I'm planning to submit a TAS trick review again, I'll probably try to submit tomorrow, but here is the submission text I've come up with. I'll note that the video is one I made prior to submitting it for SGDQ 2017. Some have expressed the opinion that this would be much better off as a snippet in between runs rather than its own block, and I allude to that in the submission.
TAS Trick Review
Speedrun commentary often includes phrases such as "one frame trick" or "pixel perfect". One of the biggest questions people have is if speedrunners know the difficult of the tricks in advance or if they are just guessing. If they do know the difficulty of the trick, people also wonder how they know. TAS tools can be used to showcase how speedrunners identified these details in NES runs seen earlier in the marathon. This trick review will demonstrate the skill of the runners as well as the value of TAS tools to RTA speedrunning. This information may also be presented as a set of shorter segments after completed runs rather than a featured block.

Guess that was a bit too long. here is a more condensed version:
Speedrun commentary often includes phrases such as "one frame trick" or "pixel perfect". People question if speedrunners really know the difficulty of a trick or not, and how they could find out. TAS tools can be used to showcase how to identify these details in NES runs from earlier in the marathon. This trick review will demonstrate both the runners skill as well as the value of TAS tools to speedrunning. Note that this review may work better in between runs rather than as a featured block.
