Did I race against a cheater?

I was playing MKwii (have only had it about a week) and was racing online. This Japanese guy logs on with a rating over 9000 and I swear without having to constantly slide or boost he was going at least twice as fast as everyone else. Even in a 12 player race on the SNES ghost house course (a small one) no one but him finished because he was done at least 30 seconds before everyone else...in fact, that happened on every course. He was riding a bike.

Is there something about boosting I don't know? Are bikes just better? Is he just really good? Or was it hax?

I ve raced a guy that pretty much skips the race. If u look at the map, his head is just skipping through the race.

Really weird

Well theres your problem.

I had some similar experiences. I don't know if your guy was cheating or not, since he did have over 9000 and was on a bike (which can wheelie and are overall stupidly over powerful in MK. I mean come on, the game's called mariokart, not mario kart plus bikes. wheelieing is the new snaking! yea!..)

Anyway.. I once raced a guy that had below 5000, like 4700 or something. He was baby mario in a plane bike or something. As I was bowser on a bike (I converted to a bike, because it's the only way to consistently win. I feel so dirty..), even while wheelie-ing, he was going so much faster it was ridiculous. My guest and I were pelting him with so many things, I was powersliding every turn, wheelieing every chance possible, and nobody could get anywhere near him.

Then on DK Summit, I'd watch him literally Jump over the huge pits, and stop immediately on the other side so that he wouldn't fall in the pit. The physics of mariokart would've made him keep going even if breaking, and fall into the other pit.

My guess was that he was either an insanely good racer that was playing on his friend's account to boost his number while I was lagging like crazy and was seeing things (even though I have a wired connection on a fiber optics network), or that he was a cheater and was maybe banned every now and then, causing him to have a low score. No other time have I experienced anything similar, so I'm thinking it's the latter.

The 'skipping' is called Positional Lag, it happens when the data from the Wii to the Server gets reset, MK just keeps the characters position travelling on their present course until the data reconnects, which sometimes makes it appear as if they're falling off cliffs then re-appearing.

However, because of this, it could present cheating opportunities, because by jumping the connection and reconnecting, your position will lag and no ones items will be able to hit you as well as your position will appear to jump. I'm certain there's some cheaters out there.

I knew there would be DBZ jokes as soon as I wrote that...:Dgoblaa

DBZ jokes are on every corner... waiting to atack their prey.

he knows how to snake.. so i guess there is a way to snake in MKWIIIcE-Fu-

MKWii was supposed to fix that. Im not playing if it's possible.

Nope, you can't cheat in N games.gatsbythepig

There are ways to telport and skip the area and break your fall etc... It happens but most people have the decency to play fair and it makes the game much more fun. I dont really care about VR, its just there for the hell of it. You could be first and gain 100 points and then come 8th and lose 120 :?

There is no snaking or major snaking to make a difference.

he probably was lagging when you were looking at him so he like he would go everywhere

Great all we need now is cheaters. i have experienced it as well but o well. i enjoy the game without wanting to win. it isnt about winning its about having fun.

Good question, I don't really know. I'm almost 100% positive there is no wii action replay, so it probably wasn't hack.

Maybe it had something to do with the connection? Maybe, I mean when i'm driving I go as fast as possible. Yet people are still able to pass me. You can't really snake in this game.

It probably had to do with the bike he was using, and the connection.

there is no way, hes not snaking.

bike? maybe hes doing that boost for bonus speed in straight lines, the one only for bikes... cant remember the name.

but to beat 30 faster? either hes way too good or you and the players were very bad compared to him

WHAT NINE THOUSAND?!

It's not so far fetched. It happens. I've seen people fly about the stage in metroid hunters.
