Just to be clear, you said "How about this as a compromise: Javik feels the push and so abandons his kick so as to not be knocked over?" Abandon means in this case aborting a kick that was already started, which makes sense to me since everything is happening way too fast. I have said that Cappi's push would execute as Javik was mid kick, so Cappi's push would barely start before Javik started his kick.
I think you're lumping Javik's multiple actions into one. If Javik's foot doesn't kick at all, which I don't believe is possible nor what I thought we decided on, then Javik would be able to resist the simple push. With Javik's left leg staying put behind him so that both Cappi and Javik are profile to each other, then Javik could easily resist the push and then he could swivel his left foot around forward. But then Javik wouldn't have access to Cappi's exposed side. And since Javik is in the process of swiveling his foot around to a parallel stance, at the very least Javik's shoulders would be pushed back and he'd not be allowed to bring his left hand in close like that either. I've been saying that Cappi's shove would have happened as Javik was mid kick, so for Javik to feel Cappi's push, decide not to kick, and then react with his left hand's lightning is not something that can be done that fast imo.
I don't think their sabers would still be touching if Javik resisted b/c their sabers would naturally be pushed away from each other, not to mention their bodies would be pushed away from each other, if not Javik's then Cappi's. And Javik would be resisting Cappi's push first in one moment before he then released the lightning. Plus, if Cappi's profile, then that means he's behind his lightsaber and pushing his lightsaber out while in the process of turning more behind the lightsaber than before with the left shoulder coming forward.
These are my main points:
Javik initiates the kick, however minutely. He'd need to commit a moment to aborting the kick to put his foot back down and then resist the shove, which means left leg stays back behind him and supports himself before he turns fully forward to use lightning. In that time Cappi's saber has released, is in position, and Cappi is less profile and more behind his saber. Javik has either used lightning before turning close while he's profile to Cappi which means no access to exposed right side or Javik has let a moment pass before using lighting which means Cappi's saber releases and Cappi's saber catches the lightning.
Sorry this is a rough patch in our relationship. I'll buy you flowers and chocolates. Milk chocolates! @Phœnix
