Freezing or slowing time right at the moment of an impact to create the impression that something hits harder, or for dramatic effect. For particularly dramatic scenes it may continue into a full-blown Overcrank. Some video games will also use it to make combo input easier. The trope name comes from the term used for this in the Guilty Gear fighting game series. Compare Bullet Time. May be combined with Hit Spark. |

Used a few times in Sherlock Holmes, while Holmes is going through his fight moves in his head. The actual fight is then shown in real time to prove that Holmes' moves worked. Its sequel would re-use the trope as well. | |

Devil May Cry 5: Employed in the trailers. While mostly done to emphasize specific moves, this is done excessively in trailers with Dante, where the trailer constantly slows down after almost every shot to the point that it almost becomes meaningless. Noticeably, this isn't that case when demonstrating the other characters, meaning this was likely in order to keep with the slower, droning pace of his theme ("Subhuman"), which lacks the high energy of every other theme in the series such as "Devil Trigger", "Taste the Blood", "Lock and Load", and "Devils Never Cry". Hit Stop is also utilized ingame during each step of Balrog's "Real Impact" move, freezing both Dante and the enemy being hit very briefly for every time the uppercut lands. |

Tales of Berseria features this, which makes multi-hit combos feel satisfying but is also a bane to speedrunning: when the game was featured at Games Done Quick, the runner would save some frames by swapping away from protagonist Velvet whenever she was using the particularly-hit-intensive "Discord" Finishing Move. (This sounds nitpicky until you realize that the run's strategy involves spamming this move.) | |

The Guilty Gear series is the Trope Namer. The Xrd installments introduced a feature known as Danger Time, randomly activated by any clash between attacks, wherein any attack successfully landed during the next 10 seconds causes what is known as a Mortal Counter, briefly freezing up the assailee before they experience immense slowdown — all while attack damage is boosted by 20%. | |

Dragon Ball: Dragon Ball Z uses this effect often when someone gets hit with a penetrating attack, such as when Goku and Raditz are run through on Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon, when Vegeta gets shot through the heart by Frieza, and when Cell blasts a hole through Trunks. In Dragon Ball Super, Jiren gets this treatment from Goku after he tries to kill his friends. It's named the "Silver Dragon Flash" in Dragon Ball Heroes. |

Kid Icarus: Uprising uses this trope on the finishing blow of every boss. Mid-chapter bosses get only brief pauses, while chapter-end bosses (including chapter-end bosses that get reappearances) get dramatic camera angles, an extended slow-down, a Bond One-Liner from Pit, and a reaction from either Palutena or the boss itself. | |

A part of the character select in Injustice 2; the characters exchange blows, with P1's blow to P2 resulting in a hit stop. Unless P1 is The Flash; while it's still nominally slowed down to ultra-slow motion, the Flash just moves so fast he looks like he's moving at normal speed during the hit stop. | |

Parodied in one episode of Malcolm in the Middle where a bully attempts to punch Malcolm in the face while everyone else in the schoolyard watches. The action goes into slow motion and Malcolm ducks to the side to avoid being hit. The bully's momentum keeps going and, while still in slow motion, makes an Oh, Crap! expression as he sees his fist is now going towards Stevie, who is in a wheelchair, and is unable to stop himself. The impact of the punch is just a light tap on the cheek, but once the speed returns to normal, Stevie suddenly falls over in his wheelchair. | |

Jackass 3D had a few skits involving this, usually featuring a cast member being hit with a heavy object in high speed slow-mo. The funniest example is definitely a dildo being shot out of a cannon, flying past some model scenes, and shattering a glass of milk, before slamming into Rick Kosick's face. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Giorno Giovanna's Gold Experience is absolutely brutal. It may look like a simple punch at first, but with the Stand's ability to manipulate life energy, it becomes even worse. When a person is infused with life energy per punch, it causes their five senses to go into overdrive, essentially hyper-enhancing their perception of time to the point that the pain of getting your nose broken or your jaw dislocated remains for minutes, even a few hours according to you. And when that first punch is the herald to Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs, as both Cioccolatta and Diavolo can attest, your rough ride is about to get unbearable. Dio's punch on Jonathan during their boxing match in Part 1. He tries again when they grow up, but it's no longer effective. Note, both incidents were before Dio became a Vampire and when his strength was not yet superhuman, but still correct for the average adult man in great health. |

Afterimage: There's a slow-motion effect every time the playable character is damaged. The blade weapon Deathmatch is mechanically built around parrying attacks. Its Flavor Text and lore aren't the only ones supplementing this, the weapon also changes Renee's basic attack into the "Clashing Blades" weapon skill - a slash that produces a dramatic slow-motion effect whenever it successfully connects with an enemy's attack. As of the Trio in the Sea update, playable Karsa has "Mighty Blow" as the name of his own equivalent of the "Clashing Blades" skill. |

This trope is used twice in Gaming All-Stars Remastered. The first instance occurs when Banjo lands a hit on Nightmare; the viewer witnesses time slowing down and both of their voices deepening for emphasis.

Super Smash Bros.: It notably applies hitstop to the person(s) taking damagenote or the person(s) blocking the attack and the person dealing the damage, but everything else continues moving. This includes the background, nearby items and hazards, particle effects (including particle effects of the attacker's attack), and nearby players who didn't take any damage. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate adds this effect to any particularly powerful attack in 1v1 matches, such as the Falcon Punch. Kazuya from Tekken, in his Guest Fighter appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, was given no hitstop on his attacks to preserve the "feel" of his home game. |
