So, about Hit's technique...

[DonAce]

I am a bit confused, it's written as "Time Skip" but it works more like a time stop. How is this any different from what Gurd was doing back on Namek? It seems so strange to me like this is treated like a new thing when we saw someone else do this. Can someone explain to me how this is different?

The technique is called timeSKIP and not timeFREEZE/timeSTOP. They have things in common and that is why it was simply described as time freeze by Jaco in order to deliver the gist of it. But they have notable differences too.

So what are the differences? Well, imagine this fight was happening with the fighters wearing watches. If the technique was an actual time stop technique (like Guldo's for example), time stops flowing for everyone but the user. So when Guldo releases time back, Krillin's watch will be showing the exact same time as the moment Guldo stopped the time. On the other hand when Hit does Tokitobashi the time still continues to flow for his opponent. When Hit releases time back, Goku's watch will be 0.1seconds ahead of the instant Hit initiated Tokitobashi.

Now to better understand what is going on imagine timelines are like a film with frame ratio of 100 frames per second. This means that an interval of 0.1 seconds has 10 frames. When Hit uses Tokitobashi he makes people "skip"/"lose"/"fail to perceive" 10 frames from their timelines while he himself can still utilise these 10 frames to move, etc. In other words it is like recording a video at 100 frames per second and Hit uses Adobe Premier Pro to edit out 10 sequential frames here and there and people watch the edited version.
