This is a heavy reference to the previous AI-only Golden Freeza boss, which had a 'feature' which allowed him to break out of combos after the 7th consecutive hit of one.
In this iteration, it's an install of sorts, and he'll remain in this install for a number of seconds. If at any point while this is active, he is hit at least 3 times consecutively he'll use his old trick of teleporting out of the combo.
A usage or getting hit also ends the install. The availability of these boss counters are indicated by the 'F's on his special power bar. You can only use two per Power Mode install. Whether you use one, both or none, you get them back at the start of the next round if you are still in Power Mode.
