タイムアタック

Japanese

Etymology

English, タイム (time) + アタック (attack), but not used to indicate a playthrough of a video game's dedicated mode for achieving fast completions (time attack), as one would expect; instead, it is the dominant terminology for both unassisted speedruns and tool-assisted speedruns in Japan (there is no commonly used loanword deriving from the term “speedrun”).

Noun

タイムアタック (rōmaji taimu atakku)

  1. (video games) speedrun
  2. (video games) tool-assisted speedrun

Verb

タイムアタックする (suru conjugation, rōmaji taimu atakku suru)

  1. (video games) speedrun
