Player Tic	comment	The curious tendency of video game players to do completely unnecessary actions over and over and over again—regardless of their actual effect on gameplay. In Platformers, some people will jump and Double Jump even when they're not crossing platforms—they simply bound across the landscape. In an Action-Adventure game, they might turn an Unnecessary Combat Roll into an Unnecessary Anything Roll, somersaulting everywhere they go. A First-Person Shooter player with unlimited ammo might just unload rounds into the environment. An RPG player waiting for an Overly Long Fighting Animation to finish might mash their buttons in time with the music. Reason? There generally is none. Gameplay advantage? Minimal. It's mostly just gamers pressing buttons to, well, press buttons—and maybe break up the monotony of long stretches of gameplay where there's not much else to do, like traveling over the Hub Level before getting the Warp Whistle, or to fill the time in RPG battles without Action Commands. Depending on your theological color, they may even be attempts to appease the mighty and fickle Random Number God, especially when attempting a Tool-Assisted Speedrun. Common tics include: Jumping (and double-jumping) incessantly while traveling. That goes double if jumping at the end of the level or when the screen freezes. (e.g. Flip-Screen Scrolling) Doing much the same as the above, only executing any sort of attack with forward momentum (such as a roll or spin). If there's a delay between pushing a button and it making something happen (such as with an elevator), repeatedly pressing the button while waiting. While waiting, attacking randomly. Firing at walls and air, especially if ammo is not an issue. Tapping buttons in the rhythm of the music. Jumping through boss doors, if applicable. Destroying everything destroyable onscreen even when there's no need to. Adjusting the camera when there's no need to. Finishing off Big Damn Enemies with hilariously weak attacks... or doing just the opposite, even if they only have a sliver of health left. Singing loudly the victory fanfare when it's played after a successful battle or a level. Tilting the controller while turning in a racing game. Moving one's head in a first person game when looking around corners, especially first person shooters. Making sure the character faces the "right" way while on a moving platform or otherwise standing still. Holding down the attack button in a game that doesn't let you run faster by holding down the attack button. If these tics become widespread enough in a fanbase, they may even inspire an Urban Legend of Zelda about their effectiveness. See also Video Game Cruelty Potential, Video Game Caring Potential, Die, Chair, Die!, and Kleptomaniac Hero for especially common forms of this.

Player Tic / int_11fd7982	comment	Shooting a door repeatedly Metroid Prime games even though you only need one shot to load the next room. This is because sometimes the first release of the first game, if none of the others, doesn't register the single shot and you actually did have to fire repeatedly, a very annoying factor when you were just trying to avoid killing your thousandth Chozo Ghost or mook Pirate. Eventually, most players just got into the habit of spamming shots so they didn't have to worry whether the first one would work.

Player Tic / int_1cc8e29f	comment	Destiny and its sequel have a lot of these, and they frequently get lampshaded and mocked in the lore. Some of the more notable: Spamming dance emotes in inappropriate situations, up to and including in the middle of combat or while driving vehicles. Using the selfie emote to take photos with fellow players, NPCs, and even bosses. Goofing around in the Hub City in general. Rare is it for you to not see Guardians playing with the bouncy ball, dancing, climbing things they shouldn't (and then falling to their deaths), and pestering vendors. Using the point emote to dramatically/threateningly point at bosses. At least one of them, Crota, will point back!

Player Tic / int_20336460	comment	Jagged Alliance 2 players are known for hoarding equipment from all over the map into one sector, using teams of mules and/or the helicopter to speed the process up. This might actually be useful with ammo, explosives and attachments, but players tend to hoard everything, including useless items and obsolete guns and ammo. After clearing the majority of the map, a hoard sector can easily contain thousands of items. The amount of effort required to properly hoard everything on the map is considerable, and could take several days if done all at once.

Player Tic / int_2138ed5f	comment	Back dash canceling also counts. An attack animation, especially a long one, can be cancelled by dashing backwards. People who stopped back dashing as their main method of transportation may find themselves canceling out of even really quick attacks where the time between attacks is negligible (and might even cause it to take longer to attack again if the weapon has short reach) or even if it only takes one attack to kill an enemy. With Harmony of Despair, it was discovered, or made popular, that the Back Dash itself can be cancelled by crouching, and so everyone started attacking, back dashing and then crouching and then standing again to attack again for infinite back dash cancelling... but then they started doing it on the main, non-multiplayer games where it only helps speedrunners.

