RTA (Real-Time Attack) is a speedrunning category that measures total time in real time.

RTA CATEGORIES:

  • Any%: 最速(さいそく)クリア (fastest completion, any method)
  • 100%: 完全(かんぜん)クリア (all items/objectives)
  • Glitchless: バグなし (no exploits)

RELATED TERMS:

  • TAS (Tool-Assisted Speedrun): 機械(きかい)による自動(じどう)プレイ
  • 走者(そうしゃ): speedrunner
  • (とお)しプレイ: full run (from start to end)
  • タイムアタック: time attack

RTA differs from TAS (tool-assisted speedrun) in that RTA is performed by human players in real time without frame-by-frame manipulation.
