I agree for the most on this point, and LERP should be used for
animations, but I want to point out that a lot of fighting games do use
actual animation frames for timing. Although this causes timing to vary
on different platforms, and does require timing to be set for every
animation, it locks the timing relative to the framerate -- doing actual
time based variations would be harder to tweak.
