Flips will never, ever, make any sense whatsoever.
The problem is this contrived kayfabe idea that a flip gives someone a high enough ATK stat to dish out pain on a dude the same size of you or three times as large.
In reality, all it is is a high risk manuever that risks killing your career and brushing your weak capabilities to tell an in ring story under a rug. It's just pure distraction and rarely makes any sense.
This is my problem with Zack Saber Jr, for example. The guy has the technical prowess to counter any move yet despite this kayfabe fact, he feels like he needs to cut away from that system, launch himself into the air, and for what? Weaken his opponent who could have just as easily been as hurt by a series of ground moves?
I do not get it. It's just fancy peacock circus antics.
