In this video I compare DBFZ and DBSZ super moves.
Surprisingly, some DBFZ Super Moves look better, but DBSZ wins overall.
Both games are truly visual masterpieces and a treat to watch.

It's crazy how good DBFZ looks, it's the closest we will ever get to a game that looks almost exactly like the anime
Sparking better fn
@@isaiahalcala1872let’s not lie
FighterZ looks better than the anime
@@wood5596 He's not. FighterZ is too blocky, Toriyama's artstyle which shintani and toyotaro are close to is much more reflective in Sparking Zero
That's probably because of how the models are literally manipulated to produce angles that would be normal for Dragon Ball IIRC
I still think Fighterz looks so good. Literally my dream DBZ game. I don't really think anything will be able to beat it for me.
Sparking Zero beats it

@@bongumusangcobo4474 not really, no
@@bongumusangcobo4474you do know it’s his opinion right? Are we reading the same comment or are you just a stan to sparking zero?
FighterZ manages to make it snappy and also true to the source material. It is a traditional fighting game so if the super is too long, it would kill the pace of the actual fighting game part.
dafuq did yamchi do to deserve this
Its Yamcha who else is more perfect 😂

Poor Yamcha bro
I recommend watching TFS DBZ Abridged 👍. The Yamcha death and Krillin death count jokes never stop.
The cheating on Bulma and it's consequences
One of the biggest things holding Sparking Zero back from having really awesome ultimates is the size of the beams. In Fighterz, a beam will literally cover the entire screen but Sparking Zero consists of the same size no matter what.
also the weird smoke effect, the weirdly shiny shader on the models and the ultimate beam hit effects
In Sparking Zero a Masenko is somehow bigger than a Final Flash. Also, most explosions or impacts lack any camera shake compared to FighterZ.
I think it's the lack of screen shake
@@c01onelGood thing is modding exists
The beams are manga accurate
This is apples and oranges. They both are great in their own right 😊
The true answer
U spittin
This is exactly what I was gonna comment people just don't understand
@@sentryprimeI mean, Fighterz is just straight up better if we're purely comparing the animation. There's just no contest and it would be dishonest to say they're in the same level, BUT, for the absolute monumental amount of characters that they had to animate in Sparking Zero, and the type of game it's, they made a damn good job too.
@@CableSpark872 thing is no one is taking that away from fighterz though it's probably gonna be the best looking dragon ball game for a good while I mean look at all the arc system games they are stunning, I just think that people should realize that you can't just compare everything and then call one bad when they are incomparable
It’s really not a fair fight to me, because FighterZ has such control over the models and camera angle when animating, they can make it so that every attack looks perfect at all times, physically distorting the characters for some shots to make the actions as clear and impactful as possible. Sparking Zero has a lot of sometimes goofy looking frames that aren’t on screen for long but I notice them way too often, Sparking zero definitely isn’t done poorly, but it can’t compete with ArcSys in terms of animation.
Yeah in my opinion the dragon fist animation looks kinda weird in SZ
That argument only works with xenoverse. Good portion of the attacks in sparking take over both the player attacking and the person being attacked screen so there is literally nothing stopping them from warping the models.
@@CodyslxAlso the facial expressions on FighterZ are 9999 times better. The way the characters move on cutscene too... On Sparking Zero they look like lifeless video game characters to me for some reason, on FighterZ they look like they're ripped straight from the anime lol
The biggest one for me is vegeta’s face during the final atonement in sz. He looks HORRIBLE
@@Codyslx id say the main problem is probably how high quality the models need to be, Sparking Zero has A LOT of characters and it’s a lot harder to justify giving all of them high quality models that are capable of being warped and animated in such detail when you can only get full use of it with the moves that take control of the camera. Higher quality models would’ve improved ALL the animations but for the sake of artstyle consistency you would have to give everyone good models and that’s already a tall order even before any of the DLC.
