Alongside the autojumps this player's whiff punishes are also incredibly on point to a kinda sus degree, every time I saw them like walking away or walking forwards and the opponent would 2mp or whatever and instantly would get counterpoked and die. Its again something that in isolation, "nice footsies that whiff punish/ spacing trap was so well done" but it happened just often enough with so rarely letting a button just whiff that it caught my attention.

Yeah this dude's whiff punishing is the best in the world. If someone's whiff punishing is THAT good, his fireball counter jumping isn't even that sus in comparison. But I am sure Broski didn't want to say anything about his whiff punishes because the initial reaction will be "lol u just suck he is better than you thats all"

The messed up thing is that you can set those cheats to a percentage response. So say you have a player with decent but still human counter DI reactions, he can set the cheat to auto-fire counter DI 20% of the time, lets say that under normal circumstances his natural reactions are like 50%. Meaning that when he fails to DI himself the bot will take over and do it for him 20% of the time on top of his own reactions. This would make detecting him harder as well since 50% of those DIs he gets will look like a normal human DIing when you check the inputs so that extra 20% won't stand out at all. If the player in this video set his cheat to 30% instead of 100% no one would be the wiser.

I think Fuudo realized his defense was terrible aside from those exploits because he fought him again, went full offense against his Luke and beat him 2-0. He also had several other characters on 1600-1700 MR post-reset with like 40 hours of ranked which is also kind of weird.

I think the combos might also be automated here (not that it matters at this point since it’s pretty clear there is cheats involved otherwise). First thing I saw at 6:45 was that they continued the combo after light flash knuckle missed the second hit. Obviously this could be a flub that any player could make in the heat of the moment, but I’d imagine an auto combo cheat would only care if the opponent gets hit or blocked, not taking into account things like spacing or hits whiffing from attacks. This only happens once, so it could just be a misinput. What REALLY gets me is that in the middle of combos he ALWAYS goes to neutral in the middle of links. At 6:53 for example after the jump in on the fire ball they do the back heavy kick, stay neutral for almost a full second and then right on cue switches to down back for the crouching heavy punch. They do the same at 8:06, 11:15, 12:10, 12:46, 13:53. I’m not going to pretend that I’m an expert at this game (platinum is my highest rank) but I’d imagine for consistency and safety it would be better to just keep holding down back when doing the crouch heavy, since you might block something like an ex DP in the case you drop the link at some point and since you were already holding back for the back heavy kick it would make sense to just do down back. There is the chance that there is something I’m missing here in this “technique” but I’m almost certain it’s an auto combo cheat being programmed to do the inputs at the exact required time, and that they didnt do their homework to make it look believable on the input reader. Again, Im no expert at this game, and it is already evident that something is afoot, but i would hesitate to call this guy a low master rank when there is a not insignificant chance that the combos he does are automated as well.

Though these are definitely sus AF and something is clearly afoot, his only jump ins are in response to a fireball so he has a clear path and doesn't need to think about the potential of getting dp'd. It's kind of like when you see somebody whiff a throw and you hit your big heavy button into a dp that you wouldn't have time to confirm from the first hit, but because they were stuck in the animation you know they can't really do anything. Again I don't mean to say this guy isn't cheating. The inputs are clearly sus and there really isn't a good reason for him to be doing them that way.

He goes the entire game rooted to the floor and just so happens to perfectly punish each fireball with a jump in. He also jumps within 4 frames of the fireballs startup, so he isn’t reacting (humans struggle to react at 16 frames). If he was jumping in during other scenarios besides perfectly punishing a fireball then it may have been argued that he is 37 levels deep in his opponents head, but he never does that, instead he stays on the ground at all times focusing entirely on whiff punishing, since he doesn’t have to react to anything the opponent does.

I'm not trying to be first, I just am. Thank you for your diligent investigation, detective Broski Oh wow I paused at 8:11, his inputs are crazy! He went from down back for 2 frames, to up forward for 2 frames to down for 3 frames, without any neutral inputs (okay, that could be possible on a leverless, but that is insane). He also has nearly frame perfect whiff punishes. I would wager he has an auto-whiff punisher too. He is holding back, and then when he detects an opponent has whiffed, he gets a neutral input + medium punch and right after that, continues holding back even though he's mid combo and not a charge character (maybe it's just habit?). I think his script is automatically neutralising his directional input to give him the medium punch which is why he continues holding back after it comes out.

Everyhit is a counter hit and the jump ins were crazy

Another thing that seemed odd was how clean a lot of his inputs were in the input history. The other players had a lot of buttons being pressed during combos and sometimes while blocking. But the cheater had a lot more precise and clean inputs as if they were all perfectly calculated.

