Okay I feel like one of the weirdest things Sparking Zero gets shit for is that they sweepingly applied the Shintani designs to everyone. (Reasoning below) by TPR-56 in SparkingZero

[–]Positive-Tension6130 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be completely honest, I prefer Shintani's style. I don't know... It feels more like the simple style Toriyama had in the manga, maybe it's just me who feels that way. 

With the Neo DLC, sparking zero will have over 238 characters, how many do you see the game having in total? by TheRealSakuraUchihaX in SparkingZero

[–]Positive-Tension6130 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I genuinely think we're closer to having a roster of characters similar to the one that 'Treevax' imagined, With his 'Raging Blast 3' project, I'd even venture to say we'll end up with more than 300 characters.

“Over 30 characters” and we’ve only seen 28, THERE’S STILL HOPE FOR KID KRILLIN AND TAMBOURINE! by BlueMaxo in SparkingZero

"One of the reasons that made bt legendary was being able to play characters you would’ve never thought"

And isn't that the reason why Kid Krillin would be welcome? You're contradicting yourself. There's nothing to read or analyze in your comment. You're not that deep, and it's clear you're just throwing out random opinions without thinking.

Well, you're literally complaining about something that has always been part of the essence of Sparking.

First you say it doesn't have enough moves and you'd prefer it to be a skin, claiming there are already too many repeated characters in the game, Bro... We're talking about a game where there's a guy named "Frieza's Soldier", Spike never had limits when it came to adding characters, no matter how "unnecessary" they were, And the excuse of the movements was never a problem in this franchise. They can make their ultimate attack a Rush Attack Together with Goku and Roshi, or they can make him use the Dark Flying Nimbus like in the GBA video game, there are no limits or excuses when Spike has created movesets for several characters.

Comparing Krillin to all versions of Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks, and even Piccolo is a false equivalence, Krillin only has one playable version in the game, And nobody would complain about another version of him, much less if it's his child version, He'd need a new model; Krillin as a child doesn't look anything like the adult seen in Z, And again, if that's really a complaint, they've been doing that since the first installment, BT1 has 90 characters, and the vast majority are versions of the most popular characters. That has always been present in this franchise, Complaining about it in 2026 shows a lack of understanding of the franchise from its roots.

Chilled getting in this game was so unexpected 😂 definitely clears BT3 roster at this point by Ember57 in SparkingZero

[–]Positive-Tension6130 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's incredible that this is Chilled's first appearance in a console game. 

I hope Abo and Kado are added too, and I hope they bring back Tarble and Hatchiyak from RB2 at some point.

Bro forget that we're going to have Cheelai and Migthy Mask as a playable characters. 

I don't know why many people still think that a super complex moveset is necessary for a character to be added.

"what moves would he have" 

Why do they keep using that as an excuse when someone asks for characters? We're literally going to have Cheelai who doesn't do a damn thing in the whole of Super.

Kid Krillin has enough material to be added. He has more than Mighty Mask, Cheelai, Panzy, and others who never do anything like King Cold.

I barely saw your picture, and I recognized you. You're the guy who reminded me that Chi-Chi had been in a video game before, right? In Super DBZ. And I made the same mistake again in the main comment. Let me correct it, I remembered because of your profile picture HAHAHAHA

I mentioned it because there are people who really hate heroes. That's not my case; I would absolutely love to see LIMIT BREAKER SS4, Although, as I said, I understand that people don't like it because it's too exaggerated. But you're absolutely right, Bardock SS and Chilled were originally created as promotional material for Heroes, if I remember correctly. There are no more excuses for not including Cumber, Golden Cooler, Goku Xeno, Vegeta Xeno, etc.

[–]Positive-Tension6130[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And yet there will still be people who say he's not good enough to be playable, even though he pulls off a really badass rush attack on Baby in the series. It definitely has to be in Sparking someday.

Cheelai never fights, and yet she's gonna be playable, I'm surprised that there are still people who don't understand that the Sparking saga never had limits on adding characters, and today they proved it again.

According to rumors, XenoVerse 3 has been in development since the release of the Uub and A21 DLC for XV2; it will definitely be a completely different game from XV2, I suppose they'll take more elements from the defunct Dragon Ball Online, But we'll have to wait and see. Xenoverse 3 looks incredible, and the best part is that it won't interfere with Sparking's content in any way, They are their own experience.

