There are also those to do tool-assisted speedruns, where they play a game and complete it frame-by-frame, doing precise inputs that a human might not be capable of in order to show the theoretically best time that a game can be completed in.

Far beyond what "might not be capable".

Some TAS runs do things like abuse the order that the console would read inputs to do multiple inputs in a single "frame".
