A long asked question has finally been answered recently - how to stop time on computer. Asked frequently by newer players this question was long assumed to have no real answer beyond simply linking the player to the channel named "How to time stop," but now a definitive answer has been discovered.
"I didn't think it was possible until I tried it for myself." said Dio main and resident of the jojo anime and manga talk channels WryGuy. "Truth be told I couldn't do Timestop before but now I can do it easily every time! It's incredible!"
The player who discovered this technique, DolphinMan22, explained how he discovered this revolutionary process.
"I was just doing what I always do on fightcade, mashing random buttons and whatnot when suddenly I started the animation to stop time. I tried doing the same on my copy of PSX HFTF and couldn't get it to work so I think it's computer only. You gotta taunt then press DJLDN and your keybinds have to be the same as mine, or it wont work."
This discovery - alongside the discovery of the secret rules and the Player 2 combo counter - have made players rethink how they view the game and it's rules.
"This is beyond huge, and that's an understatement. Now that we know that fightcade has different rules and techniques than arcade machines and console releases, the very meta may shift around this and we might just have a wildly different competitive environment than the JP scene eventually. We just have to wait and see what else gets found that we thought of as impossible." elaborated a Tandem Cancel researcher. "Who knows what other techniques could be created!? I heard rumors about Hol Horse being able to stop time, I wonder if that is also a computer-only mechanic?"
Tandem Cancel's researchers will be hard at work to find more of these hidden techniques, and should any be found they will be tested at the upcoming AnimEVO.
