Street Fighter has a new world champion – and he’s from the UK.
Benjamin “Problem X” Simon won Street Fighter 5 at Evo – the world’s biggest fighting game tournament – defeating legendary Japanese player Hajime “Tokido” Taniguchi in grand finals.
Playing as M. Bison, Problem X beat Akuma player Tokido 3-0 after the Japanese reset the bracket (Evo is a double elimination tournament).
