Tekken 8 hasn’t even been out for a week yet, and the online leaderboards are already being topped by boosters. These players, who artificially inflate their ranked points, now dominate the top spots worldwide in Tekken 8.
You can check and see for yourself! If you own Tekken 8, you can follow players from the leaderboard and check out their replays in-game. This’ll show you the recent games they’ve been playing, which in these cases largely feature one player walking towards the other without blocking or attacking. By boosting, players have been able to reach over 300,000 points as of writing.
This isn’t a new problem with Tekken 8, but it is one we can quickly spot thanks to the in-game replay tools. Back in Tekken 7, websites were even selling ranked boosting services for those feeling a touch embarrased by their actual Tekken prowess. This practice has gone largely unpunished, but, thankfully, those inclined to do a bit of leaderboard cleaning can report those who are blatantly boosting. So get to it, good samaritans.
