I personally like to start off by targeting someone (a guard typically), charging at them with hidden-blade readied, and pressing square when close enough to jump on them while ramming the blade through their face or in their back once they're on the ground. To follow up with either sword or short blade, with offensive swings, while using the R1 counter-attack (very handy I've found once circled by people and somebody you're not swinging at attacks, lol), to usually get things down to two or three guards... to end up having them either follow me up a ladder to throw them to their doom... or to have them follow me to a cliff where I launch them to their maker. *w00t*

PS - As said above, I also love it when one tries to run and escape at the end of the fight... chasing them through town to jump on them with the hidden blade. (Pretty funny that for a "stealth assassin" I'm chasing a guard through the town, making myself high profile, in order to take him out...); of course, it does bother me when two end up running for their lives... because by the time you kill the first, the second usually manages to escape... and I have a strict zero-survivor policy, roflmbo!!

I was on a rooftop in Jerusalem, just hanging around with my throwing knives ready in case of archers, when one saw me. He started to yell at me, i threw a knife, and he was killed.

I like running and tackling those guards off a cliff outside the assassin temple place. The best is no one usually notices.
