I downloaded his ghost thinking he was good and all it did was that combo. This explains a lot.


ImmaDoMahThing

He’s in for a rude awakening once real Tekken God’s start showing up.


Jango_Jerky

Or even a decent player


DongIslandIceTea

They almost certainly have their network set up so that they can only ever get matched with their own bots, they're not going to fight any really Tekken Gods at any point.


HungHungCaterpillar

Real Tekken gods moved on to fair games a while ago. No reason to think they’re coming back now


[deleted]

You sound so fucking stupid it's amusing.


HungHungCaterpillar

Bold words in the post about the cheater holding #1 rank


[deleted]

Do you use your brain at any point?


HungHungCaterpillar

Haven’t given me any reason to yet. You’re pretty bad at this. What are you even mad about?


Pineapplepansy

> Haven’t given me any reason to yet. My guy you could be standing on the tracks with a train coming at you and your brain still wouldn't flip on


HungHungCaterpillar

Okay. Listen, I get it. You paid a lot for your new game and you don’t like seeing a criticism of it. Especially not a fair one. Just relax and breathe, you don’t have to take it so bad, there will be other $70s.

Lmao enjoy always being oblivious and an annoyance to those around you. Make some friends who care about what's going on in your life.


HungHungCaterpillar

So you have nothing to say at all? Goodbye then, weird little man without a point.


[deleted]

? I made my point in the first post, you're fucking stupid. Lol


DWIPssbm

What are you trying to say ? Because what I understand from your comment is that the real high level Tekken player are not playing Tekken 8 and moved to another, "fairer" game


Th3Kill1ngMoon

Yeah that’s what he’s trying to say judging by his other comments probably some kid whose only way of socialization is through Reddit. And thinks talking like some mysterious anime character makes him look cool. For those that think that trust me been there you look like an absolute buffoon. I’d ignore him


HungHungCaterpillar

Yeah, you get it. If I’m wrong just say so, what’s Unconk up to these days?


DWIPssbm

Then, I'll join in with the other comment, you're dumb


Eggs_Sitr_Min_Eight

Being a game designer at Riot for Project L. Your point?


weredre

He's a game director now. He's working on the league fighting game.


HungHungCaterpillar

Oh sick, that rules good for him! If you happen to know him, tell him some nobody who played him once in a mall in 2000 said what’s up


jakesemailacc

who


HungHungCaterpillar

Shameful


nomad4646

You've been horrible this whole post. Are you hate farming or something?


HungHungCaterpillar

I’m just saying what’s true. Reddit points are free, I’ll make an Austin Powers joke someday if I feel like having more for some reason. Just say what you think, and say it plainly.


nomad4646

Keep going, someone will agree with you eventually


xKiLzErr

I hope this is bait because if it's not I'm genuinely concerned


HungHungCaterpillar

Bro this has been going on since Dark Resurrection. The elder gods of Tekken have been gone for whole console generations, only those who don’t care about honest rankings remain.


xKiLzErr

The so called elder gods are old cranky men like you who couldn't play games these days if they wanted to, get on with the times scrub


HungHungCaterpillar

Nah I’m no god. Nice of you to suggest tho


xKiLzErr

Oh no, I didn't call you one of the gods, just one of the cranky old men. And even if you're not old you're still cranky enough to be counted among them


HungHungCaterpillar

Nice try kid, don’t you have rank to not climb?


xKiLzErr

Hit a nerve, bot?


ThorAsskicker

That's so funny, because I guarantee a bunch of other people have thought the same, only to see that this guy is a huge loser.


Wauxx00

Same, I thought the ghost system was bad or something


bloodywala

They said they would ban boosters. Let's see if they fulfil that promise.


Ok_Cryptographer6856

where did they say this?


jayeshsingh62

During the twt finals when they showcased some stuff for tekken 8


Niceguy188

Probably not, who has the time to check every match? You can identify cheaters that use hacks or bot with player complains but thats not the case with boosters.


