"Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement, Pre-, & Post-Release Discussion Thread

[Koitsukai]

Since the DLCs will contain attractive characters so people will spend money on them, and not just Kaios or the boring universes from the ToP, what characters do you think would make for a meaty DLC? Rilldo? Bojack's gang? Bardock's crew? Ledjic? or more prominent characters that deserve to be in the base game like the Shadow Dragons or main movie villains and GT characters?
Probably a Daima DLC will exist.
I don't think the fan-favs like Shallot, Cumber, Fuu, Mira, Towa, etc will make it. But who knows.

How many DLCs could this game get? after all, there's a finite amount of characters to add to an already crowded roster, unlike XV2 that had a lackluster roster and it used DLCs as crutches.

I can see a GT DLC with Rildo's crew, Mutchi Motchi, Ledjic, Baby's lesser forms and the funny dragons.
A Z movie DLC with supporting movie characters like Cooler's kikosentai, etc. I'm hoping it won't be like in XV2 taht one DLC had just 2 or 4 characters.

I have pre-ordered this game on Steam, I can't wait to play it.
At this point in time I like what I see in the game.

I hope in the future they add GT to the game, it would be cool to play as GT characters and forms.

[Dbzfan94]

I didn't included them because I thought they were already in the game. I would need to redo my list again.

If it helps, here's a visual reminder of every officially revealed character:


Also, while not pictured here, I do believe a few characters were leaked...

Spoiler:

• Kid Goku
• General Blue
• Chi-Chi
• Saibamen
• Zarbon
• Ultimate Gohan
• Jaco

As well as Gero, SSJ2 Buu Gohan from the demo. And base Armor Trunks + SSJ2 Cell Gohan from cutscenes. As for Chichi, it was her Buu saga self so maybe just a cutscene? I feel like if she was in game it would be her 23rd WT outfit.

For possible DLC packs
-DB- Pilaf Machine, Nam, Eighter, DKP’s children, Kid Krillin, Kid/Teen Chichi
Z- Bardocks crew, movie henchmen, Tapion, Hatchiyack, any remaining movie villain, EOZ Pan, Uub, eoz outfit ls in genreal, Kibitoshin, King Vegeta, Kid Vegeta
GT- GT Goten/Gohan/Trunks, Rildo+ forms, Muutchi, Ledgic, remaining shadow dragons
DBS- some of the other GoDs/angels, rest of U6, Katopesla, Moro/Granola stuff if/when that gets animated
Daima- ???

Apart from the obvious Z Movies, Daima, Hero, GT, More Super, More Z...

OG Dragonball DLC, is a must!

Android 8
Grandpa Gohan
Arale
Vampire guy from baba
Bandages the mummy
Bacterian
Nam
Giran
Buyon
ChiChi
Captain Blue
Murasaki
Taopaipai
Mr.Popo
Kami
King Chappa
King Piccolo
Drum/Tamburine (Some henchman of piccolo)
Spike the Devil man
Red Ribbon Robot
Mutaito
Wolf Man
...
...

Not saying all these should be in, just trying to point out there are a ton of characters from OG Dragonball that could be in

[Rinsankajugin]

Y'all think OG is going to be DLC, huh?

On a side note, we got our first look at the training mode, as well as a ToP alt for Buu Saga Gohan.

Interesting, maybe Ultimate Gohan will be a transformation this time and not a separate character like in bt3

Also, correctly if I'm wrong, but wasn't Lavender the only character Gohan fought in base while wearing the orange gi?..

Oh, WOW! Gonna read this right now! Really interested to see if the controls are my cup of tea! Thanks for sharing this!

[Koitsukai]

I'm interested in UI's moveset, XV2 gave us autododge, SZ must follow up.

I wonder if UI Sign will have good defense and autododge but lame offensive.

Classic Dragon Ball
Missing Z Characters & Missing Super Characters (Yakon, anyone from the Tournament of Power + Gods of Destructions)
GT
Z Movies
Z OVAs (Tarble, Hatchiyack, etc.)
Game Crossovers (Android 21, Shallot, Bonyu, Tiencha, Gokule, etc.)

Two things that I don't think we'll get: Heroes Content and Manga Content

I'd love all the what if forms from Heroes but I guess we always have PC mods

[Trouser]

As every form should be - a transformation, not a different slot. Transformations as different slots are the laziest thing ever. But "hurr durr we have xxx characters, it's the biggest roster ever!".

They do count Transformations as slots even if it's under a character anyways

Transformations count as the game's character number

I do think Transformations should be part of a character though, Ultimate Gohan should've been a Transformation. I think Ultimate Gohan will be a separate character again because they're trying to bring back the nostalgia from Tenkaichi 3

SSJ3 Goku is truly the "Vegeta in Raging Blast/Xenoverse" of this game. Everything else looks awesome but then there's... that. At least Vegeta finally looks just about perfect; at least in base form.

[DarkPrince_92]

I'd throw Yamcha in there too, with his small face and neck. They look terrible. These models are supposedly based of Shintani's designs, but I'm pretty sure he bulked up the characters in their SSJ forms. Usually base form is the more slender form outside of SSG.

Also agree this is probably the best Vegeta looks in base at the very least.

Dabura looks amazing too, he's my favorite look right now. Tenshinhan shirtless is a close second.



The... other King of Demons.

[Nickolaidas]

Dabura looks amazing too, he's my favorite look right now. Tenshinhan shirtless is a close second.

I hate the fact that my two favorite Tien costumes are the ones least shown in Dragon Ball games. His cell arc one and his Buu saga one. I hate his super skin because, even though it's stylish and unique, it looks like something he would wear in a formal occasion, not for combat.

His shirtless one is solid, but kinda overused.

[Koitsukai]

I've been hearing that the game is still under development, so until when do the devs have to fix all the things that could be improved? like necks, SSR Trunks being kinda off, or whatever that could be improved.

The game is out in 3 months, so what would be the last fixable trailer? one month before the release? 2 weeks?
I'm assuming september's trailer will be the final game, with no more touch ups left, yes?

The game can get touched up with DLCs, too.

Also patches, that weren't a thing back in the Tenkaichi days (aside from PC games, ocasionally)

[Xeogran]

I hope they will fix the "Quick Battle Damage" , because from what I'm seeing in videos now, your character gets their clothes torn after a single Super Attack which is far too early. At this point you will barely see the normal undamaged outfit while playing

[superkakarrot2]

Does anyone think there is any chance that when Sonny Strait said he's voicing 3 characters in a Dragon Ball video game that he might have voiced Wild Tiger/ Mo Kekko and not General Blue for Sparking Zero? Sonny Strait has voiced him in every English dub thing to involve the character. It just makes more sense to me as that character is an actual Z character and it looks fairly unlikely that the original Dragon Ball will be included.

I can tell you right now that it's not Wild Tiger. Sure, Kakarot did give him more material to work with, but he got his ass beat in the actual story, and his inclusion depends on Pan being in the base game, and I'm pretty sure she's going to be Season 1 DLC. You gotta remember, even though they did appear later in DBZ and Super, characters like Master Roshi and Yajirobe only appear on rosters if OG is included, FighterZ being the exception.

Also, Kid Goku was leaked...

Spoiler:

Here he is doing the Oozaru Fist, the shot above Adult Goku.
