Guitar Hero has a new world champion – one Dylan Phifer of Everett, Washington.
The twelve year old recently submitted a tape of his performance at the Everett Game Crazy Store as well as witness testimonies proving that he had racked up 1 019 000 points on Guitar Hero, beating the previously held world record by 10 000 points.
“I never expected to break a world record on something that is kind of important. Maybe something kinda small but not this big.” said Phifer, as reported by First Coast News.
Phifer’s mother Sallie believes that “Dylan’s always had a natural ability to really focus in on things.”, an ability which enabled him to spend countless hours practicing on his Xbox 360 before his world record attempt.
Andrew McGillivray, who works at Game Crazy, says “he’s incredible. I’ve never seen anyone play guitar hero like him, it just baffles me how good he is.”
“This is such a great thing to see anyone break a Guinness Book of World Record but on top of that having a 12-year-old come in and do it was fantastic.” he continued.
Despite his success Phifer has no plans to learn to how play a real guitar.
“I tried it. I just couldn’t get it for my life. There are all these strings on it and you have to strum and hit notes.”
