sub-30 5x5 feels so impossible yet so feasible by Max

sub-30 5x5 feels so impossible yet so feasible by Max

According to the UWR page, he's gotten at least one sub-30 at home, so it's going to happen officially eventually. It would be unlikely for it to happen very soon in my opinion, but people have been known to break UWRs officially for longer events were the single is less luck-based, maybe some adrenaline can help focus. If I remember correctly his 1:47.89 7x7 single was the fastest time officially or unofficially.

Sub-30 5x5 solve sounds impossible to me.

 

[gsingh]

he is only 3 seconds away, so it could be done

 

[gsingh]

i think probably will happen this year

Sub-30 5x5 solve sounds impossible to me.

He's already done it at home.

How? Max is so fast at 5x5, I don't think anyone will challenge him for at least five more years. Tymon's a little close but if you look at their times at home and this statistics page Max is clearly dominate. Too bad about that almost three second PLL.

5 years is a long time... that being said, the big cube scene doesn't seem very competitive and all the record holders are all established older cubers. Just watch out for an unknown Chinese cuber to come out of nowhere and rise up the ranks...

Lol, Tommy's in the background of Max's Vid, flipping out about the world record solve.

that guy's 6x6 and 7x7 times are INSANE

He's already done it at home.

Is there a video?

Also could have a 31 if not for the lock up.

 

[TheSilverBeluga]

For some reason I find the complete lack of a reaction from anyone else incredibly amusing. Like, they just turn and stare at him lol

 

[Tabe]

Is there a video?

No video that I've seen.

 

[Billabob]

I think sub-30 5x5 in a competition is a long way off. One thing I've been itching to see is a sub-1 6x6 single, Max's PB is very close but he hasn't updated his PB sheet for 6x6 in years.
