No, no the attack is fine. it isn't bugged yet.
The animation, however, makes me want to cry.
Hope, however! I have confirmed with a friend that every once in a while, the GOOD kicking animation, the one the Cyborgs use, will sneak in... and it looks very cool.
PLEASE replace the BoP 90* rotate anim with the regular kick one... it looks much nicer. Several people said that they would switch back to using it if it used that animation.
