can i just say that it was pretty fucking impressive that dodoria and zarbon actually held there own against super saiyan god level opponents in the frieza what if
Gohan Black Arc is legit the best thing this game gave us, you have no idea how hype it was when it got leaked and then it was actually real!! That’s what I want to see more of in DBZ Games, just entirely new characters and such. I think that’s why that Arc is just the best what if in all of Dragon Ball Video games
The what if really saved that story mode, i loved most of them. I wish it could unlock some new costumes like Gohan black or Scouter Vegeta Super Saiyan
I really wished we had Jiren’s story head to making a selfish wish to bring back his master to tell him that strength alone is absolutely but the master is still disappointed on Jiren and it leads to all universes getting deleted and Jiren in the end regretting his decision.
I LOVED the concept of Frieza’s what if, bringing the whole ginyu force was SO fun but it disappointed me so bad when nothing came of it. I was hoping for a possible ginyu body change with toppo, if not, jiren
The only thing that brough Trunks' what ifs down was the fact that they didn't give us the option to save THE GOAT future Gohan Seriously, what a wasted opportunity
the one with King Cold also has him just job against Kale for no reason which was like, why have him as an option then it basically ends up as frieza alone.
Gohan Black arc is definitely the best thing that ever happened to fans like me since I felt disappointed Gohan didn’t get involved in helping Trunks, Goku and Vegeta in the Future Trunks Saga. Bandai has listened to the DB community and that fan request is really a dream come true. But I am curious about what would Black/Zamasu called his Ultimate form if Goku Black has Super Saiyan Rose? Would an evolved form of Gohan's Ultimate State be called ’Divine Gohan’? And I agreed that it sucks that we never got the chance to see Gohan vs Hit when Universe 7 competes with Universe 6. It would’ve given us a hint of his new Beast form.
I think a fun what if would be having non canon transformations there, imagine an what if gohan went ssj on namek after freeza tanks the spirit bomb, or having Vegeta going SSJ3 after Beerus slaps Bulma, or maybe have Gogeta fight Zamasu and black, i know they are canon but i like them more
I also love the concept of Trunks teaming up with Android 17 and 18 in the what if story in the Tournament of Power story. I wish Bandai can find a way to merge this and Trunks teaming up with Vegeta into one.
Some of them were amazing, but I feel like they really dropped the ball in a lot of cases. Hopefully they can retroactively add in more later. Gohan Black and Goku's Saiyan saga what-if's were the best.
Maybe a bit hard to pull of and i'm not sure if this is even a good what if idea to begin with... BUT! for goku black, i have one more idea for a what if: reviving goku black and/or zamasu for the TOP instead of frieza. He could have some interesting dialouge with characters like the androids, the pride troopers and people like hit, frost or roshi. Maybe even let him team up with vegeta. Plus, it would be great to see his reactions to the other gods of destruction and zeno. And his and toppo's different views on justice and a god's duties.
That could be cool. Only thing is he's been completely wiped from existence, not sent to hell or anything, so idk if it'd even be possible to bring him back
Dude why do people hate gohan’s tracksuit definitely top 3 outfits. Plus you can’t tell me you prefer him in goku’s gi which is so boring. Also it literally is paying homage to toriyama.
It's probably because I associate it with gohan's most pathetic moment in the series for me in resurrection f. I do like him in the orange gi but only really in ultimate gohan form
@ well i feel people should separate the two cuz it’s an awesome look plus you could say the same for the orange gi cuz he was horrible in the buu fight. I get the ultimate gohan making it cool but like I said if you separate the association it’s just a boring lame look for gohan and im glad that in the manga they changed it to the purple gi. All in all the tracksuit is great and that’s that.
Another thing you could’ve done with Goku black well I saw this in a video, but I like it so here’s how it goes. We pick up at when. Goku, Black and Zamasu shot the spirit ball at Goku. He absorbs it instead of destroying it and because he absorbed it he goes. Ultra instinct, omen the rest of the what
@ summary at the bottom yeah but I feel like it could go into its own story about how the other universes try to assassinate him since he’s so strong it can kind of be like a mini arc where Goku still has to remember that his power does draw in opponents, and he must truly use his power in a way that will help the people around him instead of for his own personal gain kind of like a with great power comes great responsibility. He must learn how to, use his power at the right time instead of just going headfirst he must think about the people around him in a short way, he must remember the actions around them. Don’t just hurt him, but the people around him. and it can push and show us how strong before and during the tournament of power oh yeah, it could kinda be like a ark where Goku‘s not available at all like he has no way to come back without possibly making universe lose the tournament, so kinda still the, want to train the new generation and maybe get people like trunks go to and Gohan to go on Beerus’s planet show us their true potential when pushed also go to would be the strongest in the Multiverse including black freezer but I am not gonna get into that
@@holyvectorThe thing about Ultra Instinct is that it requires you be calm to achieve the power. Goku Black is far too egotistical to achieve that power. If anything, Ultra Ego is more suited to him.
