Zerg Rush, where it's not a weak weapon or attack, but a large number of weak individuals used to inflict the damage.

The Man Makes the Weapon, where humiliation is not the goal.

I Am Not Left-Handed, for when the attacking character suddenly reveals that what appeared to be an intrinsic weakness is a voluntary restriction they've put on themselves by discarding it.

Or at least, saving rare items that are plain Too Awesome to Use. This may be useful if the tapper wishes to capture their enemy, or maybe befriend them afterwards. If humiliation isn't your goal, Cherry Tapping can be used to defeat or subdue an enemy with a lessened risk of killing them. The Fake Special Attack is the Cherry Tapper's signature move. Cherry Tapping is sometimes referred to as Woodpeckering, can (and often will) induce Death of a Thousand Cuts, requires being Willfully Weak. Even if it is a One-Hit Kill a la Revive Kills Zombie, Cherry Tapping is purposely using weapons others think of as weak to humiliate, ignoring other items in the arsenal that do damage at a more effective rate.

It can be a way to show off crushingly superior fighting technique by using a Joke Character in a fighting game a slow, weak melee weapon in a war game or shameless abuse of Level Grinding to kill the Final Boss with a feather duster.Ĭherry Tapping is sort of the opposite of strategies like Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors which exploit the enemy's inherent weaknesses for massive damage.

Cherry Tapping uses strange and/or weak 'weapons', or powers that are lame, weak, and/or stupid looking to defeat powerful, fear-inspiring foes or even other players. Who cares about good sportsmanship and 'being big about it'? You just wanna grind your enemy's head into the earth in the most soul-crushingly cheap way possible for all the grief he's caused you.Įnter Cherry Tapping, the video game equivalent of the Humiliation Conga. Winning feels good, and the more humiliating it is for your foe, the greater the satisfaction. Riddick, The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)
