Witch Time is a major mechanic in ''Bayonetta'', where Bayonetta/Jeanne slows down time while moving freely within it. It is used to traverse terrain that would otherwise be inaccessible, such as water or rock fragments. It can be activated in a variety of ways, primarily by dodging enemy attacks at the right time, as well as being activated by various accessories. Lumen Sages possess a similar ability called Light Speed, which also lets them slow down time. Various other releases by PlatinumGames and its predecessor, the [[Capcom]] subsidiary Clover Studios, also feature slowdown powers, such as the Bangle of Time in ''Devil May Cry'', the "Slow" VFX ability in ''Viewtiful Joe'', Veil of Mist in ''Okami'', and Hero Time in {{uvm|The Wonderful 101}}. | Witch Time is a major mechanic in ''Bayonetta'', where Bayonetta/Jeanne slows down time while moving freely within it.

Witch Time is Bayonetta's down special in Super Smash Bros. 4. Bayonetta performs a backflip, and if struck, activates Witch Time, which slows down the opponent dramatically for up to several seconds, leaving them open to a counterattack. This is accompanied with the visual effect of a purple vortex and a clock surrounding the attacker. The slowdown duration is signified by the clock's hand, and upon making a full revolution, the effect wears off. The duration of the slowdown varies based on the attacker's damage percentage and how frequently the move is used.
Bat Within
If Witch Time is activated too late, Bat Within activates instead. Bayonetta will then transform into a swarm of bats and travel in any direction the player wishes, while also reducing the amount of damage taken. It is also possible to activate both Witch Time and Bat Within at the same time.
Origin
Witch Time is a major mechanic in Bayonetta, where Bayonetta/Jeanne slows down time while moving freely within it. It is used to traverse terrain that would otherwise be inaccessible, such as water or rock fragments. It can be activated in a variety of ways, primarily by dodging enemy attacks at the right time, as well as being activated by various accessories. Lumen Sages possess a similar ability called Light Speed, which also lets them slow down time. Various other releases by PlatinumGames and its predecessor, the Capcom subsidiary Clover Studios, also feature slowdown powers, such as the Bangle of Time in Devil May Cry, the "Slow" VFX ability in Viewtiful Joe, Veil of Mist in Okami, "Focus" in Transformers: Devastation, and Hero Time in The Wonderful 101.
Bat Within is a technique purchasable from the Gates of Hell. By dodging at the last second, Bayonetta instead activates Bat Within, transforming her into a swarm of bats to escape, while also healing the damage taken from the attack and slowing down time for an extended duration.
