WR Speculation Thread

[Isaac Lai]

IMO it is only a matter of time before someone in the sub-8 club gets an official LL skip... In that case the 3x3 single would probably be beatable only by another LL skip.

It wouldn't even take a LL skip yet; a skip of any kind could be an easy WR. All of Felik's recent 5s that are on video have been fullstep, and the only one that actually did have a PLL skip would have been a WR if it hadn't been a DNF from a corner twist.

Sajwo got a 6.87 official single when he averaged 13, with a LL skip.

I think Feliks will get the 3x3 WR with a PLL-Skip and a time of 5.15

 

[YouCubing]

5BLD WR of 5:18.65! First one in a while...
Rankings.
1. CyanSandwich, 2.00
2. YouCubing, 13.14
3. Forcefulness, 15.36

This is a bit old, but IMO the only one who's "really" sub 8 is Faz...

Who's sub 8 except for faz then?

alex mats bill

alex mats bill

I'd say alex is exactly 8. Mats and Bill has much more sup 8 then sub 8.

Based on what? At Home bill has low 7 averages.

 

[FailCuber]

Based on offical averages?

and also an on cam former ytuwr sub 7 ao 12. @failcuber: everyone gets nervous at comps. its almost impossible to get what you average. feliks has sub 7 averages at home but does he get a sub 7 average of 5 in every single round? of course not.

Average of their last 10 official averages:

Bill Wang: 8.12
Alex Lau: 8.23
Mats Valk: 8.23

Although they are certainly overall sub-8 at home, comp nerves + timer fails (like I know Bill has had so much of) make them seem slightly worse then they are.

Hmmm, very interesting statistic

He's known to have particularly bad comp nerves. I actually asked Alex about his global average on youtube, and his answer (not verbatim) was "I'd like to say my average is low 7, but that's only when I'm warmed up and in the zone. Mid 7." He's gotten more than one sub 7 average of 100; saying that he's not sub 8 is simply inaccurate.

also, he said he could get much faster, but doesnt feel like putting the effort in. now he pretty much quit cubing.

I am not an everyone? I do pretty great in comps.

Cubing is not all about home averages. It's also an ability to handle big stress on competitions. I agree with statement that Feliks is the only person who is a true sub8 cuber.