The best part about fighterz is that they warp the model and have great camera work to make the game look more like the anime. In sparking they don’t do that as much with the most glaring example so far being kefla where one shot at a angle showing off a really flat face
Oh hey you’re learning how 3D works.
Name me a single 3D anime game that accurately does justice to its 2D anime counterpart and I'll wait. FYI, anime styles in 3D are not as easy as what they do in 2D.

@@TheSCPStudioGuilty gear strive, not surprising since it's the same devs who made DBFZ
In the 3d space, Sparking is how the game supposed to look and feel, just like how the anime is. FighterZ is the embodiment of how the anime "runs" in frames.
DBFZ just has so much love and effort put into it, it looks ripped right out of the anime. Not to undersell SZ's animation, but 3D will never compare to 2D animation. Or i guess for FighterZ it's 3D2D
No fighterZ is completely 3D. They just warp the models to achieve a certain look in the animation but those are completely 3d models and aren't something SZ couldn't do.
@@CodyslxInsane cap. Fighterz is 2.5D. Get your facts straight mr. Einstein.

We are so blessed to live in a timeline where we have both of these masterpieces
Sparking zero is missing alot of impact that fighterZ and even BT3 had, like the devs were inspired by the obnoxiously smooth 120fps 6k ai interpellated edits of the scenes in the shows/movies
Arena is much larger than bt3 and fighterz though
@@Wizofmincraft idk why that means no screen shake, or anything to sell the impact of the hits or explosions after so slow camera sweeps for every ultimate attack
Some problems I have with SZ,
SFX is mixed really quietly compared to other sounds for some reason, even when you turn up SFX to 100 in-game. Good example is Tien's Neo Tri-Beam, SZ you can't there's like no SFX for when he fires them. Even in Raging Blast 1/2 and BT3 you could clearly hear the firing sound of each Tri-Beam.
Compared to FighterZ, SZ's supers sometimes have too much slow motion, and hits and explosions lack impact due to no camera shake. Example, see Yamcha's Wolf Fang Fist. SZ's version is slower hits, random slow motion at the end, and no camera shake at all creates a lack of impact to any of the hits.
Also, why are the beams in SZ so thin? Look at Final Flash. I feel like that would be an easy fix.
It needs camera shakes yeah
They probably need to cut corners somewhere to meet their deadline, and the most obvious ones are the beam sizes and those slides.
It kinda sucks but I'll take it anyway since we finally got a true sequel for Budokai Tenkaichi, and as long as they'll make improvements once Sparking Zero 2 comes.(In 5+ years)😂
@@watermelonpizza7824dont give them excuses
@@watermelonpizza7824Finally someone with a peaceful mindset. This worls is becoming absolutely garbage, and we need more chill people like you.
So the beam head is actually fairly large.
The stem is pathetically thin although funnily enough they are taking inspiration from the source material itself( beams aren't always huge in the shows)
An easy fix is to just increase the overall size of the beam "root". This is the fastest way to give players that illusion that the beams are huge.
For now the dragon ball game with the coolest looking beams goes to DB Kakarot

FACTS
@@armin_does_stuf2713it’s ok to be wrong
@@denisn8336it isn’t that deep
A lot of people are acting as if SZ can't do the same stuff as FighterZ, but both are 3D and both use camera angles that take away your control in a similar way. They could achieve the exact same things if they wanted to, but a lot of the characters in fighterz were also dlc, from a developer that is already a masterclass in 2D fighting games. Expecting the same kind of expertise would be a bit unfair, while it also must've taken a lot of effort to get down the anime look in a fully 3D environment compared to a game that often returns to one select camera angle.
