Dragon Ball Sparking Zero isn’t even a week old, and there are already accusations of cheaters spoiling the experience of some users by abusing the Ki refill system.
In all fairness, it’s not necessary to play online to enjoy Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. The offline side has plenty of amazing content in it to keep you engaged for tens of hours at least. But playing online against other players is a great way to test your skills, as long as everyone plays fair. Unfortunately, a clip has surfaced that clearly shows that at least a small part of the community could be cheating (unintentionally, perhaps) to win unfairly.
Does Dragon Ball Sparking Zero have cheaters?
Things have been going pretty smoothly for Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, which has received plenty of positive reactions from fans all over the world. Unfortunately, at least a small part of the community might be misusing a mod to behave unfairly in online contests.
Based on the post made by Reddit user JokingBR2The-Sequel, a minute-long clip showcases a worrying incident. While the OP was using Gogeta, the opponent was using Kefla. Unfortunately for the OP, any attempts to raise Gogeta’s Ki bars were interrupted by Kefla consistently spamming her super, Gigantic Ray.
As visible on the clip itself, Kefla’s Ki bar never reduced irrespective of how many times Gigantic Ray was spammed. That shouldn’t have been the case in the first place. It’s pretty clear that the Kefla user was using cheats of some kind, and the possible reason could have been a mod on Nexusmods.
Several users on the Reddit post mentioned how a mod used to reduce the costs of Ultimate Blast and Z Burst Dash to 0 somehow managed to work online. The last time I checked using the link, the mod had been deleted (thankfully). For the record, the mod shouldn’t have worked online, but it did, which also showcases that Dragon Ball Sparking Zero might not have any anti-cheat software on it.
With the mod now removed, one can only hope that the game’s online experience will be free of any form of unfair gameplay. Be it Ranked or casual, online battles should test player skills and their ability to control the characters they choose.
Can you instantly refill your Ki bar in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero?
Recharging or refilling your Ki bar is pretty easy – just press the R2 button. But yes, you can’t just keep it pressed at all times, as recharging will leave you vulnerable to attacks. Similarly, performing your attacking moves like Ki Blast will also empty the bar (otherwise, people will just abuse the system from a distance and never get into melee combat).
If you do notice a user’s Ki bar recharging automatically at any point, this could be another mod mentioned by a Reddit user in the comments of the above Reddit post.
Hopefully, these reports in the Dragon Ball Sparking Zero community will not reoccur, and players worldwide will be able to enjoy the gameplay without any form of undue influence.
