Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero – How to Do Chase Change in Battles

To keep the pressure on your opponent during online matches, learning how to do Chase Change in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is an essential tool to keep in your arsenal. The move can help you greatly switch up your playstyle by bringing in new characters without forfeiting your momentum.

It seems not everyone is aware of how to effectively use this move, as it can be a bit tricky to pull off and the tutorial doesn’t do a good job of explaining it thoroughly. Well, you’re on the correct Sparking Zero combat guide to know how to change your characters in the most useful way!

What is Chase Change in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero?

Chase Change is a move that allows you to switch out your fighters while you are attacking your opponent. Given the requirement, this can only work in battles where you are using a team. This move is a bit more of the advanced combat mechanics present in the game and will take some practice before you can take it to Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s online matches.

Performing a successful Chase Change, much like executing a perfect Super Counter, requires a bit of precise timing and quick button inputs. Mastering the technique can give you a tactical advantage in both Episodic Battles and Online Matches as a way to switch between characters without pausing your onslaught of damage.

Your choice of control style will determine how you can perform a Chase Change. This means you will need to input different buttons if you are on the Standard control layout as compared to the Classic control layout, and it will consume 1 Skill Point to perform.

How to Do Chase Change in Standard Control Layout in Sparking Zero?

To set up a successful Chase Change when using the Standard controls in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, begin by using your Rush Attacks with the X/Square buttons. Complete the combo until your character launches or pushes your enemy away. The moment your opponent is launched, press down on the left directional key on the D-Pad to open the switch menu.

Choose the character you wish to bring onto the battlefield quickly and press the corresponding face button to perform a Chase Change.

Be sure not to press any movement key when the character selection menu is opened, as this will cancel out the chance to perform a Chase Change.

How to do Chase Change in Classic Control Layout in Sparking Zero?

While the overall method to perform a Chase Change with Classic Control layout is the same as Standard, you do need to press different buttons to execute this move. Begin by attacking your opponent using the X/Square button and wait for your opponent to be launched. The moment your enemy is launched, press L3+R3/LS+RS to bring up the character change menu.

Move the analog stick to the character you wish to switch to and let go. This should result in the new character entering the fray and immediately rushing after your opponent for you to continue your combo. Performing a Chase Change on Classic is far trickier than on Standard, and there are no Ability Items that can help you perform this move.

You can change your directional buttons to follow the Standard layout, so your combat will follow Classic control inputs and your switches, Transformation, and Fusions will be mapped to the Standard layout.

How to Master the Chase Change Maneuver?

Regardless of your controller layout, mastering this move is going to take practice, so be prepared to spend enough time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Getting the input timing down is the biggest challenge to performing this move and can be as helpful as knowing how to dodge an Ultimate attack.

Here are some tips to keep in mind when practicing this move.

• Press and hold the switch button along with the left-directional button before performing the Rush Attack.
• Don’t just tap the directional button; keep it pressed until the character swap happens and the combo continues.
• You can sneak in an extra hit just as you send your opponent flying by using the interaction button to bring out your switched character the moment the animation starts.

Learning how to perform moves like Super Counters, Revenge Counters, and Sonic Sway can also help you gain the upper hand and set up the requirements for a Chase Change.
