All Dragon Ball FighterZ Dramatic Finishes and How to Trigger them

Dragon Bal FighterZ is more than just a competitive fighting game, it’s still a loving tribute to the anime and manga series it pulls its characters from. One really impressive part of that is the Dragon Ball FighterZ dramatic finishes. These are special cinematics that happen in-game. They don’t happen every fight though. If you want to see these recreations of special scenes from the source material, you’ll have to recreate some pretty specific circumstances. You’ll need exactly the right FighterZ characters, rather than picking who you play the most.

If you want to make sure you don’t miss any of them, we’ll run you through all FighterZ dramatic finishes work and how you can trigger each of them in-game.

How to Trigger Dramatic Finishes in FighterZ

Dragon Ball FighterZ dramatic finishes are a unique way of ending a game. Once your fight is one, the game will transition into a special cut scene. This will either be a recreation of a manga scene or something entirely unique! The end of the fight will play out in cutscene form as the story you know. To trigger them though, you’ll have to meet some specific conditions in your games.

You’ll need to use the right selection of characters in the right place. This is to make the cutscene fit the fight you’ve just played! Although if you’re using FighterZ mods to change characters up that could make things different. This is how you can trigger all Dragon Ball FighterZ dramatic finishes.
