Verb. The act of humiliating someone by fooling them into getting mercilessly stabbed in the back.
It's so sad when people get trickstabbed and try to save face by claiming it was a facestab...
A word commonly used in the Team Fortress 2 community meaning a skill/action in which the player, playing as the Spy, uses certain types of movements to trick an enemy into doing actions that leads them to vulnerable positions, which the player can take advantage of by backstabbing them.
Vulnerable positions means positions where the enemy player's back (which is where the spy can backstab them) is exposed to the spy, often leading to the spy backstabbing them.
This can be done by tricking the enemy into making them turn to a certain direction or lead them to a position that makes their backs exposed.
That pro spy just trickstabbed me!
He is very good at trickstabbing
I wish I can trickstab like him
In the popular FPS Team Fortress 2, the class "Spy" uses his butterfly knife to instantly kill enemies from behind. This is called Backstabbing, and it usually involves sneaking behind players. However, Trickstabbing usually means the enemy is aware of your presence, and you still manage to strafe behind, jump over, or dodge them to still get a backstab.
Player 1: Stupid weeb, trickstabs are so unfair.
Player 2: Get over it, trickstabbing takes skill.
