Bandai Namco and Tekken 8 director Katsuhiro Harada are readying the banhammers, with warnings of rank resets and account suspensions, after players quickly discovered that the leaderboard's 'top' online ranked users were cheating or win trading to inflate their standing.
Accusations of win trading to reach a high rank aren't new to Tekken or fighting games in general. What is new is the fact that it's far easier to gauge when it's happening now, something which legitimate players were mighty quick to sniff out. There's the fact that every player has a radar chart now, which pulls stats from five different categories. While genuine high-ranking players will have a pretty even spread with some high numbers across the board, rank booster stats look a lil' more skewed and the numbers a lot lower.
