I use min e to avoid confrontations because ironically I am pretty gentle I do not like to hurt so I let them punch me or whatever then pretend very convincingly like it had no effect then I start to laugh one time this guy just kept attacking and just through sheer willpower I kept laughing before catching his fist and breaking his wrist, brought him to his knees then kneed him in the face.
And one other time just as I perfected my Joker laugh (by depriving myself of 20 seconds of oxygen) I started laughing maniacally and for some reason I couldn't stop no matter how hard I tried I was stuck in this maniacal fit even after being punched in the gut several times eventually I stopped by holding my breath and punching myself several times.