So just acting like SZ cannot achieve what FighterZ did isn't exactly true, but they did not have the same starting point nor the same timeframe. Plus, I presume they didn't just want to copy fighterZ blatantly, no matter how perfect it nails the anime look, and there's merit in wanting to deliver their own take on how to animate it. I prefer FighterZ personally, but I appreciate SZ does its own thing.
too many characters in Sparking Zero are way too skinny ! like almost all the Saiyans, but especially the bulky ones like Kaioken and SSJ3 Goku... my man really needs to eat, I'm worried about him
+ the size of the beams
I hope it will be fixed soon
I thought I was just delusional when I realized how skinny they were. Especially ssj4 goku
SZ just feels like its missing the impact that fighterz has.
It's the camera shake that feels lacking
If the effects weren't so good SZ would be even worse🤦🏾♂️
Have you played it yourself? It feels as impactful as FZ.
@@rumuelnathanael8043 no im going off of gameplay footage, I don't got too much funding atm
@rumuelnathanael8043 no it doesn't. The sound effects and vfx do not sell the impact behind these attacks. A final flash in sz a literal needle.
With the amount of characters within Sparking Zero it’s difficult to give same amount the attention to detail to create the perfect charm that Fighterz has in each and every character
Fighterz has a shit ton of characters and everyone plays diferent
Yes but we’re talking about 21 playable characters on release of Fighterz (total of 44 after 3-4 years of DLC) compared to 182 characters playable straight from the get-go
like 91 unique characters and like 180 characters and transformations
Not a valid excuse or reason
@@LegacyRap7777 completely valid excuse or reason lol
I was just talking with someone about this. A big thing for me was the voice acting in dbfz sounds so much better. The best example is Cell's solar Kamehameha, there is no love in the SZ version (English)
I'll even say in Japanese the VAs sound a tad tired in Sparking too, I know theyre old (especially Nozawa god bless her you can hear her straining for Kid Goku) but there's more energy in FighterZ
The rush attacks in SZ feel really stiff and impactless sometimes. The game looks amazing, but whenever the characters have to move a lot the models fell very stiff, specially in the cutscenes.
Both? Both? Both is good
the way the camerawork is done in fighterz puts it really high as well
1:16 - holy shit they polished the impact frames like hell. It looks hand drawn now :O
the main thing fighterz does better in my opinion are the sound effects and beam design.
beam design is self explanatory, but the sound effects add extra impact to the attacks. in sparking zero, it feels empty because the voice actors carry the sound for the attacks, rather than the sound of the attack itself.
If they just added some more “oomph” to the voice lines in SZ it would feel so much better IMO. Instead of ka-me-ha-me-ha, give us ka-me-ha-me-HAAAAAAAAAAAA…!!!
The worst part of SZ visually is definitely the weird hair physics. It looks fine on base characters, but wtf is that SSJ3. It looks like a wet mop
Yeah idk what's up with ss3 gokus hair, it looks fine on gotenks and gt goku but Z gokus doesn't look right. The shape of it is all wrong. Looks all stringy and thin.
No matter how good a fully 3D game might look, it will never compare to how ArcSys captures anime motion and art.
After making it about a quarter of the way through the whole video, everything ive seen so far leads me to go Fighterz. Visually, sparking had more tools to work with and you can definitely see it. Its so clean and i love everything about it. Tenkaichi is back. What it lacks is soul. That umpf. That feeling of speed and power with certain moves. The cinematics. That increase in decibels. The backgrounds.
Theres a lot that fighterz did right. Fighterz doesn't just randomly place rocks to fill out a stage. Yhats a complete recreation of the saiyan saga battlefield between goku and vegeta, and the plains that les up to the canyon. Everything is carefully crafted with intent. It captures the anime so much closer than sparking. This doesnt deter me from sparking, but i definitely cant grade sparking the same as fighterz.
In so many words, sparking looks like the anime, but fightsrz looks and feelz like the anime. To be fair, sparking is coming out of the gate with over 100 characters, continuing its tradition of larger roster than before. Sure it will cost more than before due to micros, but ill happily pay it. Tenkaichi was my childhood and its one of yhe few games that captured my attention for 100s of hours between me and my friends. No online, just friends and a good time. The single player mode was always phenomenal.

