World Record predictions in the year 2020?

[Ranzha]

Lol people predicting magic WRs
Little did they know

 

[MadaraMangekyou]

I saw some of the first post, and the actual reality is over the predictions
in my opinion, in theory, is posible that the 3x3x3 WR single, could be less than 4 seconds, is just about, number of turns for to solve it, and turning speed... if is a lucky solve, with oll o pll skip, it maybe took only 45 moves for the cube to be solved, so, if somebody is able to do regularly more than 11 turns per seconds, in that lucky solve would be the next WR... maybe we will see it in the world championship...

Yup. The UWR is already sub 4. It's just a matter of time before sub 5 and then sub 4.

2x2 - 0.35 / 1.35
3x3 - 3.57 / 5.48
4x4 - 15.53 / 19.82
5x5 - 38.67 / 43.29
6x6 - 1:20.xx / 1:36.xx
3x3 BLD - 14.xx
4x4 BLD - 1:4x.xx
5x5 BLD - 3:xx.xx
3x3 OH - 5.55 / 7.53
3x3 fewest moves - 16
3x3 w/ feet - won't be an event, but 21.197 / 25.30
Megaminx - 33.00 / 38.93
Pyraminx - 0.96 / 1.96
Square-1 - 5.56 / 8.31
Clock - 4.58 / 5.46
Skewb - 1.38 / 2.33, Sarah's advanced/KK/whatever method people use now isn't used by the best Skewbers
3x3 multi BLD - 60/60, then Maskow quits. 3 others reach sup-30 points, but nobody comes close to the WR

3x3 BLD - 14.xx
3x3 multi BLD - 60/60, then Maskow quits. 3 others reach sup-30 points, but nobody comes close to the WR

I doubt both of these will happen. Unless it's Maskow getting a 14 single and beating everyone by far, I think MBLD will also be considerably faster and 35-45 points will be like 20-30 points is currently.

Wut? Seriously? Do you know how MBLD system works?

Somewhat, and being faster at 3BLD will obviously make you better at MBLD.

 

[CiaranBeahan]

6x6 - 1:20.xx

aiming high! Hopefully I'll be the one to fulfil that prediction!

 

[FailCuber]

Somewhat, and being faster at 3BLD will obviously make you better at MBLD.

So you're saying the smaller the point is the better the time is? Have you checked WCA rankings?

 

[Randomno]

Where did I say or imply that?

 

[ChickenWrap]

He was saying that 35-45 points will be the same as how "common" or relatively unimpressive 20-30 points is currently

Nov 8 2017 EDIT: Revisited this post around 2 and a half years later, all the bolded stuff are predictions that are still sub today's wrs and the bolded and underlined stuff are tied with today's wrs. Was probably a nub when I made this cos I left out random stuff here and there. It's insane seeing how ridiculously fast people and hardware is improving. The only prediction I've made so far that's still kinda far off being beaten is MBLD but there's still a little over 2 years to go (I'm watching you zeshaan)

June 8 2018 EDIT: Went from 11 bolded times to just 3 since the last edit.

August 3 2019 EDIT: Down to just MBLD, 5 months to go :O

 

[CyanSandwich]

And, the new WR holder who get's this record will

:rolleyes:

haha wut

 

[JemFish]

In the year 2020 I will hold all the blindfolded records except MBLD...

Spoiler: SPOILER

...hopefully.

 

[PJKCuber]

Won't cubing be dead by 2020?

 

[obelisk477]

Won't cubing be dead by 2020?

Now thats the real prediction

 

[Isaac Lai]

Actually skewb might come to be just slightly slower than 2x2.

 

[JemFish]

Won't cubing be dead by 2020?

No, of course not; Faz is immortal.

 

[PJKCuber]

No, of course not; Faz is immortal.

Nope, he is human.
