Of course when they get close I tend to hold my shot until I get it so I cannot miss them because they are doing something dumb, like running at me when I back myself into a corner and they have no way to avoid the hit.

If they're locked into melee though what choice do they have? This is where my samurai analogy comes back out.

It does significantly limit the amount of characters that can effectively fight guns.

I guess you could say the same about flying opponents though, which accounts for the somewhat lack-lustre end to the WOTW tournament the year prior to when I showed up.
