Dragon Ball: Sparkling Zero: How to Play Split-Screen

If you’re just starting to dive into Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, you might be itching to play some local split-screen with a friend. While the menus can be a bit tricky to navigate, it’s not too hard once you know what you’re looking for. Here’s how to jump into couch co-op mode and start battling!

Getting Started: Quick Steps to Split-Screen

Once you’ve launched Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, getting into split-screen mode is a breeze. Just follow these simple steps:

    1.    Head to the Battle & Training section from the main menu (look for Gohan, Goku, Piccolo, and Supreme Kai).
    2.    Select Battle.
    3.    Choose Offline.
    4.    Pick P1 vs. P2.

And boom! You’ll be taken to the character and stage selection screen, ready to duke it out with your buddy using any of the 180+ characters—just make sure they’re unlocked first.

 

 

Does Split-Screen Run Smoothly?

Yes, But There Are Some Limits. For a fighting game, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s split-screen mode runs pretty well! Unlike other games where split-screen can be a bit chaotic (looking at you, Fortnite), this game’s focus on close combat makes it ideal for two players sharing a screen. There’s smooth action and no noticeable latency, which means you won’t miss a beat while trading punches and energy blasts.

However, there are a couple of limitations:

    •    The only available stage for split-screen is the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
    •    Only one player can select their character at a time.

Still, it’s a great way to battle it out with friends, especially if you don’t mind these minor restrictions.

Mods to Expand Split-Screen

PC players, listen up! There’s a mod on Nexus Mods called “Let’s Fight Somewhere Else” that lets you expand the split-screen experience to include more stages. Unfortunately, this is only available for the PC version of the game, but it’s worth checking out if you want more variety in your battles!

Final Thoughts

While Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s split-screen mode isn’t the most expansive, it definitely gets the job done for some local 1v1 fun. Just remember to head to the Battle & Training section, and you’re good to go! Whether you’re playing with a friend or testing out different characters, the split-screen mode adds a fun way to experience the game’s intense combat.
