As a seasoned gamer with over three decades under my belt, I must say that this latest update for Dragon Ball Sparking Zero has certainly piqued my interest. The developers have clearly put a lot of thought into balancing the game and making it more enjoyable for all players.
One major point of curiosity prior to the release of Dragon Ball Sparking Zero was whether the upcoming installment in the Budokai Tenkaichi series would feature local split screen play. Indeed, it does, however, a number of enthusiasts were disheartened upon learning that the split screen functionality could only be utilized on the Hyperbolic Time Chamber stage. Now, the developers have announced several updates to rectify this issue in the latest patch notes for Dragon Ball Sparking Zero.
Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Update Patch Notes (December 12)
If you’ve been eager to outdo your friend in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero while both of you are comfortably seated on the couch, get ready for an enjoyable experience from the very beginning! The recent update released on December 12 brings a significant improvement – the split screen mode now allows access to all stages. This is a major leap for a feature that was somewhat restrictive at launch, but it’s not the only change you can expect.
In an attempt to rebalance certain aspects of the game, more than a dozen battle strategies have undergone modifications. Additionally, several special abilities and attacks have been revised. The well-known Afterimage Strike has experienced a decrease in its duration, instant abilities that trigger Sparking! Mode now require more skills, long-range and Ultimate Blasts have been made slower, and six characters have been fine-tuned.
In this update, Great Ape Vegeta and Dr. Wheelo have had their maximum health reduced, making them less durable in battle. Android 19 and Dr. Gero will now expend ki when using abilities like Dragon Dash, Quick Ascend, and Quick Descene. Additionally, Cell 2nd Form’s throw can now be escaped from by opponents. The only character to receive a small buff is Cooler; the amount of health he regains upon transforming has been slightly increased.
