Super Smash Bros. Imitation: Demo now working

you're not understanding the point.

Making less frames for an animation isn't the "easy way out", it actually makes a lot look better.
The reduction of certain frames is needed to get the desired effect for something like a punch or kick.
If everything had the exact amount of frames for a motion, it would look like it's in some sort of slow motion, no matter how fast the framerate is needed.
