Slow walk combo bug [373 and below]

Slow walk combos don't work. Link still walks at normal speed on these combos. (however, I think they still work in 1.90 quests).

EDIT: Correction, it seems that Link walks in the speed between the normal speed and the speed where Link walks in slow walk combo. I call this, middle speed. In conclusion, Link walks at middle speed when he is walking on the slow walk combo.

Z3 movement is complicated: when walking in a straight line, Link alternates between moving 1 and 2 pixels; when moving diagonally, he moves 1 pixel in both directions each frame.

The old slow walk code skipped one of every three frames, making link walk 2/3 as fast (on average) in a straight line, and 2/3 as fast diagonally.

Now, every third frame is skipped when moving in a straight line, and every other frame is skipped when moving diagonally. The end result is that Link moves 1/2 as fast (on average) in a straight line, and 1/2 as fast diagonally, in line with old (NES)-style animation slow walk.