#5 is my favorite, personally its a whole ass arc; I was really sad that not all of the what ifs were this deep EDIT: Gohan Black was basically as good though, such a shame we cant play as him officially...
The only thing that I find disappointing about the Gohan Black What If is Gohan not going into Beast Form when Merged Zamasu tells him that he's the one who killed Videl & Pan, though I understand that Beast Gohan probably wasn't ready to be playable when the SZ devs made that What If
I think what have been better is that Ultimate Gohan’s blue bio-electricity turns red and the center of his eyes gains a slight red glow. Kinda like a Beast(Sign) or something. Of course after Gohan Beast comes out, they could always update the story mode and give you the option of Gohan ignoring Goku and unlock Beast.
@@MartyN2A I wouldn’t say a new form per day, just change the color of the bio-electricity and make his eyes slightly glow up, but still have Gohan play the same with the same moves and such.
@@MartyN2A I can see that, unfortunately. Do you think it would have been better to have Gohan Black against Goku, who uses Super Saiyan 3 instead of 2. Like, Goku teleports like normal, because they’ll tell him and Vegeta about Future Trunks, Gohan spars with Future Trunks, and then Gohan Black appears and in a surprise twist, YOU(the player) play as Gohan Black against Goku who insists on fighting him first, to like draw out and build up the inevitable clash between Gohan and Gohan Black. Something like, I don’t know, I was thinking about things like this, that could have potentially made the story better. And then Gohan spars with Present Zamasu in the Universe 10, then when Gohan and Co. go to the future, THEN you can fight Gohan Black against Gohan, in his Ultimate State. Like, Ultimate Gohan reduces/survives against Gohan Black as a win condition, but Gohan Black still wins, due to getting use to his body better from his battle with Goku, who is Gohan’s father, but still can’t unlock Ultimate yet do to not fighting Gohan yet, but is getting there. Gohan and co. Retreat, Gohan learns the Mafuba and just add that he got a Zenkai Boost from getting beaten near death by Black. Other plans can be made to catch Gohan Black off guard, as they jump him, and incapacitate Zamasu. They almost kill Gohan Black, but Zamasu’s surprises everyone with the Kai Kai technique, which he didn’t use before or something, tanking what supposed to be the finishing blow and heals Gohan Black, which pushes him to finally unlock his Ultimate State. Then you can fight as Gohan Black again, but in his Ultimate State, and instead of doing a KI Scythe/KameHameHa combo as his Ultimate, it’s a KI Scythe/Masenko combo. Ultimate Gohan Black whoops everyone as he explains that he’s actually Zamasu, and after winning, Gohan Black reveals that he killed Videl and Pan from his timeline, which would trigger Gohan to tapping into a little of Beast’s power/Beast(Sign) and pushes Gohan Black back.
I feel as though it was an incredibly missed opportunity to segment everyone’s story mode the way they did. They could’ve easily had one big story mode with characters changing throughout and sparking episodes opening up as you progress and beat fights in a specific way. Also the alternate costumes not being accessible is a HUGE fumble. We would’ve loved to have a SSJ Saiyan/Namek arc Vegeta or a Gohan Black playable, especially in custom battles
I had fun playing through these but I have to agree they're pretty bare bones. I'm also in favor of every costume we can get, gimme Ss Vegeta in his Saiyan armor and his pink shirt haha
If there is one I wish for in both the Gohan Black story and Future Trunks entering the Tournament of Power is Future Mai. I would’ve loved to see her interact with Videl in a girl talk as they watch their men spar, as well as her younger counterpart and the Pilaf Gang. And to see more of Trunks x Mai’s relationship as they discussed their plans for the future after following Whis’s advice. I do not care what people saids but Trumai is one my favorite Dragon Ball couples.
@MartyN2A I thought it was just whoever you played at the beginning she one shots, but no, swapped me to cold while I waz freiza mid combo just to die to a blast and have all his health bars evaporate
I was always obsessed with the ToP so any what if that features ToP content is my favorite; except Jiren’s only because everything you said is right (I prefer him over Goku Black still, only because playing as Black felt so hopeless and sad)
@ totally a personal thing, I don’t like playing as the people who are eliminating life and stuff. I can do villain runs but not when the grand purpose is soooo dark. Seeing trunks battle for hope and then shutting him down constantly just hurt too much for me!
