In Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, going Super Saiyan is one of the most exciting transformations for players. This guide will walk you through how to unlock the power of Super Saiyan, what requirements need to be met, and tips for using transformations effectively. If you’re looking to unleash your inner Saiyan and boost your gameplay, here’s everything you need to know.
Understanding Transformations in Sparking Zero
Transformations in Sparking Zero aren’t just cosmetic; they grant significant power boosts and can change the tide of battle. Characters who can transform include all Saiyans, Frieza, Cooler, and a few others. The game features a variety of transformations such as Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan God, Golden Frieza, and more. However, to transform, players must gather enough Skill Counts during battles.
How to Gather Skill Counts
The first step to transforming into a Super Saiyan is to accumulate Skill Counts, which are essentially transformation points. As you engage in battles, your Skill Count meter (located in the top-left corner of the screen) will fill up based on your actions, such as landing hits, avoiding damage, or performing combos. Each transformation requires a specific number of Skill Counts:
- Super Saiyan typically requires three Skill Counts.
- More advanced forms like Super Saiyan Blue or Super Saiyan God may require higher counts.
Once you’ve acquired the necessary points, a glowing blue icon will appear on the screen, indicating that a transformation is ready to be activated.
Activating the Super Saiyan Transformation
To activate the transformation:
- Press up on the D-Pad (for both Xbox and PlayStation) to bring up the transformation menu. The menu will list all available transformations for your character based on the Skill Counts you’ve accumulated.
- Choose your transformation. Use the appropriate button to select Super Saiyan. For Xbox players, this will involve pressing X, Y, A, or B, while PS5 players will use X, Triangle, Circle, or Square.
- Unleash your Super Saiyan form. Once transformed, your character’s attack and defense stats will increase, and you’ll gain access to new moves and abilities.
Keep in mind that not all characters can transform into Super Saiyan. Only characters who are Saiyans, like Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and Trunks, can achieve this transformation. You can check a character’s transformation capabilities on the character selection screen. There, transformation icons will indicate which forms are available.
Which Characters Can Go Super Saiyan?
Saiyan characters in Sparking Zero can transform into various Super Saiyan forms. Here are some popular options:
- Goku: He can transform into Super Saiyan 1, 2, and 3, and even higher forms like Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue.
- Vegeta: Similar to Goku, Vegeta has Super Saiyan transformations up to Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan.
- Gohan and Trunks: They can transform into Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2.
- Broly: Can go up to Legendary Super Saiyan form.
For non-Saiyan characters, transformations vary. For example, Frieza’s forms range from his second form to his ultimate Golden Frieza transformation, which also requires Skill Counts.
Strategic Tips for Using Super Saiyan
- Time Your Transformation: Avoid transforming too early in the match. Use transformations as a surprise element to turn the tide during critical moments.
- Pair Transformations with Combos: After transforming, chain your newly enhanced attacks into combos for maximum damage output. Super Saiyan forms often grant special moves that can be used in these combos.
- Manage Skill Counts Efficiently: If you aim for multiple transformations, plan your usage of Skill Counts. Sometimes it may be more effective to transform directly into Super Saiyan 2 rather than starting from Super Saiyan 1.
Can You Revert Transformations?
Some transformations can be reverted manually by accessing the transformation menu and switching back to the base form, especially for Saiyan characters. This can be useful when you need to perform certain fusions that require characters in their base forms. However, once a fusion is performed, it remains active for the duration of the battle.
The Advantages of Going Super Saiyan
Going Super Saiyan offers several benefits:
- Stat Increases: Both attack and defense get significant boosts, making your character stronger.
- Access to Unique Abilities: Some Super Saiyan forms provide special moves and ultimate attacks not available in the base form.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Transformations not only boost gameplay but also add to the immersive experience of fighting as a Super Saiyan.
Transforming into a Super Saiyan in Sparking Zero is more than just a visual effect; it’s a game-changing tactic that can give you an edge in battles.
