Tool-Assisted Speedruns
Tool-Assisted Speedruns (TAS) are a type of video game playthrough where players use software tools to achieve the fastest possible completion time. These tools allow for frame-by-frame manipulation, enabling players to optimize every action, input, and decision in the game. TAS is often created by skilled players who analyze the game mechanics to find the most efficient strategies.
Unlike traditional speedruns, which rely on human skill and reflexes, TAS can execute perfect sequences that are impossible for a human to replicate in real-time. This method is commonly shared and celebrated within the speedrunning community, showcasing the potential of video games when played with precision and planning.
