It's still a chronology of your character, compared to Sigurd:

jumping, landing, turning, stepping forward, throwing out a palm strike, stepping forward again, compared to
throwing, stepping sideways, stepping back, feinting axe throw. 

The axe throw feint is launched at the same time Sigurd pulls back his shield and your character throws out a palm strike, so I seriously doubt his entire body has somehow moved out the way of the axe's possible flight path by the time that feint happens unless Gigue's palm strike was actually some kind of running move, regardless I seriously doubt Gigue is so quick that he's beside Sigurd before he can shake his arm, as that is your follow up to the palm strike which was aimed at Sigurd's outstretched shield, and therefore some distance away.

Not that it matters very much, but your character isn't really remarked to be exceedingly agile or fast, if he were I would have to ask how it was fair that he also has strength greater than every other character in the tournament and an infallible magic shield to boot.
