Consider movement for approach and retreat

The Steam body saved on October 14 describes the grappling hook and double jumps for pursuit, repositioning and escaping pressure; it also lists G for the glider. Distinguish approaching an opponent from evading and rebuilding distance. These are documented features and keys, not tested input, verified availability in every mode or measured movement performance.
