The multiple universes of Dragon Ball offer more than a few races of characters that are naturally about 1,000 times stronger than the average human, but with over 180 characters on its launch roster, Bandai Namco’s new Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero allows players to take control of seemingly every type of character in the DB universe.
In a new video venture Globku aims to rank all nine of Sparking Zero’s human characters on a tier list from strongest to weakest. He challenges himself in doing so, however, by requiring he wins at least one online, ranked bout with each character before placing them.
As a result of this approach, we get to see exactly where and how some of these characters struggle. Mr. Satan, for example, suffers from attacks that aren’t strong enough to cause any hit stun, and thus every opponent he faces feels like a beefed up and armored Broly.
While most all of these characters were intended to be relatively low tier compared to the likes of Ultra Instinct Goku and Lord Beerus, one of them crept up into an echelon he was never supposed to be in.
Yajirobe is famously more interested in food than fighting, but thanks to some unforeseen combinations wound up being one of the most broken characters in Sparking Zero after launch.
Bandai Namco was quick to patch Yajirobe in an effort to make him play a little nicer with others, but how effective were these adjustments?
Globku places Yajirobe high up, to be sure, but there might be one human in Sparking Zero who is more effective than the hungry swordsman.
