At EVO 2019 I got to sit down and interview one of the greatest multi fighting game players the world has ever seen. The legendary Ryan Hart. Hailing from the UK Ryan holds 4 Guinness World Records and comes second only to Justin Wong in terms of number of tournament wins across entirely different fighting games, including tiles in Tekken at Evo, King of Fighters in Japan, and Street Fighter across the world.
His life story is truly inspirational…if you’re into that sort of thing ;)
