Having a sub-4 stackmat average on cam is beyond impressive!

 

[SkewbIsTheBestEvent]

I didn't know it was possible to turn that fast....

If he's claiming WB I'd prefer to see the whole average unedited, to include the scrambling/pauses between solves...

Bros is legit asking the WR for proof. Mate u can question me but no one can question the best 3x3er atm

Just because he is the WR holder does not mean that he would not stoop to the same levels as you. Yiheng Wang has also had a bit of a reputation with extras like when he asked for one during worlds finals or in his removed 2x2 WR. (I am not claiming he cheated I am just saying extra proof is always nice.

Just because he is the WR holder does not mean that he would not stoop to the same levels as you. Chinese cubers also already have a bit of a questionable reputation after many of them abused extras (like in Yiheng Wang's removed 2x2 wr).

Wait actually I am gonna agree with you, I dont want an unnecessary argument.


edit: sry sry sry I made such a big typo in saying not.

Kyle Santucci flashbacks

For context: Kyle Santucci was also accused of cheating and asked to upload an unedited average with scrambling between solves (by two people in the comments with a lot of people defending Kyle). He later uploaded an unedited average and they pretty much apologised for doubting it.

At least it's not like goofy GAN scrambles when he got that 1.05

So you guys agree.

CubeRoot says Yiheng is using a " Gan 1_ Maglev UV. Unreleased Gan 15?!?!!

Most likely a typo for Gan 14 Maglev UV

I mean, Faz faked stuff at one time. There's nothing wrong with asking for additional proof.

You have proof that other Chinese cubers have abused extras, etc?
If not, definitely need to be careful with your wording.

Nigel, who sees a lot of these Chinese cubers, has said before on Discord that Yiheng’s case is not exactly unique and has been done by other Chinese cubers before.

Yes, I feel like I saw something like that somewhere but I should be more careful with my wording and avoid making generalizations.

Just to add to what you have said, the comps Nigel goes to are Singapore and Malaysian comps. Which means that Singaporean and Malaysian delegates have approved these extras before in the past.

And I believe the same thing also happens for China delegates, because I saw an extra being granted for Yiheng in a cuberoot video for Chongqing Open 2023 (reason for that one is the judge lifted the cover when Yiheng was not ready). There was a comment from Patrick Ponce saying that the extra should not be granted if the extra was asked for after completing the solve and he asked for the reason which he got from cuberoot. There was a follow-up comment by someone saying that an extra can be granted up until the paper is signed.

I attended a comp called Singapore Mini 2023 (around September 2023), which Nigel did not go. I judged a rather high ranking pyraminx solver from Malaysia in one of the rounds. In one of his solves, I misjudged his expression and lifted the cover too early and that distracted him a lot and gave him a really bad time. He requested for an extra after completing his solve and the attempt was not signed during the request. He was given an extra for that attempt by our local delegate. So at least for the one example I gave (even though its humiliating for me to bring this up), this type of extra had not just been given to Chinese cubers.

If you told me before that 2x2 incident if asking for that extra was ok, I would have said yes. And I'm willing to bet that Nigel did not think much of that extra until it was brought up. I agree with the reasoning now, but its really unfortunate that we had to wait until then to address it.

I don't know why there wasn't a consensus on this particular rule for requesting an extra before. I recall that Yiheng wasn't given an extra for his last solve in Worlds 2023 finals because he requested it after he signed the attempt.

Here's my overall assessment of this:
The delegates from the countries I have mentioned have overall done a great job enforcing the WCA rules. It is just unfortunate that there wasn't a consensus on this particular rule on requesting extras and it should have been addressed back then.

Yes, I feel like I saw something like that somewhere but I should be more careful with my wording and avoid making generalizations.

Thanks, I appreciate that a lot. Also read the above FYI.

fast.

 

[abunickabhi]

Yiheng is just another level. I cannot understand how fast he is.

He can one look entire solves, and he is a toddler.
Imagine when he is your age
He will be able to do 5style easily
