Despite being one of the most anticipated titles of the year,Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerowill unfortunately not be a perfect game. In a recent interview, the developers of the game confirmed that they will use an unusual system to balance the ranked online matches.

Spike Chunsoft, the studio behind this anticipated title, said there will be a points system so that players cannot use an entire team of extremely powerful warriors. The studio even confirmed that they will not aim to have a game considered for esports under any circumstances.
Spike Chunsoft Chose to Implement an Unusual System for the Online Play of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerois only a few months away from reaching players’ hands, with hype through the roof. With several promises to fulfill, this anticipated title will have to meet high expectations considering how beloved theBudokai Tenkaichigames were in the past.
Bandai Namco has already promised that this game will live up to the hype and be one of the best titles based on the popular anime of recent years.

Unfortunately, not all news is good, as the studio behind the game,Spike Chunsoft, warned in a recent interview about how the online mode will work. The studio announced the implementation of a points system for online play, which will determine the choice of fighter type.
Combat will involve up to five characters, and this points system will prevent everyone from choosing the same powerful warriors.

This Could Have a Huge Impact on Online Combat, but at the Same Time, It Could Balance It Very Well
This decision by the studio is somewhat controversial but also makes sense. It is very difficult to balance over 160 fighters, so this system could achieve that without everyone selecting the same five warriors. One of the thingsDragon Ballhas never been able to do is balance its fighters—the anime itself knows that the only strongest warriors are always Goku and Vegeta, with all other fighters, except for some villains, falling behind.

Unlike other games with numerous characters, such as theNaruto Ultimate Ninja Stormsaga, this significant power difference could mean very unbalanced combat. It will be challenging to fully evaluate the studio’s proposed system until the game’s release, but theoretically, despite its unconventional nature, it may work. Another thing Spike Chunsoft clarified is that this game will not aim to be considered for esports under any circumstances.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerowill arrive on October 10 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The game has already confirmed several modes, such as the classic story from the anime that can be played from the beginning and split-screen combat, where the player can choose to follow the canon or try a different outcome. Fans of this saga, which began in the early 2000s, are very excited to try this direct sequel that will carry the original Japanese name.