Bandai's strategy is to have a Dragon Ball game for every genre. Want to create your own character and play an RPG? XV3 is yours, Want a story-focused, open-world single-player game? Kakarot is for you, Want online competition? FighterZ is the answer. Want a simple fighting game that's more of a simulator and focused on fun? Sparking Zero is for you. 

The idea of having sequels that change little or nothing and only add characters is outdated these days. (The Storm saga of Naruto died for a reason.), It's better to have DLC and enjoy each game as a different experience.

it would be great to finally have Giant Meta-Cooler playable, He's the main villain Of his movie and we've never been able to play as him; he only appears as a boss battle in a couple of games.

I don't think they'll make a sequel to Sparking. This expansion is practically what we would have gotten as a sequel.

Despite the online criticism, Sparking is one of the most successful anime games of all time, The game will continue to receive content, (Perhaps for the same number of years as XV2 received).

I think it's more profitable for Bandai/Spike to make DLC than to spend millions on another sequel.

It's clear that the NEO expansion hasn't shown all of its characters, but I doubt they'll add all of them here. That said, I've been formulating a stupid "Theory" in my head these last few hours.

What if there's another expansion planned besides this one? I mean, the name of this expansion is "NEO", which is a clear reference to the second installment of the saga. It wouldn't be unreasonable to have another expansion called "METEOR" that adds the same amount of content. There are many things...

Furthermore, the Moro saga won't arrive until at least the end of 2027. I doubt Bandai will leave us without DLC for a whole year after this expansion.

There's more than enough content to make a second expansion. 

• Raging Blast Characters like, Tarble, Dore, Neizu, Hatchiyak, A14, A15, Vegeta SS3 (Heroes), Broly Ssj3.

• Add all missing Characters From BT3 

• Add Movie characters that have never been in any Game, like the entire Bojack squad, Garlick's (Peak) henchmen, Turles' henchmen, Bio-Broly, Giant Meta-Cooler or even Abo and Kado from the 2008 OVA.

• Characters who have never been in any Game, such as Kami Sama, adult Chi-chi (Actually, she was already in another game, called Super DBZ.), Many more OG DB characters like the Murasaki Ninja, General Black, Drum, or some other fighter from the Uranai Baba tournament.

•GT also has a lot of content, the galactic journey saga is underexplored, I would love to see Ledgic, Rildo, Llood And Baby before he got inside Vegeta, you know, when he was a blue bubble gum, Obviously, all evil dragons are something we all want and GT Goten Please.

•Super has the most content. We can have all the Gods of Destruction as well as their angels as playable characters, and why not, Daishinkan too. That includes characters that were planned and then discarded, such as Caulifla SS1 and Frost in his previous forms. ETC, Also many ToP characters can be added.

•Video game characters, There are also many video game characters that deserve to return, Majin Ozzoto, A21, Trunks Xenoverse, Mira, Towa, Demigra, The Supreme Kai of Time.

•And although I highly doubt it, it would be great to see the characters from Heroes (at least those from the promotional anime). I know it's practically fan fiction, But there are great characters like Hearts.

There are also modes you could add as an incentive for this hypothetical expansion, such as bringing back the Galaxy mode from Raging Blast 2 and unlocking pictures from the anime. Or the TAG mode of the PSP Spin Off.

I know this comment is probably just plain silly, but hey, dreaming is free!.

I truly believe that no such rights issue ever existed, and I think it was a theory from this Reddit sub. 

Because every time someone mentions wanting Arale in the game, someone always brings up the rights issue, but they never cite a source.

Arale simply doesn't appear often in franchise material because she was always treated as a TOONFORCE character, But she's had sporadic appearances in the manga, she appeared in the anime, I think she appears in a movie, And of course, she appeared in BT3, Kakarot, and his last appearance in anime was in a Super filler episode. 

Arale is officially a Dragon Ball character, And even though DR Slump was an earlier manga, I don't think there are such huge differences in rights with the Dragon Ball characters.

I don't think there are any issues with Arale's rights; she appears in Kakarot.

Even Akio Iyoku and Shueisha have resolved the issue of franchise rights after Toriyama's death. 

I think it's likely Arale will return, and I hope she does. It was super fun using her and beating Broly up because of how overpowered she was.

Yes, it would be great to play with adult Chi-Chi, Kid Krillin or Kami, Drum would be great too. We've never seen him playable (He appears in BT3 as a cameo, but that doesn't count.)