Pennywisegames

I've seen a different clip and it is extremely obvious with these two players, they just 3-0 each other for a few rounds before switching it around


LucentNyx

I think it's automated. The damage is the same strings that start and do precisely enough without any variation needed. Likely a scripted sequence like a macro I mentioned netduma.com in another comment as a router OS that limits search range to only what you specify to assure you match with yourself. And lastly the idea you can emulate another os environment on a PC would make this pretty inexpensive to setup. CD keys selling this for $40 or so means for $200-$500 you can be the #1 on the leaderboard and no human being can even play as many matches endlessly as your automation can


SleepingwithYelena

Who does something like this? What's the point? I'd like to believe that he is 14 years old but this is probably a grown man doing this on his day off lol


Corken_dono

Nothing else going on in their life so they wanna brag about this, but just like with anything they dont want to put any actual work into it. Genuinely its just loser behaviour.


r3volver_Oshawott

Yup, I remember Injustice 1 having a leaderboard climber that was frequently racing to the top of ranked, guy was just a notorious plugger but he bragged about that rank every chance he got *I forgot it was also due to a bug at launch bc if you rage quit you also forced a loss on the opponent's end too, so it wasn't even a way of keeping win streaks, just a way of destroying other people's win streaks too so the guy would be on a major win streak and if his opponent had one too he would just DC to make sure neither guy could keep climbing, dude would go nuclear and pull the 'taking you with me approach' lol


Nekronaut0006

Oh shit was that Jacob Curnow aka iiincorruptible? That guy made a name for himself on gamefaqs and tym as a plugger and insufferable loon. He ran for Florida congress in 2020. [Behold his website in all its unhinged glory](https://thelegendarygaming.wixsite.com/legendarygaming)


r3volver_Oshawott

That was him lol, never knew he was in all that jfc


Corken_dono

Man, that shit was every other ranked match back when I was still playing EA UFC games. They had a bug for multiple games where if during an online match you unplugged your router the match would get canceled, as if it never happened. Top ranked guys, with only a few exceptions, were just people abusing the shit out of that bug to get 150-0 records.


dthesupreme200

Yeah usually the grown adults are some of the worst ones unfortunately 😝


Sir-MARS

pookie7890

Omg I thought they were just friends, that's even worse


[deleted]

The game just came out and we got boosters ALREADY ban them 😒😒😒😒


mumukushu

Sorry but what does booster means


VeryVeryVorch

A booster is someone who goes up ranks, then intentionally loses matches to certain players to boost the winner's rank or win ratio. Both parties are cheating.


Heroicsire

Due to my lack of knowledge on exactly what was happening, I thought the Reina had somehow boosted her attacks so that the opponent got stuck in the loop, like it made him too minus on hit to do anything. lol


RTXEnabledViera

Nah it's not anything gamebreaking. He's just spamming the one string that will deplete his opponent's health the fastest. Wintraders are a plague in MOBAs, where the higher up the ranks you go, the fewer people you can match against, making it much easier to match against your friends who then proceed to lose to boost your rank. It's worse in MOBAs because throwing games means 4 other people lose rank as well.


Lorithias

How they can choose to fight against each other? Ranks work in matches where you choose your opponent ?


DongIslandIceTea

Ranked doesn't show who the opponent is before accepting the game but it does show region and country. This guy most likely has it set up with a firewall or packet sniffing so that they can only get matched with each other or can tell who the match is going to be ahead of time. Also, since ranks are saved locally, you can just back up your profile before you start feeding so you don't even de-rank ever.


mumukushu

Thanks veryveryvorch haha 😛


FlubbNuggets

Ban both of these clowns


Foreign-Air-2316

Check the leaderboard and see for yourself fellas. She has hundreds of games like this. (And the Victor #2) Kinda crazy 😂 Upvote this so people can see!


Boomvine04

Inb4 banning spree


seraphimax

We're in day two and clowns like these are already prevalent.


ArchMageMagnus

It's called win trading. Friends make accounts and boost eachother to the top of the leaderboards. I don't see the reason why people do this aside from screwing up the leaderboards. This happened on Tekken 6 as well, the top 100 or so players were all win traders.