HBroskiguy hard at work with investigative journalism.

Also there was another cheater with russian nickname (actually their nicknames sound really weird for native ppl in RU region) and iirc even Phenom posted something about them on twitter. I'd say that Интернационал is another player who abuses cheats and probably uses vpn to connect to some other regions (there should be shitty ping then, but Fuudo played 3 ranked sets with that guy)

"Gee, ya think!?" Me not even needing to watch this video.

Jumping Sandblast 100% of the time (considering how fast it is.) is already suspicious. The frame data showing they were walking back and changing direction instantly is a deadgiveaway.

I'm seeing this video a month later and based on what I am seeing here and what my replays showed I played against a cheater 3 days ago. They are becoming more bold

>perfectly predicts opponent's attacks >Has Anya Forger, a mind reader, as banner COINCIDENCE?!

Every single jump forward happens after 3-5F of opponent's fireballs, with no inputs between their last direction and right into up-forward. Every single whiff punish happens 5-8F after the opponent's button, again, with no inputs between their last direction / button, and it always went frame perfect into the whiff punish button, for example the 2MPs always input the down-back + MP on the same exact frame. It's very obviously a cheater after you take this all into account.

His inputs are also pretty perfect mid combos, never mistiming buttons with the foward or back inputs for example, perfect quarter circles

Even on hitbox hitting up diagonal that cleanly every time is not likely. You'd hit right or up a frame earlier at least sometimes. I'm sure this got covered in the actual stream but just so people know.

His whiff punishes are also _extremely_ good. They're just as fast as his jump-ins.

Also worth noting that if the fireball is inescapable with jump due to frame disadvantage, they seem to always parry it. I wonder if they never jump outside of the auto-jump to avoid detection for when a jump is auto-input while already in the air. Just remembering that cheater who got outed by consistently inputting counter DI even when in burnout.

@Blargel

6 ай бұрын

I think they just don't manually jump because it became a habit from playing with this cheat. Why do a jump that's potentially punishable when the cheat can do a good jump instead? As they fell into this habit, they probably didn't even consider how suspicious it would be if they never jumped except when a fireball came out.

This also happens very frequently and is very similar in online chess. How they solve it is having a dedicated fair play team that go through replays of reported players just like this, move by move, and after a player is banned, they refund points for anyone that lost to them. They also have very good algorithms in place to see if a player is outdoing themselves in a very suspicious fashion. I unfortunately don't think its possible for capcom to account for these, Banning very subtle cheaters is very costly and requires a large amount of dev time unless they get greedy.

What caught my eye even before the suspect jumps was the even more suspect frame perfect whiff punishes. Dude literally never went for a poke any time other than when the opponent hit a button to threaten space. It is made really obvious by the fact you're looking at Luke mirrors. With other matchups it's harder to really notice, but it's a lot more clear when he gets frame perfect whiff punishes in the mirror with the exact same move as the opponent with a 100% success rate.

Hitbox players CAN go from down-back to up-forward in one frame but because of SOCD cleaning sometimes you'll catch neutrals in there. Nobody is THAT perfect.

I think the biggest giveaways were the perfect jumping over projectiles, the suspect inputs (they're WAY too clean) and lack of cardinals from some transitions in movement.

I've never noticed until just now that the characters in the background keep moving even when you pause the replay.

I clocked it the third perfect jump over Sand Blast. It's just subtle enough that most players won't be too suspicious until it's too late.

It's crazy that you looked at the fudo matches and saw nothing suspicious. Kind of surprising how good they are at hiding them.

I LIKE THAT JUMP

I'm Japanese, and when I matched with this person, the total time for ranked matches was about 30 hours, and there were two legendary characters. Also, at that time, ACT2's legendary border was 2070 or higher.

What a guy! 🤩 From Oro to AKI to Sherlock Holmes. Broski keeps serving the FGC. 🤜

Paying attention to how many frames each input is registered for is also a big indicator. He perfect parried the fireball at 8:24 and only had touched it for 1 frame. Sure that can happen sometimes but to be able to press and release an input for only 1 frame is pretty suspicious to me, espeically right before that perfectly timed jump.

Surprised you didnt comment on the up forward always being exactly 4 frames

whats strange about sf6 system is that the flag you choose when you first open the game determines what regions leaderboard you show up on. I'm living in the US but have the Romanian flag and I only show up on the europe leaderboard.

Very well done spotting the cheats, any sort of competition online really needs to have a good anti cheat or either we will be heading the same way as Call of Duty.

