everything is exploitable. The cheese especially because u know EXACTLY what their strategy is.
Made an afterimage spammer message me to stop dodging manually because I wasted his afterimage and kept catching him during the cool down frame .lol
great video! please keep uploading
The best sparking zero content
Bro was trying his hardest to escape you with those rage quits😂
These rage quitters learned nothing from Dragon ball.
idk man man, frieza rage quits 3 times and it worked one of those 3 times. 1/3 aint bad
@ryanjohnston9364 he's the bad guy
Recognized u from ur old face memes😂 glad ur making sparking content. Been binging it recently
Glad I found your channel. You're very skilled and chill player and also explains how you play. Was watching Afrosenju but can't stand that guy lol
even after spending time watching other high level people play and doing my own training. This video was like a beacon of light.
Dweeb be studying how to play a game 😂🫵🏽
@Lilsunny216 that's literally the fastest way you can get better in fighting games, goofy 🤡🫵.
@@donnish3326 that’s the most u got going on is getting “good” at a game by studying and training like u in some type of ark huh 😂 dweeb 🫵🏽
@@donnish3326 “tHIs vIDeo wAs a bEAcoN oF LIGht” 😂😂😂😂
@@donnish3326 bro looks up to dude as a hero for teaching him dragon ball sparking techniques 😂😂😂
A real Z rank!? You don’t find these very often! I appreciate the video frfr bro! W energy
Thank you!
Had to switch to single battles, people just leaving and making cheese teams
Open up your opponent? Seems kinda gay to me, I think I’ll just stick to hoping for the best
@@Mistazdobalina we all make sacrifices for success
I learned how to counter after image, and how to expand my combos without throwing them good shit
Nah you cant even climb cause you beat these clowns so hard they rage quit every game you play haha thats crazy
Yeah but to be fair everyone else probably dealing with it too haha
TFW that Roshi player w/ the gold icon definitely has it only because of Afterimage Strike. Pitiful. I only came here for the characters you were using but your analysis is nice too. Great stuff.
You have my respect for reaching that level with Adult Gohan
Adult Gohan super underrated!
You’re my fav sparking zero content creator. Would you mind doing a video on how you combo w the resets? It’s so smooth and you do it without knocking them down
Yes I will be doing a combo breakdown video. It’s actually quite simple
@ heck yeah! Thanks😁
Ive been saying explosive wave and its equivalents like Android Barrier and Tapions Flute are underrated. They are basically super counter but can be used anytime as long as you have the skill points. One thing I learn about explosive wave if timed correct you can stop rush supers once they make contact with the wave they will get hit and knock back. However it is better to dodge or vanish.
Yeah I agree with better to just dodge and vanish but having that extra emergency tool being a barrier is sooo strong
I actually made it to Z rank on singles last week, did it without ever rage quitting, about a 72% win rate. Started doing DP battles now.
I never realized just how much I still have to learn till I came across this video. Incredible gameplay. I'd love to run into you to really see what gaps I have ahah
If you’re on PC we can run some friendly matches one day. Or maybe we’ll bump eachother in ranked ;)
@alwuhugaming I'm totally down, I picked it up on both PC and PS5 because I've been wanting to play it with everyone ahah, but I'd love to run some friendly matches
Bro your dedication is next level . Unbelievable that you can have so many games and so many leave . I hope Bandai change the system so leavers get the L .
This is really great! I’m not finished with the video yet, but I’m wondering if you’ve found a way to deal with instant sparking, and in particular those who use strong characters to lock people into eating an ult with ki spam.
Y’know like a Z Broly or Max Power Jiren. I’m not sure about Jiren, but I know for a fact that Broly doesn’t get hitstunned out of instant spark with normal ki blasts, and if he gets it off, it’s practically impossible for me to do anything about it.
If I have someone with explosive wave, I’ll use explosive wave when they get close to me and I’ll dash away/up/down. I know some people use revenge counter as well in that situation but I’m unsure of the ins and outs of it. I’ve seen other creators do the revenge counter method though
Love the introspective inbetween fights and tips. Btw have you tried playing with End of Z Goku and Vegeta they are very underrated. Especially End of Z vegeta.
I quit playing on my top 30 account cuz it's just the same 20 people everyday ragequitting.. Now I'm having a blast playing whoever in A rank!
