Time Stopper

Time Stopper (タイムストッパー) is Flash Man's power. It stops time for a limited time and doesn't cause any damage, except when it is used on Quick Man; he is weak to this weapon and will lose half of his life. It doesn't work on all the enemies; some enemies will only be slowed down by the Time Stopper and some are not affected by it at all.

Another serious downside is that Mega Man cannot shoot while this is active, nor switch to another weapon until the energy is finished. (When Mega Man gets Flash Stopper from Bright Man later on, this dilemma is remedied to some extent.)

The Doc Robot from Mega Man 3 also used this weapon along with the weapons from the other Robot Masters from Mega Man 2, but the player can't take it from Doc Robot.
