|overview= Frieza is designed to be a traditional zoner, and he's a very good one on paper; he has several fast projectiles that cover many different angles, good normals with longer range than average, and excellent assists that are frustrating to deal with. The problem is that DBFZ is very rushdown-oriented, meaning that most of the cast has just as many options (more in some cases) for getting in on him. Frieza simply can't keep his distance forever, so it's important to know what to do when the fight gets close and personal. Fortunately, Frieza has enough options up close to at least hold his own, and when he transforms into Golden Frieza, he becomes an absolute monster, breaking conventional combo structure and adding a second airdash to his arsenal. This combined with the fact that Sparking Blast extends the length of his transformation means that he is usually played as an anchor, where the damage buffs from Golden, Sparking, AND Limit Break make him DBFZ's king of comebacks.

If you like massive normals, vicious zoning, installs, and have an appetite for destruction, then you will appreciate the king of evil, the conquer of planets, ruler of the largest, intergalactic army in the cosmos, Frieza.  
If you like massive normals, vicious zoning, installs, and have an appetite for destruction, then look no further than the the king of evil, the conqueror of planets, ruler of the largest, intergalactic army in the cosmos; Frieza.  
|lore= Frieza is a vicious galactic tyrant who rules over many planets with an iron fist after inheriting part of his father (King Cold)'s empire. Personally responsible for driving the Saiyan race to the brink of extinction, Frieza would be defeated by Goku, one of the very Saiyans he loathed. He would later be killed by Trunks, a half-Saiyan youth from the future. Unfortunately, death would not keep Frieza for long, as his henchmen would wish him back to life with the Dragon Balls. With a new lease on life, Frieza would train in order to carry out his revenge against Goku and his friends.

* Absolutley bonkers range, goes full screen, like Bardock's 236L.
* Strange, proximity-based normal
Hops over a few lows, and is very useful in both combos and blockstrings, is -3 when used at max range.
* Allows Golden Frieza to combo off of {{clr|S|5S}} at far ranges
Also allows Golden Frieza to combo off of 5S hitting.
Very odd 5M compared to most. At close range it functions the same as all the others, but farther away Frieza will automatically dash forward and then attacks either once he's close enough to the opponent to hit or after going nearly fullscreen length. Hops over a few lows, and otherwise has the same uses as other 5Ms in combos and blockstrings. Although difficult to space due to the nature of the normal, it's possible to make it up to -3 if Frieza hits from max range.

No longer a projectile, so this is a marginally better 2H for Frieza. While there's still a gap over his head, it has huge horizontal range, which can be useful in some mid-range scenarios. It also acts as a very strong followup if the opponent gets hit by Frieza's Death Saucers, as you are likely already crouching - enabling a full followup with SKD afterwards.

  • Strange, proximity-based normal
  • Allows Golden Frieza to combo off of 5S at far ranges

Very odd 5M compared to most. At close range it functions the same as all the others, but farther away Frieza will automatically dash forward and then attacks either once he's close enough to the opponent to hit or after going nearly fullscreen length. Hops over a few lows, and otherwise has the same uses as other 5Ms in combos and blockstrings. Although difficult to space due to the nature of the normal, it's possible to make it up to -3 if Frieza hits from max range.

  • Leaves a blind spot over Frieza's head

Despite looking like it and his 5HDBFZ Frieza 5H.pngGuardAllStartup13RecoveryTotal 55Advantage-13 ~ -3 firing projectiles, this is not treated as a projectile. While there's still a gap over his head, it has huge horizontal range, which can be useful in some mid-range scenarios. It also acts as a very strong followup if the opponent gets hit by Frieza's Death SaucerDBFZ Frieza DeathSaucer.pngGuardAllStartup30RecoveryTotal 61Advantage+2, as you are likely already crouching - enabling a full followup with SKD afterwards.

  • 236L explodes the ground in front of Frieza.

Frieza's main way of safely ending blockstrings.


  • 236M explodes the ground on the other half of the screen. Doesn't reach fullscreen.

Can be used after a long-range 5H or 5S to tack on some additional damage either by itself, or can be vanished for even more damage.


  • 236H creates 2 explosions that covers the entire screen.

A good way to catch people trying to do anything. Can be casted 2 times in a row to combo in itself.

  • Throws 2 discs forward that comes back after traveling off screen.
  • Discs merely launch going forward, but cause a sliding knockdown to the opponent on the way back.
  • The return trip discs can friendly fire and hit Frieza and his assists. Friendly fire discs scale less and deal more damage to Frieza than they do to the opponent (700+560 to foe and 700+630 to Frieza).
  • Can be crouched under, including L+S Ki Charge.
  • Disappear if Frieza's hit or tagged out, but not if he blocks.

Frieza is always plus after using this in a blockstring, so it's a very strong blockstring ender. Use 5L afterwards to catch jumps/vanish ect.

  • The damage buff from Golden Frieza applies to this assist as well
  • Large enough hitbox to catch vanishes.

A projectile assist that is quite fast and difficult to punish. It is good as an approach tool, working almost like Guile walking in behind a fireball for your point. It has a lot of hitstun at 51f, but has the lowest blockstun in the game for "normal" assists. The blockstun, or lack thereof, makes it nonexistent for blockstring pressure, but handy for tick throw set-ups. Your opponent might also just respect it because it looks like it has far more blockstun than it actually has.

The Emperor comes to reclaim his throne. Just don't run out of time.

  • Costs 3 Ki Gauges. Can only be done once per match. Inputting 214H+S again will deactivate Golden Frieza.
  • During Golden Frieza, gains a 20% damage buff, a second air dash, access to full reverse beat, and increased movement speed.
  • Lasts about 21 seconds when he's the point character, won't deactivate until he returns to neutral ground stance. The timer is paused when he's in Sparking, as well as resetting the timer whenever he's tagged out or an enemy's character dies.
  • Raw startup is long, but autoguards and recovers instantly after the super flash. Startup during combos is fast, so you can go Golden Frieza mid-combo.
  • Has ~1 second of Ki gain cooldown.
  • LOOPS

1200 All UDV 8+0

  • Costs 1 Ki Gauge.
  • Minimum damage: 840.
  • Has some invulnerability and hits opponent during timestop.
  • Crumples grounded opponent, causes a sliding knockdown on airborne.

Does hit off sliding knockdowns but since the shot is small and goes quite high up, it requires strict timings.

By timing the shot as late as possible into Frieza's crumple animation, you can get enough frame advantage for extra followups like Supers or even just run up 5L. Comboing after this Super doesn't receive Super scaling.
