I had put it in my youtube last day！

Wow!

All of his blind-cubing at those speed 3x3x3 competitions paid off!

[IamWEB]

He beat Nakajima's video from at home! And by .09 seconds, too.

This time is just incredible, seriously.

[blah]

How is Nakaji even involved in all this? It's a BLD record for goodness' sake.

This time is just incredible, seriously.

How so? It's not even a second better than the previous WR, and Ville's done better averages at home.

I'm not dissing Haiyan here, I'm just surprised that people are surprised that he got the WR

I also don't see what's so impressive about this. Haiyan did a good job, and obviously is very talented, but Ville's going to steal the WR away at Vaasa for sure, by at least 5 seconds. (Note that I'm not as good of a blind predictor as Mike is)

Oooh good to see his reaction! Nice video!

It's obviously impressive. Of the thousands of BLD solves ever done in competition, this is the fastest. Ever. Even if Ville beats his record by 20 seconds the next time he competes, it doesn't make this not impressive. The man deserves a lot of credit, don't rob him of that.

I agree with Kian. For all you other losers if ville got that in competition and averaged a ton better at home then dont you think this guy can too? And he has attended many competitions after his WR and i don't see a new one every time.

If you mean Ville.. he only has been to one comp after the WR competition.

Nakaji does BLD, doesn't he? He's also very popular on youtube.

It's incredible because it's a WR. If you don't think it's good, why don't you go beat Ville's 48.05 in competition (or even in practice)? I bet you can't. Anyway, Ville has had a chance to do better than this in competition, but he didn't. So if you're saying "blah blah this is a bad time" - who cares? It beats every other time ever achieved in a competition, including some of Ville's times! Besides, Ville's not the only person who's done better averages than this at home - Haiyan has too! This may not be a very good solve for Haiyan (or for Ville) but they have both had trouble achieving good results in competitions, so I for one am very impressed that Haiyan has pulled through to get a good official result.