Goku Black is a time traveler and that alone opens up so many opportunities for what ifs people have made careers off of it. Movies, GT, even pre goku black saga. There is so much potential for a goku black what if that's completely squandered because they played the safest card they had. Goku Black at the bare MINIMUM should've had a what if where he revolted against zamasu like they hinted 20 times over with the original arc
Now that you mentioned it, he did recruited different versions of Zamasu’s in the manga version of the Future Trunks arc. That would be a tough challenge for Bandai to build this what if story.
Gohan black will be a playable character. He is already playable through a bug in custom battles. Which is good because it would be boring if he was just a gohan outfit since he’d still have the same moveset
My favorite what if is like the same one as Vegeta vs goku at the end of Vegetas saga but instead in the tournament it’s at the KAI’s world and he fights goku and it lowkey goes hard
Yeah I think story was sort of disappointing too. The structure and the way it was handled was just sort of underwhelming and cut the flow of the story a lot, I would’ve preferred a classic bt story structure where you just swapped characters and made fights more close to the original material like the saiyan saga fight against the z warriors, instead of you know, having to change to piccolos episode then switch back to gokus and then vegetas and so on. Really a shame, the slideshows just added more salt to the wound.
Well it didn't even kill him in the original version so no. Also the way his father barely cared when trunks killed him, I don't think they have a "loving" relationship lol
I would personally put Jirens What If ending higher on the list. It fleshed out his character a lot more and answered one of the big questions I always had, which is what he would have wished for had he won.
@@MartyN2A Yeah, it's one of my top three for that reason If Vegeta is your favorite character or something, it was a really nice way to give him that power-up and redemption in Gohan's place
Lol no need to be sorry. Is this your first time watching a video you don't agree with? I don't think I ever said it was worse than any others, I just said it's utterly disappointing, which I stand by
haha woahh!! I wouldn’t bust out the “what on Earth are you talking about” phrase for such a claim, just on the basis that BT3 had all fights for all sagas, had a GT story section and every DBZ movie to play. of course Sparking Zero is better quality, just saying that if SZ had those things, maybe the uploaded wouldn’t of been disappointed, hey?
if this game ever gets a sequel I PRAY they leave the gameplay mostly the same and just pour all their resources in the story mode, the voice actors pouring their hearts out to a jpeg narration was goofy as hell at best and a chore at worst
Ummm no. Disney has the distribution rights to some dragon ball films. That doesn't equate to them OWNING dragon ball. That's like saying ESPN OWNS the NBA
They should've ended all those arcs with frieza losing EXCEPT the ginyu force I swear they could've done A LOT with that, have ginyu body swap with toppo and watch that throw jiren off and then ginyu a$$ pull a silent body swap on jiren and POOF jiryu is here and it's an easy f*ckin win
I love pushing the limit the only reason it can never be my number 1 and its petty but it's.... virgin vegeta since he has no attachment to earth and future trunks is my favorite character of all time so any reality in which he doesn't exist is wrong in my eyes with side by side vegeta may comeback to earth or bulma was already pregnant as goku picked him up from capsule corps
In vegeta vs Cell what if, Vegeta goes Super saiyan 2 when Trunks gets shot by Cell. And while they didn't do a masenko in the mentor sparking episodr with Piccolo. They do have a mentor, student masenko with Gohan and Trunks in the gohan black what if. As for Jiren if you win with no sparking episode done then he makes a selfish wish and everyone dies. With sparking episode Jiren changes in his personality due to gis comrades helping him and master roshi talking to him. Causing him to wish everyonr back. But that what if is more character arc driven. And all goku black what ifs are just the same except they're either fused, not fused or corrupted fused. My favorite what if has got to be Gohan Black that was amazing.
@@MartyN2A Understandable the only new fight was just Master Roshi who does have interesting dialogue but it was easy to defeat him before his dialogue started but tbh for characters like Jiren and Goku Black it's not like they could have done much. They only appear in one arc and the only what if you can really do with them is what if they won. So they tried their best with what they had but yeah compared to the other what ifs the Jiren and Goku Black one were definetly at the bottom of the barrel.
Hmm I think Goku Black as a Crazy what if could have had like, a redemption arc. And maybe with Jiren they could do somenthing that makes him show up in universe 7 early, or really just show some of his life and feats prior to super. It's not like they shied away from introducing charachter model that haven't shown up in the base game anyway.
