What do you like more. Tool Assisted or Real Console Speedruns / Time Attacks.
Tool Assisted mean:
Use Emulator, slow down Emulator, use Frame Advance, use Save States and Load States & re-record still the Runs looks like you want. So you will see later no big errors or useless deads anymore. Just the pure great runs what is near impossible for normal humans.
Example site for Tool Assisted Runs:
NES Videos (http://bisqwit.iki.fi/nesvideos/)
Real Console means:
Play a game on a real console and record it on tape through a VCR. So you will see every error, what the one has done in this run. Sometimes they die useless or go wrong ways. But these runs real done by humans without tools.
Example site for Real Console Runs:
Speed Demos Archive (http://speeddemosarchive.com/news.html)
I watch both versions, but like more Tool Assisted Runs. Because they looks much better for the eyes without these big errors which you can find sometimes in Real console runs. But I have too much respect for these, who make real console runs. When I see these I can feel how hard it is to make these runs. Must be hard to learn everything till you know what you must do.
Edit: Strange, I was sure, that I add a 4th option, but now this one is gone. I have first only 2 options, but as I submit it a message tell me it will maybe be better to add some more. So I add 2 options, but only one appear now. The last one was:
I don't watch Speedruns
