[guysensei1]

yes

 

[shadowslice e]

Almost certainly.

 

[Ordway Persyn]

Yes. even if he gets a 3.5 in comp, someone will eventually get it.

 

[FireCuber]

Most likely, but not sure. Go Feliks!!!!!!

 

[Competition Cuber]

Create a poll with different people.

 

[CornerCutter]

Any of the fast guys really have an equal chance of getting it next.

 

[Mingler_65071]

I'm pretty sure someone like Max, Lucas, Mats or somebody with a wr in the past will get it. Feliks will most probably steal the wr back though.

 

[Cubed Cuber]

Feliks always steals his records back. Like almost every time.

 

[Douf]

No

 

[Cubed Cuber]

The chances I guess are kinda small since very few speedcubers are almost as good as Feliks. Like Kevin Hays and Mats Valk.

Kevin hays... XD idk if you have checked in a while but his 3x3 isn't all that great. He focuses mainly on big cubes

Feliks only beat the previous World Record Single, Mats Valk's 4.74, by 0.01 seconds. Since then, Drew Brads has also gotten a 4.76-second 3x3 single, which is only 0.03 seconds behind the world record. So Feliks barely even broke the single, and people are still getting fast, lucky solves with times that linger near his 4.73.

Take that into consideration, and also remember that a long period of time occurred after Feliks' two 5.66 solves (5.66 was Feliks' last world record single before his 4.73) where he didn't hold the world record single. Not only did people take the single world record away from Feliks, people who didn't even hold the world record single beat out Feliks with solves like 5.09 and 4.94, simply because Feliks didn't have enough good luck and execution in the same solve. (His official PB was 5.32 around that time.)

So for an indefinite amount of time, the world record singles in almost all of the WCA events will continue to be broken over and over, because that's what the category comes down to: luck and execution. Feliks is not keeping any world record lol, either he will break his own record, or someone else will!

Spoiler

Until he unleashes the true power of zeroing, at which point we're all doomed.

 

[Cubed Cuber]

But isn't zeroing a fake thing made up by Feliks?

 

[DGCubes]

Zeroing is so real.

But seriously, the 3x3 single is so far from unbeatable at this point. Dozens of people are capable with a decent scramble.

 

[AMCuber]

Some person like Rowe Hessler or Lucas might beat the record, but Feliks would probably take it back, like the sub 20 4x4 wr. Who else didn't notice that Lucas didn't do his best in Nationals? I saw a live video of the results in nationals and Max won.

 

[FastCubeMaster]

There are two answers I have to this:
-no, I did notice Lucas didn't get his best results
-yes I did notice Lucas did his best.

Ok that was kind of confusing but not nearly as much as the question was.

 

[AlphaSheep]

Some person like Rowe Hessler... might beat the record

Rowe was really good back in 2010. These days he's not even in the top 50. I have a feeling it won't be Rowe who beats Feliks' record.

 

[Mr Cubism]

It depends....if an unknown asteroid is closing in and wipes out humanity tomorrow, it will be difficult to beat any record.

Well that escalated quickly
