Describe the Bug
One of the Werehog skills/attacks is behaving differently depending on the current frames per second, the higher the current fps the slower it gets, the lower they are the faster it gets (difference is minimal but noticeable, on lowest possible fps the attack doesn't even have time to perform the animation correctly)
Steps to Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the bug:
- Set target framerate to 18 for a shorter attack or 60 for a longer attack
- Go to any night stage or Entrance Stage
- Jump and perform the Aerial Claw Slash and spin skill (X, X, A on Xbox or Square, Square, X on PS3 buttons),
Expected Behavior
Independently of the target framerate, the attack will always last the same time

Additional Context
In particular it is the last hit of the attack (where sonic extend both arms and spins twice forwards, at 60 fps there seems to be a very small difference compared to 30 fps, around 10 miliseconds, but at lower framerates like 18fps the last hit is almost instantaneous, sonic doesn't even perform a full spin, both the attack and animation end early in that case
I could not test it but I suspect the attack could last even longer in higher framerates
Due to the nature of the issue I could not properly check the results with different framerates on original hardware, I could only provide a clip of the attack being performed at what seems to be normal speed
Unfortunately: this behavior can also be seen on Xbox Series X, which runs at 60fps with the fps boost patch.
I still think this could be a candidate for a fix considering that other issues that exist on the Series X/S but not the original 360 have been brought up as well.
