The damage would obviously add up. There’s a pretty big gap between damn near auto rock and “doesnt cause much damage”.

Hell i’d be okay with the current damage if we were given an option to defend.

Free hits shouldnt exist. The way the current body kick mechanic works it’s essentially an extension of parries from last year. You’re stuck watching your fighter take a free shot just because they reacted/guessed your attack.
