Ludwig world record

In November 2019, Ludwig set a new world record for the Domination minigame in Mario Party 4 on the GameCube. The minigame sees players attempt to register as many button presses as possible in ten seconds.

Previously, the game’s code would cap button presses at 160 – but thanks to a modder, that restriction could be upped to 300. With the ceiling raised, Ludwig set himself a challenge of clicking over 200 times.

He managed 201, which at the time was a brand new world record for the Domination minigame. He now claims he is the fastest button masher on the planet.

Ludwig Twitch Subathon

In March 2021, Ludwig began his own Twitch Subathon. The idea of the Subathon was that he would keep continuously streaming until the timer ran out, with each subscription adding 20 seconds onto the timer. After streaming for a few days, this was reduced to ten seconds for every sub – but the duration of the stream is still massive.

At the time of writing, it is still ongoing. Ludwig has been live for nine days and still has 45 hours left on his timer.

The Subathon has attracted mainstream media attention and has seen Ludwig rake in an immense number of subscribers. He became just the fourth streamer in history to break 100,000 subs, and currently sits at 106,000.

That’s the lowdown on Ludwig and his journey from stand-up comedian and Smash caster to one of Twitch’s biggest streamers.
