In my case, I'm not exactly providing you with "What If" moves so much as forewarning you about potential openings and mistakes. I'm not having Kull commit to any attacks, as can be seen, which is vital to the difference. The point of doing this could be purposed to make an opponent hesitant to attack, or to open them up to the mental possibility of losing, all good applications. Note that in my last OOC post, I stated that "What If" moves could provoke metagaming. This isn't provoking metagame. This is called mindgaming, trying to influence an opponent's actions by providing them with observable information that may be fairly and realistically divined. You're doing it too, so you may already know what I'm talking about. Your posts ooze confidence and assurance. You constantly refer to my character, from your character's point of view, as prey. You make your advantages crystal clear to invoke feelings of unease and uncertainty in opponents. All classic examples of mindgaming, just like how I detail Kull's sure death radius, building him up to be as intimidating as possible. Keep in mind that though the two may intermingle, mindgaming isn't always the same as bluffing, though that doesn't become apparent without results. Results, after all, define whether or not what we do is genuinely effective or not.

Consider what'd happen if I didn't know how to use a sword when a fight started, despite using a character stated to be an expert with blades, and I Googled it the day after because my opponent suggested it. That's perfectly acceptable. You aren't learning some nasty secret integral to my battle plan, or a fact about my character that you shouldn't. You might just be enlightened on your own character's build, information I'm freely sharing with you to my own detriment, which, depending on how you process it, may either positively or negatively influence the fight. I'm making this obvious so it's a positive influence, hopefully. Purely informative. It's always a good time to share information, and to learn!
