Shaq Fu used it which was one of the points against it since it gave all moves lag due to all the extra frames of animation.
Aiden Murphy
Faith uses it and to great results

I think the reason why the graphics of games back then were so "enchanting" compared to now, is because of the amount of effort the teams had to put into it
Nowadays, it's just plug and play with Unity or Unreal engine and there's little effort or passion required

Smaller development teams too for the most part to where most of the people had to rub elbows all day long. Now development can involve hundreds of people and one department will never see the other with 90 percent of them getting laid off after the job is done.
