So use that arguement in your next post? It's a valid arguement but the claw swipe itself is still plausable.
Imagine Ifrit turning his body to face Virus, which he'd have to if he's going for the throat, and swiping at the same time.
The way I see it is this:
-Headbutt hit, Virus is slid to where he's angled facing Ifrit's shoulder area. While in mid slid, attempts to bite Ifrit's eye.
-Instinctually Ifirt ducks his head, placing his ear where his eye would be, ear gets hit.
-Right as ear gets hit he attempts his throat attack, while also swiping his claws. (obviously this would require him to turn a bit considering Virus' current position so although they aren't exactly face to face they're pretty much to the point of facing each other enough for the swipe)
-As the throat attack is being attempted, Virus lands and does his pivot. (Which would be a reasonable dodge)
PROBLEM
However the swiping is still occuring at the same time the throat attack was, so timing wise close to when Virus landed and began his second pivot to get to shoulder to shoulder. However swiping arm is hindering that because he's swiping from the direction Virus is pivoting towards.
So, honestly, I say the fight should continue and in your next post you'd have to address the swipe. It is plausable though, if anything Ifrit would have to edit is to legitimately say he turned to face Virus as he's going for the throat which can be safely assumed since Virus' throat isn't right in front of him after the ear clip.
If you want we can bring it to an MO team discussion but I honestly don't see what's invalid about Ifrit's post/attempts
