This video probably explains it. Can't find the ones I remember because google probably deleted all those channels for inactivity. Wouldn't blame you for ignoring it and declaring me wrong.

>That's just how games were
Why do you feel the need to state the obvious about why the system is bizarre like a knowitall? Were you the smartest retard on the short bus?
And it's not even true. Tons of games back then had melee animations that took less than the time it takes to cross the Atlantic. Even BIG ones like Counter Strike or all those fighting games shooter players seem to overlook.
This is like when RE4nicaters say 3rd person controls were all terrible back then.
Why are you white knighting for a shit implementation of a game mechanic?
