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

- Cell Games Gohan should be a little taller.
- They need to do something about the character selection screen and put all transformations in sub slots. This is a mess.

For real, I made a quick mock up via paint and shows how much better it is

I feel like Fusions should be separate (in the character select) even though they're technically part of Goku and Vegeta, or Goten and Trunks

And yeah I know I forgot about SSJ2 Teen Gohan down there lol

The fact that even by doing that we still have 4 Goku in a row, 5 Vegeta in a row, 4 Gohan in a row... bothers me, but yeah it's still better.

I agree.

Can’t wait for this game! Really hope the dlc for orange piccolo and gohan beast are too long of a wait.

Considering Season 1 will have 3 packs of DLC, I feel like DBS Piccolo will be in the first pack (along with Gamma 1, Gamma 2, and maybe DBS Pan), the second pack will have DBS Gohan (along with DBS Goten, DBS Trunks, Fat Gotenks, and Cell Max). The third pack will be entirely Daima characters.

Someone needs to come up with a innovative character select screen. Xeno 2 has also been struggling in this department. They just keep adding the DLC characters to the end of the list. It used to be some what organized by character but now it just completely random. I hope they don't do that with Sparking DLC characters.

I think it only looks weird because they all have the same expression, meanwhile Tenkaichi 3 had this: Goku (Mid) on the left, Goku (early) on the right. If they had different poses I think it'd look better.

This roster screen gives me Storm 4 vibes and if it's like Storm 4, they'll just put all of the DLC characters at the end of the roster.

I feel like a roster selection like Raging Blast 2 or Storm 3 would work better if they put the transformations in submenus

I was always a fan of DBZ3's character select screen, but I understand it would take a hour to scroll through the Sparking roster lol

It's especially interesting since we've seen multiple character renders in promos and even the game's website.




If they're making all these renders, they might as well used them on the character select screen. And speaking of, I've heard the reason the select screen looks the way it does is due to the game originally being single player/online-focused.

Do you think if Spike had originally planned for local multiplayer from the get-go, we'd have a more 'classical'-looking roster?

BT3’s had the perfect character select screen, in my opinion. The one here looks like a mess.

Yeah I could see that happening. Would be two excellent packs.

[Nickolaidas]

It'll be awesome if the PC community makes mods for the character select screen.

Totally agree, we needs artworks.

Fun fact! You guys can actually change the order of Xenoverse 2's roster using the mod installer! It can also be used to...

Spoiler:

...unlock DLC characters and characters that are either not meant to be playable (example: Great Apes, Cell Max, SS Rage Future Trunks) or only playable in a specific mode. (example: Fused Mira, Half-Corrupted Fused Zamasu)

That said, I like to sort my character roster for Xenoverse 2 by order of appearance. So the order goes Saiyan arc -> Freeza arc-> Cell arc -> Boo arc -> Battle of Gods -> Resurrection F -> U6 vs U7 -> Goku Black -> DBFZ -> Tournament of Power -> Heroes -> Broly -> manga stuff -> Super Hero -> GT, then my modded OCs. I also added Oozaru Vegeta, Cell Max, SS Rage Future Trunks, Half-Corrupted Fused Zamasu and Semi-Perfect Cell to my roster. Would you guys prefer this order?

[Dbzfan94]

I just realized something... not only is Ultimate Gohan a separate character from Adult Gohan again, but Perfect Cell is a separate character from the rest of the Cell forms now.

Did not expect them to do that.

Let's be fair, Cell basically dies to go into Perfect Cell form so it actually makes sense why he's a separate form

Ultimate Gohan however, is odd

Ultimate has always been its own thing in BT/RB series. It makes more sense lining up with Ultimate not originally being a transformation. Plus Buu Gohan already has 3 transformation slots which is the max

Not to be a hater, but base Gogeta's intro, taken from the movie, flexing his biceps but not actually flexing anything at all is useless. I doubt they can't animate that little bulging up of the arm for just a couple of frames.
To have a PS2 intro, I rather have no intro at all.

[Nickolaidas]

Burter looks like his head is three times bigger than Ginyu's in the char select screen. XD

Speaking of Intro, I wonder if we'll get an intro upon opening the game and I really want to know what the menus will look like

What stages are people hoping for? I have a fondness for the highway stage based on where Vegeta and 18 fight. Maybe a return of that alien planet stage.

I'm hoping for Beerus' Planet and Glacier
