Anyone who has even attempted to play fighting games competitively knows just how difficult it can be to become even remotely good at them. Being able to attain a high rank online in a complex fighting game such as "Street Fighter 5" means you have skills and can be considered among the world's best players. However, the person who owns the top rank in "Street Fighter 5" is not even all that great, and even recently got demolished by Daigo Umehara, the guy considered to be the greatest Street Fighter player of all time.

The top ranked player goes by the name BEST_KOREA and even has a flag of North Korea displayed in his profile. He sits more than 10,000 League Points (LP) on top of the number two-ranked xWOLFKRONEx despite not being all that skilled in the game. So how has he managed to do it? A report posted on Shoryuken's website showed that there was something fishy about his rank.

BEST_KOREA is apparently using a hack that helps keep his win percentage at a high rank. He currently has a 99 percent winning percentage and the hack that he is using keeps adding points to his win totals even after he loses a match. Most of the other players online have win percentages that border around the 75 percent mark.

While the PC version of "Street Fighter 5" has its fair share of drawbacks, hacks and glitches continue to remain the chief concern of most players. Players who try to grind their way to the top already find it difficult enough to do, so it is completely understandable if some of them are feeling pretty salty about others who use hacks to climb their way to the top ranks.

Kotaku reports that Capcom has yet to resolve the issue as it is mostly concerned with users who are sidestepping the game's microtransactions. A video of Daigo (using the handle "mememe") facing off against BEST_KOREA can be seen below.
