I get a perfect stealth kill, but of course this alerts a nearby bunny. So I have to duke it out with him, but he knocks me down once, and then my bunny tries to get up, get knocked down before I can react, and then my bunny tries to get up, get knocked down before I can react, and then my bunny tries to get up, get knocked down before I can react, and then I die.

What am I supposed to do?

Try rolling away from enemies.

^ ^ ^ yes indeed!

Also, you can handspring away from them, which can be a little faster and which looks very cool... I'm pretty rusty at the controls, but I think you hold the "back up" button-- the "s" key in wasd-- and hold down the attack button on the mouse.

The more beat up your bunny gets the slower he gets up, and the same vulnerability goes for your opponents-- the 2nd or 3rd time your enemy gets up is a great time to Rabbit Kick/Leg Cannon them into a wall!! wheee!

I have a bad habit of being roundhouse-kicked into oblivion if I'm not careful about my handsprings. I generally find rolling to be much safer.

I might be wrong, but i´m pretty sure you can avoid falling damage with a handspring by pressing space just as you hit the ground in active ragdoll.

Yes this is true and very useful to master. aside from avoiding falling damage, it keeps you moving, rather than on the ground and stationary

Handspringing off of a structure can also vault you down really quickly and put you closer to the ground, so there's less of a chance of even going into ragdoll mode in the first place.

Yes, same with rolling off. I'll have to try the space thing, although I have recovered from a missed rabbit kick that way before, albeit accidentally.
