Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Players Struggle with Great Ape Vegeta Boss Fight Difficulty

Despite initial concerns regarding the difficulty of the Great Ape Vegeta battle in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, many players have since reevaluated their stance.

The highly anticipated Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero has made a significant impact in the gaming community. Marking the return of the classic Budokai Tenkanchi franchise, it has garnered immense popularity, achieving sales of 3 million copies within just 24 hours post-launch.

Leading up to its release, one of the most discussed aspects of Sparking Zero during the early access phase was its challenging gameplay, prompting players to express their frustrations online regarding various boss encounters.

A notable source of challenge was the early battle with Great Ape Vegeta in Goku’s Episode Battle mode, which stirred intense reactions from gamers.

In response to the backlash, the developers even humorously suggested players reduce the difficulty level and give the fight another go.

As players have delved deeper into Sparking Zero, many have recanted their earlier remarks, finding the challenge presented by Great Ape Vegeta to be less daunting than they first perceived.

A number of Reddit discussions have emerged wherein players express that they consider the fight “not too hard” and regard the initial claims of high difficulty as “overstated.”

Even some players who struggled initially have acknowledged that the battle’s difficulty was exaggerated. As one player remarked, “It took me like seven tries until I managed to beat him, but it wasn’t as bad as I expected.” Another player shared a similar sentiment.

Another Reddit user commented on the widespread panic, saying, “I kept hearing horror stories, but if you take the time to get to know the game, you will defeat him without too much trouble. He just constantly uses attacks.”

As players progress further into the game, they find that Great Ape Vegeta is quite manageable compared to later encounters.

“The true challenge in story mode arises against the alternate universe where you have to defeat all five members of the Ginyu Force,” one player noted.

“Everyone overreacted since it was their first boss fight. I wonder how they fared during the Tournament of Power fights,” speculated another user.
