RTA stands for Real Time Attack, and it refers to playthroughs of a game done by a human in real-time without the use of savestates, slowdown, memory watch, and other tools used during the production of a TAS. The term "RTA" is most often used in the context of speedrunning, which is playing a game as fast as possible RTA. RTA is in stark contrast to TAS, where "perfect" runs are created that can't be matched RTA due to the precision and timing required.
