Wonder if the Prince can use the rewind time stunt IC if it wasn't just a gameplay mechanic. If he can then this is probably spite since the Prince will be haxx0ring. But then again I don't know much about PoP.
Wish Ezio could kick his ass. Much better char n' all.
Thinking about it I have no idea how his sandtime powers can be controlled if hes being rewound with the rest of time. That and gameplay mechanics aside he probs couldn't use it if suffering a fatal wound.
Can't remember PoP but the Prince's physical abilities are above Ezios. In h2h the Prince, Ezio if he has the Apple.

The only game I could think of where the Prince isn't beyond normal human capabilities is (probably) the first one ever. In the others he's capable of some things that humans are not, be it through equipment or his own natural abilities. I base this solely on clips seen on various videos of the games.

It isn't a gameplay mechanic. Rewinding Time is among the most basic of abilities the Dagger of Time has. He can pull if off even when he's suffered a death-blow, be it from an enemy, or from a bunch of spikes/traps etc.
That said, the TC should really specify which version of the Prince of Persia this is. There are three different versions.

Instant kills would likely stop him from using it, but as for death-blows, nah. All he has to do is to rewind time to negate damage, which he can conceivably do if he can press the 'button' on the dagger.
After getting the dagger, there's a pit where spikes are present. If you fall onto the spikes, then rewind time, the Prince comments on the fact that he was able to avoid death thanks to the dagger.

Which is why he'd be dead or beaten before he figures it out.

Yep, about ten uses for the rewinding ability. Same for the slow-down as well I think. About 7-8 times more than enough.
Time rewinds even if he has let go of the button. Maybe once the button is pressed, the duration of the reversal is dependent on him, and not the dagger.
/Stop doing that/

Flawed conclusion. You can't say that, since there are other logical obstacles to pass through first. Initially, he commented on his power to rewind time the moment he learnt of it. This means he was conscious of the event,
Your logic dictate that he shouldn't be, as of your belief that pressing the button will result in a split second event. This dictate that the Prince must be in perfect synch with time, something the dagger appears to nullify in a sense of immunity towards its own powers, and immunity to immediate contact with it.
Because in the end, according to your logic, he would never have been able to carry it around in the first place. The moment he grab it, fall towards the spikes and rewind time, he'd end up in an infinite loop and condemn the universe to a halt in time.
Going back even further, the creators of the dagger, upon testing if it was functional, would've initiated the same loop and the dagger would've never been found, since it was never placed there to begin with. It never got past the workbench.
/Looking into things too much? You didn't even touch the surface of your "problem". All you did was fail, in an attempt to look too much into stuff. Don't feel bad, though, it's becoming more and more common that people fail miserably when trying to find holes in popular stuff/
Although to be fair, you did look too much into it. Unfortunately, too much into a problem that didn't exist in the first place. Since it didn't exist, anything (Whatever the amount) is too much. Since the dagger is there, your problem is not a problem. It's a delusion of problem.
