Running

This is a Public Service Announcement regarding running.

Why running is effective

• When you run, you are in control of the battle. You stop, the opponent stops. You run, the opponent runs. 
• Running also puts you in a better position to deal damage than the opponent. They run jump to catch up, you throw a knife. They roll towards you, you kick. 
• Lets you collect items/health on the way
• If you are fighting a melee player, their damage is mostly limited to their special and items.
• If you are fighting a ranged player, their damage is limited to their ranged attack which slows them down, and allows you to escape. 
• The opponent can only damage you significantly with combos (rope + bomb, double coconuts)
• Finally, the opponent usually gets more annoyed the longer you run. This causes them to make mistakes or vent about how you're a "coward" in chat.

Why complaining about running is stupid (in fort).

•  See the list above. Running is effective whether you like it or not.
• You are not in arena. A player has every right to play the way they want
•  If you are chasing the king, they has more to lose than you (in 1v1 battles). 
•  Calling someone a "coward" in an online game is dumb.

Running tips.

• Always keep at least one health pot on you. Makes you less vulnerable to accidental hits and item combos
• Jump off cliffs a lot. Most of the times, the opponent will also jump, giving you a free hit.
• Wood is pretty useful. They can be used quickly to trade in for items.
• This strategy works really well with bow. Just hit them with arrows/special. Repeatedly.
• Place mines in bottlenecks. This will force them to jump away from you (buys time), or towards you (free damage or mine kill)
• Avoid spawn areas and go to areas with crates.
• Only use your special when the opponent is vulnerable (rolling, jumping, just used shield). 
• Know the map (and its bugs).
