‘Move Specific’ Saiyan Transformations
One of the most exciting things about hearing a real Dragon Ball fighter is coming is thinking about all the ways Super Saiyan transformations could impact your battle and change your strategy. There have been a few different ideas about what it will take to reach even more powerful Saiyan forms in the game.
Initially, it seemed as if additional transformations past the first Super Saiyan form would utilize mechanics very similar to Street Fighter V’s V Trigger. It’s a little disappointing that this doesn’t seem to be the case but also understandable considering not every character is even a Saiyan to begin with. According to a representative from Bandai Namco, different Saiyan transformations are actually “move specific.” In other words, they will not be available as new forms your character will remain in to receive additional stat boosts or abilities.
There is, however, another form that will provide the very same thing. Spark Mode can be activated or will automatically be activated once both of the other characters on your team have been defeated. While details about this mode were rather vague, it was mentioned that this mode will deliver a damage boost. It’s unclear at this time, however, what other perks may come with this mode being activated.
