The Ultimate Guide to Mastering Frieza's Devastating Loop in Dragon Ball FighterZ

Dragon Ball FighterZ offers a wide range of characters for players to select, each with unique gameplay and fighting mechanics. Although often overlooked, Frieza stands out with his outstanding 'zoning' options in the game.

Additionally, Frieza possesses the power to transform into Golden Frieza. This transformation not only increases his damage output but also unlocks new manual combos and allows him to dash twice. Dedicated fans who have chosen Frieza as their main character have likely mastered his iconic 'loop' combo, a series of moves that can be seamlessly repeated to unleash devastating damage. Here's a step-by-step guide on performing this technique.

How To Transform Into Golden Frieza

Players need a minimum of three bars in their Ki Gauge to transform into Golden Frieza. To initiate the transformation, players must input 214H+S using a controller, which is a quarter-circle back plus the RT button. Transforming into Golden Frieza grants Frieza a temporary invulnerability during the startup of the move, followed by a brief cutscene.

After the transformation, Frieza can immediately launch attacks against opponents. This allows players to capitalize on their enemy's failed moves by punishing them. In order to execute a loop combo, players must transform into Golden Frieza as it provides access to increased movement speed and the ability to perform a full reverse beat.

How To Do The Loop Combo With Frieza

The Golden Frieza loop combo is much simpler compared to other characters' loop combos, like Base Vegeta's. To perform the combo, players first need to transform into Golden Frieza and initiate their first set-up attack. They start by using Frieza's 2M move to land both hits, followed immediately by 5M. The loop combo is then activated with j.M, hitting twice.

After Frieza's tail hits twice, players slam the opponent towards the ground using j.H. Quickly, they use j.L twice, followed by j.M and j.H to continue the loop. This can be repeated twice before the player either ends the loop with a separate combo or another conclusion. Here is the full notation for the Golden Frieza loop combo:

2M, 5M, j.M, j.H, j.L, j.L, j.M, j.H, j.L, j.L

Here's a variant of the loop combo that incorporates transforming into Golden Frieza within it:

2M, 214H+S, 5M, j.M, j.H, j.L, j.L, j.M, j.H, j.L, j.L

How To End The Golden Frieza Loop Combo

There are several effective methods to conclude the loop combo featuring Golden Frieza, resulting in impressive damage ranging from 6000 to 7000. For optimal results in the Frieza loop, it is essential for players to execute a 5H immediately after completing the j.L. This allows gamers to Superdash towards their opponent, providing a plethora of possibilities as the latter is typically positioned in the corner of the stage.

After executing an aerial combo that extends from the Superdash, players should aim to conclude it by using Frieza's Level 1 Super (236L+M). If players have sufficient Ki Gauge, they can also include a support Super and their ally's Level 3 Super, resulting in an impressive damage output of over 8000. Here is an optimal combo finisher for the Golden Frieza loop:

(After the final j.L): 5H, Superdash, j.M, j.L, j.L, j.M, 236S, 236L+M, (Ally Level 1 Super, Ally Level 3 Super)
