Anyone else HATE it when games "stutter" on purpose?

[curl-6]

I'm talking about that effect in fighters and beat em ups where everytime you hit someone hard (or even moderately) the game pauses for a few frames to accentuate the hit. Or in NSMB when every other player gets paused for a sec cos P2 died or picked up a mushroom.

Am I the only one who finds it incredibly annoying and disruptive to the flow of the play experience?
