People not knowing where the forfeit button is located is because of bad UI design. You don't solve that by having a box that says "TEH YOU LOSE BUTTON IS UNDER OPTIONS" because that looks bad :P Anyway, I agree with OP.

Like dutchmafia said, you will rarely ever have true 50/50 situations. If it's a life or death situation, there's almost always more to it than "zomg my char is going to die". If you want to know what to do in life or death situations, look ahead at least a turn. Ask yourself things like will the opponent be able to change ranges if he attacks you? Do you have a hits fleeing character that can kill the opponent after your character dies? What's the possibility of the opponent switching in a hits fleeing character instead of attacking/intercepting? What moves are completely unexpected in this situation, yet leave you in better shape than before? IMO being better than someone else at this game means you must see more than the opponent.
