#that said i would've been better off Super Jumping away anyways. that's a really scary place to fight up close as an Explosher

A strategic tip: Most players, when they're searching for enemies, will almost never think to look upwards. Our terrestrial primate brains naturally expect everyone to be at ground level. Take advantage of this! When you only have a moment to hide, hiding above plain sight can be a great idea. Just look at the amazing results that can be achieved when this technique is applied in battle:
