If you check out the trailer below at the 1:27 mark, you’ll see Vegeta using a rush attack and proclaiming “the Saiyans are a true warrior race - don’t underestimate us!” If you spent any meaningful time playing Budokai Tenkaichi 2 or 3 back in the day, you’ll likely have that exact line burned into your memory, because it was exactly the same in the old games. Clearly, the devs of Sparking Zero are paying tribute to the classics down to the last detail.
The return of the “don’t underestimate us” line is dominating the conversation around the new trailer, judging by the comments acrossYouTube,Reddit, andTwitter. The voice acting in general is drawing some big praise, with alot of loveshown to the intense performances showcased at the end of the trailer.
The new trailer confirms 15 additions to the roster, including Chiaotzu, Saibaman, Cui, Dodoria, Zarbon, Super Zarbon, Nail, Guldo, Recoome, Ginyu, and no fewer than five different versions of Frieza - first, second, third, fourth, and fourth form full power variations. There are still quite a few spots on the roster left open too, and while there’s plenty of hope for GT characters to make an appearance, I have to admit I’m just looking for Golden Frieza and Mecha Frieza to show up and expand my Frieza options even further.
As Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s classic-style quick-time events are teased, fighting game fans fear for their controllers: “DualSenses are like 70 bucks I need y’all to chill.”
