Dragon Ball: Spark Zerothat remains Budokai Tenkaichi 4 in the hearts and minds of many diehard fans, continues to reveal more characters in its massive starter roster ahead of the fighting game’s launch on October 11. The latest batch is particularly notable, however, because it offers something that some doubted would ever happen: Dragon Ball Z Characters in the base game.
The much-maligned spin-offin which Goku returned to his childhood form, still featured some characters and fights that are just as beloved as anything else in the main series.

Fortunately Spark-free will also be available on PC and fans can add any mod they want to their heart’s content.
