Non-CFOP 3x3 official records?

[efattah]

With a lot of exciting activity happening in the development of new 3x3 methods (such as ECE), I think it would be really helpful to establish what are the actual records for non-CFOP speedsolves. For example, what are the fastest official averages for Roux, ZZ, Petrus, Waterman and any other method that has been used to achieve sub-15 averages. I suppose Roux would be 7.37 by Alex Lau, I've seen some circa-8 ZZ and Petrus averages (non-official), not sure what the official fastest are. It is a shame that the WCA database has no data regarding what kind of method was used in each solve. I think competitor age as well as some data regarding the solve type would be super valuable for the future. I'd also be interested in videos of the fastest non-official averages, but I'd say official would take priority, if you have any knowledge please post.

Listing what method people use, would require a massive amount of data collection, and really doesn't seem nessary to me. The logicalists of collecting it is a promblem and this list could never be complete. Also I think the WCA does track age however, it's not listed for privacy reasons.

There's a wiki page with the fastest unofficial records for "the big four" (ie CFOP, Roux, ZZ and Petrus) that have been caught on video.

As far as i know, the fastest official ZZ average is Andy Huang's 9.78.

It's difficult to track though because people use different variations of methods and different styles.

Just get Tao Yu to do Petrus in comp and we'll have an answer
