Herriman was able to spot Mifune starting to move aside, and began to compensate early. Although he wouldn't have to turn drastically in order to attack him, his momentum and speed were still diminished from not being able to run in a straight line. As he approached at just over three quarters of his original speed (a weak charge in a mortal man's hands, but fast enough that someone with Herriman's strength could still salvage something from it), Herriman started winding up with his pincer arm and his axe arm, essentially coming at Mifune with one arm wound backwards, pointing towards Mifune and the other raised firmly in the air, ready to come down on top of him.
