English term or phrase: circle strafing
Definition from Wikipedia:
In video games, particularly in first-person shooters (FPSs), circle strafing is the technique of moving around a target in a circle while facing it. Circle strafing allows a player to fire continuously at an opponent while dodging counterattacks. By rapidly circling the opponent, the player evades the opponent's sights.

Example sentence(s):
  • But the ability to turn quickly with your mouse is a good way to counter circle strafing tactics, in my opinion. And it really irritates circle strafers when your always facing them. breakfastatwar.wordpress.com
  • Soldiers are good targets for circle strafing. Unless they rocket jump out of the center of the strafe and shoot at the scout while in the air. elgms.com
  • Of course, Circle Strafing isn't meant to be a free win against a good player. It's meant to crush baddies into dust by taking advantage of the lag inherent in online games. IGN Entertainment, Inc.

円陣掃射


Definition from DOOM@Wiki 円陣掃射:
円陣掃射(Circle strafing)は敵の周囲を回りながら攻撃する戦術である。攻撃しながらにして、敵の視界からプレイヤーを隠したり出したりするのに役立つ。この戦術は発射弾を使う相手に対して特に威力を発揮する。


欠点としては、それなりに広い空間が必要なことと、常に照準を合わせてくる即着弾を使うNPCの敵の存在である。

Example sentence(s):
  • [2.11] Circle Strafing is a Closer Friend このテクニックを学ぶ事は難しいと言える。しかし最後には自分の利益となります。 目標を中心にして、その廻りを円形に廻りながら、常にその中心に目標を捕らえているようにして下さい。途中で目標を見失わないようにして下さい。 - DROOGIE'S UNREAL TOURNAMENT FAQ (Japanes  
  • またマウサー特有の機動に"circle strafe"と呼ばれるものがあります。左右どちらかのカニ歩き(strafe)キーを押しながらマウスを使って照準をターゲットに合わせ続け、円弧を描いて移動するテクニックで、初心者やシングルプレイヤーゲームのモンスターをやっつけるのに便利なものですが、少し経験を積むか設定ファイルをチューニング済みのキーボーダーにはあまり役に立ちません。 - Quake Ex-Keyboarder Anonymous