Player Tic / int_2819aebd	comment	Mega Man (Classic) games: Jumping while going through boss doors or any other screen transitions in. If the tunnel to the boss room contains icy floor, building up speed by walking forward, then turning around and moonwalking through the boss doors. The Flash-based Mega Man-inspired Platform Hell game Jinsei Owata No Daibouken actually takes advantage of this tic by placing Spikes of Doom on the upper half of the door's other side, killing you instantly if you jump through rather than walking. In the 8-bit games and Mega Man 7, slightly tapping the directional pad/button in the direction Mega Man is facing will cause his leg to twitch forward. He could also move a tiny bit if held down for a split second, but not long enough that he flat-out starts running. Doing it rapidly from left to right makes it look like he's dancing. Likewise, performing it in the same direction rapidly makes him look like he's being very cautious. This leg twitch animation that seems so minor was even featured for Mega Man's appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series. Dashing through the doors in the Mega Man X series is common. Clinging to a wall so that your character would enter a door backwards is also something some people liked to do. Sliding through the doors is something people like to do in the classic series as well. It's impossible to jump or dash through the doors in the Mega Man Zero and Mega Man ZX series, though; In those games, your character does their walking animation regardless of what they were doing as they go through a door. Although in ZX Advent, if you slide into a door they will move to the next room in mid-jump pose, which some players do just for that. In games that let you charge the buster, and if you're playing as X in the X series, you'll always be charging a shot until you get to an enemy. Then you'll stop when you get to the boss, and then start again during the boss intro, maybe even stopping and starting again to see how many times to can reach a full charge during particularly lengthy intros. Speaking of the Mega Man X games, nobody ever walks in them, only dashing everywhere. Mega Man X had dashing as an upgrade and so you were forced to, but once you got it all bets were off. Some people, not liking having to constantly press the dash button, dash and then jump, usually at the end of the dash to prolong the speedboost. Also, during bosses, most of your time WILL be on the walls, only jumping down to attack, or to go to the other wall. As the series went on, bosses either had to use attacks that hit the air, remove the walls from the arena entirely or have different attack patterns depending on if you're on the wall or ground. In the Mega Man Star Force series, people will often use the lock on technique to attack enemies even when not necessary. Lampshaded by Omega-Xis who says it's not necessary but can make battles easier or cooler, as it's accompanied by dramatic camera angles (which can be turned off, but who'd do that?) Also present for some people is waiting for the main melody of the battle theme to begin before picking Battle cards in the first round.

Player Tic / int_2a893b9b	comment	Players who keep switching between weapons in Counter-Strike, for no reason at all. There is a small benefit to doing so: if you reload a weapon then switch it, it skips the reloading animation while still topping your weapon off to full. It was discovered that reloading and switching back-and-forth was faster than merely allowing the reloading animation to play through.

Likewise, jumping while trying to avoid an AOE attack, despite the fact that jumping doesn't affect your momentum. Using dancing emotes when waiting for a player or the party to ready up before a duty begins. Players using an overly elaborate or funny message when they activate a skill via macros. This is acknowledged by the developers in one fight where the boss will be shouting their ultimate skill name in the same way most players would do when they use their limit breaks. Using dancing emotes when going idle.

Player Tic / int_49ad83ee	comment	Jumping in World of Warcraft: Doesn't help that the elven races and the worgen have a 50/50 chance of doing a midair flip/spin. People in battlegrounds waiting for the battle to begin have much the same problem as above Team Fortress 2 players. They also get infinite mana and have big shiny buffs. Especially Paladins, Druids, and Monks fighting to see which of them get to place the 5% stat buff. When riding towards the enemy in Alterac Valley many players tend to use the /train emote, which makes their character make train noises. When riding on the underground tram or a ship, it's not unusual for the players to start dancing to pass the time. If there's more than one player, then they'll start dancing in groups. Shaman players will even place down their totems to add to the ambience. In the Darkmoon Faire, using the /cheer emote during the Elite Tauren Chieftains concert to get the "Pumped Up!" buff. Yes, it raises all of your stats but lasts a measly 5 minutes which is not enough time to do anything really important. Still, it makes you feel, well, pumped up.

Mario Kart Wii introduced "tilt controls" to the series as a control option to capitalize on this, wherein you can use the controller's gyro sensor to steer the car. Wii in particular even came bundled with a plastic steering wheel you could put your Wiimote in. That said, people still do this even if they choose not to use tilt controls.

It's hard to resist, since the alternative is just standing there. Doubly so in Wii Sports Resort.