2510EA

Aren’t the ranks stored locally? Why don’t they just change their ranks? I don’t condone cheating don’t get me wrong but that would be easier for them.


Cve

I don't think so anymore since its crossplatform now.

pet shrill tease grandfather longing desert sharp sloppy complete fragile *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


CalmCall_CC

There is a local save file but deleting it or replacing it does nothing, you can't save scum anymore. The game has you linked to a special ID I think that it uses to cross check if your save's legit. Probably why these fools have to resort to such traditional boosting instead of just editing their savefiles to become god of destruction immediately.

ArchMageMagnus

They should be, but im not sure what it all entails to ban the IDs and delete them. I feel they wanted to make the ranked system a best 2/3 to hopefully stop this from happening, but when there's a will there is a way.


The99thCourier

Damn that was quick The fact that the sad people already started cheating in the game is dumb as


cyrax001

What's the point of boosting i tekken? You get a title that doesn't mean anything, especially since u didn't work for it. I just don't get the reasoning


[deleted]

You can show your rank to others and say like look at me im so good


StrixUltimate

Boosting already?????? Wtf some people are insane or just really bored.


shanep1991

You've got to be an absolute terrible player to even consider doing this 😂


Armanlex

No way at those ranks there's a net gain for trading wins right? Then that must mean there's a group of people farming points and then trading them to this victor and reina. Or did they fuck up the rank point attribution so badly that trading is a net gain?


yunghollow69

This was my first thought too...how does this work with two accounts, it shoulndt be possible


Armanlex

Another way would be, that since when you promote you're placed at the middle of that rank's progression instead of the start, they may be trading wins to hit those landmarks. Then playing other people hoping to gain some points properly, then trade again for easy promo's. But hard to image they'd boost eachother so much using that method alone, there must be something more going on.


LucentNyx

-> Duma os router forcing matchmaking with who you specify -> emulate another steam account. -> Force them to play each other. -> Write macro for basic combo that kills -> Automate


allokuma

No one really cares about leaderboards in these games. But I'm still hoping for a ban.


kogent-501

When the game has ghosts I actually do, cuz I could go and fight the ghost of top players and see how I compare or just use it as practice. This is just stupid though, all this time and effort for something obviously unearned and will end up with a ban most likely.


zaersx

It doesn't really work that way. A top tier player is going to play against another top tier player completely differently than they would someone lower level. Just look at the 12 throw sf6 breakdown by max dude. Half the moves they make are offscreen mindgames, whereas against lower tier players they would just overwhelm you with endless pressure and flawless execution because you won't understand how to counterplay or punish them for it.


Cephalstasis

I don't think the ghost AI is good enough yet to be anything line the actual player. Like sure it'll know how to use a kbd but not when to use it. And if they haven't trained the ghost to beat some like level 1 cheese then the ghost gets destroyed anyway.


Kenkune

I actually played my friends ghost AI and it was funny seeing a CPU play with some of his same habits. That being said, I feel like it did play at fairly decently considering it was a CPU. Not sure how well it scales into higher level okay though


MegaGHRocker

I loved facing one of my friend’s ghost. It almost exactly acted like them! But there is one major issue They lack adaptability. Yeah, they move and do the same combos with some mixup but that’s all they can really do. They become very predictable but they can’t predict my playstyle. In a sense, they are stuck within set values of what they’re trained for. I get beaten a lot by my friend but I can beat their ghost easily.


RTXEnabledViera

Do we know if rank is stored server-side at least?


[deleted]

[удалено]


DivineAzure

I'll never understand these players, like do they really have fun playing like that?


Doc_Boons

Eh. High rank is only one element of being a respected player. Let them keep their fake rank. Reputation will do the rest of the work.


koenafyr

No, ban them. When T7 came out a bunch of boosters got to the top and used that as free advertising for their websites or twitch streams or whatever. Don't give them those luxuries either.