I find the Frieza what if so frustrating because Cooler is in it...and he's absolutely wasted. It's such a tease. Cooler is a non canon character from the movies so the opportunity to see him in a what if of a canon event should be special. But he fights Hit and he sucks in his brothers What If. Yeah sure, movie wise he's weak in comparison to Super era characters but who cares?! The good version of this what if would be Cooler and Frieza fighting against Cabba, Kale, and Caulifla then Kefla as part of their weird Saiyan Revenge plan. Then Cooler teams up with Frost to betray Frieza and Frieza and a partner the player gets to choose (Goku, Vegeta, Android 17, or even a Pride Trooper). You could even have the ending be after Cooler and Frost lose they get erased by Zeno. Just anything but him just existing as a side piece to the what if
I think the Gohan Black was WAY better than the anime and manga versions of the Goku Black arc, in my opinion. Not only this made Gohan a more pragmatic character, actively preparing for the worst at the first chance he got rather than taking Beerus’s word at face value about the erasure of Zamasu like the anime, but not only did he learn the Evil Containment Wave, but actually succeeded in using the technique, which was the key factor to victory and actually saving Trunks’s timeline, saving us from another garbage, meaningless ending! This also doesn’t undermine Trunks’s theme; that together, mortals can overcome difficult odds, even if said obstacles are gods, but Zamasu almost merging with the universe, and needing Grand Zeno(the God of Gods) coming in and erasing everything, including Trunks’s home, just takes a dump on all that and made the entire arc pointless!
@ About the point of Gohan not fighting having that sparring match against Present Zamasu in Universe 10. I theorized that that was the original plan but got scrapped for some reason. Because Gohan does fight Future Zamasu as a Super Saiyan 2, even though he realistically he should have used Ultimate considering the situation and against Gohan Black considering he was the stronger one of the duo.
Come on you are being too harsh on the jiren what if The ending is pretty good, and i can't believe they got the roshi vs jiren fight from the manga lol
@@MartyN2A Not to get too polarized about a videogame but thats still shocking. Much like the first of Trunk’s what ifs you mention Jirens path serves as a good alternate ending to the saga, and would’ve made Jiren a decent character if it had happened. Goku Blacks is just yapping about mortals, and “then they won”. Not even shwoing him fight against other universes or anything like that. Clear bottom, not even interchangeable.
Why isn’t gohan stepping up to spopobich at the very last it was just a fight and it went exactly like the main story except shin just paralyzes u meaning NOTHING changes plus why can they show goku black and zamasu going thru the plan not in a fkn slideshow lien show them obliterating planets galaxies the universe and flying towards another Tilly hey get confronted
@MartyN2A I think it woulda better established that there is a higher level goku has to achieve. Similar to his speech in super broly. And it woulda added a lot to jiren's development to go from "I can be the only winner. And strive above all" to "I respect goku and all the fighters today." Or something like that. Like he'll be less of s cold character and winning would allow him to open up.
@thedarkavenger2928 nah I think it totally fits. Plus it would been a great allusion to the song wu kong tale. Idk if u guys remember the theory a while back but apparently it goes something like jiren represents Buddha and well goku is song wu kong. And in one of the tales song wu kon actually loses his first fight with buddha and gains a lesson in the end.
Kinda not a big fan of not having any really wacky sh*t in the what ifs (except obviously gohan black), no new fusions, no new forms and sh*t They should've made one where caulifla achieved ssj3, or made some changes to the future trunks TOP arc where he gets god ki and use ssg similar to dragon ball heroes Heck i wouldn't mind a super saiyan rosé 2 from goku black in desperation when he realizes zamasu is no longer with him THESE WHAT IFs AREN'T WACKY ENOUGH
Some of these what ifs really come off as weak and heavily trying to lead to the original story like jiren wishing for the restortation of the universe anyway or ssj2 gohan controlling his emotions but cell blowing himself up anyway, it just feels lame?
@@MartyN2A aye man , say man 🤷🏻♂️ whatever floats your boat. Vegetable just gets canonically stomped by almost every villain at least once 😂 dude can never get a W.
Though the story mode is disappointing. What I am pretty excited about is the next installment to the sparking line. Since they likely spent most of their time on the mechanics and gameplay during development of Sparking zero, and with the game’s mechanics only needing polishing with a few patches down the line, the next release can really allow developers to focus on a proper story mode just like the 2nd tenkaichi with elements from the 3rd and then some to really amp up the game. All speculation but with a lot of the heavy and time consuming development work out of the way now, sparking’s next game could be the best one yet.
can i just say that it was pretty fucking impressive that dodoria and zarbon actually held there own against super saiyan god level opponents in the frieza what if
That's what hard work can do for ya.... apparently
Wow dude XD Absolute nonsense
Gohan Black Arc is legit the best thing this game gave us, you have no idea how hype it was when it got leaked and then it was actually real!!
