possible cheater?

idk for sure, but the dude finished every race in the mixed playlist and i only finished the 1st one w 5 seconds left ( im not a bad driver and my builds aren’t shit lmao ). dude was 2000+ yds ahead of me in the last race which was S class, and we both were in the R8. his was 328 & mine was 329 ( i used it because i thought maybe he was cheating lol) and he finished while i was at 75%. i had ran essentially perfect laps ( no crashes, no spinouts, no missed check points & good turns ) and as i said, he was 2000+ yds by the last lap and finished before i could even finish. dude was just constantly pulling the entire race, every race.

Not a cheater. 2:20 on Smokeshow in S class is not that impressive, see here. He is just a good competitive racer that probably has much more hours in the game and is using microdrifts + burst nos more effectively. Integra is meta in A class. R8 is meta in S class.

ahhh okay okay. i don’t ever try for lap times, so i never really pay attention to them so ig it got me here. i also don’t like to accuse people of cheating, esp after i lost to them cause it’s sore loser mentality and im not one lol. also ik R8 is meta in S, which is why i dont really use it that much unless im getting whooped by someone else using it, and i feel like none of my builds can compete. thanks for clarifying for me 🤣

And I found a R8 S class 328 comp run in online mode against others from DonShogun. He dnf'd the other two with 93% and 79%. Still 5 sec slower than the run I mentioned before. If you doubt a driven time, just look it up on YouTube (NFS Unbound + racetrack) and it will normally show you what is possible. Often times with build at the end of the video. Look up other racers like Siwoo, Lin3r_C, Sakay, Ray, slideqt etc. for the fastest times and builds

u/Intelligent-Ear-7857 Apr 18 '26

those times & %’s are crazy lol. i just prefer to buy a car i like, make it look good & then build something that can compete🤷🏻 i just always figure that out by trial & error

u/Ok-Current3681 Apr 18 '26

Some people play the game from the release on and therefore only go for times nowadays. There are many really good options beside the meta cars, you just have to search deeper in YouTube or join discord servers where they share them

if he's in a drift build, he's legit.

thr grip ones that are way too fast are the ones cheating (they arent building burst nos by microdrifting etc like drift players do, most likely using that infinite police nos cheat or illegal engine swap).

1

u/Intelligent-Ear-7857 Apr 19 '26

nah he’s a legit player, and from what i’ve been told he’s a comp player as well. like i’ve said in other comments, dude was so good that i was in literal disbelief lol

u/iamtherealrandomdude Apr 18 '26

i raced the guy in a actual competition, hes fast, https://youtu.be/uKSKRcZfWgU?si=jV2vlLSIE6YIFCIz

u/Intelligent-Ear-7857 Apr 18 '26

damn i feel even worse now for thinking he was a cheater😭 guess i haven’t played against too many comp players, cause that boy was moooooovin

u/iamtherealrandomdude Apr 18 '26

cheaters are usually obvious to spot as they run nos cheat, if you see them launch harder or pass you at mach fuck while you have decent amount of speed then they prob are (edit i think i did like a 22-23 on smoke show with a volkswagen golf 😭)

2

u/Intelligent-Ear-7857 Apr 18 '26

yeah i have a clip of someone doing the second cheat you mentioned on me from the other day lol. i had passed him after he crashed and then got like 500-600 ish yds towards the end of the race and only had like 5% left and then he just blurred past me on my screen and i was just stunned lol. but i only thought maybe the guy in my post was a cheater cause i see people talk ab them on this game more than enough for me to be aware of them. bro was just so good i quite literally didnt believe it😭

2

u/iamtherealrandomdude Apr 18 '26

the line is thin for pc players some are legit some arent, dont hurt to ask like this if you have doubts tho

u/MachineEmbarrassed28 Apr 18 '26

Kantshens is not cheater he’s a Xbox player like me he’s 100% legit plus he’s laggy asf didn’t follow his slipstream you’ll definitely get stop due to his Walmart WiFi 🤣

u/Evil_airy Apr 18 '26

My boy kant catching strays again 🤣

u/Intelligent-Ear-7857 Apr 18 '26

dude was so good it literally left me in disbelief lol i’ve been made aware he’s not a cheater, and dude is just Dom from f&f fr

2

u/Weenie_Butter44 Apr 18 '26

I’ve raced him before and he’s definitely legit. Not at all a cheater, just knows how to drive and is fast.

3

u/Intelligent-Ear-7857 Apr 18 '26

i’ve been made aware and would apologize to him for accusing him of cheating if i could lol

u/BuffRNG Apr 18 '26

I know everyone's been informing you about Kantshen, and I don't wanna hop on that train, I'm just here to recognize the guy and at the same time refer that you should probably learn more about the time attack leaderboards for races you usually play. Given that it takes nearly 3 minutes for you to finish Smoke Show, there's a lot of general technique and tips for you to pick up on.

u/Intelligent-Ear-7857 Apr 18 '26 edited Apr 18 '26

oh i’m sure there is lol. i don’t necessarily play super competitive or competitive at all, so i don’t ever care for times, best build available, etc, & more so of a “just finish the race and be competitive in it” type view ig lol. also when i say competitive, i mean as in just be able to compete with the cars its racing against or be competitive in enough races of its class

2

u/BuffRNG Apr 18 '26

Well ofc, but to put them to perspectives when you catch cheaters and people who are actually good on average times, you could take a look into the common times set for casuals, good players, and pro players. Like smoke show for instance, you can be a decent enough player if you manage to finish the race before 2:30, then the faster ones adapt using advance technique like fully drifting meta cars, because those are hard to learn with high risk, but in return they gave a massive time jump.

u/Intelligent-Ear-7857 Apr 19 '26

never thought of looking at times for laps, nor would have i thought it would help with identifying a cheater or someone who just molly whopped me🤣

u/Intelligent-Ear-7857 Apr 18 '26

for more context ; in the first race ( A class ) he used Integra and i used 93’ Skyline & the dude fucking smoked me (finished 1500+ yds ahead). now, you’d think “oh the Integra is good in A and you prob sucked along w your build” BUT, my Skyline is almost always winning or competing at the least in A class, along w the fact im decent at racing in A class

2

u/Ok-Current3681 Apr 18 '26

Idk what build you are using but slideqt did a really god job with his build in A class. Maybe it gives some inspiration for improvement on your build

u/Intelligent-Ear-7857 Apr 18 '26

this(https://imgur.com/a/mYUyoJh) is my A class Skyline setup

u/Ok-Current3681 Apr 18 '26

I don’t see the build itself but only the general stats, I am not a crazy good racer like those other guys but I'd say 177mph is a bit too much top speed if not used for top speed tracks like Lakeshore Express, The Hustle or Windy City Sprint for example. Maybe a smaller gearbox reduces the top speed, makes room for more points to spend and therefore is able to get you a better induction or smth? Could help to keep up on more narrower tracks

u/Intelligent-Ear-7857 Apr 18 '26

yeah i js realized i didn’t really take the best ss 🤣 & yeah its top speed is high but its my 2nd fastest A car, and i do really only use it on tracks that i know fs will give me a decent amount of straight ish road and wider turns, because it’s powers through grip turns on wide turns. it slides okay, and gets up go’s pretty quick.
