Use Ki Charge and Step/Short Dash to perform a Dragon Dash. Followed by this, repeat the same once more to execute the Z Burst Dash. Do not use the left stick during this period, as this will interfere with the attack intended. To perform Z Burst Dash, press L2+ X/LT+ A if you have classic controls enabled, and press R2+X/RT+ X for standard controls.

Once you have successfully landed the Z Burst Dash, make sure to use this opportunity to defeat your opponent by landing a few more combos. However, it is not just learning this attack that can help you win battles. There will be instances where you'll be on the receiving end. So it is essential to learn how to defend against such a fatal blow as well.

Howe to defend Z Burst Dash in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero

Z Burst Dash always comes from the left side in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. The best way to dodge this move is to perform a perception or a super perception. Start with turning your viewpoint to the left followed by:

For perception:

• Press R1/RB (Standard) or O/B (Classic)
• Hit O/B (Standard) or O + Triangle/ B + Y (Classic)

For super perception:

• Press Triangle+Circle/ Y+B

Using super perception might be one of the best ways when put against the Z Burst Dash. However, this will consume one skill point.

More ways to counter Z Burst Dash are:

• Jump: L1/LB (Standard) or R1/RB (Classic)
• Sidestep: Move your left stick to the right or left and press X/A (Standard and Classic)
• Step Sway: Perform sidestep then press R1/RB (Standard) or O/B (Classic)
• Instant Transmission: Square + X (Standard and Classic)

However, do note that, apart from perception and super perception, all the other counters are not that optimal. If your opponent is quick enough, you might get in trouble with another counterattack. After dodging the Z Burst Dash, make sure to use the little space and time available to land a brutal combo or even enter Sparking Mode and end the battle for good.
