Conquer Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero's Quick-Time Challenges
Dragon Ball Sparking Zero is a nostalgic trip for fans of the series, bringing back the high-speed action and extensive character roster that made it a classic nearly two decades ago. A standout feature is the quicktime events (QTEs), known as Impact Actions in the game. These events have fans buzzing with excitement. However, mastering these QTEs can be tricky, as each has its own unique interface and mechanics. If you're looking to dominate in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, understanding these Impact Actions is key. Let's break down each type and how to conquer them.
Understanding Impact Actions
Impact Actions are divided into four types, each with its own QTE minigame. While they add an exciting layer to the gameplay, they can be confusing at first. The training mode provides some guidance, but it doesn't cover everything. Below, we’ll explore each type and offer tips on how to master them.
How to Win Speed Impacts
Speed Impacts occur when you and an opponent use a Dragon Dash simultaneously or when a Rush Super meets a Dragon Dash. It's a two-stage process:
- Stage 1 - Single Strike: A large circle shrinks into a smaller one. Press the prompt to stop it as close to the center as possible. Timing is crucial here.
- Stage 2 - Rapid Strike: Mash the button prompt to either increase damage (if you won Stage 1) or mitigate it (if you lost). Use the Boost Button (RT/R2) wisely to enhance your performance.
How to Win Power Impacts
Power Impacts are triggered by both players performing a Throw at close range. A spiral gauge appears, and the goal is to fill it as much as possible without overloading:
- Hold the button to fill the gauge and release to let it fall. Keep it close to the maximum without crossing the yellow line.
- Practice in training mode to perfect your timing. Use the Boost to extend the gauge length for more control.
How to Win Crash Impacts
Crash Impacts happen when both characters perform a Step simultaneously. It's less common but requires quick reflexes:
- Players are assigned roles as defender or attacker. Press your button prompt first to win exchanges.
- Up to three exchanges can occur, with the best of two winning the overall Crash Impact.
How to Win Blast Impacts
Blast Impacts are triggered by ranged Blast attacks colliding. The goal is to convert energy from the charging gauge:
- Press the prompt to convert energy before the gauge resets. The player with the most energy wins.
- Choose between mashing the button quickly or letting the gauge fill close to maximum before pressing.
