ZERO boasts the largest roster of characters among Dragon Ball fighting games, featuring over 180 playable characters. Even on the Switch version, you can enjoy split-screen battles with friends or family.
What kind of game is Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO?
This is a fighting game where you control characters from Dragon Ball to battle against each other. Choose Son Goku to use the Kamehameha Wave and Spirit Bomb to fight against friends and rivals from around the world.
Character
Over 180 characters appear, the most in the series. Characters from a wide range of series, from Dragon Ball to Dragon Ball Z, make an appearance.
Moves added from previous titles
Short Dash
This dash allows you to move short distances at high speed. By instantly relocating, you can use it for attacking or evading, making it an essential skill. Practice until you can master it.
Revenge Counter
Using a Revenge Counter can stop an opponent’s combo attack. To use a Revenge Counter, you need a gauge called “Skill Stock.” Skill Stock accumulates over time or by performing attacks.
Ultra Discernment
Super Parry is a technique that can deflect special moves like the Kamehameha Wave. When it connects, you’ll see an anime-style cool motion where the energy blast gets deflected, so it’s guaranteed to get you and your friends hyped during matches.
Motion-based actions unique to the Switch version
Hold a Switch controller in each hand to unleash techniques like Kamehameha and Genki Dama. It’s fun because it feels like you’ve stepped right into the world of Dragon Ball.
Difference Between Switch and Switch 2
Switch2 has better graphics.
Switch 2 offers superior visuals. The comparison below shows footage from both Switch and Switch 2. Notice how the cliff behind Gohan is rendered with greater detail on the left-hand Switch 2 image. While the fighting experience is enjoyable on either console, we recommend purchasing Switch 2 for those who want to fully immerse themselves in the Dragon Ball universe.
Important Notes
Switch and Switch 2 cannot play together. If you want to play online with friends, make sure you have the same Switch version.

Episode Battle
This mode lets you enjoy the story from the perspective of your chosen character. You can select from eight characters: Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Future Trunks, Frieza, Goku Black, and Jiren. With stories differing from the original works, this mode is a must-play for Dragon Ball fans.
Custom Battle
This battle mode lets you create original battle scenarios tailored to your preferences. It’s fun because you can create interactions between characters who never fight in the manga or anime.
