When you add in the ability to double air dash, this makes Golden Frieza’s offensive pressure insanely difficult to deal with. Once Sparking Blast is active you can cancel blocked normal attacks into a jump ( Jump Cancel). When you couple the abilities of Golden Frieza with what you get from Sparking Blast, it makes Frieza a very scary character. You can also double jump, then still dash forward or back, which other characters cannot do. You can move across the screen very quickly with the ability to double dash forward or back, or you can create some tricky left/right mix-ups in the air with a forward dash followed by a quick back dash. That means you can double dash forward, double dash back, or use a forward dash once and a back dash once before you land again. However, with Golden Frieza active, you can dash twice in the air. Normally you can only dash (Forward, Forward or Back, Back) once in the air, and you can’t dash at all after a double jump. The damage increase and movement speed boost are clear advantages, but the double air dash may be a bit harder to understand. The main benefits of the Golden Frieza are a 20 percent increase in damage to all attacks, faster movement speed, and the ability to dash twice in the air.
However, the timer doesn’t start until the full transformation animation completes.
Golden Frieza lasts for a total of 20 seconds.
