Bandai Namco’s decision to promoteSparking Zero as an unbalanced fighting game is somewhat controversial, but it makes sense if you think about it. As pointed out byDmottt,Dragon Ball‘s games aren’t about being balanced; they’re all about having fun.
Sparking Zerobeing advertised by the developers as an unbalanced experience is arguably the best news we could’ve gotten since it confirms that the developers are following the roots of the original games, which allowed them to rise to fame.Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi3 is both known and loved for its unbalanced aspects. By taking an example of Yamcha and Brolly, Dmott explains what made the first game so fun.

If your friend is playing Super Brolly, and you’re playing as Yamcha, you better believe you’ll be fighting an uphill battle. As you should, though, because no Dragon Ball fan wants Brolly to feel as strong as Yamcha. If you’re choosing to play as Brolly, you wanna feel like you’re playing as Brolly
Despite the fact that matchups between such characters are completely one-sided, it’s what players have always loved about theDragon Ballseries. Gamers have always enjoyed unbalanced characters in the series as it brings a terrifying sense of power and excitement to the gameplay, which isn’t seen in other fighting titles.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s Including Something That Most Seem to Have Missed, and it’s a Franchise First
Characters such as Super Brolly and Jigen often mirror over-the-top abilities from the manga and the anime, allowing gamers to feel invincible. Power fantasy is one of the core appeals ofDragon Ball games, and it captures the essence of iconic moments where we witness characters breaking their limits.
If you’re beating the game’s most overpowered characters with weak characters, you get a sense of accomplishment that the series actively promotes. You should pick up Street Fighter if you want a balanced experience because that’s not what theDragon Ballseries is known for.
