How to Chase Change in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero

The best controls and actual timing for the Chase Change in Sparking Zero

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has a Chase Change mechanic and a tutorial for it, but the tutorial doesn’t explain how to perform a Chase Change properly. Hopefully, Bandai Namco will fix this tutorial soon. Until then, for those of you interested in learning, we’ll go over how to properly perform a Chase Change in Dragon Ball: Sparking!

Best Chase Change Settings in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero

To simplify things, performing a Chase Change in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero needs you to land three light attacks and then press the R3 and L3 keys simultaneously. The R3 key brings up the character change menu and the L3 key selects the character you need. However, the timing and feel for this is incredibly unintuitive, so we suggest changing your settings.

From the Main Menu, go to Options (prompt shown in the lower right corner) > Controls & Camera > Show/Hide Switch Panel > Change it from L3+R3 to R3.

This way, you only need to press R3 to perform a Chase Change attack. You can also set it up so that the Transformation Panel is set to L3 (making it so that the Emote Panel is L3+R3). Now, you just need to master the timing. Pressing L3 usually resulted in the Transformation menu propping up. If you intend to continue with the regular controls, we suggest instead of pressing L3 and R3 at the same time, it’s easier to press R3 first and then lightly tap L3 as you move the R analog stick into the direction you need

How to Perform Chase Change in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero

The timing for the Chase Change is incredibly confusing and can take a good while to master. We’ll try to simplify what you need to do here. After your first three attacks, you have to bring up the change screen first, then flick the stick towards the character you want, and you have to do it while you’re in a neutral state, not during any attack. This might be confusing to understand, but essentially, it means you need to stop thinking of Chase Change as a combo attack and use it as more of a switch move after three hits.

First, we suggest practicing switching characters normally and then applying it during your combos with a bit of pause. Land your first three attacks, then try to time it while your opponent is being knocked back. There is actually a fairly generous window to perform it as long as you’re not rushing the Chase Change.
