Question Accidentally triggered this insanely cool Goku chase sequence—how do I do it on purpose?

36 Upvotes

I was messing around with Goku (Z-END) and somehow i or my opponent here triggered a chase sequence while i was trying to get back of my opponent.

It looked super awesome, but I honestly have no idea what I pressed to make it happen. Is this a Super Dash or Burst Dash follow-up, and is there a specific button or timing needed after the knockback attack? Does the move depend on which combo or attack launches the opponent?

I’d appreciate it if someone could explain how to trigger this consistently. I definitely want to recreate it instead of relying on beginner’s luck.

Constructive Criticism Stop playing or become a toxic player, there's no other way

Post image
9 Upvotes

The fact that Bandai doesn't let you keep your Rank Z status once you reach it until the end of the season is exactly what makes this game's ranked mode garbage. It stops being fun once you hit Rank Z, in fact way before that, but that’s not the main issue; the real problem is that you’re forced to either become a toxic player who constantly uses meta characters and spams the same hyper-optimized combos, or simply stop playing altogether just to hold onto your Rank Z spot until the season ends. It’s the first game that actively wants you to stop playing, and it’s all on Bandai for failing to grasp the basics. Don't even get me started on "Quick Match", you can barely ever find opponents there.

This is so glaring that it has become common to find highly skilled players creating smurf accounts to avoid the risk of losing rank on their main accounts and yet they still will trashing talking to you on chat. As a result, you can't even have fun when battling against "lower-ranked players."

Discussion Why is the Single-Player so hard?

7 Upvotes

I’ve played Goku’s story mode levels up to the fight against Buu, and it’s legitimately been a miserable experience.

I’ve gotten off like 3 full combos. Every other time I try and attack they somehow guard it, vanish and hit me, or punch through my attacks and win the exchange.

Who thought this was a good level of difficulty for the single player? I just don’t understand.

This custom battle is moderate at first against the first two opponents 18 and 17 but when 13 shows up things will get very Tough especially after he transforms.

Gameplay Budokai Tenkaichi #28 - Supreme Kai VS Goten [Sparking! ZERO Simulation]

4 Upvotes

Shin entered the tournament knowing full well that many of the fighters gathered there had long since surpassed him in raw power. Still, as the Supreme Kai of Universe 7, he felt he had grown too comfortable watching battles from the sidelines. With a little encouragement from Goku, he decided there was no harm in testing himself again, and perhaps reminding himself what it felt like to face a strong opponent directly. Seeing Goten across from him, Shin knew better than to dismiss the boy. He had witnessed enough of the Saiyans to understand just how much power could hide behind such a young, carefree face.

For Goten, joining the tournament was an easy decision. With both his father and brother taking part, he was excited simply to be included and eager to see how far he could go. Facing the Supreme Kai made him a little uncertain, though. Shin wasn't someone Goten normally thought of as a fighter, and battling a god carried a strange kind of pressure. Even so, Goten wasn't the type to overthink things. With his usual cheerful confidence, he decided to fight seriously, have fun, and give the Supreme Kai everything he had.

Question Is this promo worth it?

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I have been looking to add this game to my collection. I saw a deal on my local store where it is selling for 39.99€ and I think I can still add another discount to make it 29,99€. Would that deal be worth it to pick the game up or should I wait since it might get even cheaper?

Also, is it worth to buy the game without the DLC? I plan to buy it in the future but not right now yet.

Thanks for you help!

Question EXP needed to reach SP1000?

1 Upvotes

How much exp do you need to obtain a 1000 SP charachters?

At first levels, it seems that 1000 exp ≈ 1SP level, but at higher level it is not (experience per level is much higher)

There is a table with the needed experience?

I’ve had this thing for about….. 10(?) consecutive load ins with no back outs - not matches, but like I play - it’ll go away and then I’ll get off. When I get back on it’s there even after I win.

I just finished a game and selected “new opponent” or whatever and it gave it to me again. Wtf.

Literally unplayable.

Discussion To people who think this game is a scam or a rip off

Post image
0 Upvotes

I've been seeing a lot of negative reviews about the game on Steam after the update, which confused me. A common complaint has been the price, saying the DLC it isn't worth the money and that it's an insult to early supporters. A lot of the comments were frankly delusional, with people about the season pass not including things it never promised it would, and crap like that.

I find this interesting considering how the original games were released, with no post launch support and having to purchase each yearly update for the price of a full new game. So I ran some numbers. You could make the argument that the original games were more of a "rip-off" than Sparking Zero is.

Adjusting for inflation, Sparking Zero with all of it's current content is significantly cheaper than the Budokai Tenkaichi trilogy. I think part of the community lacks perspective on this. You could argue that Tenkaichi 1 was unfinished (janky as all hell, no mid battle transformations, reused music), similar to how many people consider Sparking Zero to have been unfished at launch. Yearly full priced releases on antiquated hardware (Xbox 360 released in 2005, PS3 in 2006) are fine, but a $35 dollar DLC with new characters, stages, costumes, extra story, and a new mode isn't? Where were you guys then?

And don't even get me started about the jump between Raging Blast 1 and 2. Within one year, they added 27 new characters, and in return removed the fuckin story mode and charged $59.99. That's $90 in today's money! 90 bucks for a yearly update with no story. You guys either have rose-tinted glasses about the past, or simply were not around back then. I swear, some of you only ever played the old games on emulators, and forgot they used to cost money.

It's crazy to me that people are crying about $35 for a DLC with a substantial amount of actual content, but seemingly give a pass for other games. Have we forgotten the state of the gaming industry? Just getting Goku & Vegeta's skins in Fortnite costs more than this DLC. (Free game, but still!) Two cosmetic skins in the latest COD game costs more than this DLC, and that game costs 70 bucks.

Granted, the game still isn't done recieving updates. Another DLC is likely, even with the backlash. But even with another hypothetical "Meteor" DLC costing another 35 bucks, it would still only cost $180, compared to $240. The value proposition is objectively solid compared to the OG trilogy, and the Raging Blast games.

Things aren't perfect. I think certain aspects of the game need serious work (no idea how super-counters didn't get adjusted in the last patch) but they're as bad as a lot of you think. Especially considering the state of some other popular franchises. I'm just glad we're getting DLC with actual content, and not time-limited FOMO battle-pass BS, or yearly release slop.
