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?
In: Technology
Generally Tool Assisted Speedrun are speedrun that are entirely automated. Meaning all inputs have been preprogrammed into a software that will do them at the right time.
This allow for very specific timing to be always correct. As all your inputs are happenning at the exact frame you want them to happen.
In short no one is playing the game when you watch a TAS. Some player(s) made the lists of what inputs need to be happen when and gave this to the software, but no human is touching buttons.
