Transcript
00:00Dragon Ball's Sparking Zero is exactly what you make of it. It's a decidedly unbalanced affair,
00:06focused more on fan service than spectacle. With over 180 fighters to choose from, with various
00:11Gokus, Gohans and Vegetas, that would no doubt be a nightmare to develop for competitive viability,
00:17featuring a wide variety of attacks, counters and movement options with which to replicate
00:21the fast-paced martial arts that serve as the foundation of the manga and the anime series.
00:26Achieving success in moment-to-moment exchanges and eventually winning battles revolves around
00:31careful, strategic use of three core mechanics – Ki Charges, Blasts and Skills. All these
00:36mechanics combine to give Dragon Ball Sparking Zero an excellent sense of momentum. Characters
00:41zip around the massive stages, crashing into one another in the blink of an eye to trade
00:45skull-crushing blows. Intentionally prioritising flashy fan service over competitive play,
00:51Dragon Ball Sparking Zero provides the most complete series toybox yet, but with simple
00:56enemy AI and repetitive fighting mechanics, it lacks the depth of its more serious competition.
