So if I'm reading this right, he has the eight legs of a spider, coupled with the torso of a human and six arms sprouting from the shoulders?
I'm fine either way.
Go ahead and post your character LeeRoy. If Vordak doesn't like the power level I can fight him separately.
Yes, those kind are fine, though they do need to be physically possible. If you were using a two-handed claymore in the second example, for instance, you wouldn't be able to stop it in time to perform the stab, simply due to its weight and momentum (unless your character is super-humanly strong or wasn't intending to do any actual damage with the original attack and swung slowly without much power behind it).
Legit interruptions are my bread and butter, my friend, but in every other instance I have seen them used, they can only be performed on your actions by your opponent. As a general rule of thumb, you cannot interrupt your own action. This prevents the fight from devolving into a "he twitched his thumb so I knew he would attack thusly, so my own action from the beginning of my last post changes to counter it", followed by "I noticed he saw my thumb twitch and his stance changed, so I abandon my original attack and initiate this new one", followed by "his thumb may have twitched, but now his foot has angled slightly, so my own counter changes to this maneuver in order to defeat his new attack" scenario. Thirty posts could cover no more than three seconds of observation with no actual attacks being made, because each writer is constantly interrupting their own characters actions.

Barring an actual interruption from your opponent, each of your posts should follow a linear progression starting at the last action performed in your previous post and moving forward. 'Tis the nature of written combat I'm afraid, as otherwise a match can very easily devolve into a stalemate of "he did this, so I changed that".
I'm looking for a one on one fight somewhere between the power levels of peak human and Doctor Strange. You can submit a character here and I'll look them over and (if approved) will either create a new character to match them or use an existing one, which you can then approve before we start the match.

The only requirements are that you be able to post at least once a day, and have a decent understanding of written combat. Any takers?
He ripped himself free of her claws, and she jerked her head to the side, only narrowly avoiding the kick. When he spun and ran off, her first instinct was to follow, but when even a single step sent pain tearing through her body, she gasped and fell back against the wall, then sunk to the floor. It felt like every inch of her body was in agony, and the feeling was only made worse by the healing factor that kept every nerve pristine.

Maybe just this once she could let him go and finish the contract later. After all, he wouldn't exactly be hard to find. She tried standing again and her still-healing chest exploded in pain. Yeah, she could kill him later. For now she'd just sit here and heal.
The slash was already moving and would have hit before the shoulder closed the distance.
What about the swipe at his non-gun arm? If he didn't have time to pull the arm back, he wouldn't have time to shove her into the wall before it hit either.
Ah, right. I'm not sure exactly... I haven't done any estimates on travel time yet. I was going to write their arrivals in my next post.
