British Kid Sets Street Fighter World Record
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.

What If Street Fighter IV Was Built On The Unreal Engine?
The characters would all wear giant shoulder pads! We kid. In reality, they’d be a lot more detailed, with a heavy emphasis on arm veins. And would look a little something like this.
