Please, fair fights are for suckers.
LOL so true.
A wise man once said, "If you're not cheating, you're not trying."
Leave fair fights for boxing matches and other professional competitions, or keep it to the sparring mat when training. When things are actually going down, cheat as early and often as possible, in every way you can. The dead can't complain about your methods.
I actually agree with this basic idea, but I disagree with the term "cheating", at least as it's used in this case. It's just plain smart to try and stack the odds in your favour, since in real life bullets, knives, headbutts, tax audits, and your girlfriend leaving you because "she needs time to find herself" all suck.
The Art Of War by Sun Tzu can basically be summarised as "use every advantage you have, and deny the enemy every advantage you can".
Even violence in their favor can result in a lucky bullet to the head.
If that's your attitude, why are you even playing a chance-based game?
This kind if strikes me as a shirty outlook, tbh. Every situation, no matter how things are stacked in your favour, has an element of risk. If you and the enemy are pointing guns at each other, and you're behind cover, from a higher angle, and they're out in 5he open, and you have a bigger gun, and the sun is in their eyes, and...they could still get lucky.
Real life is stranger than fiction, and you don't have to look very long to find stories of people dying to random stray shots, or the luckiest soldier ever having a bullet hit his pocket watch instead of his kidney, or stuff like that. You CANNOT predict/prepare for every single variable.
