Have any of you seen anything fishy while racing Mario Kart online? Until tonight I thought it was pretty much cheat-proof, except for the maka wuhu glitch of course. But I got into a group tonight where one player from Japan whose name (written in hiragana - I read japanese at an elementary level) was Shimizu Teppei. He had over 15,000VR !!, and won about 8 out of the 10 or so races I was in with him. I held my own pretty well through this, took 1st place once, and in fact was in 1st place for many of the races right up until the end. That's when Shimizu Teppei would suddenly appear from nowhere. I don't mean he'd fly in from overhead or slip in from making use of a shortcut -- I mean he would literally appear from nowhere, suddenly popping from the middle or rear of the pack up to right in front of me and in the lead. I was able to notice once that the same thing was shown happening on the lower screen map too. The first couple times I saw this I thought maybe it was just a communication lag and the system was correcting itself and putting him where he was supposed to be. But it happened lots of times, always right near the end of the race (less than 5 seconds to go), and it was always Shimizu Teppei.
Thoughts? I'm gonna forget about it cuz this is the only time I've seen something like this. But I've been playing the game a while now and there was something definitely not normal about Shimizu Teppei's success.
