tas
What does tas mean?
A run assembled with emulator tools, slowdown, frame advance, save states, so every input is optimal. Not a human performance; it is the theoretical ceiling of a game.
"The TAS does it two minutes faster than any human ever could."
Origin
Acronym for 'tool-assisted speedrun' (or superplay); uses emulator tools like frame advance and save states.
Frequently asked questions
Does a TAS count as a world record?
No. TASes are ranked separately from human runs because the inputs are machine-built, not performed live.