FighterZ look way to much like the anime
DBFZ looks closer to the actual anime, but for me what sells SZ is the fact that it feels like im actually in the anime due to other stuff such as beam clashes, grab clashes, power scaling and etc, even if it doesnt look exactly like an anime, it feels more like the anime, if that makes sense.
They did a really really good job with Sparking Zero! Credits where it's due. I love those cell-shaded styles and the bright popping colours! They're orgasmic to my eyes.
They are both good in different ways. It depends on which one you like better.
Damn, Vegito doesn't do the MVC2 Captain Commando reference in Sparking Zero.
What did Yamcha do to deserve all of this 😭
It's not what he do, but what he didnt do
idk I think the explosions just look better in fighterz. but I love both games, they're both visually amazing in their own right
it's good to see that Sparking Zero isn't just another soulless arena fighter, it looks as good as Budokai Tenkaichi 3 from 17 years ago. Also, 18:00 is a nice feature Arc Sys applied to FighterZ, reminding that insane Z Broly even while it's Super Broly.
It's just Tenkaichi 4. So if you enjoyed those games you will enjoy sparking zero. Playing it feels very nostalgic.
fighterz looks like that not only because arcsys is amazing at what they do but also because a 2d fighter can have more animation liberties
FighterZ: Stays at one place
Sparkling Zero: You can freely move around the area
Sparking Zero is the best Dragon Ball game ever, the combat is super smooth .
Comparing a fully 3d game to 2.5d is something
3:05 Well, it's Yamcha. Let me make ABSOLUTELY sure.
While I give probs to Sparking Zero for making it look visually spectacular. Arcsys still manages to capture the attacks to make it so anime-like and cinematic. And when you look at behind the scenes, you’ll understand why camera shots are everything.
What many don't get is that it's intentional.
DBFZ went after the aesthetics of peak-DBZ movies, while Sparking Zero went after Shintani's DBS Broly. Wobbly, unpolished linework, small beams... We've seen this already in DBS Broly.
The debate about FZ and SZ proves how divisive Shintani's work was, wich resonated strongly among the fans only because around that time DBS fans were desperate for a graphical update.
Guess it's just an issue of SZ not doing a very good job at sticking to shintani's style. Look at gogeta's hair volume for example. It's way too much compared to the movie, fighterZ does a much better job at adapting that aspect. Same for vegito.
Kefla's model looks so weird in sparking zero
Yeah she's supposed to be diesel as fuck in her ssj2 form but she's still a stick.
It's hard to compare an arcade fighter to an arena fighter but still a great video
People are forgetting that FighterZ looks anime accurate because it’s 2D
Edit: Also, Sparking Zero’s moves are anime accurate which can make them look less interesting to those who want a more gamecentric style.
The models look fine more often than not it's the lighting like you can tell when they cared like during Goku's super Saiyan spirit bomb
I honestly never need another DBZ game ever again. We have two of the best ever. FighterZ for competitive. And Sparking Zero for casual fun.
No need to compare, you can love them both. Like a father with their kid, both different and both loved
FighterZ: Spirit Bomb (Frieza)
Sparking Zero: Super Spirit Bomb (Buu)
0:48 Did I hear Yamcha say “Chotto matte kure-!”
Sparking Zero looks like 100x better. I'm glad I will finally enjoy a Dragonball game again.
I don't understand why ppl love sparking zero its honestly just like every other anime arena fighter. There two things I hate, the tournament of power can't support more than 2 characters. The what if stories are like liquid sewage, is it hard to include the fusion between goku and Gohan. Exactly my point. And don't give the argument of game development is hard, stfu life is hard just be better at your job
Sparking Zero really nails the 3d verticality and feeling of a DBZ fight, but FighterZ is absolutely unmatched with its aesthetic thanks to how it uses 2D to its advantage. Comparing the two games is honestly kinda unfair given how different they are.
