I think DmC Dante can change gravity and not freeze time. Taking standpoint in Devil trigger to understand what he did, all the enemies are taken up and they are in Spaceship gravity kinda
And when you look at when Mundus was "frozen", u barely see if his hand moved or was frozen at all.
My thought is, the change of gravitity (going down) slowed down Mundus's punch.
But then the same question appears: Why did Vergil not be affected by this gravitity power .
But again why does the monsters go up in air and float if Dante's ability is to freeze or slow down time.
Based on DT, i say it's a gravitity kinda power.
Gravity doesn't quite work that way. And by "spaceship gravity" I think you mean "zero gravity" Although, gravity is used to dilate the perception of time, but...changing density and whatnot has way more implications on the use of DT that way, like...Dante becoming heavier than the world he's standing on...
Dante's ability isn't entirely gravity related, but it's about him forcing enemies into a helpless position. He's using the same principle of control over Malice when the demons or Limbo do it. Think about how a random chunk of street turns into a floating platform for Dante to stand on. When Dante uses his DT, he's wresting the veritable "laws of Malice" away from Limbo itself for his own benefit. Dante holding Mundus in place for that small amount of time before the big lug grabbed and threw him into a building was just the same as Dante using DT against a Tyrant - he puts them in a helpless position, but after a certain point even while DT active the Tyrant (or Mundus) gains back control. It's not so much "freezing time" as it is really just "freezing the enemy."
