Dragon Ball Sparking Zero: How to Teleport

Now you see me (Now you don’t).

The ability to both teleport and vanish is at the core of the Dragon Ball Sparking Zero experience, as doing so can allow you to avoid beams, as well as both escape combos and perform killer mixups. To help you do just that, here’s how to teleport in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero.

How to Teleport in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero: How to perform High-Speed Evasions, Rush High-Speed Movements, and more

Although it is only possible to perform a true-to-form one through Instant Transmission Skills, you can perform a High-Speed Evasion and teleport behind targets in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero by pressing block —R1/RB (on Standard) or O/B (on Classic)— at the moment your opponent’s attack is about to hit you. You can also perform a mid-combo vanish (or a Rush High-Speed Movement) by pressing block while tilting your right analog stick in any direction following a rush strike.

But that’s only the tip of the iceberg, as the game features a few other truly game-changing vanish/teleport techniques. You can check out how to perform most of them below.

To add to the above, characters with the Wild Sense and Afterimage Strike skills can activate them to perform either one or an unlimited number of automatic High-Speed Evasions within a time limit. But be careful, as the evasions triggered by the skills won’t work against ki blasts.

If you plan on using Rush High-Speed techniques in battle, I also recommend checking out your character’s move list beforehand. For example, while Videl has access to Afterimage Strike, she cannot perform both Rush High-Speed Return and Rush High-Speed Movement.
