SUMMARY

  • Bandai Namco released the customization details as part of a beginners guide for the game.

There’s a lot of customization options in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. Bandai Namco cannot simply put them in a single blog post so it says every character has dedicated stats. But there’s a debate over customization, and we should assume that it’ll be the same as the stats.

Fans noticed a minor change that is leading some of them to speculate that those features aren’t a thing in the game. The blog post featured ki aura and a misspelled scouter as “scooter.” But to judge it too quickly might not be the best course of action. Maybe they are still in there.

This Appears More Like a Typo That Bandai Namco Fixed

When Bandai Namco dropped the beginners guide for the upcoming game, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero fans were all over it, calling it a peak game already. Now that very beginners guide is in question again as they noticed the recent amends.

A fan shared a couple of images—the original and the amended post—for a side-by-side comparison on social network Reddit. Ability items like ‘Halo, Scooter, and Aura’ are now replaced with ‘speed, strength, and HP’.

In the new updated info, it no longer mentions ki aura and “scooter”.

As mentioned, they might still be in there, and this fan is hopeful that it might be revealed later.

However, things like Halo and Scouter weren’t exactly replaced but shifted to the ‘Accessories’ section in the beginner’s guide.

Aura Customization Might Still be a Thing in Sparking Zero

Budokai Tenkaichi 3 had a lot of customization options for aura charges, specifically for the color. When equipped, the players can see the color of aura they have chosen for the character. It is unlikely that the feature will be abandoned.

It also featured a few special kinds of auras called ‘Ultimate’ where the charge will appear like a Super Saiyan. Ultimate 4 would give them an extra ki bar alongside a Super Saiyan 4-like charge.

As for scouter, it wasn’t one of the things featured in the list of items. Though characters like Bardock, Fasha, Raditz, and more had a scouter. Vegeta had a dedicated version that wore scouter apart from his other forms.

Speculations about the game will keep coming until October 2024, when the Spike Chunsoft game will finally hit the stores. Maybe the developers will take care of a few aspects that fans have highlighted recently.

What do you think about how these changes will affect the game? We would liek to know about it in the comments section below.
