Even before any modes were announced, Dragon Ball fans could’ve probably guessed that there would be a tournament mode inDragon Ball: Sparking Zero. After all, almost all DB games allow you to compete in tournaments that resemble those that feature in the anime and manga.
However, every tournament mode is different to a certain degree. The same can be said for the version of the mode that features in Sparking Zero. So, having experience with other Dragon Ball games doesn’t mean you’ll know everything about this tournament mode straight away. Here is everything you need to know about it.
Pre-Set Tournament Types

Each of them has a different set of rules that help make it distinct from the others. Here isa breakdown of each type of tournament:

If none of those tournaments are to your liking, you can create your own. It isn’t too taxing sinceall you have to decide is the set of rulesthat your tournament is going to abide by.
These are the rules you have to decide on:
Once you’ve decided on all these rules, you can save the tournament or start it immediately.Created tournaments can be played either offline or online.
Playing Tournaments
Whatever tournament you select to play, you first have tochoose the fighter or team of fightersyou’re going to control. In offline play,the rest of the field is auto-generated, meaning you aren’t able to pick who you will be facing. Of course, in online play, the other spots will be filled by other players.
While playing offline, the Cell Games always feature Cell, while the Yamcha Games always include Yamcha.
When you’ve selected your fighter or fighters, you will head into the first match. While playing offline,the CPU fights will be simulated, and you won’t be able to see what happens. You will just see who wins. When online, you canselect whether you want the same round matches to be played simultaneously or in order.
Even in custom tournaments, you’re able to’t choose how many matches you need to play.Every tournament has eight fighters or teams.So, they allhave three rounds of battles.
If you win all three, you are crowned champion. If you lose in offline play, then the tournament simply ends.