That’s what I want to see more of in DBZ Games, just entirely new characters and such. I think that’s why that Arc is just the best what if in all of Dragon Ball Video games
It just might be
Oh man, them not having Gohan do masenko vs Cell in the mentor arc is a huge waste of potential
Yaaa, I was kinda expecting it at that point 🥲
The what if really saved that story mode, i loved most of them. I wish it could unlock some new costumes like Gohan black or Scouter Vegeta Super Saiyan
It definitely should allow those unlocks, I hope they don't make it paid dlc
I really wished we had Jiren’s story head to making a selfish wish to bring back his master to tell him that strength alone is absolutely but the master is still disappointed on Jiren and it leads to all universes getting deleted and Jiren in the end regretting his decision.
No way they would've designed their own character for this game haha
6:25 Friendly reminder that piccolo is like 3 years older than gohan and was a whole ass adult in 1 year
Lol, Piccolo REALLY grew up fast kid 😂

Seriously, what a wasted opportunity
Yeah. What was that non sense about with them completely skipping all of DBZ section for Trunks Story. Made no sense.
Honestly, the story mode was clearly rushed
@MartyN2A Yeah especially with the PowerPoint slideshows
the one with King Cold also has him just job against Kale for no reason which was like, why have him as an option then it basically ends up as frieza alone.

EDIT: Gohan Black was basically as good though, such a shame we cant play as him officially...

Should of got a "what if Vegeta went SSJ3 Against Kid Buu?" Or "Vegeta SSJ3 against Beerus?"
We should've gotten a lot for vegeta 😔

For sure, they better not sell those costumes later, just make em free
Just a reminder vegeta has super saiyan and a tale in that sparking episode what if. Which likely means he beat frieza with great ape and super saiyan
If only we could've played it ourselves 😔
I had fun playing through these but I have to agree they're pretty bare bones. I'm also in favor of every costume we can get, gimme Ss Vegeta in his Saiyan armor and his pink shirt haha
Pink shirt vegeta would go hard 😂
Out of curiosity, what don’t you like about the story mode?

@MartyN2A I thought it was just whoever you played at the beginning she one shots, but no, swapped me to cold while I waz freiza mid combo just to die to a blast and have all his health bars evaporate
9:37 he did beat piccolo with a huge hole in his chest so..
Ya but with a headbutt, not with a giant ass ki blast thrown from the arm where he was hit lol
I was always obsessed with the ToP so any what if that features ToP content is my favorite; except Jiren’s only because everything you said is right (I prefer him over Goku Black still, only because playing as Black felt so hopeless and sad)
Lmao hopeless how? 😂
@ totally a personal thing, I don’t like playing as the people who are eliminating life and stuff. I can do villain runs but not when the grand purpose is soooo dark. Seeing trunks battle for hope and then shutting him down constantly just hurt too much for me!
Haha fair enough
Goku Black is a time traveler and that alone opens up so many opportunities for what ifs people have made careers off of it. Movies, GT, even pre goku black saga. There is so much potential for a goku black what if that's completely squandered because they played the safest card they had. Goku Black at the bare MINIMUM should've had a what if where he revolted against zamasu like they hinted 20 times over with the original arc
Too much work 😔
Now that you mentioned it, he did recruited different versions of Zamasu’s in the manga version of the Future Trunks arc. That would be a tough challenge for Bandai to build this what if story.
Gohan black will be a playable character. He is already playable through a bug in custom battles. Which is good because it would be boring if he was just a gohan outfit since he’d still have the same moveset
Should of got "What if Broly went LSSJ3 then fought SSJ3 Goku,SSJ3 Vegeta, and SSJ3 Gotenks?"
Or "What if DBZ Broly beat the Z fighters".
We should've gotten movies in the story mode at all 😂
Hot take: The Gohan Black arc is better than the original
More of a cold take
My favorite what if is like the same one as Vegeta vs goku at the end of Vegetas saga but instead in the tournament it’s at the KAI’s world and he fights goku and it lowkey goes hard
That one's good, but since it was really just one fight I didn't include it here
9:37 piccolo missed goku’s vital organs
But still 🤣
All of them?!?!
Vegeta was Super Saiyan 2 in the Cell fight what-if btw. You didn’t mention that.
Ya I didn't realize lol. Tho it doesn't change my ranking
Trunks in the TOP is the best one because he should've been in it in the first place.
You mean kid trunks should've been in it? Or actual future trunks
@@MartyN2A Future Trunks should've stayed in the past, it would've made the erasure of his Timeline much more meaningful.
