Your favorite cuber who's not the world's best?

[IRNjuggle28]

Yeah, I know, it's really easy to say Feliks is your favorite. The question I'm more interested in is which cubers you all like for reasons other than their raw speed? Maybe they have a particularly elegant turning style, or know unusual alg sets, or use a method that's unusual and cool... which cubers that aren't necessarily the best are your favorites?

Perhaps my answer isn't a good one, since the person I'm about to mention actually is a world record holder, but for me, the answer is Sebastian Weyer. My reasons for liking him have little to do with having world records. I absolutely love his turning style, and he has an unbelievable top turning speed. Compared to someone like Feliks, he pauses more but turns faster than Feliks ever does at times. No matter what times he gets, his solves are unbelievable aesthetically. Other cubers that I've liked because of their solving style more than their speed are Alex Lau and Justin Thomas (ubercuber).

Who do you all like?

 

[Pryge]

[TraciAG]

Cubeologist. Really passionate about cubing and meeting people in the community, he posts an ao5 almost every day and is very active. He always shows interesting puzzles and in general is just a really positive guy.

I think you mean "non-Feliks" cuber
answer: Kevin Hays, I love his attitude

 

[WayneMigraine]

Nicholas Ho or Kavin Tangtartharakul. I'm not sure which.

 

[theROUXbiksCube]

Jacob Hutnyk ftw!!!!!! Hyper Yoshi is awesome xD
and PDF

 

[NewCuber000]

Eric Boudreau (Aka myself) is pretty great...

In all seriousness though, Alex Lau, because of how fast he manages to turn with the roux method. His F2B is rediculous!

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

Chris Olson, partly because I like his style of videos.

 

[Lyn Simm]

Louis de Mendonça is my fave

-Lyn

 

[megaminxwin]

Tomas Macadam, he's a cool dude.

 

[molarmanful]

No one mentioned badmephisto, but he's got great tutorials.

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

Noah Arthurs. Seems like a really great dude. He's passionate about not just cubing but the cubing community. Also his BLD tutorials are superb.

MYSELF
just kidding, maybe Kennan LeJeune. Cool guy, good friend, fast cuber.

 

[guysensei1]

Nicholas Ho .

Name sounds familiar. Who is he?

 

[NeilH]

Chris Olson for sure because of the effort he puts into his videos to help other cubers and his knowledge of LL.

Second for me is Alex because he broke barriers with a method no one else has ever done so good with and his turning style is awesome.

Thomas Visaya Neville, he never ceases to amaze me he's only nine or something but he just improves so much every competition.

Kim Jokinen

Seriously though, I have a hard time answering this question even without the limitations.

E: I guess out of the ones I've met it has to be Louis Cormier

 

[Isaac Lai]

Thomas Visaya Neville, he never ceases to amaze me he's only nine or something but he just improves so much every competition.

The one who took Ciaran's only non-NR

For me, it's probably three people. Jonatan Klosko's skewb WRs inspired me to start practicing skewb seriously.

Yu Da-Hyun because she is only 12 but is so far ahead of everyone else in megaminx.
