How to do Sonic Sway In Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero?

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero brings back the beloved Sonic Sway technique, a powerful defensive maneuver that can turn the tide of battle. This guide will walk you through the basics of executing Sonic Sway, its benefits, and how to practice effectively.

What is Sonic Sway?

Sonic Sway is an advanced dodging technique in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero that allows players to evade incoming attacks with lightning-fast movements. When performed correctly, it not only helps you avoid damage but also creates opportunities for counterattacks and depletes your opponent’s ki.

Key benefits of Sonic Sway:

• Dodge incoming Rush Attacks
• Create openings for counterattacks
• Reduce opponent’s ki
• Gain temporary invulnerability

How to Perform Sonic Sway

Executing Sonic Sway requires precise timing and the correct button inputs. The technique varies slightly depending on your control scheme.

For Classic Controls:

1. Hold the Guard button (Circle on PlayStation, B on Xbox)
2. Press the Super Perception button (Triangle on PlayStation, Y on Xbox) simultaneously

For Standard Controls:

• Press the Perception button (Circle on PlayStation, B on Xbox) at the exact moment an opponent’s Rush Attack is about to land

The key to successfully performing Sonic Sway lies in the timing. You must activate Super Perception at the last possible moment before your opponent’s attack connects.

To master Sonic Sway, consistent practice is essential. Here’s how to set up an effective training session:

1. Enter Battle Training mode
2. Choose the World Tournament stage (or any small arena)
3. Select your character (Ultra Instinct Goku is recommended for beginners)
4. Set your opponent to a fast character like Kefla
5. Adjust the training settings:
   • Max out health gauges
   • Set opponent behavior to “Rush Attacks”

When to Use Sonic Sway

Sonic Sway is most effective against Rush Attacks, which are quick and aggressive strikes. Here are some guidelines for using the technique:

• Look for the red outline around your opponent, indicating a Rush Attack
• Use Sonic Sway primarily as a defensive counter to Rush Attacks
• Avoid using it against Ki Blasts, as it’s less effective and wastes ki
• Be cautious of overusing Sonic Sway, as mistiming can leave you vulnerable

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Spamming the input: Sonic Sway requires precise timing, not rapid button presses
2. Using it against non-Rush Attacks: The technique is designed specifically for Rush Attacks
3. Neglecting practice: Consistent training is key to mastering Sonic Sway
4. Forgetting to counterattack: After a successful Sonic Sway, take advantage of the opening

By mastering Sonic Sway, players can significantly improve their defensive capabilities in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. Remember that perfecting this technique takes time and patience, but with consistent practice, it can become a powerful tool in your arsenal.
