7.41 Rubik's Cube on cam PB!

Max Park said it took him about a year to get sub 10, and that's already ridiculous, I'd be amazed if you could do it before then.
He also said a week for sub 20.

If this is real I'm sorry, but I'm really, really skeptical.
Don't you think that he would have done it where he got a little faster and a not +2 to make it seem more real? 53 moves and 7 TPS. Thats 5 away from the worlds best. And no offence to MCNuggit, but his U perm was the one of a 13-14 second solver. What does he have to gain if it is fake? Not even sub 2008 Official. If he has been on reddit for 4 monts, he probably knows he will get bashed by the community if he goes to a comp and gets a 25 second avg. Do you really think 9.06 A05 is their just so we think it is legit? He could have put the cam another angle. Two move crosses are not that rare, heck my PB from when I used CFOP is a two move cross. I am not the CFOP pro, but even I know that F2L is so easy to see with a two move cross and plan out 1/2 pairs (Maybe he can do 3, I never could.). My PB also was a 7 move LL and about only 150 solves? Maybe he got grounded, maybe he did what people who want to become fast do, slow solves, no timer. I think he is legit.

Thank you very much :D I did slow solves for about 2 weeks, brought my F2L down from 15-20 seconds down to 4 seconds. I also learnt PLL and worked on my cross. Haven't finished learning OLL yet but I should be done soon.

And also, wow my video got a dislike haha..
 
I don't think it's fake, just crazy. Probably the insane improvement rate has something o do with it
Mine go something like:
8.8 ao5
9.7 ao12
10.5 ao50
10.7 ao100
11.1 ao1000

Edit: I forgot to add why I don't think it's fake. What has he got to benefit from saying he has a 7.4 single and those averages on these forums? It's not particularly fast and I don't see any other reason why he would.
I mean it could be, but what does that change?

Thank you. I can't believe I have gotten 3 dislikes on the video. I was so happy about a 7.4 solve and people are calling it fake. Unbelievable.
 
For everyone calling this fake, I get it, but its really not that odd to get 1 really good solve. Obviously the scaling is different but my pb is 16 secs flat and at that time I averaged like 28-32. Just because you lock up when you see a potentially easy cross/f2l doesn't mean other can't keep their cool. Hell I've done it once in my own way. I don't think its unreasonable for someone pushing the 12 second barrier to get an extraordinarily direct solve path, and I'm glad he got it on cam. Even if it's fake, he's only lying to himself. I really just don't see the motivation. A bit of overzealous skepticism IMHO. Gratz on the lucky but well executed solve.

Thank you very much, and thanks to everyone else who is smart enough to know that this isn't a fake solve.
 
Hey dude, have you been to a comp yet? Just thought of you for some reason and wondering how fast you are.
I haven't been to a comp yet, nothing has come up in my city yet. I'm currently averaging sub 9 and yesterday I got a sub 7 ao5! It's funny because I stay around a certain time for about a week, then I get a great ao5 and all my times suddenly drop to the times in the ao5. Maybe I will be sub 7 soon! I also got a 5.03 PB yesterday.

NO. WAY.

Ok I find this very hard to believe, because you've overtaken me even though I've been cubing for years more than you. But if this is true, tell me everything! How much do you practice each day, how do you practice, what tutorials do you learn off and what would you say you do differently than everyone else.

I would love to see some solves, I'm sure others would too.

Ummmmmm..... I have been cubing for about 4 months, know full pll and most olls, but no way are you sub nine after four months! I do about a hundred solves a day (half slow turning), and I am sub 24. HOW ARE YOU IMPROVING THAT FAST?!?!?! Does not make any sense.

Ok at least that is what I think. But dude, if you go to a comp and perform as well as you say you do, then AMAZING JOB!

Nah it's 5 months he is cubing, thread is from one month ago.
Still decent improvement I suppose.

it's been a month. you're saying you went from a low-mid 7 single (my current PB) to being sub9 in a month?? i hope you'll understand if i don't believe you until i see some proof thank have day

Thanks! I practice a lot every day, basically whenever I have my hands free. I do a lot of untimed solves because of this, some of them are slow solves, but most are just turning as fast as I can without pausing. I have found that lately I've been able to do around 7-8 TPS during F2L without pausing at all. That's what I've been focusing on lately, just turning really fast without pausing. I don't really watch tutorials, just example solves from a lot of top cubers like Feliks, Jay Mcneil, Drew Brads, and I also watch their fastest solves a lot, which gives me inspiration to go faster.

I think the main thing that has led me to progress this fast is changing my practice techniques all the time. If you stick to one practice technique for too long you will get use to it and your progress will slow down.

I have exams for the next two weeks so after that I'm going to upload some solves.

What the heck?! Daaang, that's impressive. I really want to see you go to a comp sometime soon.
