ManyDragon Ball: Sparking Zeroplayers have voiced a demand for more in-depth in-game tutorials, finding the ones currently in the game don’t explain some of the mechanics in great detail.Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerohas officially been released, earning positive reviews from fans and critics alike. Fans ofSparking Zerohave praised the game for its lightning-fast, offense-heavy gameplay.
While many have praisedSparking Zero’s gameplay, there are also a lot of players who have struggled with learning the fundamentals. Many gamers used toBudokai Tenkaichi’s older fighting systems or newcomers looking to experience the new content might just jump straight into the Story Mode. Players have since reported some notable roadblocks in the campaign, like Raditz andGreat Ape Vegeta: Raditz can counter a player’s attacks easily if they charge in blindly, while Great Ape Vegeta has a ton of mechanics that make him a very strong early-game boss.
A discussion on ther/SparkingZero subredditrecommended that players should start with the tutorials inSparking Zero’s Battle Training mode before starting the game’s story mode.Sparking Zero’s battle training modulesgives players a brief rundown of each mechanic in the game, including various timing inputs for attacks and combo chains. Most importantly, there are several counter and recovery options that players will need to learn, otherwise they will be stuck in some of the harder story mode fights. While many users agreed with the sentiment, there were a lot who also agreed that the tutorials are somewhat lacking.
Fans Recommend Doing Sparking Zero’s Battle Training Mode, But It Could Be Better
While there were jokes from users about them immediately forgetting what they learned in the heat of battle, users noted that the game’s opening tutorial doesn’t go into depth about these new mechanics and how it only broadly covers the basics. Even after going into Battle Training, there were some mechanics that weren’t explained clearly enough either. One user voiced how they believed that the tutorials could have done a better job at showing the input commands or showing how they connect. Another user recounted a time they ended up losing a match inSparking Zero’s online multiplayerbecause of the “boost” mechanic, which caused their character to be winded and left them open for attacks.
Some users also pointed out how many of the defensive mechanics weren’t explained clearly enough either, such as how to do a Z-Vanish orhow to deflect beams inSparking Zero. For the time being, users are recommending players to read the many menus and their descriptions if they want to fully understand everything inDragon Ball: Sparking Zero, while asking for Bandai Namco and Spike Chunsoft to patch in more detailed explanations.
