How to deflect beams in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero

If you’re getting destroyed by the various Kamehameha beams that inevitably come your way in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero fights, you’ll need to deflect them to ensure you survive.

Luckily, it’s not actually that hard to do so, it’s more about the timing to guarantee you get the deflect off.

To do this, you’ll need to utilize something called Super Perception which can be activated by holding Circle, B, or Q, depending on your method of input.

This is using the Standard setup option and if you’re on the Classic variant instead, you’ll need to use a combination of Circle + Triangle, B +Y, and Q + E, again depending on your input.

Keep in mind that you will need at least two Skill Points to perform a successful deflect so you won’t be able to spam deflects.

Once you see your opponent go into the transition into firing off a beam attack, be prepared to hit those aforementioned buttons and you should be able to get a beam deflect off.

You can practice this in the Training portion of the game to ensure you get the presses off at the correct time, which can save you from getting egg on your face mid battle.
