  1. The video is an introductory guide for beginners on improving gameplay in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, focusing on defensive skills and strategies.
  2. The host, Dear Gamer, emphasizes the importance of mastering defensive abilities such as parrying and countering to enhance both online and AI gameplay.
  3. Players are advised not to focus on selecting a main character initially but to understand and utilize various fighting mechanics and combos.
  4. The guide suggests prioritizing learning how to defend and counter effectively, which includes understanding the use of the guard button and standard dodges.
  5. Standard attacks are straightforward, involving basic button combinations, but defensive skills require careful timing and understanding of different frames for blocking attacks.

Vanishing Attack

  1. Vanishing attacks are versatile moves that allow players to push enemies in various directions. They are executed by pressing square and X simultaneously.
  2. The effectiveness of a vanishing attack depends on the range. At close range, it pushes the enemy away, while at medium range, it teleports the player closer to the enemy for follow-up attacks.
  3. Using vanishing attacks from too far away is not beneficial as it doesn't allow the player to approach the enemy effectively. Medium range is recommended for optimal use.
  4. Maintaining a high spirit gauge is crucial for executing vanishing attacks and combos. Players can charge their spirit gauge by holding R2.
  5. Training mode is essential for mastering vanishing attacks and understanding their mechanics. Players often wonder how to teleport at will, which requires spirit gauge management.
  6. Teleportation is achieved by executing a series of punches followed by pressing R1 and choosing a direction. This move consumes spirit gauge.
  7. The perception button allows players to wait and counterattack when hit by an enemy, providing a strategic advantage in battles.
  8. The text includes a demonstration of fighting against Vegeta, showcasing counter moves and strategies.
  9. Training mode is highlighted as a place to focus on specific attacks and moves to improve gameplay.

  2. Players are advised to maintain their energy levels to ensure they can execute teleportation and other maneuvers effectively. This involves strategic energy management during battles.
  3. The concept of 'perception' is introduced, which involves perfectly guarding against attacks to initiate a perception combo. This technique is highlighted as both cool and effective in battles.
  4. Super training is recommended for players to practice techniques they will encounter online. This training helps players become familiar with various strategies and improve their gameplay.
  5. The text also covers advanced techniques like high-speed evasion, which allows players to teleport behind enemies, and super counters, which are crucial for gaining an advantage in fights.

How To Do Vanishing Attck

  1. The text discusses the importance of mastering Instant Transmission attacks in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, highlighting their effectiveness in combat. These attacks allow players to teleport and maintain their attack combos, especially useful when executed from a distance.
  2. Instant Transmission attacks consume a full gauge and enable players to teleport to enemies, which can be strategically used to either continue combos or throw enemies away, depending on the distance from which they are executed.
  3. The text emphasizes the significance of understanding advanced techniques, particularly in guarding and countering. It suggests that players should focus on learning how to guard effectively and work on advancing counter techniques to improve their gameplay.

Perception

  1. The text discusses the mechanics of using counters in a game, emphasizing the importance of timing. Players need to hold a specific button to execute a counter move when attacked.
  2. If the timing is perfect, the player can perform a visually impressive move that counters the opponent's attack. This requires precise timing to be effective.
  3. The text also mentions that opponents can counter back, so players must be prepared for a counter-counter scenario, making timing and anticipation crucial.
  4. The concept of 'super perception' is introduced, which involves countering an opponent's counter. This advanced technique requires understanding the animation cues to execute successfully.

High Speed Evasion (Teleport Behind Enemies)

  1. High-speed evasion is a crucial skill to master in the game, as it allows players to teleport behind enemies without using any gauge. This technique is essential for gaining a strategic advantage in battles.
  2. The key to executing high-speed evasion effectively is to initiate the move right after the animation starts. Observing the enemy's body glowing white is a visual cue to perform the evasion.
  3. Practicing this technique is recommended, as it enables players to position themselves advantageously behind opponents, setting up for a counterattack and landing free hits.

Super Counter

  1. The Super Counter is a challenging technique to master, requiring precise timing to execute effectively. It involves pressing the up button and the punch button just before or while getting hit to counter an attack.
  2. The technique cannot be performed while being rushed or continuously punched by an opponent. It is most effective when the opponent takes a brief pause between their attacks.
  3. The narrator shares personal experiences, noting that sometimes the input doesn't register correctly, indicating the need for practice and precision.

Step In Sway

  1. The 'step in sway' technique is recommended for its dual benefits: dodging attacks and enabling grabs. It requires precise timing to execute effectively.
  2. Side dodging, which includes 'step in sway,' offers invincibility frames (i-frames) but demands careful execution to avoid vulnerability.
  3. Familiarity with counters and parries is crucial for mastering the game, as these skills enhance overall proficiency and gameplay experience.
  4. The speaker emphasizes the importance of dedicating time to practice these techniques to improve one's play style.
