[ The bullheaded blunt instrument of a fighter Godzilla usually is would typically meet an assault like this with a charge of his own, or to take the blow like a steadfast rock against the battering ocean. A Godzilla that's learned a thing or two about swordsmanship knows that the better option is to use his opponent's momentum and force to his own advantage rather than try to absorb all of it.
He raises his sword to meet Raidou's a few seconds earlier than he might normally have, attempting to put the reach advantage to use to intercept before Raidou is even close enough to strike. In the same motion Godzilla steps to the side out of Raidou's path, pushing with his sword off in the direction the young man charges to further use his own speed.
Godzill also doesn't have a concept of "dirty fighting". Which is why he takes the moment to aim a stomp at Raidou's shin. ]
