New 3x3 avg wr

[tsaoenator]

Congrats to Erik and good luck to Harris! (Even though I would like to hold on to NAR a bit longer)

 

[Faz]

wow!!! i hope this motivates nakaji to practice 3x3 again haha...great competition

Nakajima is so humble.

I predict Harris Chan will regain the WR average.

regain...? did harris ever have the WR average?

No idea.

 

[Unknown.soul]

did harris ever have the WR average?

No, he hasn't (yet )

 

[pjk]

Well, if Akkersdijk can get a 7.08 PLL skip, Nakajima can probably get a 6.xy PLL skip... >_>

And that's a shame, Yu; hopefully you'll be able to beat it within the year, then we can all embrace the re-alignment of the stars! (LOL at my lame astrology joke).

Still, though, Erik, you dog you... (I always knew this day would come)...
GO NAKAJIMA GO!

This isn't a bashing thread by any means. Please stop it.

Indeed, this heats up the 3x3x3 competition again..
though i'm sure sub-11 can easily be broken if the top cubers perform at their best
My prediction is that there'll be a sub-11 average by end of this year

I recommend you get an idea. (You could also check Harris's page.)

No Harris won't get it. He doesn't seem to perform to his great standard like at home. Nothing against Harris though, he's a top speedcuber.

I still think Breadan Vallance has potential one of the few people in the world to average sub 10 of 12? 32s PLL time attacks? If he just didn't get so nervous at comps I think he'd be top 5, easily.

 

[dChan]

Man, nice job Erik. If we keep pushing the limit like this my mind will explode at all the times of the top cubers.

Also, I think we should all congratulate Erik and not wish that someone else was the world record holder as some people seem to be doing.

 

[Erik]

First, congratulation Erik!! It's awesome

lol, i knew this would happen and Nakajima said he barely practices 3x3 anymore

lol he need to restart practice now:rolleyes:

Mmm...I don't restart practice of 3x3x3. Because I can beat WR for now. I know 11.11 is good, of cause. But not that good.(No offense Erik, it's a good record) Now, I need competitions, not practice ;-)
And I don't like 3x3x3 very much. I like bigger than 5x5x5 and Megaminx.

My next competition is Osaka Open. But I don't compete 3x3x3 :-( Because it has limit of events. We can compete only 4 events. I really scared...

EDIT:

I want Nakajima to have the record back. If you agree with me, put this in your signature:

Please stop.

Thanks Yu and all others,
I know it's not THAT good, I'll be the first one to say that. 2 high 12's are really bad. On one I misslotted and on one I flipped an edge on F2L and +2'd it too. We all know Yu, Harris, me and others all got way better averages of 12 than this. Probably all under 10 sec too. This is just the beginning. If the average world record is not under 10.50 before the end of the year I will be very surprised.
I don't expect this record to stand for a long time, but it's just nice to have had the average record too one time
Actually, I already gave up hope and got depressed after the 4th solve. I was quite sure I messed up a WR avg (AGAIN), but then got another good solve.
I did not practise for this and I had to use the old 7.08 cube, which is a bit poppy and locky now, because my other good cube is now too loose, also 4 hours of sleep don't really help to activate your brain.

About the video(s): I would be surprised if there are more than 2 or 3 solves cought on tape

'Funny' fact: 11.11 average without any 11's in the average is weird

@ Michael (qqwref): I hope you can get back the 7x7 wr!
@ abr71310: get lost and stop posting or change your attitude please
@ KubeKid73: ah well, I guess you heard of me now, now that I care that much about well-known-ness
@ Escher: he is certainly not the only one with a sub-10 average of 12 at home, he's really good but he can't do good yet at competitions. That's also part of cubing, I'm sure he will improve in competitions too though.

 

[Joël]

Erik is gewoon een ziekelijke eindbaas! whoehoeeeeei!

 

[AvGalen]

Now Erik needs to start practising for the most-important-of-them-all: The missing 2x2x2 average.

And don't complain about 4 hours of sleep Erik. It was your own choice to stay up and have some mindless fun. And do you really think it is a coincidence that there were 11 girls and that you did 11.11? Maybe next year 1 or 2 of them will be sick

(end to Joel: Endbosses are there to be beaten ...... after lots of practise)

 

[Zava]

haha, Erik is mystical with 11 girls there, he does 11.11 avg, with a judge whose room number is 708, he does a 7.08 single ^^

I am glad that you are glad for Erik to get this amazing World Record.

 

[ManuK]

Congrats,Erik!!.Hope you get a sub-11 average in a competition soon..

5x5x5, 6x6x6, 7x7x7 and Megaminx. *sigh*

Erik will keep the WR average 3x3 for a bit longer, but he lost the megaminx average WR by that post.

I still think Breadan Vallance has potential one of the few people in the world to average sub 10 of 12? 32s PLL time attacks? If he just didn't get so nervous at comps I think he'd be top 5, easily.

At least, I would say, 50 people have had averages at home better than the current WR average. They all have a chance at top5. I would hardly say Braendan would "easily" get it.

heh, i will admit i'm overoptimistic about breandan vallance... its just nice to have a world class (whether or not top 5/10 or whatever) solver from the UK - the general standard is pretty poor in comparison to say, the Netherlands, the US or Japan...

 

[panyan]

good going!

 

[Inusagi]

Finnaly, I think this WR will make Nakajima practise again. This is going to be awesome!
