Eli5: what is a tool assisted speedrun?

72 viewsOtherTechnology

I kinda understand that tool might be something that automates some things during the speedrun but what I never got is to what extent it is meant that things are automated. Further, if some parts are, but we don’t know which are and which are not, how can we even assess the difficulty on the player’s behalf?

TAS is when someone to use a tool to allow a person to input precise movements for every moment. Sometimes there are frame perfect inputs done in TAS that are very hard or impossible to pull off by humans, as they might require multiple frame perfect inputs in a second, or the inputs themselves require humans to hold a controller in a specific way.
