Wirtual questioned another big name in the scene, technoTM, whose twitchy inputs are similar to those of Riolu.
Surprisingly, he took it like a champ (of mischief) and quickly admitted to using bullet-time. technoTM specifically cites the pressure to keep up with Riolu as the reason why he copied Riolu’s techniques to regain his world records. This should probably get you worried about how honest players in the scene might be feeling. Just kidding, it seems like there aren’t that many honest competitors anyway. This mess has been a thing for so long that it’s likely most players atop the leaderboards have been doing it for nearly a decade.
But the weirdest part is that Riolu is a genuinely talented player, one who’s achieved amazing results in live competitions where he sure as hell couldn’t have been cheating. A cool theory is that Riolu could have achieved his fake-ass scores in a legitimate manner but just couldn’t be bothered to waste the time needed to become good enough to pull them off. That’s not the need for speed we like, but it sure as hell is some sort of need for speed.
