The problem is, right now there is no reason to ever use Dizzy Punch. So there is no reason for Dizzy Punch to be on the card.

Dizzy Punch:
- has 1 less attack die than Kangaskhan's normal attack
- does not get height bonuses
- only has a 20% chance for taking a turn and OM removal
- has no guarantee that the OM you remove isn't the X marker
- is useless for OM removal on your 3rd turn if you lost initiative

On the other hand:
- Dizzy Punch is a special attack, which is much better against those pesky Warriors of Ashra.

Maybe, maybe on your first turn during a round you might decide to take a chance on Dizzy Punch. But it's just too unreliable to really be of any use right now.

On the other hand, this is only the first complete playtest (Chardar did do the heroes tests--and Dizzy Punch never confused anyone). So I'm willing to wait for the other playtests and see how it does.
