Yea my buddies and I once were screwing around and we had 4 people in an infinite time match and for whatever reason I decided I'd pick Fox for the match. Couple of hours later my hands would not stop hurting lol.

Thank you everyone who has commented and supported us thus far. We really hope you guys enjoy the matches and will be able to watch Melee go down in the history books.
I've worked very hard setting this up so hopefully it pays off
If you have any questions about the record and opinions feel free to address them to me.

There is too much to say when it comes to everything you have to actually do for the record, so I will keep it simple. For the most part you must be playing non-stop and in a fighting game scenario. You are allowed breaks when you have accumulated time but none of the time you take on break counts towards your final score.
The hardest part isn't so much setting the record, but finding sponsors who will pay for your food, give you a venue to use for an extended period of time, hire employees to work for 36+ hours, and on top of that you have to find two unbiased witnesses to record your every move the duration of the record. There's a lot of red tape.
If you would like to attempt the record yourself by all means go to Guinness World Records website and do a little research though.

Why do you need sponsors to pay for 2 days' worth of food? And what are the employees doing? lol

This is me the day after every tournament.
Good luck.
Don't think I could pull this off.
Powerplay isnt just going to let a bunch of strangers chill in their store unattended.
Your first question doesnt even deserve an answer.

Let's say a meal costs relatively $5 p/ person... in one day our group would eat roughly $60 worth of food. If we did go for 40+ hours (which is likely) that would mean $120. Wouldn't you rather not spend that money?
WEZL answered the second question perfectly.
Either way you're missing the point! Smash is ****ing badass and we're super stoked to get to play it for nearly two days straight. Hopefully we will inspire another generation of people to play!

WAUW, INCREDIBLE!
Are there any rules to set this record?
Like a maximun break for 5 minutes every 2 hours ?

Real men would use ICs and wobble for 36 hours.

it would be very interesting to see how many kills a player would get in a match like that..
i personally would not keep count so it would be super suspenseful at the very end

As of right now 36 hours is just a realistic goal we've set for ourselves. Personally I would like to go 48

If we push past 36 hours then it would be up to our sponsor (Power Play Video Games) to pay their employees to continue to work.
I welcome any challengers who would like attempt to beat our record on one condition... PLAY MELEE!!!! This whole record is meant to give hype to the game we so love, not for us to be known.
On a side note, we just got another sponsor! Wooooohoooo

I'd join in on this if TN wasn't so far. You guys got this though, easy. Good luck. Adventure mode with every character takes like 6 easy hours. winkwink.

Is melee classified a fighting game in those kind of records? ( I am being serious)
Good luck and I hope you get it! :D
