Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Ultimate Attacks: How They Stack Up Against Xenoverse 2 (2024)

Every move in Sparking Zero looks like it has actual impact. Xenoverse isn't bad but theres no comparison.

Sparking Zero’s moves just look so beautiful but that Xenoverse Sword of Hope is so unique so it’s mad hard to choose 😅

Not touched on in this video but:
Angry Kamehameha is so f*cking good in Sparking Zero. The fact it goes from blue to yellow because of Goku’s sheer RAGE is just so peak.

The only credit I'll give Xenoverse 2 is that the giant blue explosion at the end of Stardust Breaker is looks really good (even if it's not accurate) and that Sword of Hope being a kind of pseudo-transformation for an ultimate attack is amazing.

I like sparking zero stardust better but I'd prefer if the explosion at the end was blue

I miss the event horizon effect from BT3 whenever a powerful beam hits. There's like this furnace that erupts across the horizon, and it looks really cool

I think from all the supers i've seen i think all of Gogeta's ults looked clean, God Goku, Goku SS angry kame, Broly SS, Krilin, God Vegeta, and 18s

I wonder why they didn’t give Gogeta the full stardust breaker moveset

This is a cool video idea! I am very glad you showcased the Super Kamehameha because I think that's an EXCELLENT example for Sparking! ZERO. SZ having unique animations for the same move being used by different characters/forms is awesome and shows that they've had a long time to work on the game. I think it's a good omen for how the game will turn out!

0:13 good

Sparking Zero simply has better animation/effect than Xenoverse 2
SZ ultimate is a cutscene like FighterZ where both players stop fighting and watch the ultimate play out. Bonus cutscene if the ultimate connected
XV2 ultimate happen in real time. One players in cutscene while other players can do whatever he wants. It's rare to have an ultimate where both players are locked in cutscene
Having more cinematic cutscene in XV2 is asking to get stamina broken. 6 players can fight at the same time, so they can't afford to have better visual than SZ which is 1v1.

that’s what i need people to understand, the game is “live action”. people want cinematic sh*t but majority of the time it’s horrible for gameplay.
Perfect analogy i can put for xenoverse is think of power ranger villains. in the show they let them morph and it takes like 10-20 seconds. If they realize that they can STILL MOVE and just starts beating their ass mid morphing its game over. think of how much free damage you can do in that amount of time on xv2😂😂

"Sa-fear of Destruction" I'm sorry, I'm a bit high up here- *WHAT DID YOU SAY?*

Yo steej. I saw ur vid of the ranked balancing with character cost and i was just wondering. Whats stopping me from picking the base form of all the OP characters then instantly transforming to their OP forms. Do you think theyll have sonething in place to balance that to?

One thing I'm worried from what I seen so far from sparking zero demo gameplays is that the ultimate's damage input where it can reach 20000 above. They need to tone down the damage a little like 16535 at max, just like BT3. It's just my personal nitpicking though

Id love if xenoverse and tenkaichi and kakarot would combine the best thing they created and get the perfect db game, open world, best combat system, customization and story trying to get anime with og soundtrack and not remix.

Sphere of Destruction is WAAAY better in Sparking Zero IMO. The effects in Sparking Zero are insane with the plasma pulsating from it, and the wind swirling around it. The embers flowing past Beerus as he prepares the beam.....Sparking Zero wins easy for me.
Sparking Zero's moves are all better. The only thing Xenoverse does better is Sword of Hope being usable, instead of just a cutscene. But Sword of Hope looks better in Sparking Zero, so...

I’m glad the speed is actually being considered in SZ because you can’t even see some of the ki based moves landing 💀

Even on ps2 the hair physics moved unlike stiff boring xenoverse. Tenkachi has always been the best and with sparking zero its no different. Sparking zero has the clothes moving and tearing again like old times, i could go on and on with, beam clashes, clashes, fusion, transformation, tournament, cell games,5v5,what if, stage destruction, red patora, training, etc but i wont do that.

3:15
Aye steed. I would have to argue with you on Gohan ssj2 super kamehameha because burst rush from ultimate gohan is peak kamehameha from Gohan. It's smaller, more concentrated and even more powerful. "You're through!!"

