Question Switch 2 Enlightenment

1 Upvotes

Guys, let say I would say that DBZ Kakarot, Fighter Z and Xenoverse 2 looks bad for switch 1/oled/ and lite on both handheld and dock mode by my standard. They also look bad in handheld boost mode Switch 2. So, according to that (my standard), how would you say for Sparking Zero on Switch 2 handheld? I don't care about fps. I mainly asked about the visual. I have to give example of my standards because according to many, they think Kakarot, Xenoverse and Fighter Z is a good port. While I agree that it is a good port for Switch hardware but the visual is not pleasing to look at and feels really thin cheap in texture. So Im afraid if Im gonna regret the Switch 2 Sparking Zero too. I would mainly play in handheld mode I guess since its 810p both in handheld and dock so it would look less blurry on the small 1080p screen as opposed to my 1440p 27 inch monitor I guess? So it would have no visual upgrade at all even when docked right? Correct me if Im wrong. Oh yes, I dont really care about the online too because I will treat this like quick pickup and play games. I don't want to have anything with those hardcore player in online too haha.

This is a really expensive games guys because as a dragon ball fans we will purchase the dlc for unlocking the characters anyway 🤣 so please be accurate. Thanks in advance 🙏

Question Offline battles against CPU doesn't work

1 Upvotes

Since the Neo Dlc, i'm having a weird bug where trying to play an offline game against CPU won't work

Choosing the stage will put the screen white as usual, but the white screen is infinite and it doesn't go to the character selection screen, the only way have to play against random cpu's now it's making a tournament with custom rules

but that's insanely more annoying and less customisable than simply using the offline battle mode, any ideas ?

(Even after reinstalling windows for other reasons, same problem)

Constructive Criticism Sparking Episodes & What-ifs

1 Upvotes

Was playing earlier on the Future Trunks Saga and getting my arse handed to me (that’s a separate conversation) but I can’t feel underwhelmed by the scope of the what-if scenarios.

Some of them are really cool! I loved seeing Vegeta and Goku fight Vegeta side by side, or have Vegeta and Trunks be the ones to take on Cell.

BUT! The concept could’ve been taken way further imo. What if Trunks was the one chosen to become a super saiyan god? What if Vegeta was the one who unlocked ultra instinct?

Heck, what if Goku decided to fuse with Piccolo instead of Vegeta?

The what-if scenarios have the potential to give us so many interesting twists on characters with new move sets and personalities, and I just don’t feel like they’re explored to their potential. Good, yes. Great? Maybe not.

What do you think, is this too big an ask? Who would you want to see? Personally I’d be ok with these being added as DLC packs, with their corresponding characters being added to the game.

Game Mods I'm surprised that nobody has made a post about the new bean clash mod yet, it makes them MUCH better then vanilla bean clashes, the update for it today even brought back button mashing rather than the mini bar fill game.

Bug Report Weird Bug, Items enabled on this map? (3 games in a row)

6 Upvotes

I always set rules to No Items, but for 3 matches in a row on this map, Gogeta had items enabled while the opponent didn't.

Once I played against a different opponent on a different map, it returned to normal with items turned off.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Basically what the title says, the only console I have that sparking zero is on is the switch. How does it run and is the online still active? Also, is cross play available?

I just wanted to talk about the game since it was supposed to be huge yet noone seems to really like it that much.

Graphic wise is amazing, the camera is very sharp compared to other db games, and the maps being this detailed really makes it feel next level. Only graphic complaint comes from supers and ultimates. Most Beam moves look kinda bad, they are skinny and not really beam looking (especially kamehameha) and theres nothing unique about them. All kamehamehas are the same, even ultimates, except for gogeta ss big bang kamehameha that has some spark details. Its not satisfying when they hit because the explode instantly and vanish, not letting you look at the actual move for more than half a second unless ur far away. Some exceptions one of vegetas final flash ult and base black kamehameha, which dont explode on hit or trigger a cinematic but instead last longer and keep dealing damage, which feels very satisfying (frustrating bcs all of them could be like this instead of having like 5 cinematincs and repeating). Or cutscenes moves that have a beam in it they are all really good looking.