Awesome video. Super interesting and great explanations from Broski

I think whenever he couldnt jump the cheat would make him perfect parry the fireballs aswell. Like in a block string. It shows 2 or 3 times in this video i believe. And he was whif punishing VERY well aswell, idk if thats also something to look at but he did also 3 or so times in this video and i dont remember any instance where enemy whiffed and he didnt punish perfectly so theres a lot going on here, but i guess the easiest to "spot" its the jumping cuz he does it frame 1 consistently.

On the point of determining patterns and the difficulty of detecting "subtle" cheaters, as in, cheats with a lower than 100%trigger probability: I think it's important to apply a little science here. Psychology studies on perception show us that human visual detection times are more or less hard capped at around 200ms / 12 frames. If you present visual stimuli faster than that, most of the time subjects will not even be able to determine what actually was displayed on the screen. Naturally, there's more complication hidden here considering there's also a motor reaction involved and an argument can be made that subconscious perception might have a slightly lower perception threshold, but in any case, ANY tendency of a player to react faster than that, even if it only happens twice or thrice in a whole set, should be eyed with suspicion. There's even more parameters that could be checked, such as the variance in reaction time. Even for professionals who have trained manual processes for decades there's a variance band for reaction times, humans are not clockwork. I feel like it should be rather easy for capcom to run a simple test on replay input data to look for these inhuman properties, no matter how rare they happen, and then highlight suspicious players for human/community review. At the very least this would force cheat designers to come up with weaker, more human like scripts. TLDR: Please capcom, step up your anti cheat efforts, there's tools and methods you're not using.

He does nothing but continues to hold back then auto jumps the follow up fireball and his inputs show him holding down to down back after the jump. clearly he was just trying to block but the cheat engine parried and jumped for him in a short burst of time.

I'm surprised this kind of cheating hasn't happened as much in other games, I think one other case was on Melee netplay with auto SDI cheats. Only most cheaters before were clear dunderheads, so thanks for pointing this out broski

i think melee is just absurdly hard to actually subtly cheat in in ways that boost your gameplay enough for cheaters to care about. analog inputs and the less structured nature of smash punish simply make cheating effictively cheating too complicated

from having watched tons of videos of cheaters getting exposed in different communities like speedrunning. It is usually the best players cheating, just so they get that little bit more of an advantage. It also makes them a lot harder to catch if they actually have a good understanding of the game

There was this one guy called urifeet i played in bh hes the only one where i thought they cheated so far at least

I'd be shocked for there to be a cheater in BH.

gaming in 2024

I always said this. If a 1500mr player starts to cheat its really hard to catch him. You can turn on the cheat only in clutch moments/full resources. If a good (non top) player cheat is gonna win the tournament

glacial pace

that input situation with the directions could mean hes on a keyboard. You'd be surprised

now people can train to jump when they see elbow bend

Its crazy that capcom has no anti cheat but somehow makes qualifiers online.

The fact the Up-forward motion after a fireball imput is always 4 frames. Coming from a crouch/ block motion... im scared for the integrity of this game.

Fchamp came across this same exact account on his stream

i love ur intro so much dude

Help me understand the mindset of a cheater."I beat you even though I really I didn't.... that's why I'm better than you at this game because I'm not!"

Makes them feel strong. They don't care about improving, they just want to be on top.

didn't hear it mentioned, but it's also worth noting they NEVER failed a partial charge. they got perfect on every single charge attempt.

@@NeviMaestro I've seen most good Lukes drop combos, but the main sus part is about how he's doing the links. Instead of holding the direction like every good player they reset to neutral. 6:53 is a good example for this

Thank you for covering this.

I've also noticed the cheaters can whiff punish. Like jumps, with whiff punishing ESPECIALLY LIGHTS you expect failed attempts, as well, but these guys have bots that seem to tell exactly when you enter into their normal range by walking as well as when you extend your hurtbox. I disagree that these are good players, these dudes are letting the automation do EVERYTHING skillful you see, even the combos.

My opponents must be using the cheat. ALL my opponents jump my fireballs!

I wonder if I've run into this in Diamond as well. I play Guile and there have been a few players that I swear I just can never throw a boom at unless it's full screen. No matter how much I delay, do upside down kicks, sobats, even stand and walk back a few frames trying to bait the jump or just general buttons trying to change their focus as soon as I press forward and punch the jump comes and always in time to punish the notoriously fast recovery of sonic boom. I literally asked myself out loud "how am I always wrong?" I'm deliberately trying to make this difficult to see coming, how is he reading it so well?

hes also wiff punishing everything

Yeah i have run into some people with very suspect "skills and tactics." Perfect throw techs every time, insane whiff punishes everytime, jumping out of every command grab, perfect parries every attempt....

At 12:07 he auto jumped but was still holding down. You can see the input when you paused it for observation