The Sparking Zero's impact moves are so impressive and beautiful there's nothing more to say about this however i don't like the smoke that emerges after the explosions That's the only thing that bothers me otherwise this game is excellent.

for me the sparking zero version of stardust breaker is too quick it all happens in like a second where xenoverse takes its time and to show how cool it is

I’m playing Kakarot for the first time with all dlc. Only thing I wish for ultimate moves, I wish they had a longer start up animation. More charge up and yelling lol

Sparking Sword of Hope needs more light to it, the sword looks like blue plastic instead of energy but in the end every move in Sparking looks better lets not forget the 8 years gap between the two games

I hope they fix all the buu's charging animations to the bt3 type with steam

Xenoverse 2 is Amazing, Tenkaichi 4 might top it in many ways but it doesn't take anything away from Xenoverse 2 and what it is.
People love the shiny new thing and sh*tting on anything else.
You can enjoy both.

The phrase your looking for is "In Real time." Not live action

Super kameha looks super now

Sparking zero’s moves are more flashy and destructive as they should be like it’s from the actual anime, xenoverse moves just look like fan animations now 😭 that’s probably an insult considering that the fans make better supers and transformation than the official product

Other moves I'd love to see you compare: Gogeta's Supers (especially Gogeta Blue) and more of Goku's and Vegeta's moves (Vegeta God has some comparisons to be made),

The issue with Xenoverse is that there is very little feeling of actual impact for both Ki attacks and normal punches and kicks,
Environmental destruction is also lacking in Xenoverse as things tend to be unbreakable or when they do break they break in whole regardless of the intensity of the attack be it a small spamable ki blast or an ultimate tier attack, There is also the effects each attack produce through impact or simply usage of the attack which quickly disipate and clear with no visual shaking or sound conveying the damage or effect.
Conclusion, Xenoverse 1 and 2 is a fun game to play but visually lacking on all fronts, it's an ugly looking game when you take into consideration that it's an eighth generation console game.

how do you even say xv2 looks good bruh, most of everything compared here from xv2 is ugly asf and does not compare to sparking zero

Honestly the issue with xv2 moves is that the effects and impact are not anywhere in comparison.
ESPECIALLY in pre DLC 13 characters. Most skills before Base Gogeta and Jiren's dlc just feels like it has next to no impact.
Thankfully DLC 13 and Beyond is fixing this. Though its still not comparable to SZ (especially since xv2 has been out for about 8 years and is still reusing 9 year old assets from the previous console gen)

Also you said a slight edge to SZ's dragon fist
Honestly Xv2s doesnt even compare IMO. For one, the move is too damn fast to admire the dragon itself, and the impact is so quick and unceremonious considering that in the anime, the attack lasted SO damn long. SZ's isnt that long, but the dragon looks way better and the flaming aura that appears for the dragon.

The super kamehameha should be compared to FighterZ instead of XV2 because otherwise that’s coughing baby levels of fairness.

Sparking zero looks WAY IMMACULATE than xenoverse especially the soul punisher

Xenoverse will always deserve a place in the heart of the Dragon Ball fandom. DBX3 Will be PEAK!

Wait wtf thats how you combo god of destructions anger????? I never knew that you have to use his ult first then use it 🤦

The gogeta stardust breaker move feels far more accurate in Xenoverse with the full technique from the movie being on display. In sparking it just feels like he’s using an incomplete move imo. Sure the graphics are pretty but xenoverse’s version feels more satisfying.

Xenoverse is fun and all, but y'all are glazing tf out of it 😂

sparking zero movement vs Xenoverse is a huge difference sparking zero charecters looks more fluid than in xenoverse everybody looks stiff almost doll like can't wait to get my hands on sparking Zero.

Trying to compare the two Super Kamehameha's is like trying to compare Taiketsu to Budokai 3 lol

No competition 😂

The only Xenoverse move I like more is the sword of hope

Sparking zero easy win, never played xenoverse 2 and don’t plan to but it looks alright.

Well the fact that xenoverse 2 has the ki blast at the start before the stardust breaker I like that more but I like how the effect and the actual stardust breaker look in sparking zero I just wish they would of made it more like the movie like xenoverse 2

Looking back now. Man so glad I stopped playing xenoverse omg

Ngl only cuz it basically gives you a new moveset, I think I prefer Xenoverse Hope Slash, but the Sword of Hope in SZ looks better.
If it makes sense, Xenoverse is cooler while SZ is better

i don't care what anyone says, as of right now i believe sparking zero is probably gonna be the best dragon ball game we have had in a long time. i will give credit to the others they were good but this one is league's better. Id be down to fight anyone when it comes out!

Dragon Fist in BT3 looks so much better. The one in Sparking Zero looks extremely stiff.

