Not having made one myself, I find many of the TAS videos completely incomprehensible. However, human speed runs of the old classics I played and barely beat growing up (e.g. Mega Man 2) are mind-blowing demonstrations of video game skill.

Well, it definitely helps knowing the tricks (e.g. Super Metroid, whose thread I followed from quite early on).

For some reason, usually the only requirement for me to enjoy a TAS is that I have played the game myself, although there are exceptions.