Yeah I think story was sort of disappointing too. The structure and the way it was handled was just sort of underwhelming and cut the flow of the story a lot, I would’ve preferred a classic bt story structure where you just swapped characters and made fights more close to the original material like the saiyan saga fight against the z warriors, instead of you know, having to change to piccolos episode then switch back to gokus and then vegetas and so on. Really a shame, the slideshows just added more salt to the wound.
I think the slides slideshows WERE the wound 😂 dragon ball games have done individual story modes well before a la Budokai 3
@@MartyN2Ai wasn’t bothered by the slides simply because i’ve seen and played the story a bajillion times, and I just wanted to throw hands
the “frieza comes to earth” what-if was the first one i did it was a great first impression tbh
Ya that one was good, I low-key wish goku and vegeta beat him together tho
13:09 "Eeek!" 💀
😂
I just don’t get how Frieza loses completely to the spirit bomb. Doesn’t it kill pure evil? Doesn’t he love his father?
Well it didn't even kill him in the original version so no. Also the way his father barely cared when trunks killed him, I don't think they have a "loving" relationship lol
@@MartyN2A Lol maybe it wasn’t as powerful the first time? Idk, but it’s fine. 😆
I think we might get ssj vegeta early in his saiyan armor in a updateb
I hope a FREE update
The only good What If was Gohan Black. Everything else was too basic
I disagree that's the only good one. But I agree they could've done more
And the one where goku super saiyans on great ape vegeta
The rest are indeed too basic
Vegeta beating kid boo with goku together and beating ssj3 goku was also good
Yes, but it wasn't a separate arc so I didn't include it in here
I would personally put Jirens What If ending higher on the list. It fleshed out his character a lot more and answered one of the big questions I always had, which is what he would have wished for had he won.
I guess I'm just not a big jiren fan 😅
Vegeta goes ssj2 in the cell one, the electricity is prominent throughout his aura like crazy when you fight as him.
Does he? I didn't notice the electricity I guess
@@MartyN2A Yeah, it's one of my top three for that reason
If Vegeta is your favorite character or something, it was a really nice way to give him that power-up and redemption in Gohan's place
sorry but this story mode was better than BT3, raging blast and RB2 lol what on earth are you talking about when you said it wasnt that good
Lol no need to be sorry. Is this your first time watching a video you don't agree with? I don't think I ever said it was worse than any others, I just said it's utterly disappointing, which I stand by
haha woahh!! I wouldn’t bust out the “what on Earth are you talking about” phrase for such a claim, just on the basis that BT3 had all fights for all sagas, had a GT story section and every DBZ movie to play.
of course Sparking Zero is better quality, just saying that if SZ had those things, maybe the uploaded wouldn’t of been disappointed, hey?
While i do agree BT3 did more per fight than sparking zero, yeah.....SZ did much more per arc overall
@@highoctanesynx7950 better presentation for sure, quality over quantity, hope we are able to get both with updates; sorta doubtful myself though
if this game ever gets a sequel I PRAY they leave the gameplay mostly the same and just pour all their resources in the story mode, the voice actors pouring their hearts out to a jpeg narration was goofy as hell at best and a chore at worst
Imagine a dbz kakarot tier of story with sparking zero's gameplay
Wouldn't that be somethin
Agree or disagree: Sparking! Zero has made Dragonball the best challenger to Marvel
Idk how they're even really competitors
@ I can answer that.
Both are owned by Disney and are superhero genre. Both also draw big crowds and they go wild during reveals for both
Ummm no. Disney has the distribution rights to some dragon ball films. That doesn't equate to them OWNING dragon ball. That's like saying ESPN OWNS the NBA
@ Disney having the distribution rights means they own like 2% of it
Ginyu Jiren would have been a cool idea
For sure
For some reason, I cant get the dialogue option for Vegeta's sparking episode.
I've seen somebody else comment this. Apparently you have to beat kid trunks earlier in the story without taking a physical hit
08:04
How to improve that "what if"...?
Have Ginyu swap bodies with Jiren. Let's see what happens from there on...
Can't believe they just left out the ginyu force smh
They should've ended all those arcs with frieza losing EXCEPT the ginyu force
I swear they could've done A LOT with that, have ginyu body swap with toppo and watch that throw jiren off and then ginyu a$$ pull a silent body swap on jiren and POOF jiryu is here and it's an easy f*ckin win
gohan black and that super saiyan vegeta skin should be updates tbh
Facts
I know it won't happen but I would pay money for some what if and maybe GT or expanded early Z single player DLC
Gt and dragon ball story I would probably pay for. Movies should be free
I love pushing the limit the only reason it can never be my number 1 and its petty but it's.... virgin vegeta since he has no attachment to earth and future trunks is my favorite character of all time so any reality in which he doesn't exist is wrong in my eyes with side by side vegeta may comeback to earth or bulma was already pregnant as goku picked him up from capsule corps
Hey you never know, he may soften up a bit and shack up with bulma in his saiyan Armour 😂
i did the mentors guidance one on accident
Lol how does it happen on accident? 😂
In vegeta vs Cell what if, Vegeta goes Super saiyan 2 when Trunks gets shot by Cell.
