some people associate the term "clean run" with non-emulated speed runs.

Ah. Makes sense, I guess. If there were a vocabulary specific to this subject in wide use, though, it would certainly keep such arguments from starting.

How about "optimal run"? By the way, I think the term "timeattack" is not that good. Instead, the term "tool-assisted speedrun" is much better and has actually been in use in the speedrunners' world way before these nes videos. For example, there exists a tool-assisted speedrun of Doom (made many years ago) which used freely savestates to get an optimal run (but didn't actually always get it optimal, as a later genuine speedrun proved... :P )

I'm in the process of getting rid of the "timeattack" words on the nesvideos site where possible, exactly because of the reason stated by Warp.
