There are many ways to approach combat in Sparking! Zero, each with its own pros and cons. Keeping your strategy unpredictable is one of the best ways to ensure your attacks hit, one effective technique is learning how to dash behind your enemies. In this guide, we will talk about how to dash behind the enemies in DRAGON BALL Sparking! ZERO.
How to Dash Behind Enemies in DRAGON BALL Sparking! ZERO
In Sparking! Zero, the distance to your opponent affects the options you have. As you back away, you’ll see speed lines appear, signalling that you’re moving faster and have left close range. This is important because your dash-in move changes depending on how far you are. When you’re up close, pressing the dash button activates a quick step that changes into a standard rush combo.
However, if you’re at a longer distance, pressing the dash button will perform a quick dash. From there, if you attack, you’ll execute a unique short dash attack that can be charged to send opponents flying, combined into a rush combo, or followed up with two special moves called dash rising and dash blow.
If you’re really far away, your best move is likely to use a Dragon Dash by holding the right trigger and pressing the dash button. If you press it without holding a direction, you’ll automatically dash toward your target, but if you hold a direction, you’ll fly that way instead. From a Dragon Dash, you can perform a standard attack that can combo into a rush combo if it lands.
Alternatively, if you’re willing to spend an extra bar of your Ki meter, you can press the dash button again while in a Dragon Dash to quickly hide behind your opponent. From there, you can perform a dash attack that they’ll have to react to and block, which is quite challenging to do.
