Some games may allow player to choose when to enter combat mode of their own volition, others dictate it for them.
This may include entering a special combat screen or combat field separate of the game world otherwise traversed in.
Any and all cases of automated battles do NOT count, regardless if they enter a special screen or playing field to show how it resolves.
This is NOT for simply pulling out your gun and holstering it whenever you like, nor entering a combat stance.