Seems like the thumbnail alone shows the better one but both are good lol
Sparking Zero can't compete with FighterZ. Because FighterZ has static camera angles for being a 2 fighter. So arch system took advantage of that to create a pipeline were they have artist manually going in frame by frame and correcting the mistakes the engine algorithm made in the anime like shading. They also can draw 2 VFX, actions lines, etc that fit nicely with the scene without looking flat or with weird perspective. This is why if you take a screenshot at any moment of FighterZ it looks like a 2D hand drawing like the anime.
Sparking Zero being a fully 3D game with random camera angle controller by the player can't really do that. They do a little in the fixed camera angle of the super moves, finishers and cutscenes to add flavor, but they didn't do the extent FighterZ does to maintain consistency of presentation (it would be jarring if the cutscene moves are anime like and the game is more game like). The only way I can see they do something better in 3D is sometime in the future when AI is good and fast enough with widespread hardware support on consoles and PC, they use AI to clean up every frame. Until them this is the best we will have in a 3D fighter.
They could do only tweaks. Like when ki or beam charging close to the ground the particles effect pass directly through the ground. It would be great if there was a Shockwave of particles hitting the ground and dissipating outward, signaling the ki pushing the wind against the ground. I think the older Tenkaichi even hard that. Also it would be great if it was possible to spawn crates when a beam hit the ground.
The thing with SZ's animation is that most of it are good but lacking in camera shake, antic, and body distortion that can elevate the impact further. Example are the Big Spirit Bomb-like attacks, most of them could be improved if the animation in throwing them had more antic and if the attack was a lot more slower selling the fact that its a big heavy ball of energy. It's one of my biggest nitpicks from the BT/Sparking series. It's the price for 180+ characters I guess. I wish they update them in the future but I think were stuck with it.
Fighterz has infinitely better character models, if they use them it would be perfection.
Im not a game designer but porting 2d models to a 3d game doesnt really make sense
@@Parker976 The fighterZ models aren't truly "2D." They're actually cleverly designed 3d models that imitate the 2D style.
But due to that, they still wouldn't really fit into a full on 3d arena fighter game.
@@natethestrange_yt6094 the models have been exported online if you want to look its been proven that the accurate proportions work way better than whatever they’re doing for sparking zero
10:11 thats a world ending calamity right there lmao
I really don't like how every beam has the same size in Sparking.
The Final Flash being that small feels wrong.
SSJ4 looks so clean in sparking zero
FighterZ engine and how its built allows it to be prettier artistically but Sparking Zero is a bigger inmersion in the fights, at least to me
As much as i love zero i dont think any dragon ball game would look as beautiful ik some people don't 2d fighters but you have to admit the graphics are god tier
your beams (Sparking Zero) vs the beams (Fighterz) she tells you not to worry about
Watching people argue about which looks better seems so pointless. Both games are graphically beautiful.
Sparking zeros animations look lack luster but the effects realky help it
DBFZ holds angles likes the anime, so they can stay true to positions you may recognize. Sparking Zero does an amazing job at 3d modeling, so much so that I’d argue that its quality is better only because 3d models are harder.
Sound design and anime like feel though goes to DBFZ, speaking’s feels really weak without the echo.
Videos like this only further reinforces how much I despise Nozawa's Goku voice. I'd rather listen to nails on a chalkboard.
I am not a fan of sparking kaioken. They use the sound effects which i love and i wish fighterz used it but goku is moving so slow. You dont get a sense for the increase in power or speed so it feels lesser even though its offering more than ehat fighterz did
"Chotto matte kure!!"
Famous last words
You can feel the power behind gogeta's movements in fighterZ, even better than the movie.
You should have included destructive finishes. Lol. Set them apart even further.
The tech demo vs the custom engine the demo led to.
its crazy how good looking fighterz is
Some things look better in FighterZ, some in Sparking Zero. And the best thing is I don't have to choose because I can just play what I'm in the mood for.
