Overview

• The latest update for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, version 2006.005.003.004.003, introduces access to all 12 stages in local multiplayer, removing previous restrictions to just one stage.
• Key combat mechanics have been overhauled, including nerfs to the Afterimage skill and instant Sparking mode, which previously led to imbalances in ranked mode.
• Character-specific adjustments include reduced health for giant characters like Great Ape Vegeta and Dr. Wheelo, and changes to abilities for Android 19, Super Vegito, and others.
• The update also implements new gameplay features, such as High-Speed Dragon Dash, and adjusts the functionality of moves like Z-Counter and Rush Ki Blasts to improve competitive play.
• While the patch has been widely praised by the community, some bugs and ranked mode balance issues remain, and Bandai Namco has yet to address the shallow single-player content.
