Stacked Feint

Stacked Feint is a concept written about by John Dallman in 24 March 2000 in Pyramid article "Touche" http://www.sjgames.com/pyramid/sample.html?id=1519
He says it was introduced to "an abortive GURPS 9 Princes in Amber campaign"
The way it works is if a Feint is followed by another Feint, then instead of the penalty of the previous Feint applying to an active defense roll, it is applied to the target of the new Feint's roll in the Quick Contest. This could possibly lead to bigger and bigger outputs.
This is still a great idea in 4e although the introduction of other options like Deceptive Attack, using Rapid Strike for big parrying penalties, counterattack and riposte and spinning Kick or Spinning Attack give adequate alternatives.
