he spent a good amount of time inspecting (which isn't included in the 17 seconds), the method seems to be 3style (i'm no BLDer so please correct me if wrong), i think it probably is legit but i wouldn't be surprised to learn otherwise

0:20 to 0:38 is spent inspecting, then there is a cut, so at least 18 seconds for inspection and then 17 seconds for solve so at least 35 seconds for whole solve which is quite reasonable for a "guiness record holder"

There's something suspicious about Michel Gondry's solve with his nose ...

I saw that on Twitter lol.
He seems to use M2/3 Style which is pretty sus for a "Guinness WR holder"
probs it was a easy handscramble or a set up.

(lol my dad actually fell for it xD)

Spoiler: Indians would understand this

The Little Master shouldn't have promoted fake solves

The guy who scrambled the cube is(was, actually) a famous sports person in India.
So, probs it was a easy handscramble or a set up.

This is a suspicion I've been having for a while, but I never brought it up. It regards Cube for Speed's channel and his videos.

His alg/solve videos seem sped up to me, because he moves very choppily, yet is still fast. The speedstacks timer could possibly be hacked to run slower. Here is an example of one of his videos that I suspect is sped up.

when he scrambled, it did seem a bit fishy. Also I dont really trust this guy, in one of his Gan 11 m pro videos, it seemed fake.

Oh definitely. The stackmat thing would be easily done if he had the timer at 16.57 at the beginning and didn't run it at all.

i can see the lights running, so i doubt that. but it still can be hacked in other ways

how exactly can you hack a speedstacks timer? if you got access to the chip, what would you do? it's way easier just to speed up a video.

I know, but if he sped up the video then it would show his real time

 

[Deleted member 55877]

Perhaps he clipped in the part when he displayed the time.

That’s for sure sped up. No doubt about it. The start of the first cube and the clapping at the end is what gave it away the most.

you cannot handle the insane chinese man cps (claps per second)

 

[abunickabhi]

Video looks fake to me.

 

[SH03L4C3]

fake.
that insane Chinese claps per second is too much for me
