Erm, not sure when I go into midair, as the only really occurred after the shoulder bash, as that would be needed to strike you because of the uppercut I performed. As it stands, while I deliver the series of punches, I'm still touching the ground. And nothing in your move really seems to me as something that would make me go into mid-air. Hence, I'll with the move with the understanding that I'm still on the ground when you punch me.
*As Guv delivered his first punch towards Kirito, a log appeared where Kirito was. Guv smirked again:*
Kawarimi jutsu I see... now where did he go...
*Guv grabbed a shuriken, and tossed it behind him as hears Kirito scream.*
Again Kirito... such a dis-
*However, Kirito poofed. Guv showed a shocked expression, as he didn't anticipate a clone, as he hears Kirito shout, "this is it". Guv looked back to his front, and sees Kirito jumping out of a tree, with his fist pulled back. Guv rolls to his left, and successfully dodges the punch. Yet, the punches momentum still sends him skirting about two feet away, tumbling away from his roll. Guv stands up, still slightly dizzy, but still pulls off a successful defensive stance, with his right fist facing upwards in front of his body, and his left fist closer to his body. Yet, his legs aren't in a proper stance, as they are still wobbling. He was in no condition to make a forward initiative, so thus he waited for Kirito's move.*
