+# My notes on attack speed cap
+
+WIP
+
+There are 2 (maybe more) routes when it comes to implementing attack speed
+in a game with animation:
+
+- Makes the character looks quirky as heck on extreme numbers of attack speed,
+respecting the power fantasy for the user
+- Makes the character looks like a god shooting at top speed... only to deal no
+damage because of the invisible attack cap
+
+ROR2 chooses the latter.
+
+Meanwhile, you have a hard limit of `FixedUpdate`
