Turning the other fist is sure to surprise your enemy and give you an edge in a uneven fight. It's one of the few dirty tricks a Hero can pull off because that moment of turning away seems to involve a deep moral conflict, even when it doesn't.

The enemy is taunting you. He's making fun of your parentage and the size of your manhood. Nevertheless, you start walking away from the confrontation. Maybe you're severely outnumbered or maybe you just want to be the better man. After all, UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} said, "TurnTheOtherCheek." But maybe you have friends or lovers watching. Maybe the guy taunting [[SpeakIllOfTheDead a fallen comrade]]. Maybe he starts [[AndYourLittleDogToo making veiled threats to your loved ones]]. Suddenly you turn the other fist and strike, taking your enemy totally off guard.
