Fun fact: Faz hasn't held this record since 2011. Congratulations!

*2012, or early 2013

This brings up an interesting point: what the longest time for a person to reclaim a lost world record?

Rob did longest time to get another CR/WR recently in the stats thread, the answer might be there.

 

[asacuber]

Dang why'd I miss everything today

 

[kake123]

Finally!!!

 

[stoic]

Full step and with a slight wobble on the fourth pair...
Incredible!

 

[Berd]

Maybe the meme motivated him haha. Nicely done, Faz.

[Weston]

Maybe it was obvious to Feliks, but I think it's pretty awesome how he chose to do break up the obvious already made pair on the green cross to do a different x cross with a better continuation. Its also awesome how he didn't do the obvious 2nd pair first. I love it when fast solves are fast because the solver did something smart.

 

[FastCubeMaster]

A visual reconstruction of the solve. (Kinda aimed at intermediate cubers)
I didn't really wanna make a new thread for this cos I thought there were too many already:

 

[Oatch]

Feels bad to be Mats, ahaha. But congratulations to Faz for claiming the title of WR single holder back finally! It was a shock to see this pop up so suddenly, but I'm not altogether surprised in the end - a well deserved result!

 

[Rcuber123]

holy **** that old WR only held for like a month. well deserved by feliks. GJ!

 

[DGCubes]

Insane solve, and definitely deserved. Love the reaction.
