Freeze Glitch

The freeze glitch is a major form of dark magic typically used by villain forces. It is caused by performing a grab with a teammate and then quickly using a spinning attack with the other. If done correctly, the opponent will be frozen in place and unable to do anything aside from take damage; the only way to free the opponent is by grabbing them or by throwing a Screw Attack at them. It is possible to be performed by a single entity, however it takes much more technical skill and accurate timing down to the millisecond. Personas are often best suited for performing it solo because of their TAS (tool-assisted speedrun) levels of precision and lack of human error. Since the freeze glitch also prevents the frozen character from performing any inputs and essentially stops gameplay for them, it can be considered an extreme form of stalling.
