    Cheating has become a real problem - and a way to reliably detect it!

    The two most relevant ones are:
    GB OS Macros - these are extremely common. A large number of "pro" players uses these. If you want to play at a competetive level - this is what you need.
    Actual defense scripts for inputs on orange in particular. These probably also have autoparry but its not like parrying in this game is difficult to begin with.

    This started months ago..
    I have seen a guy playing zhanhu (shortly after CCU) who had extremely poor understanding of the game. He would use zone attack from neutral even tho he was getting parried everytime yet he was dodging 100% of variably timed bashes on "reaction" and never got hit by empty into gb. He also would constantly try to gb after his dodge (which doesnt work anymore). He simply lacked gameknowledge in all aspects but had literal perfect defense.
    ^This becomes way more of a problem if its done by people who have some understanding and ability to play the game since it gets so much harder to detect.

    Another guy was playing bp and was flipping bashes on reaction post CCU. When he went OOS (because he OOSd himself) he kept inputting light attack on reaction to bash (flip input is fullblock + light -> fullblock does nothing during OOS -> only the light comes out).

    There are a handful of players on top teams who i suspect of using actual scripts (namely a guy named An... - you know who you are). Some of these were playing extremely poorly for a while after CCU but seemingly out of nowhere just turned into reaction monsters again.

    SOLUTION:
    Check input timings! Macros and scripts are most likely not elaborate enough to vary their input timings. The inputs will always occur in precisely the same manner (GB option select will always be input with the exact same frame delay on button presses, reactions to indicators will always occur at exactly the same time after the attack input was made by the other player).

    If you filter for input consistencies it would be extremely easy to identify cheaters and hopefully do something about them. It is a pretty major problem right now overall.

    I've seen this to, this is some crazy stuff, Ubi please check to see if their are cheaters doing this. I've ran into a few guys who are this way.
