You can stop time but only for 5 seconds. How would you use your power?
- Thread starter FernandoRocker
- Start date
If you stop time you stop the very air and light around you in place. Even if you wanted to, you couldn't do anything because you can't move and you're blind.
Randi challenge. If you can prove the paranormal in a laboratory setting you'll win. Tell them that effectively you have the ability to teleport, tell them exactly how, and let them measure it.
Boom. 1 million dollars.
Edit: it appears the challenge was cancelled on 2015, obviously with no winner. Nonetheless, do it on social media with a challenge to prove you're a fake. People will try and fail. Eventually you're a celebrity and you've changed our understanding of the universe.

That's only if you are taking your speed in a reference frame relative to a fixed sun (and keeping your current momentum even in stopped time), which is really both ridiculous and arbitrary. It only makes sense that when you stop time, there is no movement whatsoever (since speed has no meaning without time), and only your actions after that will cause things to move around you (solely so the power is actually useful).
*Teleports behind you*
Nothing personnel kid.
I would probably pull trousers down of people I didnt like.
Carry things on me and swap them with objects people are carrying just to mess with them. Like putting a banana in their hand where they were speaking on their phone and putting their phone in their pocket.
Every time a cash register is opened i would take an extra £20 note to go with my change.
Spit in peoples food.
Change their steering wheel in a lonely street.
Change the channel when somebody else is watching.
Touch an unsuspecting cat to scare the shit out of them.
Win a fight by wailing as many punches as possible and if they still stand dance around for a minute before doing it again.
5 seconds is enough if you're quick and have imagination.

Well, since time around you stopped you keep momentum but it has no consequences whatsoever
Twas easy, next question?
try to use your special stand power, only to fail every time and realize that you just fucking suck
then after each hit, you spend a minute deciding while your power gets off cooldown.
The dealer would be like "why is this guy taking so long?"
Guyyyys, stop applying actual science to superpowers! It ruining our wishful thinking!
So, I'd just become a time-stopping Robin Hood who takes down corrupt authority figures. And since there's no cooldown, I'd just spam it infinitely to finish tasks.

Go to a major strip club and wait for someone to "make it rain" and take what I can get. Over the course of the night, I should be able to leave with some good money.

That gif is literally making me nauseous.
I'd prefer to have a cooler Stand + power
Like one that turns my Stand into an unstoppable killing force but I have to die first

So many casino answers, I hope all of you are really skilled at returning to the exact same position you were in five seconds ago so nobody thinks its odd that suddenly your hand is five cm to the left
A hitman would be too hard. You'd need to set up a bunch of things in advance and still get your self-defense skills to a certain level in order to deal with the cooldown.
A petty robber stealing bills from a register would also leave too many traces, like fingerprints and so on.
It's a skill best used for one on one fighting, so maybe not boxing, but something like grappling/judo this skill would be super invaluable.
The casino sounds good and all, but that would take years of practice to get gud honestly. But it'd be worth the investment down the line, so I guess casino.

Yeah? You're freezing the game to assess the situation and react when time unfreezes. Players in SFV use V-Trigger to freeze time for a brief moment and do things like anti-air the opponent already. 5 seconds would be this magnified, for any fighting game and for way more complex situations where you'd have ample amounts of time to see what the opponent is doing—in a genre where literally every 1/60th of a second matters—and respond accordingly once time resumes.
Train myself to reflexively do it when something bad happens and use it to augment my reflexes. Not the most useful thing, but it might help save me from minor harms and maybe even save my life.
Train myself to do it while unconscious so that I waste less real time sleeping.

I wouldn't have to pay for a lot of stuff. If I go to a cashier I could take back what I paid when they open the register, or more if I was inclined.
