| | Speedrun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A speedrun is a play-through of a computer or video game, in which the whole game or a select part of it, such as a single level, is played with the intent of completing it as quickly as possible, optionally with certain prerequisites, such as collecting every item available. | | | The tool-assisted speedruns try to avoid comparisons to the unassisted runs, as this would be unfair to the players. | | | The player is allowed to choose in which order he'll finish the main stages or levels of the game, which all consist of a platformer-style gameplay and a boss fight with its Robot Master. |

| | Speedrunning is just that, completing Quake levels in the shortest time possible, by any means possible. | | | None of the games I mentioned will support speedrunning, I'm convinced of that, and I doubt there will ever be a game as suited for speedrunning as Q1 is (and Doom to some extend). | | | To this day they are defying the laws of Quake physics and entertaining the masses with their crazy passion for playing through the game at absurd speeds. |

| | Thus, speedruns are made to show off creativity, improvisational ability, and gaming skill. | | | Timeattacks are not made to show off 'gameplay' skills; anyone who attempts to pass off a timeattack as a speedrun will alienate her/himself from both communities. | | | Whereas a timeattacker considers any loss of time unacceptable (both in the route and in gameplay), a speedrunner must work on minimizing gameplay errors. |

| | own-age.com / videos -> Video details for Rockman 2 Segmented Speedrun |
| | In case you're unfamiliar with speedruns, a "segmented speedrun" means that you record parts of the game individually, which means that you can do serveral parts of the game over and over again until you get it right. | | | No slowdowns or rerecordings can be used (or any tool-assisted help, for that matter), making the speedrun completely legitimate in terms of actual skill. | | | Segmented speedruns leave much possibility for improval, and thus turn out more impressive than their Twin Galaxies-approved counterparts. |

| | Tool-assisted speedrunning (TAS) permits the player to use special utilities, programs, or gameplay options which are banned from Compet-N submissions. | | | A player who believes his or her demo to be one of the fastest ever recorded, at least with a particular map(s) and in a particular category, can submit it to a competitive speedrunning site (such as Compet-N) for verification and posting. | | | Players record their fastest level run-throughs in real time as demos, which keep track of each movement and action taken by a player in completing one or more levels. |
