Nevertheless, that's some good editing. Does anyone know how he did it?

I think he had a several cuts between juggles where he advanced the cubes several turns.

It's actually fully explained in this video:

Very impressive!

Oh well... I believe it's just one case, not about "VN" cubing as a country I suppose? I feel your frustration though

this kiddo averages 16 seconds and he claims he got a 4.27 single with first three pairs planned... :rolleyes:

He's just a kid trying to make a video. I think we can all agree that this was set up.

That face in the thumbnail tho

 

[duckyisepic]

if you don't know what VN means it is Vietnam

I honestly cannot stop cringing when I watch this video...

 

[DNF_Cuber]

Some of the editing is so trash. Like when he flashed 4.27 across the screen and it had that white square covering most of the screen but not the edges.

So you can hack a stackmat, this is to go faster though

This is for any cubing videos we see online if it looks sketchy, we can discuss it here, and come to a conclusion on whether it is real or fake

This solve looked sketchy to me. Is it fake?
he solves it BLD in 17 seconds

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"

the guy who solved is the feet wr holder lol

Considering his trash fingertricks on last layer, I doubt he could even do Last Layer in 4.27...

The camera skip is enough to suggest fakery. They went through the "trouble" to scrabble the cube in front of the camera so it can be seen as authentic, then right before solving it cuts.
Even a magician wouldn't stoop to doing that to pull off an illusion.

This looks pretty fake to me, since the first layer of the 2x2 was solved. I can't really see the 3x3 even thought it's very close, but it does seem fake as well. at least he wears a seat belt though