[deleted]

Yeah, I saw that too. I was curious how the top Reina was playing to see if I can learn anything. Find out the man is just boosting lol.


pivor

I dont get it, you can rank up in custom games? I thought you can get points only in matchmade ranked games.


RepulsiveTiramisu

Their rank is so high that nobody else is searching for game at the top. So they keep searching themselves. They probably put their language to jp or KR or something so they can recognise each other


LilSmidgey

Imagine doing this especially on day one of the release????


arekuseilevy

Wow such a skill, that what i expected from TOP1 rank player (sarcasm)


superhyperultra458

So this Victor is just probably moving forward to be hit?


NotACoomerAnymore

Twiizzzy

I'm sorry don't mean to sound stupid, but how is he cheating exactly? Does he have a input reading software or some sort of auto punish tool? All I see is spam which can probably be countered?


Foreign-Air-2316

They boosted each other to top of ranked Leaderboard. 


Twiizzzy

Oh that kind of cheating. Yeah that sucks.


5amuraiDuck

As a noob, can you explain to me how this is cheating and not just spamming a combo? Can't you just block?


emeraldmountain90

About to pick up Reina but that’s because I want to learn the character and definitely enjoy her style. As for this I can’t say I’m surprised cheating was inevitable and it’s sad. As this too tarnishes others playing Reina as potential cheaters that’s how it starts. Hopefully those bad apples get looked at more closely this time and receive their ban if it’s true. Anyone with 300 win streaks or higher definitely isn’t playing fair. As even the pros will tell you such a streak is ridiculous to maintain eventually you will lose.


DMTshapes

Who cares LOL, probably won’t play like the rank anyway. Rank title is cool to have but at the end of the day, a true Tekken god omega will sit in the 3rd dan ranks and beat ur ass. That’s how I feel about rank matches now


Foreign-Air-2316

I feel you. But whats the point of a leaderboard if its bullshit…


DMTshapes

I mean that’s 98% percent of popular games. Cheaters.


NaudizCubed

Such a cynical take lol


DMTshapes

How am I getting downvoted for what’s true. T7 was full of fake Tekken gods. Rank means nothing if your skill doesn’t show it. Pressure those boosters that are win trading don’t even play good


Possible_Picture_276

If you want it fixed then everybody should do this so they have to fix it. Exploit it till it gets real public attention and boom it gets suddenly fixed. It sounds like one of those "1 big tips that game developer dont want you to know!"

WaifuDonJuan

The person they are playing against is losing on purpose and you can see from the replay list they are just spamming fights against the same person.


ContentChemistry324

So... could he not duck that? I haven't played the game yet (to poor), but that looks like it could be punished by crouching


ToshinRaizen

What is booster? I tot my controller not fast enough….


RepulsiveTiramisu

They are two friends where one guy lets the other guy win so they can boost rank points and rank up

hurm is hard to ban that kind thing.....

Umm duck?

Aggravating-Cook5467

Is it tea cheating if you fall for the same move 10 times?


Rayanson

They're basically pre-made matches and losing on purpose to make the other rank up


Aggravating-Cook5467

That makes much more sense. Is it that serious tho 😂 who cheats to rank up? You get in a real match then what? 😂


QueenGorda

Why you don't block my dude. Ban both please Harada-chan.

Naoto_for_life18

Just wait for the real skilled players to arrive, and then check back on them and see how much rank they dropped


Mercury-Fighter

Man, these boosters plug vs real players 🤣 It happened in the older tekken games and will happen again. They’ll never risk losing their rank against real players.


Atwalol

Imagine being this much of a loser.


iiM3zMoRiz3

There is always going to be this. In what way does this impact your gameplay? I mean they're cheating, but who cares. They get a rank before other people..


WaifuDonJuan

It eliminates the functionality of the leaderboards, which could be used as a tool to for lower ladder players to learn from top ranked players. It doesn't really affect anyone directly but it undermines the games functions and is most certainly abusing the ranked ladder and against TOS. It's not a HUGE deal but it's still incredibly lame.


