Broski returns to call out cheaters
The modern online landscape for competitive fighting games has quite a few cheaters in it. With the advances in technology and the recent prominence of online play, some players are finding craftier ways to cheat, earn themselves ranked points they don’t deserve, and drag the experience down for everyone.
In Street Fighter 6, we have seen instances of players running scripts that give them blatant advantages such as automatic perfect parries any time they want, but some cheaters are finding other, less obvious ways of breaking the rules that can be a lot harder to spot if you don’t know what to look for. Fortunately, fighting game content creator Broski knows what to look for, and in one of his latest videos uncovers another player who might be cheating in ranked.
Like the last time it happened, Broski was recently playing Street Fighter 6’s ranked mode when he came across a suspicious player. As mentioned above, some of the ways people are cheating in this game right now can be pretty effectively concealed on the surface, and unless you really know the intricacies of how the game works and is played, you likely wouldn’t even be able to spot them.
Broski ran into a WiFi Cammy player (which is already a red flag, let’s be real), and as the fight went on, some things started to look real fishy. Though Broski wasn’t sure at first, he ran into the Cammy once again later on in his session, and after one match there it was clear that further investigation was necessary.
Firstly, Broski went and checked out the player’s profile in the CFN. Despite being a legend ranked Cammy with over 2,000 MR, this player only had about 40 hours of ranked mode time and three hours of training.
While that isn’t full on evidence in and of itself, anyone who has played ranked before knows that that’s a little odd. Broski also figured something might be weird here when he noticed that the player’s name actually changed when clicking on their CFN profile. It went from a regular, random online username in English to something written out in a different language.
Broski goes on to watch several matches with this player versus other online competitors, and he points out several reasons why this online user very well might be cheating.