Yesterday a SSj4 gogeta rage quit against me using Tapion…
10:37 Greeeeat fucking tip for Grab Clashes. 😂😂 Never even thought of that
Don’t wait too long like I did 😂 another tip is that if you boost it and just hold it right away you can probably win 100% of the time cuz nobody expects it
This video makes sparking zero seem a lot more fun to me tbh. I usually play fighting games, so to see that sparking zero has a lot of depth and counterplay in it is really cool
DP battles is the true meta. Finally someone is showing up 🙏🏼. Hope i get to face u someday in ranked. I’m always grinding dp it’s sm fun compared to 🧀 singles.
I agree! People hate DP cuz of the switch mechanic but they don’t realize the switch mechanic forces people to be way more aggressive and do more than just peck at eachother. If you don’t do enough damage to me, then imma switch and regen the health haha
@@alwuhugamingdude seriously I had so many ppl complain that I'm switching alot...like bro sorry for playing how the game is met to be played
@@CascaEnjoyedItdude ur name
@@ZJrdnZ W
This vid is very educational. W TH-cam algorithm
I like the talk about not just using Supercounter and also using the others, like vanishing. People are way too hung up on SCs
Yup people who just tunnel vision on super counters can get punished bad for it. Probably gonna make a separate video for it cuz I played against someone who does the same concept of combos as I do lol. I HAD to vanish him
@@alwuhugaming Staggering it is OP, it just also is so easy to wana rush your inputs and not delay, i guess panic mode. You are a really good player you understand the mindset of your opponent a lot it seems.
Bro I did not know you were the Jack in a box meme 😂 I love your gameplay channel
66% win rate out of 346 matches, I used to ragequit to get out of B5-4 but when skill actually really mattered I stopped and tried to figure out why I was losing.
I feel bad about it, but at-least my match completion rate is still "high".
*edit A1 now, beat a Z rank in a casual room. Biggest tip: If you see someone disappear 9/10 odds stop pressing buttons until you see them reappear then immediately use ki blasts or block.
This was very helpful subscribed thanks man
Nice, you keep improving, maybe you'll become in a really masterful player that would be like a final boss, even with 3HP / low tier characters
Man, I liked it when they used to auto deduct from people that kept disconnecting from you and automatically gave you a portion of their points as well as shaming them by showing the amount of disconnects.
9:00 this right here! The night before last i was working on super counters, got relatively good at them but probably got into 3x more vanish wars Per fight.
Do you have a video that show how to vanish Gotrunks donuts, Kamesenin storm lightning and broly blast please? Timing is so tight you can literally get stuck in a row
I do not but yeah the timing is very very tight. I’d recommend going into training mode and set the training dummy to those settings to practice
Wow you are so quick at responding, anyway I sub ✌🏽@@alwuhugaming
@@ParadoxReloaded thank you for the sub! Caught me at a good time ;) haha
It’s almost every fighting is like this nowadays. People aren’t focused on having fun anymore with games. They are focused on the rank next to their name.
And here i am, Playing whit Krillin and never leaving a match 😅
Best penalty would be for quitting or connection lost would be double the lost amount
Guys i swear, it's those damn connection errors
Are you planning to setup an controller overlay?
One thing that youve said that i keep saying as well is that there are way too many players who do not know how to use any mechanics besides auto combo + skills. They will literally not engage with the fight unless they have a 100% chance of getting an auto combo off or getting a skill off.
Yeah and the guy shows clearly he knows other things but it’s like damn mix it up I don’t understand. He wouldn’t feel the need to rage quit so often if he just learned that lol
@@alwuhugamingI think it's symptomatic of how overturned some skills are, to the point people end up using it as a crutch even though they don't really need to.
You're the type of opponent I would love to fight online!
If you’re on PC, maybe we’ll cross paths in ranked and have a good fight 😎
Perfect! I am on PC as well 😁 But I love this video because you perfectly represent how a vast majority of the current SZ player base just don't know how to play the game 🥴
I can’t wait for the December patch man. Thee rage quitters are ridiculously, they just need to take the L
I imagine a sizeable chunk of Z S and even A ranks will be forced back down where they belong in low B.
What will happen in the December patch?
We dont know yet but hopefully some good shit
By december i doubt many people are even gonna still be playing lol
@@kexon2 DLC coming in January and the game is still very active
