Obviously if you can stay away from your competition whole they are kicking each others asses, you wont get damage racked up. And if you dont get damage racked up, you (probably) wont get KOed. If you keep your lives while your opponents lose theirs, you get ahead! But you dont want to be thought of as a coward, so there are ways to hide that you are doing it. What are your ways, if you do it?