I really hope that one day the guys who animated and modeled DBFZ get hired to make a proper, well-funded DBS movie
That's not how it works sadly.
Fighterz looks better however it was designed to be viewed from specific angles. For a 3d arena fighter, sparking 0 is the best we’ve ever gotten (the beams look a bit weird though)
No yamchas were harmed in the making of this video
Sparking all day. Its much easier to make models look good in 2D
Fighterz is a great 2d fighter, sparking is a great 3D fighter both do good in there right. It might be alittle harder to warp 3D models in an arena fighter but both games are great. Plus both are made by two different teams with a lot of love props to them both
Yamcha be like
Chotto matte kure!
Cutscene Simulator vs actual fighting game
ArcSys put so much love into FighterZ. If you don't know how they animate, they basically take 3D models and adjust it frame by frame as if it was a 2D animation, using smears etc. It's tedious work but just shows how much love and hard work they out into making a faithful DB game.
There are also a lot of unique animations that aren't 1 to 1 from the anime, like SSGSS Goku's Dramatic finish with Kefla - with him dodging the initial beams + sliding under one. And this isn't to mention the countless other unique voicelines and interactions with characters everywhere (so many videos of them + hidden ones).
Tldr; DBFZ is imo, a beautiful game that still holds up 6 years later visually and imo way better than SZ. And just saying, $10 cheaper on initial release :Caught:

Holy shit DBFZ Caulifla/Kefla is so good
If Ultimate Gohan still had Super Explosive Wave like in the earlier games, it probably could've been compared with the level up super from FighterZ.
The cel shading in Fighter Z looks far superior worthy of current gen
I like both and got to give to ZS that is actually competing in equal ground to Fighterz unlike XV1 and 2 which feels it always had to hold back due it's engine, but Fighterz does have the advantage of distilling the attacks to it's most important key frames for the sake of brevity which makes the impact hit more most of the time while ZS gives you way more detail which can be subjectively better but also feel padded out if you like the brevity of Fighterz' supers.
Wasn't an engine thing with xenoverse, it was just the way the game was designed with fast pace combat. No time for long drawn out cinimatics unless you want to get stamina broken. They tried a thing with Beast Gohan by adding a second variant that locks the player into the animation so they can't get out, but if your doing a 2v2 or a 3v3. Both players are literally sitting in place till the animations done so it looks awkward.
Dbzf is a fighting classic like marvel vs capcom but sparking zero is like the smash bro of dbz both great in their own way
FighterZ is manga/anime accurate. I mean the character models matches the anime character models. I mean almost every character looks thinner than how they look in the anime. I mean look at Goku’s ultimate in the 1st few seconds he looks soo thin in SZ. In fighterZ Goku arm’s are wide like someone that trains almost every day. Kefla looks 100% better in fighterZ I mean she actually haves muscles while in SZ her arms looks like twigs. Spike did a bad job on a lot of their characters. I mean ssg goku and vegeta doesn’t even get thin like how they are supposed to be when going ssg. Crowbcat needs to do a soul and soulless video about SZ. Imo SZ is soulless. It’s a cash grab the single player content is just barebones. In bt3 I remember u can find dragonballs in mountains and buildings but in SZ u randomly get one from winning a single player match. Plus the story mode is straight up ASS compared to bt2-3.
Oh and the character select screen for SZ is garbage. I mean why did they have to take up slots with transformations? They should had done what they did with bt3 where u pick goku mid and u can then get to select his SS1 form. But nope I have to scroll through a bunch of goku’s and vegeta’s to get to the dbs characters or the villains. Character selection is messy. Plus removing characters from ur team is dumb instead of letting u press O u have to click the remove button on each character that u wanna remove from ur team it’s kind of annoying.
You honestly can't compare them. They're both amazing in their own right.
FighterZ clearly draws inspiration from the anime. Sparking Zero wants to push the boundaries of graphics in general.
Have to say Cell looks amazing in SZ. Wish Goku was a bit bulkier at times.
