Sort of reviving this "topic"...but time over, I still feel that is not really a headbutt. It's the tenno gashing the guts out of the enemy after jabs their claws into the enemy's innards.

"Lunging his head forward too prominently for it not to be headbutt"? Some stances over exagerate movements (and for good purpose of making the stances look "artistic" and "dealing the damage in both numbers and motion"), so I wouldn't be suprised if they overdid the head flinging forward as the tenno slashes out their arms to the sides. I still don't feel that the headbutt (and the stagger) are part of the move.

Realistically speaking, look at how Venging Thrash is initiated. First you initiate the first one-two basics, followed by a triple jab into the enemy's guts with the right claw. Thereafter, you slick the right then left claws into that gashed gut as if you are going to rip open something. And finally, the rip-out...honestly, would you headbutt your head into the gutted stomach of this enemy? I would say unlikely...
