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.

Kohteen ympärillä streiffaaminen


Definition from own experience or research:
Kohteen ympärillä streiffaaminen vaikeuttaa vastustajan tähtäämistä sinuun, vastaavasti osuminen vastustajaan on helppoa...

Example sentence(s):
  • Streiffaus: Sivuttaisaskeleiden ottamista. Pelihahmon liikuttaminen sivusuunnassa, kylki edellä. - Livegamers Slangipankki  

Explanation:
Tietääkseni "strafing" sanalle ei ole suomalaista vastinetta, vaan yleisesti käytetään "streiffaus" - slangisanaa

sivuttain ympäri liikkuminen


Definition from own experience or research:
Vastustajan ympäri sivuttain liikkumisella yritetään vaikeuttaa vastustajan osumista sinuun. Vastustajan on vaikeampi pitää itsensä ympäri sivuttain liikkuvaa pelaajaa näköpiirissään.

Example sentence(s):
  • Missä streiffaus, eli sivulle kävely? Tulee niin mahoton epävarmuuden tunne, kun liikkuminen on turhan rajoitettua, ei tiedä missä viholliset luuraavat. - Forum  
  • Nuoli vasemmalle - Liikuttaa henkilön vasemmalle sivulle ”streiffaus” - Document - Tietokonegrafiikka  

Explanation:
Can choose between "juokseminen", "liikkuminen", "lentäminen" etc. depending on the game. Could also say "sivuttaissuunnassa ympäri liikkuminen" if more clarity is needed.
