In response to this post

"we pressed A but we don't count it because we're actually holding A, so it's just like a half press" I don't think a TAS has ever made me angry before


@gsuberland we didn't technically "Press A", instead we had Tasbot send a series of electrical signals to the controller port which results in the same command.

like apparently this is part of the standard rules for the fewest A presses category, because you can keep A pressed between levels and it'd mess up the IL scoring if they didn't count the presses this way, but I had to find that detail out by reading chat.

I'm sure they're great TASers but this was poorly thought out. it's also remarkably dull to watch unless you know all the technical details, which is sort of problematic when they didn't even introduce the point of the run.
