Is Spiral bugged when throwing her SP1

Why can defenders be able to block,perry or other half way through her SP1. This reduces her damage output and she can be counted before she finishes. Is this a bug? Fight NF and you will see what I mean

Workaround, throw your SP1 while you still would have 1 hit of a combo available to do (just don’t use final combo hit, throw SP1 instead at that time).
But hey it’s the holidays🤷♂️
