I think it depends on what you do to them. If you kick them with a rising kick, and they don't block it, they will naturally rise with the direction of the force you apply.

As it's not 3-D hit detection, the game will not support spinning hits to the side, though perhaps this idea would be better suited to letter.

Either way, I think this is an engine concern and is a good idea for MK7. As the game is in final debugging, it's not my belief that they could fix it.

yeah not so much as flipping sidways. its when it says like " finish him " you hit them in the face the wabble back then stand straight up. and fall down.
