Regular '''Strafing''' is the act of moving from side to side during a confrontation in order to make it harder for an opponent to hit you. This strategy is invaluable for [[Sniper]]s attempting to snipe other Snipers. Generally used to help [[Scout]]s survive by avoiding most types of splash and projectile damage. The strafing technique is vital for [[Pyro]]s in order to successfully survive after performing an ambush attack. The strafing technique greatly benefits [[Spy]]s attempting to maneuver whilst cloaked, though it is generally a useful maneuver for any class. | Regular '''Strafing''' is the act of moving from side to side during a confrontation in order to make it harder for an opponent to hit you.

'''[[Circle Strafing]]''' is the act of circling round an opponent in order to deal damage at close range, while still making it difficult for their shots to hit you. It is an invaluable move for Scouts and [[Pyro]]s, who rely heavily on hit-and-run tactics. Agile [[Scout]]s and [[Pyro]]s can also use circle strafing to run around [[Sentry Gun]]s and destroy them without taking lethal amounts of damage. | '''[[Circle Strafing]]''' is the act of circling round an opponent in order to deal damage at close range, while still making it difficult for their shots to hit you.

'''Zig-Zagging''' refers to the act of strafing continually while moving across an open space. Doing this makes it harder for [[Sniper]]s to hit you, as well as other medium to long ranged classes. | '''Zig-Zagging''' refers to the act of strafing continually while moving across an open space.

'''Air Strafing''' is the act of strafing whilst in the air. It is a method used mostly by [[Soldier]]s and [[Demoman]]s to avoid incoming [[air shot]]s. It consists on strafing at the air without pressing the forward button and moving the mouse sideways. It can be also be performed by other classes, but with a higher difficulty since they can't perform higher jumps without depending on other players explosions. | '''Air Strafing''' is the act of strafing whilst in the air.
