Ingenious Japanese Strategy of Trapping Tanks

Basically anyone who have played L4D long enough knows of the ladder bug, in which if the tank is climbing up a ladder and you are hanging on the ladder above it, it will get stucked below you. but these japanese have weird ideas of "disabling" these tanks.

Map: 2 evils eyes.

Situation: The 4 of us were above the sewers and the tank is below, trying to climb up the ladder amidst a zombie mob rush. JS got downed by normal zombies while rebion(ellis) were fighting off zombie mobs coming from the river. That leaves me and Ma-sa to deal with the incoming tank.

Solution:
If you ever try to look carefully, you should see that Ma-sa is not even holding onto the ladder. As soon as Ma-sa shouted "kitta~" and spots the tank climbing up the ladder, she drops right onto it's head to trap the tank... Yeah so basically, she can shoot while trapping the stupid tank. I don't even need to shoot the tank for her as she can handle it herself. Time to leisurely save my incapacitated teammate!!! Damn these japanese sure is fast when it comes to clever ideas.

Morale of the story: A tank's body may be big, but their brain sure is puny.
