Sidestepping is most commonly used in video games as another way of saying dodging. To sidestep you would simply just have to ''dodge'' any visuals with a negative impact. ( Visuals in this sentence would be stuff like magic, fire, traps, hammers and swords, etc. ) When sidestepping the only thing you do is walking or running. Roll, jump, duck, etc, yeah... none of them counts as sidesteps.

Side note: Sidestepping is a very advanced move depending on the game you are playing, it can require a lot of skills to pull it off in some games.

sidestepping is a car racing term. This term only applies to cars with manual transmissions. The slightest edge of the left foot will be on the clutch and the clutch pedal will be all the way down to the floor, so when the car is ready to launch from standstill, the driver will simply move his toe and pop the clutch.

From rugby union and to a lesser extent, rugby league. Term used to describe the player with the ball running into, then over the top of, the man trying to make the tackle.
Commentator: "And Caucau passes off to Robinson! And Robinson bursts through the line! A quick dummy and there's only Taylor to beat! And... OH! A storming samoan sidestep and its a try!!! And the stretcher's coming on for Taylor."
