Watching the Camille Special Interactions video and she kicks with the wrong side sometimes?

Video link is here.

In the segments where it shows her autoattacking, it shows her doing what seems like a back hook kick, but that ends up with her kicking with the non-bladed back side of her leg. The next kick animation after that is a roundhouse/sweeping kick with the bladed side, which seems correct. But later on in the video, it shows her doing what seems to be an axe-kick (sweeping down), which means the enemy would be hit with the non-bladed portion mostly, and then just the tip.

Is that intentional? Just wondering.

Well, if she specializes in different kind of kicks, I don't think she can force every kick to be a blade without repeating very specific movements.

Imagine if she only uses round houses because that's one of the few kicks with the bladed side. If you survive long enough, she becomes predictable. At least with the others, she can do feints and catch people off guard.

Makes sense.

I'm just wondering why she wouldn't turn/twist around to hit them with the bladed side, or just make both sides bladed.

Most likely functional design.

Having to keep both edges sharp. The fact that keeping one side a blade and the other means she can alternate between a blunt strike and slicing strike. That and, well, she needs to be able to put her own hands on said legs from time to time. Can't do that if it's full blade.
