Circle strafing involves strafing around an opponent while facing them (likely shooting at them). This exploits the limited turning speed of an opponent and helps with evading their attacks whilst returning fire. This is often used in games, but can also be found in other genres, including games such as Toshinden and Soul Calibur as well as 's such as World of Warcraft (Game) and TERA.
