Phase let out a gasp and did what he did best.  He phased into intangibility for the brief moment Unique passed through him and he phased back.  He didn't want to strike out just yet, but he did anyway with an improper kick.  Rather than snapping his leg, he just swung it out.  In reality Phase didn't want to fight, but he did it for the entertainment of the crowd and chance to say, "I competed in the Zem Games."
