Smash player Ember sets 65-hour world record for continuously playing fighting games
That’s about three straight days full of fighting games!
Justin “Ember” Jackson has set a new record for playingfighting gamesfor the longest time.
His journey started last week on November 8, where he livestreamed himself playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Ember’s goal was to surpass the57-hour recordof co-Smash player Daniel Bergman in Guinness World Records’ official category “longest videogame marathon on a fighting game”.
For his record to qualify, Ember has to play his game of choice for the longest time possible and was allowed only 10 minutes of rest time each hour.

After a grueling 65 hours worth of playing his favorite fighting game title, Ember succeeded. His feat will, however, only be confirmed by Guinness early next year.
