This is the worst ONLINE fighting game ever

[[Sane]]

It's only about online and not single player content ect. (maybe a little)
Ban Rage quitters / Leavers instantly, no remorse. Playing for 1000h and only leave 2 times? doesn't matter, perma ban.

Sure, it's mostly made for absolute casuals, but then why add ranked at all? so unbalanced and that certain characters have a whole HP bar more or super armor. Yajirobi??? Hes been "nerfed" but lets be real, they should have just gave him 1 sensu bean per match but whatever. BT3 was also unbalanced but there was no online, only in the Wii version and the connection sucked.

No idea what it's called, "after image"? I'm not sure, but i only play against characters who have after image, of course you have to block or play with ki blasts, but it's still absolutely annoying and no fun.

One of the worst things in the game is "vanish war". if you do team battles then you almost can't finish a match because the time is running out. Time is running out because 80% of the entire match is just vanish, vanish, vanish and so on. The worst and most boring mechanic I've played in a fighting game. You vanish until someone no longer has any ki left. My idea here would be that after the 3rd vanish or so, it gets faster and faster until someone screws up, because at the moment it's absolutely boring to play and even more boring to watch, for example tournaments.

But the worst thing by far are the Players / Community.
How can it be that when you play ranked, 99% never accept a rematch, you want to learn how to play and get better, right? Not only that, but if I lose to someone and I rematch and than i start to win? They instantly ALT + F4.

I played Tekken 7 and 8 together for about 900h, Street Fighter 6 for 100h+, Grandblue vs for 30h and DB FighterZ for 400h+ and in all those hours combined I haven't seen Rage Quitter / Leaver as often as I did in Sparking Zero and I have only about 40 hours. Thats actually insaaaaaane.

I'd rather get kicked in the balls every day than play just one more SZ online match.

Now something about the single player.
For the most part I just think it's "good". Sure they could have done the story a bit better, but I think the difficulty is good the way it is. I think the what if's are neat and the self-created episodes are also good.

What I find very sad is that there are almost no costumes for characters. I don't count the "destroyed costumes" for goku and vegeta because for me it's not a real costume. They could have done so much more.
For Goku, for example, they could have made it so that all versions of Goku could all wear the same costumes. Imagine Goku-Ui with Yadrat costume. Fire.

Or the outfits goku and vegeta wore in the super broly movie, or even coloring our costumes how we like. This would be soooo good. Even if would only would have had alternative colors like in DB Figterz. Or Black Gohan costume. He is in the game so why not the costume for him? There are so many missed opportunities that the modders make with newly added costumes, which I really appreciate, but that's the job of the developers.

Yea it lags quite often, maybe because there are to many players or the servers are just bad idk, but often times its almost impossible to super counter

"Why add ranked at all?"

Exactly, but they need to sale to the clout/Stream chasers, mainly for increased marketing.

They only chase clout in the game because they don't need to learn deep complex concepts. Rather grind the mashing, only using the meta. You simply just have to play all day.

Tenkaichi is only remembered in the way it was, because nobody made money by just playing and chasing clout in the way you can today. Extreme meta wasn't important to the average gamer in the past, before being a tuber was a thing.

I mean, gaming and anime/manga. Got REALLY popular and mainstream when people realized the can make money off of it. When the jock who would have made fun of gamer back in the day, suddenly has "always been a gamer. Subscribe and join."

It often feels like one person has some sort of host advantage. I would even land grabs, and DURING the cutscene, it would revert the whole thing and show the opponent countering the grab.

Thats because it is NOT an online fighting game

The insane amount of cope here. The reason why Tenkaichi is remembered the way it was is because past Tenkaichi games were designed better and had more content than SZ in addition to having a better local options during a time where online play really didn't exist. It's 2024, not having online play is unacceptable

The game is bad online because its poorly made and designed. It's really not more complicated than that .

It’s p2p match making. About as low effort as you can get.

I agree with pretty much everything you've said here the game has so many poor choices... but then again they literally thought remaking a game from 2007 and then just adding ranked to it was a good idea... Yajirobe and many on the lower DP cost characters are better that ones that cost 5+ Hit costs 8DP and has 3 life bars yajirobe costs 2 and has 2 and a half and a heal skill lul

Not to mention their sh1tty comm error bug... which doesn't allow for anything to happen....

Neat OP then you'd be banned too, eventually you'll get unlucky run the game on a machine that crashes a few times, electrical outage, or your ISP just deciding they want to do maintence while your playing, oh can't forget STEAM maintenance switching the steam client to NO connection on Tuesdays but you decided to play a few minutes before that and are dropped from the match, etc.



What is a good Idea is a BLOCK LIST with no limits, and the ability to put people on said block list when they DC you.

[Hide]

+1 to all of what you said.

The real problem here is: Devs. Don't do ranked mode if your game is incredible unbalanced. It's stupid.

Going online it's just forced to play the same 3 characters if you want to win. I got tired of the afterimage spammers. Oh yeah ki blast everything, that's so funnn...

In DBBT3, the vanish fight was a lot faster and easier to screw up. This should be the case and, two options, the vanish starts to go faster or it's starts a minigame like the clash.

I would love to have a matchamking equally fasts as ranked. But no, the lobby thing is awful, it takes almost 20 minutes to fight with someone if it's not ranked. And if you go rankeds, they go always the same stupid characters spamming the cheese mechanics all over again.

If they balance that, this game would be incredible. The singleplayer mode it's the most fun i had in years i must say.

It is.

Also, online doesn't just mean ranked, they could focus on other concepts for modes. They could have modes that encourage a more casual approach the game is designed for.

Tenkaichi has always been meant for casual play, still uses one button to punch (like Fable 3, lol.)

I vastly preferred Budokai

U ain't alone brotha, had a match against teen gohan and all of a sudden my input were delayed heavily, mf super countered all my ♥♥♥♥ while it was lagging, but when I inputted mine my super counter wasn't responding at all.
