Video Game Tactical Execution System

A Video Game Tactical Execution System is a video game subsystem that processes tactical commands and implements short-term maneuvers within adversarial gameplay contexts.

• AKA: Tactical System, Combat Execution System, Tactical Implementation System, Maneuver System.
• Context:
  • It can typically execute Flanking Maneuvers through position calculation and movement coordination.
  • It can typically perform Counter-Attacks by detecting opponent actions and triggering response sequences.
  • It can typically coordinate Combo Execution through input buffering and timing windows.
  • It can typically manage Ability Activation including cooldown tracking and resource consumption.
  • It can typically handle Target Selection using priority algorithms and threat assessment.
  • It can often support Animation Canceling for advanced techniques and skill expression.
  • It can often enable Predictive Targeting through trajectory calculation and movement prediction.
  • It can often implement Crowd Control Chains for sustained opponent disability.
  • It can range from being a Simple Tactical System to being a Complex Tactical System, depending on its mechanical depth.
  • It can range from being a Deterministic Tactical System to being a Probabilistic Tactical System, depending on its outcome calculation.
  • It can range from being a Grid-Based Tactical System to being a Free-Form Tactical System, depending on its spatial model.
  • It can range from being a Turn-Based Tactical System to being a Real-Time Tactical System, depending on its temporal structure.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • FPS Tactical Systems, such as:
    • Counter-Strike Tactical System for grenade trajectory and angle holding.
    • Rainbow Six Siege Tactical System for breaching and operator ability.
  • MOBA Tactical Systems, such as:
    • League of Legends Tactical System for skillshot and combo execution.
    • Dota 2 Tactical System for creep blocking and animation canceling.
  • Fighting Game Tactical Systems, such as:
    • Street Fighter Tactical System for frame traps and mix-ups.
    • Tekken Tactical System for juggle combos and wall carry.
  • RTS Tactical Systems, such as:
    • StarCraft II Tactical System for micro-management and unit control.
    • Total War Tactical System for formation management and flanking.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Strategic Planning System, which handles long-term decisions rather than immediate execution.
  • Physics System, which simulates physical interactions without tactical context.
  • Animation System, which renders visual representations without gameplay impact.
