As the blade bounced off my baton, he reversed the direction his upper body was turning to start spinning like a top.

By putting one arm forward first, he increases the distance the other arm has to build momentum for the sledgeblade. This next hit is going to be even harder.

His one attached arm hurtling around him, he sprung at me.  I threw myself back and away, escaping by a mere two inches.

Watch out for the arm! Presumably he took into account Skitter backing away from the body lunge when aiming his arm swing.

Unless I’m reading this wrong and Skitter just avoided the arm swing rather than the lunge.

His spinning upper body had, with his right arm spooled out, caused the chain to wind around his body.  He began reeling it in, the arm and blade drawing a lazy circle around him.

!!!

Ooh, I think we found his weakness. Too much spinning and such, and he risks tying himself up, leaving him open to attack while reeling in, or even so tied up that he can’t do much. That sounds like it would be a glorious way to defeat him.

I backed away, thinking I finally had a chance to get my bearings.

Right, leaving him open to attack and giving the opponent time to do other things.
