Dashes after puffer super boost inconsistent?

I'm doing Madeline: The Bubble from Strawberry Jam Expert lobby right now. In Vina-05 (the name of the room in debug map, not sure how else to refer to it), you have to do dashes right after getting a boost from a pufferfish. I swear I'm immediately mashing dash like my life depends on it, but sometimes, inconsistently, Madeline will not dash for much longer, enough time for me to press the dash button 2-4 times.

It's not my controller, since I'm not having problems with dashing at any other time than right after holding in the launch direction to get a boost. I thought it might be the freeze frames somehow eating my input, and indeed the problem seems to go away when I disable freeze frames, but this also makes it harder to get the faster launch, so not a great solution.

I'm not sure how this hasn't been consistently a problem before when interacting with pufferfish, but I seem to remember it's happened a few times; this screen just requires quick ultra dashes right after super launch several times, exponentiating the problem.

Anyone know what's going on? (I can include a video but it will just look like me missing the timing on a dash lol)