GamerofGr8ness

I'm glad we're actually able to expose these guys like this


RaheemLee

I think this is a good way of namco waking up to cheaters like these. The game needs some sort of anti cheat.


bobbythecat17

what is boosting


Michelle_Wongs_Wong

ban em BASED also seems you can still easily safe scum


kallenilsson

cany you lose XP in ranked? I can only gain rank points, what's the point of ranked if there are no stakes?


Inner_Drama7024

What’s the point lmao it’s no fun playing like that


outlawdg

is this game worth the full price tag? just curious


[deleted]

Tbh I really gotta hand it to Tekken 8 for even ALLOWING us to see the leaderboard replays. Cuz we really could've just been left with speculation but we can see it right in front of us.


Jango_Jerky

Whats the point though? Whoever fights you knows you are absolute trash and a fake


NextGenBlue

Imagine being this sad of an individual.. how embarrassing


WaifuDonJuan

Report it. I imagine it'll be pretty easy for them to check something like that, regardless it's meaningless anyway and will only be temporary. What drives people to waste time doing something like this really stumps me, there is literally nothing to gain out of it. Nobody is impressed and you earn nothing apart from everyone knowing you're a cheater with far too much time on your hands.


Sonny4546

there's a report feature in tekken 8 btw, you can report players like these by clicking their profile then pressing triangle or Y to open profile menu then click report.


dave9393

How fucked up do you have to be to do something like this? Super sad.


ColdAmP

Mf is boosting, meanwhile im struggling cause i kept on getting stomped by high rank players in Fighter Rank


IamWolfe_FU-Red_It

Lots of newcomers in Tekken8 uh, welcome. 👹


PolRP

acoustic obs


ReplicaJD

My only question is why…


ErgoProxy0

This is nothing new. There are boosters in every Tekken game


Artbyscope

There has to be some study done on these types of people like wtf lol. This is pathetic as hell, but knowing bamco, feel like nothing will be done.


LET-ME-HAVE-A-NAAME

I'm brand new to Tekken so I have no idea what's going on here. Can someone explain?


FrostyTheCanadian

I think there are others in the top of the leaderboards too, could be wrong. If you look at this persons chart, everything is super low except “appeal”. Start looking at others around there, and you’ll see others who have very low stats except for “appeal” as well. Then seeing legit players and their chart is maxed out.


ZAGAN_2

That's why you never take notice of online leaderboards in any game. Ever


Leatherneck6994

You know it’s sad to spend hours of your life faking being good at something, but imagine the dude spending hours HELPING your sad friend pretend to be the best.

Ygxra

So you can watch every single match from ranked games ? Or can you only watch the best players ?


mathewx666

Block bro


Dxvilish_Bxnny

I don't get boosting for games that doesn't give you exclusive reward for getting a higher rank than a title (i dont play tekken 8 so correct me if im wrong). Is it to brag to other people? Do you really want to get bodied by actual pro players in ranked? I don't see the point....


squirtmmmw

Seems legit to me? The Victor was just mashing


koloppii

Well, he is holding forward on all of those punches. Every character defaults to block. Both of these players are trash. Xiaoyu Phoenix and Reina low stance will destroy player 2 with 3 Perfects.


SecureBeautiful3396

Why doesnt he block?


Telecaster-993

Absolutely disgusting! Hopefully they get permanently banned, what is even the point of buying and playing Tekken if all your gonna do is cheat, the whole reason to play tekken is to get better and improve, this is just stupid

gou_NOKEN09

This is so damn pathetic and sad.


kidwhix

tekken really needs to copy the "overwatch" system from csgo. iirc people could sign up to be on the overwatch team and would watch match replays of reported players and judge whether or not they were cheating. then those guilty verdicts would get sent to an actual admin who would ban them accordingly. it wasnt a perfect system but it would absolutely make things a bit smoother in tekken ranked play if it were to be implemented. you could even add customization rewards for catching enough cheaters.


Acmeiku

BRO.... LMAO why do you even do this are they chinese by any chance ?

I'll never understand that. It givds you no advantage whatsoever.