And while they didn't do a masenko in the mentor sparking episodr with Piccolo.
They do have a mentor, student masenko with Gohan and Trunks in the gohan black what if.
As for Jiren if you win with no sparking episode done then he makes a selfish wish and everyone dies.
With sparking episode Jiren changes in his personality due to gis comrades helping him and master roshi talking to him. Causing him to wish everyonr back. But that what if is more character arc driven.
And all goku black what ifs are just the same except they're either fused, not fused or corrupted fused. My favorite what if has got to be Gohan Black that was amazing.
Ya I just put jiren bottom cuz I personally didn't care for him as a character and all his fights are essentially the same
@@MartyN2A Understandable the only new fight was just Master Roshi who does have interesting dialogue but it was easy to defeat him before his dialogue started but tbh for characters like Jiren and Goku Black it's not like they could have done much. They only appear in one arc and the only what if you can really do with them is what if they won. So they tried their best with what they had but yeah compared to the other what ifs the Jiren and Goku Black one were definetly at the bottom of the barrel.
Hmm I think Goku Black as a Crazy what if could have had like, a redemption arc.
And maybe with Jiren they could do somenthing that makes him show up in universe 7 early, or really just show some of his life and feats prior to super.
It's not like they shied away from introducing charachter model that haven't shown up in the base game anyway.
I think the devs are restricted on how much they can add to a character's story. That's left up to the ones in charge of Dragon ball
I find the Frieza what if so frustrating because Cooler is in it...and he's absolutely wasted. It's such a tease. Cooler is a non canon character from the movies so the opportunity to see him in a what if of a canon event should be special. But he fights Hit and he sucks in his brothers What If. Yeah sure, movie wise he's weak in comparison to Super era characters but who cares?! The good version of this what if would be Cooler and Frieza fighting against Cabba, Kale, and Caulifla then Kefla as part of their weird Saiyan Revenge plan. Then Cooler teams up with Frost to betray Frieza and Frieza and a partner the player gets to choose (Goku, Vegeta, Android 17, or even a Pride Trooper). You could even have the ending be after Cooler and Frost lose they get erased by Zeno. Just anything but him just existing as a side piece to the what if
Ya truly a wasted opportunity
12:16 plus vegeta unlocks super saiyan 2 during this what if
Ya I didn't realize that whilst playing lol, still doesn't bump it up in the rankings for me
Sparking zero makes super sayian blue in my opinion look so much better.
Honestly, agreed
Bro every time I try to do vegeta’s brainwashing thing where you get the other ending it never works and it never gives me two options
Is your game broken?
You first have to fight Super Saiyan Kid Trunks and beat him WITHOUT physically getting hit. Not even once.
I swear I got hit by him and still had the option
@@MartyN2A Maybe it was a KI blast instead, since you can still meet the requirements, just not with physical hits.
I think the Gohan Black was WAY better than the anime and manga versions of the Goku Black arc, in my opinion. Not only this made Gohan a more pragmatic character, actively preparing for the worst at the first chance he got rather than taking Beerus’s word at face value about the erasure of Zamasu like the anime, but not only did he learn the Evil Containment Wave, but actually succeeded in using the technique, which was the key factor to victory and actually saving Trunks’s timeline, saving us from another garbage, meaningless ending! This also doesn’t undermine Trunks’s theme; that together, mortals can overcome difficult odds, even if said obstacles are gods, but Zamasu almost merging with the universe, and needing Grand Zeno(the God of Gods) coming in and erasing everything, including Trunks’s home, just takes a dump on all that and made the entire arc pointless!
Agree with a lot of what you said haha, that's why I put gohan black no 1
@ About the point of Gohan not fighting having that sparring match against Present Zamasu in Universe 10. I theorized that that was the original plan but got scrapped for some reason. Because Gohan does fight Future Zamasu as a Super Saiyan 2, even though he realistically he should have used Ultimate considering the situation and against Gohan Black considering he was the stronger one of the duo.
I don't care what everyone say. Black gohan is the true canon fo super future trunks saga.
