You misunderstand. I'm saying if Talon hits someone with his sword... he can IMMEDIATELY activate those abilities to increase damage or rend limbs from bodies.How would one stop that if the attack had already hit, hmm?

That doesn't mean they can't continue to attack, depending on who they are.

For instance, if you hit Khan's Sand dude with it, he can possibly still hit you with any ability he has charged - unless you blow was a killing one.

It comes down to reflexes, if they can do something to stop you from executing the next motion - then you are SOL.
