World Record Predictions for Year 2025

[Ianwubby]

2x2 - 0.40, 0.90
3x3 - 3.51, 4.66
4x4 - 14.90, 18.80
5x5 - 34.34, 38.19
6x6 - 1:03.93, 1:15.00
7x7 - 1:45.20, 1:54.09
OH - 5.70, 8.43
FMC - 17, 21.33
Feet - 16.40, 21.54
Pyra - 1.06, 1.75
Mega - 24.98, 28.49
Skewb - 0.88, 1.74
Squan - 4.04, 5.50
3BLD - 11.90, 16.07
4BLD - 1:14.41
5BLD - 3:00.01
MBLD - 52/54 1:00:00

Some of these might be beaten way before 2025 for all I know, but meh.

 

[CarterK]

4BLD - 1:14.41

there is no way this will take 7 years to beat.

 

[minnow]

You know, why not

3x3 - 3.16/4.46
2x2 - .36/1.03
4x4 - 16.94/19.11
5x5 - 30.96/35.67 (yau5)
6x6 - 1:08.64/1:12.90
7x7 - 1:47.89/1:55.43
3BLD - 14.56/16.89
FMC - 18/20.33
OH - 5.66/8.97
Feet - 15.89/18.98
Clock - 2.98/3.99
Mega - 26.78/29.28
Pyra - 1.00/1.89
Skewb - .89/1.78
Sq-1 - 4.01/6.89
4BLD - 1:09.39
5BLD - 2:35.45
MBLD - 59/60 59:58

It will be exciting to see how wrong I am, although I'm not quite sure which direction yet. Tried to make them look crazy to us now.

I had a discussion with Stanley about how far bigBLD could go (with major TPS) and this is getting pretty close to it.

I just realized you predicted the current 7x7 WR single perfectly. Pretty crazy.

 

[the super cuber]

3x3 4.06
2x2: 0.46
4x4: 15.XX
5x5: 35.XX
6x6: 1:07.XX
7X7: 1:45.XX
oh: 6.88 (ties with feliks)
Wf: 13.XX
pyra: sub 1
Skweb: sub 1
FMC: 17
Squan: 4.73( cuz why not )
Mega: 26.XX
clock: 3.35
3bld: 15.XX
4bld: 1:30.XX
5BLD: 3:10.XX
MBLD: 49/50 60:00

MBLD already done

Do you expect no one to break that in 7 years, seeing how max smashed his own world record to get that and seeing his improvement over the past year.

 

[oliviervlcube]

he is just saying that the CURRENT WR single is predicted perfectly, not the WR in 2025

 

[CarterK]

I just realized you predicted the current 7x7 WR single perfectly. Pretty crazy.

Wow. Thats crazy. It's already crazy that one of my predictions happened NOW.

Also if I were to guess, the next record on my list that will be beaten after 7x7 is squan average.

 

[Hazel]

7x7 single will be sub-1:20

 

[Prabal Baishya]

7x7 single will be sub-1:20

That would be really really hard to achieve.(I think so.)

 

[CarterK]

That would be really really hard to achieve.(I think so.)

2025 is 7 years from now. 7 years ago was 2011. There's still plenty of time.

 

[CarterK]

You know, why not

3x3 - 3.16/4.46
2x2 - .36/1.03
4x4 - 16.94/19.11
5x5 - 30.96/35.67 (yau5)
6x6 - 1:08.64/1:12.90
7x7 - 1:47.89/1:55.43
3BLD - 14.56/16.89
FMC - 18/20.33
OH - 5.66/8.97

Ok holy, Some of these are getting dangerously close, I might make a new list soon

 

[Trexrush1]

Spoiler: Predictions

2x2 - .45, 1.08
3x3 - 3.25, 4.93
4x4 - 15.97, 17.63
5x5 - 31.76, 37.78
6x6 - 54.20, 57.96
7x7 - 1:33.73, 1:37.55
OH - 6.14, 8.36
FMC - 19 still, but now tied by like 6 people
Feet - 15.53, 19.26
Pyra - .82, 1.77
Mega - 22.74, 27.41
Skewb - .95, 1.81
Squan - 4.52, 6.12
3BLD - 12.63, 15.48

idk, I feel like people are inderestimating how low 6x6 and 7x7 can go. Hardware will most certainly improve, and so will big cube specialists like Max.

 

[Tyler Fresh]

2025 isn't that far away. Official records for 2030 instead:
2x2: 0.31, 0.97
3x3: 3.59, 4.24
4x4: 16.68, 17.59
5x5: 29.45, 36.22
6x6: 59.74, 1:02.63
7x7: 1:45.88, 1:59.31
3BLD: 12.91, 16.52
3x3 FMC: 16, 19.33
3x3 OH: 5.12, 7.04
3x3 w/feet: 12.40, 14.67
Clock: no longer an official event
Megaminx: 23.24, 27.11
Pyraminx: no longer an official event
Skewb: no longer an official event
Square-1: 3.73, 5.04
4BLD: 1:02.75

MBLD: 62/63 59:58
6BLD: 6:56.82
Megaminx BLD: 5:13.02

lol 7x7 average is already below this, and single is very close.

 

[VDel_234_]

3x3 - 3.03/4.41
2x2 - 0.42/1.06
4x4 - 14.98/17.00
5x5 - 27.88/31.11
6x6 - 59.80/1:03.45
7x7 - 1:37.16/1:43.22
3BLD - 11.02/14.38
FMC - 17/20.67
OH - 4.99/7.31
Feet - 13.28/15.17
Clock - 2.93/3.81
Mega - 20.18/22.95
Pyra - 0.75/1.51
Skewb - 0.80/1.58
Sq-1 - 3.72/5.03
4BLD - 1:03.10
5BLD - 2:57.87
MBLD - 59/60 in 59:50

Honestly can't wait to see how wrong I am. I tried to make these sound ridiculous now, because the future records will seem ridiculous/impossible to us. With the insanely fast growth rate of cubing, I wouldn't be surprised if we see large, specialized communities develop around more events, kind of like what we've seen with 3BLD and MBLD recently. I feel like most events won't have a single dominating person, but rather an entire group of people who are all equally skilled and capable of getting WRs.

(Also, I'd like to predict that some events would be added and some would be removed, but that's a shot in the dark at this point. Really hard to say what will be trending enough to become an event between now and then.)

I think that would be fairly accurate, but it might be way off for events like 5, 6, and 7. Mainly because of the fact that Max is getting faster and faster. I could be wrong though.

 

[Loser]

Idk if I've already posted predictions here, but here's some either way
2x2: 0.31/0.78

5x5: 28.78/30.04

MBLD: 65/68 1:00:02

 

[Cryoo]

Squan : 2.89 (assuming a crazy lucky scramble pops up)/5.78 (pretty slow bc IDK if Rasmus will get over nerves or nah, btw, he'll be 20 so IDK if he'll still cube)

 

[TetCuber48]

i think 3x3 single will be sub-3 since feliks has gotton 3.08 not at a comp but i'm not really sure

I'm with DesertWolf! These sound likely. However, I think 3x3 OH will be faster than this. I'd say sub-5 for single and sub-8 average.
