If one is simply speeding up time, that’s one thing. Being a fan of JJBA, Time related abilities go with the grain. Speeding up time is useful, but entirely different from skipping it.

The fast forward button is much more complicated when applied in reality. You’re essentially skipping over a portion of time, right? This is similar to another power from another series called King Crimson, which erases time to skip over it. This has created endless headaches.] Upon applying skipping in a real life setting, a few things begin to occur. 1. Causality is broken, due to a certain section of time being skipped, meaning things don’t always work right, and 2. The actual action itself becomes useless due to the actions done by the user being the same as well, meaning it just makes the fight go quicker at best, which is worse then what the fast forward blade has show. This sort of ability only works if one has some sort of way to change causality like precognition. Okay, when someone skips over time, it's essentially the same thing as traveling through time. He's literally getting in a DeLorean (if you can make movie references; so can I:)) and traveling 5 minutes into the future. He's either skipping 5 entire minutes, or fast-forwarding through 5 minutes.
