Summary
Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZEROis the latestDragon Ballfighting game in the works, and like any fighting game, a tier list will inevitably follow. In almost any fighting game, there will inevitably be some characters who have stronger performances than others. For a game likeDragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, which is pulling characters of various power levels from a franchise that has been around for several decades, discrepancies in strength are a certainty, especially considering the roster size of previousDragon Ballfighting games. The game’s full roster isn’t known yet, but some guesses can still be made.
There will be severaltypes of fighters inDragon Ball: Sparking! ZEROjust from the nature of the series itself. While most fighters look absurdly impressive in several categories due to the way the fights are paced, some notable distinctions can be pointed out. For instance, characters like Recoome and Android 16 are not exactly lacking speed, but their toughness and raw strength are their main weapons. On the flip side, Frieza is a solid example of a character that can cause serious destruction without coming close to the enemy.Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZEROwill likely emphasize these distinctions for the sake of variety.
Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO’s Tier Lists Could Prove Interesting
Probable High Tiers: Dragon Ball All-Stars
With so many versions ofGoku and Vegeta inDragon Ball Sparking! ZERO, including several Super Saiyan forms, it would be a shock if none of them ended up being at or near the game’s top tier. Even in just the first trailer, several ofDragon Ball’s most powerful fighters have been confirmed. Frieza, Cell, and Majin Buu were all terrifyingly strong villains, and Jiren is both stated and shown to be one of the most powerful characters in existence. In terms of canon power levels, these would be the best candidates for the higher tiers.
Probably Mid-Tiers: Strong Fighters, But Not Explosively So
With the ridiculous power levels of the series, many of the competentfighters revealed forDragon Ball Sparking! ZEROmay not reach top tier simply because of how high the ceiling is. Android 18 is the most borderline case, since she is a consistent powerhouse with an impressive set of skills. Likewise, Piccolo and Trunks are valuable members of the Z Fighters, but they have been consistently overshadowed by the more powerful protagonists like Goku and Vegeta. These fighters will likely be mid-tier overall, but they shouldn’t be counted out as solid contenders.
Probable Low-Tiers: Dragon Ball’s Most Overshadowed Combatants
Unfortunately, some characters inDragon Ballfell behind the curve in terms of power. Even though it would be difficult to call Krillin, Tien, and Yamchaunexpected characters inDragon Ball Sparking! ZERO, they are far from the most powerful characters in the series. Granted, they still have some notable skills, like Tien’s Tri-Beam and Yamcha’s Wolf Fang Fist, so they may have a chance to escape the bottom tier. Mr. Satan, on the other hand, has been a joke character since his debut, so it would take a miracle for him to be anything but inDragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO.
There won’t be enough information to make tier lists forDragon Ball Sparking! ZEROuntil a fair bit after its release, but fans can make a few educated guesses already. Once thecompetitive scene forDragon Ball Sparking! ZEROsettles, an established meta will follow shortly afterward. For now, the only things that fans have to go on are the canonical power levels of the characters in question.Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO’s roster is still rolling out, and it will be interesting to see where everyone’s true power levels lie.
