Summary
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zeroboasts the largest roster of anyDragon Ballgame and one of the most extensive lineups in fighting game history.Though a few key characters are missing at launch, nearly every major fighter across the franchise is included, from the originalDragon Ballall the way up toDragon BallSuper. Despite such a massive roster, most players naturally gravitate solely towards the heavy hitters, like Beerus, Ultra Instinct Goku, or SSJ4 Gogeta, as soon as they fire up the game.
As a result, the weaker characters tend to get overlooked. While these characters might lack power, their movesets and animations were crafted with just as much care. Plus, they can make for some very entertaining battles.For confident players looking for a challenge, these low-tier fighters can be really fun to try out— especially in the online DP Battles.
5Chiaotzu
Arguably The Weakest Z Fighter
Despite his heroic sacrificeduring the Saiyan Saga, where he self-destructed in a desperate attempt to stop Nappa,Chiaotzuhas never quite received the love he deserves in the anime or the manga. While most of his fellow Z Fighters have gone through countless powerups, Chiaotzuhas largely been left behind.
Unfortunately, this lack of growth carries over toSparking! Zero, where he ranks among the weakest characters in the game. While he does have some decent special moves, including one that can paralyze his opponent, his overall damage output is nothing to write home about. To make matters worse, his Ultimate Attack is self-destructive, causing him to die after using it.
4Master Roshi
A Teacher Far Surpassed By His Students
Fans ofDragon Ball ZandSuperwho haven’t seen the originalDragon Ballseries might not realize just how pivotal of a characterMaster Roshiis.As Goku and Krillin’s first real martial arts teacher, he taught them essential techniques,including the iconic Kamehameha.However, after his students grew up and became immensely powerful, Roshi took a step back into a more peaceful life at the Kame House.
InSparking! Zero, Master Roshi’s weak moveset and damage output reflect this. While he has some decent defensive abilities, his attacks do not hit hard at all. Worst of all, he cannot fly, which puts him at a significant disadvantage against most of the game’s roster. That said, he does have the ability to transform into his Max Power form, but the damage boost that provides is still not enough to make him a major threat in battle.
3Videl
Exceptional For A Human, But Still Not Strong Enough
For a human,Videlis undeniably an exceptional fighterinDragon Ball.Despite being the daughter of Mr. Satan, she chose to receive most of her training from Gohan, who eventually became her husband. Under his guidance, she learned to control her Ki and even mastered the ability to fly. Yet regardless of how talented she is, her power level still pales in comparison to almost every other character in the show, especially the non-humans.
InSparking! Zero, Videl is a lot stronger than her father, but that isn’t really saying much. She has a small health bar and deals minimal damage. Despite her surprisingly useful moveset, including an ability that allows her to instantly enter Sparking! mode, she just lacks the raw power to make her a formidable fighter relative to the other characters in the game.
2Saibaman
The Most Explosive Fighter, But Not In A Good Way
While theSaibamenwould pose no real threat to the Z Fighters now,these little green guys were terrifyingback in the Saiyan Saga, even managing to take down Yamcha in one of the most iconic moments inDragon Ballhistory. Despite their menacing past, inSparking! Zero, the Saibaman is more of a novelty pick rather than a serious fighter.
The only upside to this character is his speed; he’s more than fast enough to give inexperienced players a hard time dodging attacks. He also comes with a paralysis ability, but it’s very difficult to land. Easily the worst aspect of this character is his Ultimate Attack, which mirrors the anime by being self-destructive. What’s somewhat humorous about this move is that, if the opponent has a lot of health, it won’t even be strong enough to KO them, making it more of a gimmick than a viable strategy in basically anything other than DP Battles.
1Mr. Satan
The Least Powerful, But Most Fun Character
To absolutely no one’s surprise,the weakest characterinSparking! Zerois none other thanMr. Satan. His lackluster power makes complete sense, as he’s canonically one of the least powerful characters in the series. However, many forget that, for a human, he’s actually a highly capable fighter, but when universe-destroying characters are put around him, he winds up looking (and acting) like a goofball.
InSparking! Zero,Mr. Satan cannot fly, cannot teleport, barely does any damage with his attacks, and is overall as weak as a character can be. His only saving grace is his Ultimate Attack, where Majin Buu makes a surprise entrance and does the dirty work for him. Even then, it does pitiful damage compared to the other Ultimates in the game. If players are looking for a real challenge in combat, Mr. Satan is definitely the character they’ll want to pick.
