counter strafing- when you are continuosly walk one way then when you see someone you walk the oposite to slow down faster and have your recoil reset faster.
stutter stepping- when you just spam adadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadad

Further adding onto this idea, counter strafing is meant to be used while wide peeking to stop your momentum entirely by pushing the opposite key of the direction you are moving. While stutter stepping is mainly used for jiggle peeking to get a quick peek and maybe a well lined up shot off.

I've always just called them both counter strafing because in technical terms that's what it is. Counter strafing was always defined by the counter momentum of a force in any given direction, hence the name COUNTER strafing.
