The game doesn't tell you much if you don't check out the extensive training and go straight into battles. So, depending on your platform or controller of choice, keeping a control guide on hand is crucial to learning the ropes and giving yourself a fighting chance in the surprisingly hard campaign.

You can also power up beyond your bar to access super special attacks. Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO isn't your typical fighting game, after all. Most of your moves are done with individual button presses over combinations of buttons and directional buttons. While spamming the attack button might feel like an effective strategy at first, you'll soon find out that enemies will counter your incoming attacks easily. Equally spamming projectiles or super moves isn't a good option either. Depending on your preference, you could make an argument that Standard and Classic are both viable control methods. For me, I prefer Classic as pressing the right stick to use counter doesn't feel right. It also makes me long for custom controls to set up my own way of playing. I also find it better to use a controller when on the PC version of the game, though I must admit having access to skills with the press of a button is pretty cool.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/dragon-ball-sparking-zero-dragon-balls-shenron.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1357629"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/916"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1357629"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1357629\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1357738,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1357629\/revisions\/1357738"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1356796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1357629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1357629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1357629"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1357629"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1357629"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1357629"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1357629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