Player Tic / int_66a1dcea	comment	Tomb Raider In the original series, pulling levers would often show cut scenes of whatever door or platform said lever opened or moved, but you could still move Lara off-camera. Most players would at some point attempt to get as far away from the lever as possible before the camera cut back to Lara. In the Croft Manor from the first game, if you went into the pool and then went out, Lara would remark that she needs to take off her wet clothes, and the level would end right there, leading you back to the title screen. Inevitably, many players would get out of the pool and then jump right back into it before Lara got a chance to deliver her line and effectively end the level.

If you're playing as Reinhardt, it's practically required that you use his "Catchphrase!" voice line at some point during the match. Spamming Doomfist's "and they say chivalry's dead" voice line so it sounds like some annoying Jingle ("AN DEY SAY AN DEY SAY AN DEY SAY"), or Genji's "I NEED HEALING" if you suffer any kind of damage whatsoever, are both pretty popular as well.

Player Tic / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda games: Destroying every pot/sign you encounter, even when it's not needed. Also, obsessive rolling, but that's a attempt to reach your destination faster. Zigzagging in the top-down games. In Link to the Past, try and see how many people are constantly dashing with the Pegasus Boots, whether or not it's a good idea. See obsessive rolling above. Humming along with the "item got" theme tune is pretty popular. Nintendo even added a character in Twilight Princess that did this. In the side-scrolling parts of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, jumping wherever you go. If you jump again at the instant you land, you only lose a little momentum or none at all, even if you're not touching the d-pad. Stabbing down may get added to the mix once it's unlocked. I'll save Zelda the only way I know how... SIDEJUMPING! Some people like running away as far as possible after throwing a boomerang to see how long they can keep it from reaching the player. Or throwing the boomerang and leaving the room/area before it comes back to you. In A Link to the Past, throwing the boomerang before collecting the pendant or crystal after a boss battle will cause it to spin in place. In the original Wind Waker, you can throw the Boomerang behind the King of Red Lions and sail away from it, then set the camera in a nice position and watch as it flies back to you, gliding across the ocean water. This was removed in the HD rerelease, however, as you can't open the sail while the Boomerang is in flight.

Player Tic / int_782a1f0	comment	Phantasy Star Online: After players get used to the wonky camera, expect any who are armed with a melee weapon to run over and start slashing at the dragon's corpse after it dies, even though it has absolutely zero in-game effect. Virtually every player pulls up the menu while moving between rooms (or, in extreme cases, at any time while not in combat). This is because when anything classified as a threat is targeted within melee range the player character will slow down to a walk as part of a defensive stance even if the target isn't a living being.

Starting in Super Mario World, getting the maximum height on the flagpole or goalpost rewards you with a 1-Up; while Super Mario Bros. 3 can reward you with several if you to properly time the jump to get the same icon three levels in a row.

Player Tic / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls Following the series' jump to 3D, changing the camera angle while saving so the "save game" screenshot is a portrait of your character has become extremely common. 99% of the time, you'll just save over it without ever giving it a second look, but it doesn't stop players from doing it. One practical purpose it may serve is helping to "label" your save file if you're playing multiple characters at once, but naming the file after the character and checking the date/timestamp are usually more than enough to cover this. In Morrowind and Oblivion, jumping everywhere as you run seems to be common among players. At low levels, it takes so long by this method that it is much more of a tic than a real practice. However, doing so increases your Acrobatics skill, and once that is sufficiently high, it becomes the fastest way to travel on foot.

Similarly, when executing a move that attacks a random number of times (such as Fury Swipes or Double Slap), frantically tapping the A button in the belief that the maximum number of attacks will occur. Ever since the "Running Shoes" functionality was added in Generation 3, the B button is always held down, even in buildings (where the Running Shoes don't work) and on the Bicycle.

Player Tic / int_fd8ef85e	comment	Left 4 Dead — holding down CTRL as a Hunter after you've pounced, even if it's unnecessary, just to be sure you stay there. Also attacking your teammates as the Infected during the time in between when you can control yourself and when the loading begins when a round ends.

Player Tic / int_fe85bfc8	comment	Super Smash Bros.: In both Super Smash Bros. 64 and Super Smash Bros. Melee, you get extra points for taunting in 1-Player mode after you beat your opponent, as well as finishing levels at certain times too. So, complete a side-scrolling stage at 0:56 and you'll get nothing, 0:59 however... Computer-controlled opponents will occasionally taunt the same way human players do, usually after they manage to land a strong hit that sends you off-stage or KOs.