If only 🥲
Come on you are being too harsh on the jiren what if
The ending is pretty good, and i can't believe they got the roshi vs jiren fight from the manga lol
Idk, guess I'm not a big jiren fan
Can’t believe man put Jiren’s under Goku Black’s. ALL of Goku Black mode sucks ASS
You didn't listen to my reasoning did you. I said they're interchangeable...
@@MartyN2A Not to get too polarized about a videogame but thats still shocking.
Much like the first of Trunk’s what ifs you mention Jirens path serves as a good alternate ending to the saga, and would’ve made Jiren a decent character if it had happened.
Goku Blacks is just yapping about mortals, and “then they won”. Not even shwoing him fight against other universes or anything like that. Clear bottom, not even interchangeable.
Cool, feel free to make your own list 👍
Bro it's his opinion, it doesn't matter, you can't force anyone to do anything. If you disagree make your own damn list
Frieza's what if could've been number one
They just had to do better
I'd love to fight Dyspo as Burter
Right?? Dyspo vs Burter is the fight we needed
Why isn’t gohan stepping up to spopobich at the very last it was just a fight and it went exactly like the main story except shin just paralyzes u meaning NOTHING changes plus why can they show goku black and zamasu going thru the plan not in a fkn slideshow lien show them obliterating planets galaxies the universe and flying towards another Tilly hey get confronted
You gotta add some periods in there sir
That was really it? Every single one of those sucked ass
Lol fair enough
1:20 honestly i wish the og story did rnd this way
But then the power of friendship wouldn't have won 😳
@MartyN2A I think it woulda better established that there is a higher level goku has to achieve. Similar to his speech in super broly. And it woulda added a lot to jiren's development to go from "I can be the only winner. And strive above all" to "I respect goku and all the fighters today." Or something like that. Like he'll be less of s cold character and winning would allow him to open up.
It wouldn't have worked in the anime
@thedarkavenger2928 nah I think it totally fits. Plus it would been a great allusion to the song wu kong tale. Idk if u guys remember the theory a while back but apparently it goes something like jiren represents Buddha and well goku is song wu kong. And in one of the tales song wu kon actually loses his first fight with buddha and gains a lesson in the end.
Kinda not a big fan of not having any really wacky sh*t in the what ifs (except obviously gohan black), no new fusions, no new forms and sh*t
They should've made one where caulifla achieved ssj3, or made some changes to the future trunks TOP arc where he gets god ki and use ssg similar to dragon ball heroes
Heck i wouldn't mind a super saiyan rosé 2 from goku black in desperation when he realizes zamasu is no longer with him
THESE WHAT IFs AREN'T WACKY ENOUGH
They never would've allowed the game to create new forms. Especially for characters that exist in the manga, so I never expected that
@@MartyN2A not necessarily the manga but why not original forms, or dragon ball super heroes ones? 😅
It's kinda weird they aren't allowed to do so
That's not really up to them tho so I can't blame the developers for it
Excuse me but did you say GOHAN BLACK????
Yes... did I spoil it for you? 😂
Interesting
👍
Some of these what ifs really come off as weak and heavily trying to lead to the original story like jiren wishing for the restortation of the universe anyway or ssj2 gohan controlling his emotions but cell blowing himself up anyway, it just feels lame?
So you wanted stuff that really veered off the path huh
Never seen such a vegeta meatrider in my life yo 😭
Lol I know right, putting his what ifs at number 4 and 9, I might as well bend over and let him fill me up
@@MartyN2A aye man
, say man 🤷🏻♂️ whatever floats your boat. Vegetable just gets canonically stomped by almost every villain at least once 😂 dude can never get a W.
Still fw the vid ❤️ 😘
Lol appreciate it 👌
The only good What If was the one where Goku and Vegeta both go Super Saiyan early. The cutscenes in this game are ass.
I disagree that's the only good what-if. But for sure some cutscenes have more effort put in than others
Though the story mode is disappointing. What I am pretty excited about is the next installment to the sparking line. Since they likely spent most of their time on the mechanics and gameplay during development of Sparking zero, and with the game’s mechanics only needing polishing with a few patches down the line, the next release can really allow developers to focus on a proper story mode just like the 2nd tenkaichi with elements from the 3rd and then some to really amp up the game. All speculation but with a lot of the heavy and time consuming development work out of the way now, sparking’s next game could be the best one yet.
I like your optimism haha
Very fucking trash story. DBZ kakarot still the most accurate one.
Damn you're REALLY not a fan huh 😅
These are kinda mid
Haha ok
5
5 is your favourite?
The story and the what ifs was all in all shitty comparednto bg3.
I don't think the what-ifs are "shitty." Disappointed with how they presented the story tho
