Tool-Assisted Speedrun, n. Refers to a speedrun of a video game, using an emulator's slowdown and rewind functions to reach an inhuman time. TASes do not use cheats (though glitches are fair game), meaning that in theory, anyone could replicate a TAS on a real console, though no human has the reflexes to do so.

The Asian Standard - these are generally recordings of games played up to Asian standards. Specifically, a TAS player
- aims for fastest time
- takes damage to save time
- abuses programming errors in the game
- manipulates luck
Acceptable times for a TAS are 11 minutes and 50 seconds to complete Super Mario Bros 3, but that's just barely good enough.
