*by cheating
TAS stands for tool assisted speedrun.
TAS is cool as people can use it to find the most optimal way to finish a game. Sometimes tricks are too hard for people to do or at least they are believed to be to hard for people to do. Sometimes TAS “only” tricks end up being done by people.
Just a fancy word for cheating
With tool assistance?
Yeah, that's cheating.
