Bandai Namco has unleashed raw gameplay footage for upcoming brawler Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, and boy does it have potential. A true successor to the Budokai Tenkaichi games gives Dragon Ball FighterZ a run for its money in the visuals department, and it quite clearly captures the insane action of Dragon Ball.
The showcase confirms what we already assumed: this is a fully 3D arena-style fighter, complete with a colossal character roster (supposedly made up over 160 forms). It's full of super-fast combos, massive special attacks, and instantaneous teleports. Again, there's huge promise here.
What's more, the game's producer is on hand to explain specific mechanics — some of which are new, and some of which are an evolution of what the Tenkaichi titles started. It's also stated that some of the combat effects simply wouldn't be possible on last-gen consoles — which is why it's coming to PS5 and not PS4.
The showcase ends with a new trailer, which just so happens to confirm a bunch of playable characters — many of whom are taken from Dragon Ball Super.

And no Kakarot was low budget trash with PS2 flying gameplay
Sheesh, how do you even follow what's going on with this game?!
