Okay, here me out:

There you are, walking around in your suit, carrying only a power beam. You morph into your ball and roll about for a while, looking for that precious crate which contains that evil weapon which kills many a intergalactic bounty hunter. You fire a few shots. Damn. Only a Light Beam. Suddenly, without warning, another player jumps out from behind you and cries: WARNING! I'M GOING TO ATTACK YOU! Your lack of warning makes you disorientated for a moment as you swerve around trying to find the silent attacker. Only, you can't because you are frozen on the spot due the the fact that you've been hit by a charged shot from a dark beam. You mash the "B" button and fire back at him. The two of you strafe each other and fire beams, but you've just been hit with a charged shot again!. You're not doing well, 44 health remaining. But you've barely hurt your enemy, since he's still on 80 health. You have two options. Guess which one is right. (Hint: Not the text in red)

You decide to keep shooting, even though you aren't in good shape. Sure, you could run off and get a better weapon, but no, you're too macho. He keeps hitting you with that charged dark beam attack, meaning not only do you have less health, but also a worse weapon. Arrgghh. If only you hadn't been so macho. ZZZTTT. You're screen cuts out. You've died. You lose.


You decide to run. What else are you supposed to do? Fight back even though he has much more health and a better weapon? And, you've only just realized, he has massive damage as well. Better skedaddle. You transform into a morph ball and roll off, enemy hot on your heels. But, thankfully, there is a cannon. You roll into it. It pops up, also killing your enemy in the process. Whew, you think, wiping your sweaty controller against your pants. Good thing I decided to run. I might have died if I hadn't. 

So...Terfle...see what I mean?
