anything about 5x5?

 

[amostay2004]

wow...fast!

 

[4Chan]

I am very impressed.

It seems as if more and more records are going to chinese cubers. o:
Less american records. D:

EDIT: I just saw rowe's record. Yayy for american records.

 

[jcuber]

I just realized how much of an improvement on Erik's average that was, and I am impressed!

Congratulations Han-Cyun! *Thinks to self: Must train harder now!*

Congratulations Han-Cyun! *Thinks to self: Must train harder now!*

I'm willing to bet if you put the amount of time in on real 4x4 than computer 4x4, you would get faster.

Try not touching hi-games for a few days and see where your times go

 

[Robert-Y]

@Anyone: Did he use a C4Y cube?

@fanwuq: Ok, I'll give up hi-games.net for a while unless someone manages to beat me! (Who knows, someone could get a LL skip on the 3x3x3 or someone could get easy centres + easy edges + PLL or even OLL skip + no parities on the 4x4x4)

 

[ManasijV]

Did he even realize that he had set the WR?

Did he even realize that he had set the WR?

He did, he is just humble :rolleyes:

 

[Kian]

wow. incredible average, congrats!

 

[Dene]

P, P, OP, OP, P
That's crazy stuff. I knew this was coming, my 4x4 avg is now 20s behind the WR :/

 

[Faz]

Dang, I thought I might have a good chance at this record. Not anymore it seems..........

Man, crazy humble. Anyone know what cube he used?

 

[amostay2004]

He'd have gotten the single WR too if there wasn't PLL parity...you can see his frustration after the 40s solve...

He's definitely in the same class as Erik at 4x4...

 

[qqwref]

That's amazing. I wish I could get 45ish solves and not care :O

 

[DavidWoner]

Yay! I was hoping he would get it, he was so close last time and he is so good! Shame about the parities and not getting single though, he missed it by a few tenths last time as well. Congrats Han-Cyun!

2006-10: Michael Fung is the first to ever do a sub 60 average. That record stands for almost a year
2007-09: Mátyás Kuti brings it down by 1 second
2008-02: Erik starts his streak that will eventually bring the record down by over 9 seconds to sub 48. With the exception of 1 month other people try to match his improvements but can't keep up untill
2009-05: Han-Cyun Chen goes sub 46.

Will this be another 1 month exception, or will Erik be the one that has to try and keep up while the record gets brought down more and more?

 

[Erik]

the story is to be continued... .after the commercials
sounded like something like that.
BTW, arnaud do you have a free day today too?

 

[aegius1r]

Man, crazy humble. Anyone know what cube he used?

It's an eastsheen. He doesn't like his c4y cube

 

[ccchips296]

ES FTW ahahhaaahhha

well....i cant imagine erik beating it by THAT much...but then again, who knows 8)

man we have to see a solve with no parities from him haha....his PLL parity is really really fast thou O_O
