Because the section it was originally in was related to tool assisted work. This isn't, therefore off topic.

Entering a string of commands and having a tool enter them on a timer in order to reach the goal isn't tool assisted?

There’s a difference between tools to make “unconventional” inputs in a game and tools meant to play games as fast as possible.

Did you watch the videos? Skip the dashless, watch any of the full clears. Are you going to claim those aren't TAS aiming for fastest time within the limits of the system? What do you think this is where you're air-quoting unconventional here?

By “unconventional” I meant input that isn’t done on a standard controller by a human who’s holding it and playing the game.

What are you talking about? No human's touching a controller anywhere here or in any other TAS.

http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=505302#505302 If that topic stays in Off-topic, that's fine. Ouch, but fine. If nobody actually likes what I've created, that's fine. But how the hell isn't this TAS? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/996751130 It's not perfectly optimized, but it's far better than any random player is going to pick up a controller and do. Thoughts? I thought I'd ask here because I assume Off-topic is where things go to die so that nobody ever actually has to look at them.

In a TAS we use practically an emulated controller, after all how else we can get for example Mario to move? Do you think you're more suited for this thread instead which is also Off topic?

Because it isn't a speedrun or a superplay.

I've put the post back in the PC Games forum (in the Celeste topic). I didn't see any convincing point as to why it shouldn't be available for discussion there. It's an interesting topic, even if it might not directly benefit existing TASing toolkits or efforts.
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.
