Guess i should give up my dream to hold the 3x3 wr.
lol sameGuess i should give up my dream to hold the 3x3 wr.
I'd count Tony Fisher too, although he's not going to be speedsolving with his giant 3x3 any time soon...It's interesting how Mats is one of very few people who uses his own cube (at least without the magnets) and method (at least subset). Only other two I can think of are Chris Tran and Erno Rubik. Pretty cool group to be in.
For his 5.55 he used VLS to get a U perm, for this one he used VLS and then got a PLL skip.Nope, his 5.55 was the same
Mats pretty much uses VLS every solve

Yeahhhh, that's a bit of a stretch.I'd count Tony Fisher too, although he's not going to be speedsolving with his giant 3x3 any time soon...
As the first real VLS world record I would say this is the first time in history that someone has set a world 3x3 record with their own method? Also, with no ready-made pairs, I agree this is definitely one of the more complex solves that resulted in a 3x3 single record. Inspirational. Chris Tran said in his ZZ-CT talk that these days you have to get 'really lucky' to get a 3x3 single record; Mats proves this is not the case (yet). With an easy cross and a PLL skip I would count this record as only mildly lucky.
Lucas is still the first to solve the cube under 5 seconds and I have a feeling that the new record isn't getting such a big media attention. RIP Lucas when someone solves it under 4RIP Lucas
4.6x - Feliks (he's the only one (currently) who could achieve that in comp).Good job Mats! Any predictions for the next WR single (3x3)?

Call themYou can't be serious... There are at least like 50 people who could do that.

If Mats were 0.05 seconds faster he would've done that. Basically anyone sub-9 has the potential for that with a nice scramble.

Yeah, lots of people have the ability to get that time, they just need a decent scramble, good execution, and some luck to do it.Hyo-Min Seo got a 4.94 in comp when his previous PB was 7.21. Assuming a direct correlation, anyone with a 6.84 single or lower could theoretically get a 4.69 in comp. That's a good 121 people.
