Bullet Time Battle

Bullet Time Battle, also called Machinegun Talk Battle in the Japanese version occurs as a part of the Class Trial, it occurs when Makoto Naegi encounters resistance from people who refuse to believe an accusation of murder or certain evidence in dispute and resort to desperate assertions. It is usually done to protect themselves or someone else. It occurs in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. It is succeeded by Panic Talk Action in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair.

Mechanics
In B.T.B, you must obliterate assertions made by the opponent, you do this by locking onto assertions and then firing manually to destroy the assertions. When you destroy the assertions, the opponents influence gauge will take damage but should you fail to destroy the assertions made in time, your influence gauge will be damaged. You must time locking and manually shooting to the tempo, repeated successes will increase the tempo but misses will decrease the tempo. Once the opponents influence gauge is low, they will make a final statement, which is a weak point, which you must destroy using ammunition, initially only one ammunition is loaded.

Should you run out of time, or you run out of influence, you will lose.

Additional mechanics appear throughout the game. In Chapter 2, you gain Fever Time and your opponent gains Negative Time, Fever Time increases tempo to the maximum setting and allows you to lock on, fire and later reload at your own pace as you cannot miss the tempo. In Negative Time, the tempo markers disappear, you can use Fever Time to counter Negative Time, as hinted in the instructions. In Chapter 3, you must reload your bullets as you do not have an infinite amount. In the second B.T.B of Chapter 4, you have multiple ammunition for the final statement, which you scroll like a normal Nonstop Debate.
