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