You Should Do DBZ Kakarot Vs Sparkling Zero

sparking zero is just better than xenoverse in terms of the skills/moves since they didn't do the real time and its cinematic it looks f*cking epic and have impact frames there is ZERO comparison between these 2 games like sparking zero blows xenoverse out of the water

Giving stamina to DBZ characters is so dump. So glad in sparking zero all attacks and counters will use only Kai. And and charge hits want f*ck you stamina up.

The stardust breaker in xenoverse is better executed in my opinion. Sparking 0s just has better animation

My main thing is just that xenoverse looks dated and stuff I dunno xenoverse looks too shiny on the characters and looks kinda like a very late ps3 game to a very early ps4 game (Ik it was) it’s just I like how sparking zero looks a lot more

😂I'm not hearing anyone out. Stardust breaker looks too good in sparking zero. It looks good in xenoverse 2, but i can't bring myself to compare it to the beauty that is stardust breaker in sparking zero

everything about Sparking Zero just feels right. the blast feels more impactful, and the character model being cell shade is a plus

I might be in the minority but I think Sparking Zero looks better across the board.

I know that ultimate tenkaichi was a awful game but I hope they use soundtrack from the game the music was fire like power evolution was a great ost

Obviously the fan boys would choose a next Gen only new game that hasnt even released yet over a 6+ year old game 😐

Blue explosion and flames look better

I think the explosions and smoke looks too cartoony, that takes away from some super attacks

Xenoverse looks better with:
God Punisher
Dragon Fist
Sparking Zero look better with:
Sphere of Destruction
Super Kamehameha
They both look equally good with:
Asspull Slash.

No surprise, Tenkaichi moves actually work online.

why you even comparing these games sparking is gonna put this game in the grave only people that gonna be playing xeno are the poeple that cant afford next gen

Why is it actually compared to Xenoverse
2?

Xeno is so ass. It don’t matter one good hit bye bye to your stamina. You can be the god of distraction. But get hit one time by a charged hit. And bye bye stamina.

Sz is going to be slobbered to the max for that soul punisher and it’s sad 💀. Xenoverse’s clears, Sz is so stiff compared to it. The only thing it owns is the impact lmfao

Like sparking zero stardust more

Thank god i was getting tired of xenoverse tbh

Don't you ever compare sparking zero to xenotrash again. thanks

xv2 attacks feel like they hurt more. sparking zero attacks just create dust and take away health. they gotta add more impact to characters getting hit

The facial animations in Xenoverse are really terrible...
Sparking Zero wins hands down with all the moves and animations (for me)

Blue flames coming from an energy explosion ain’t natural 😭

You milking tf outta this bruh, istg 💀

To be honest, a lot of Sparking Zero's Super attack direct just seems to be particle effects, and by that I mean like, reliant on them. the fact that every beam ends in a boom when we've only seen blasts do that, and that they seem to really dislike multihits for some reason, kinda turns me off of a lot of moves.
This is gonna sound really controversial, but if XV2 had the same visual design as sparking zero, not even taking animation budget, just pure graphics, a lot of moves would look... better..

This video was not needed bruh😂

tbh, every move on the video looks better in sparking zero. The sphere of destruction has way better effects in sparking zero. I mean, it sounds like im overrating sparking zero attacks but its normal dude, we are comparing 2016 game vs 2024 game, obvisuly sparking zero is going to look better in everything. Anyways, the sword of hope looks kinda better in xenoverse. Sparking zero sword of hope is so simple, while in xenoverse 2 u can notice better the yellow effects of the sword than in sparking.

Xenoverse has always been so ugly in my opinion. Really hoping the art direction has a dramatic change if they do a 3rd one

Xenoverse 2 looks infinitely better than Sparking! Zero.

I can't believe people played Xenoverse, DB fans must've been hella thirsty.
Always thought that game looked absolutely abysmal, a huge step down from what came before.

I just never want to see the xenoverse style again. Ugliest video game models I've ever seen

Xenoverse 2 will die 😁😁😁😁 sparking zero is actively digging its grave d more sparking zero content we get

Smh😢

Trunks ultimate in sparking zero looks awful bro it’s just flat neon blue stick no effect

Sparking Zero looks better and actually feels like there's more impact. But ngl I feel like SZ is overdoing the particle effects. It's just too messy and difficult to follow what's happening on the screen.

why are you comparing this trash ass game to what will probably the best dbz game we had in years

people who say xenoverse looks better than sparking zero need to stop smoking crack 😂

Xenoverse sh*tty game u cant compare sh*tty xeno with amazing Sparking zero

Sparking zero did everything way better than sh*tverse 2

Bro don't say Sparking zero if taking things from xenoverse don't compare it with this trash game😡