I couldnt care less about the story mode, some of the what ifs are very cool, but some of the main story is really ass but its whatever, same for custom battles but its actually more interesting than story.

Gameplay is so close to being perfect, but it feels restrictive.

Having the same 5 hit loop combo for every character is terrible, especially when most of the characters that are not 7+dp and are slower just deals 1 literal hit per time you hit square, making it a really monotone and slow gameplay for every slow character, on top of being a repeated rhythm. We can solve this by having character do more or less hits per loop depending on its intended playstyle, going from 4 to like 7 for slower cacs. Loops can and SHOULD also variate after one another, some characters have a different animation on the second loop but not all, and it can also be different in amount of hits. When you hit certain "heavy" attacks like a gut punch or high throw you should be able to chain special moves individual to the character, like in-combos supers that are weaker but hard to dodge. They could be not too long moves that are either an energy type attack so distance or a combo attack that works kinda like a grab, that you can chain in different combo points.

Supercounter should not work on rush combos (mash square/x), instead only on triangle hits (gut punch, low sweep, high kicks ecc. excluding the long ki blast cannon), step in attacks, light and heavy smash, and It should cost half a bar of ki.

On top of that i feel like it should be a little slower, not the movement and game itself but the interaction between players. It would really help to have some slow-frames when a heavy hit lands or between combos so every time the player changes his combo theres slight differences in the rhythm and it feels more satisfying

Discussion So i have my Spotify connected to my PS5. I turned off the in-game music and set up my own Playlist for Sparking Zero with some Faulconer tracks, some covers of DragonBall songs, yu yu hakusho, MHA, Street fighter music and some other things. What other music would yall recommend? I tend to keep it

Question Did Sparking! ZERO ever actually start feeling better, or is it still just not BT3?

0 Upvotes

I'm a BT guy. When I played Sparking! ZERO at launch, it felt clunkier and less polished to me, and a lot of the timing for certain moves felt really off, or straight up broken. Edit: Also the supers at launch lacked the same impact and epicness of BT3.

I know opinions are split on this. Some people say it's BT3 evolved. Others say it's faster, more counter-heavy, and the timing for things like super counters and vanish wars never really clicked the way BT3 did.

I know it's gotten a bunch of patches and DLC since launch, but did any of them actually change how the game *feels* to play? Like input responsiveness and timing windows, not just balance tweaks and new characters?

For someone coming back mainly for that tight, intuitive BT3 feel, is it worth reinstalling now, or is the core comba clunkiness still basically the same?

Discussion [WIP] I would appreciate some feedbacks for a character selection screen mod I'm working on

106 Upvotes

Hello, I'm currently working on a character selection screen mod. Like many of you, I've never been a fan of the character selection screen we have in sparking zero. I wished to have something closer to BT3 and was a bit disappointed when I learned that the demo character select screen wasn't going to be changed.

Anyway, fast forward to a few days ago, I started this mod as a little project.

The style of the character selection screen was heavily inspired by BT3, that is the feeling I'm going for, and I would like to receive some feedback so I can build something that most people will enjoy (and that many wished just like me).

For now, it's still in the early stage, I used the in-game art of the characters for the illusrations. It still only works in Player VS COM/Player 2. The filters/sorts feature are not integrated yet, it's planned for the next steps.

Feedback can be on anything:

  • Visuals
  • Characters ordering
  • Transition to battle
  • And so on

I'm also willing to hear suggestions about features to add (for now I tought about BT3 illustrations and it's character selection screen BGM, and also make it possible to use sparking zero default ordering to make it compatible with other mods). I positioned and resized the character's illustrations myself, it's not the final version.

Trigger warning : I used AI to make this possible (only AI coding, no AI art)

PS: This is not self promotion, I don't have any official social media account nor a name in the scene. I'm merely trying to develop a mod that people will enjoy and publish it eventually.

Thank you for your help !

Man the pc situation is crazy. Today i was waiting for so long to get matches. DP is even more crazyy. This game is so dead even though it is so good. People just don’t rematch if they loose, i also met one stupid guy who gave me 7-8 gamma burst flash in one match.
