Britainâs Zak Bennett entered the record books last week, setting a Guinness World RecordsâŠrecord for most consecutive wins in Street Fighter IV. And it sounds like it took him all day to do it.
Bennettâs first attempt at the record â which we guess is new for the bookâs gamers edition, since no mention of the previous mark is made â ended at 28 games. Bit of a let-down, really. So he steeled himself, sat down, flexed his fingers and on his second attempt, strung together 108 wins.
Sure, Bennettâs probably not the best player in the world. Itâs not like Guinnessâ event invited the top players from Japan and the US. But heâs obviously no slouch, and can at least claim to be the worldâs most persistent player.
UPDATE â Sorry, should have added, he was playing against real players. It was a âtake on all-comersâ sort of thing.
