To perform Chase Change in Standard controls, follow these steps:

• Start by attacking your opponent using Rush Attacks (Square Key/X Key) and wait until the attacks launch or push your opponent back.
• As soon as the opponent is briefly pushed back or launched, quickly press the left directional key to open the switch menu.

• Once the character switch menu is open, quickly select any character in your party using their corresponding keys to perform a successful Chase Change in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero.

Note that you must not press any movement key while the character swap menu is open, as this will cause the window to close and you will miss your chance to perform a Chase Change.

The method to perform Chase Change remains the same but requires different key inputs. Here’s how to perform the technique using Classic controls:

• Attack your opponent using Rush Attacks and wait for a pushback or launch.
• As soon the opponent is pushed back or launched, press the L3 + R3/LS + RS buttons on your controller to open the character switch panel.

• Move the right analog stick toward the character you want to switch to.

Performing Chase Change using Classic controls can be difficult. Hence, a useful tip is to go to the Control Settings and switch the Directional Buttons to Standard.

Now, you can still play the Classic controls but your Chase Change, transformation and fusion settings will switch to Standard controls.

The Chase Change mechanic can take some learning and getting used to. The character swap menu appears for a very brief moment, and inputs can be strict and time-sensitive.

That said, the game provides a proper tutorial about Chase Change in the Battle Training arena. This means you can practice this technique as much as you want before dropping into ranked matches.
