I prefer freeform, but dice rolling tends to be my go to when running a combat based event for people due to speed. they know the outcome of the exchange, so can emote appropriately.
That being said, as for the fighting other players and people not wanting to lose, I would hope that wouldn't be said of me, when fighting some members of Nights Blades a while back, Nako tended to use his agility, yes, but when push came to shove, he wasn't trained/quick enough and ended up with a sword nailing his forearm to his shield.
When fighting NPC's I have no compunctions about the style of rp I use, and Nako can be quite violent, but I tend to use immobilizing abilties when fighting PC's, risk of massive injury yes, but never risk of death for them.
I have heard stories from members of my FC about people who no sell on pretty much anything that was done to them, however, and people like that make me sad. If your not going to risk anything, and just want to find a platform to show how amazing you are, just leave me out of it.
