Right, like I said, it's a slippery slope, but just forbidding "targetting" an illegal strike is a cleaner way to police it than whatever that cluster was.
Yeah, Moose used great technique in pulling CW up, but what if it had been just a touch less effective? He clearly knees a downed opp.
Yeah, it will remove a few strikes from the arsenal but if an opponent is downed or very nearly downed, just strike another way.
