How to counter in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero explained

As an old-school cinephile who grew up watching Dragon Ball Z on VHS tapes (back when we had to rewind them), I must say that the latest installment of Budokai Tenkaichi has me feeling like a kid again, albeit with a bit more gray hair. The franchise’s fighting mechanics have always been a joy to master, and Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is no exception.


The latest addition to the beloved Dragon Ball fighting series, Budokai Tenkaichi 4, was released about a week ago. With the new Dragon Ball: Daima series premiering on Netflix as well, now is an ideal moment to immerse yourself in this franchise.

Regrettably, the world lost Akira Toriyama prematurely, yet his impact continues to resonate profoundly through various artistic mediums.

If you’re new to the aforementioned fighting series, you might be struggling with the latest one.

Especially if you’re playing online. Long time fans aren’t exactly forgiving.

It’s a game that requires you to focus and learn the moves. Button mashing is not your friend.

When you’re finding things too much, a good first step might be to focus on the fundamentals. Countering, which is a crucial move, is often overlooked by many.

Let’s explore the strategies for countering in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. Before long, you’ll notice the situation shifting in your favor.

The most popular type of counter is known as the Super Counter. Not only does it prevent damage from an attack, but it’ll send your opponent flying. So how do we do it?

In essence, the control method varies. If you’re working with typical controls, just push the left joystick upward and hit the ‘Square’ button (or ‘X’ on an Xbox controller). Alternatively, if you prefer using a mouse and keyboard, press the ‘W’ key and click the left mouse button instead.

Easy, right? Simpler than learning a twenty button combo.

Absolutely, mastering the timing requires plenty of practice, but perfecting your counter-attacks will prove to be well worth your time and energy. Rest assured.
