who do you think is the most overrated/underrated cuber??

Overrated:
memyselfandpi - he is good. yes. but some people are starting it "idolize" him, which i think is a bit too much. also, his voice tickles my ears a little

Underrated:
Pogobat - almost everryone in the cubing community hated him because of his slow method and lubing cubes with vaseline. but i think he did taught a lot of people how to solve it, and and it clear to learn too! otherwise he wouldn't be on the frontpage or wikipedia. his vlog videos are also pretty good too.

That pretty much answer's it for me

overratted
for a while it was memyselfandpi and monkeydude1313, but eh

yu nakaji is overrated, but i bet it will die down in a while, just like it did with erik.

petsvic for a while
pogobat
robh0629
lancetheblueknight (sorry, i dont any of these peoples real names)

Underrated until this weekend, Breandan.

I got annoyed when somebody said he wouldn't win WC without possibly being able to predict that, which just goes to show what that person knew

Not only is Breandan an amazing cuber but he is in no way braggy about his times, nor does he make outrageous claims about his ability. He is a super awesome nice guy and totally deserved to win. Of course we also live in the same country, which makes him extra good

Also, I wouldn't say Pogobat is under-rated. Have you seen half of the comments on his videos? He could be a god to some of these people. Under-rated by Speedcubers, but incredibly over-rated by the rest of the world.

+1 for everything in this post!
Breandan is probably the nicest guy on the planet, as well as being (one of) the fastest.

Overrated:
Definitely Yu Nakajima. I think that the fact that he actually become famous ina relatively "short" time period; made him look god-like to many speedcubers out there. I'm not saying he is or was bad, only that he was overrated.

 

[4Chan]

Under Rated:
John Tamanas.

Over Rated:
Too many to list. D: D: D:
Mostly youtube people with lots of little kid subscribers.

 

[JTW2007]

Underrated: Dan Knights. He's a super cool guy, and I find that a lot of new cubers have no idea who he is.

Usually I just ignore this kind of divisive threads, but this time I won't. Please don't call out nice people that have done so much for cubing, it's not cool at all.

 

[brunson]

Overrated: Dan Brown

Seriously.

The DaVinci Code was a terrible, terrible book, but Angels and Demons made it read like Shakespeare. I can't believe all the hype about his new formulaic piece of literary trash, I won't be reading it.

P.S. This thread is pathetic and infantile.

Agreed. I think this thread should be removed altogether.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

I've always thought Dan was underrated because of the bad technique for speed and the not-so-helpful lubing video, but at he has still done a lot for the cubing community!

I don't think Yu Nakajima is overrated. That 'support nakajima club' was started by one person randomly, and I don't think anyone else ever actually joined that thing. Plus, Yu himself asked for that not to happen.
I think he was a very fast cuber with very fast improvement, and speed ahead of his time. He and other fellow Japanese cubers made large contributions with the cutex videos and website. I guess some people do however think he's better at certain things than he really is.


I'm not gonna say who I think is overrated for two reasons. I don't often think about people like that, and you should have enough respect for them to keep these discussions private if you really feel the urge to talk about them this way. Although it would be better to not say this stuff at all.

Underrated: Me
Joking, joking...

 

[CharlieCooper]

As for overrated, I don't wish to comment, it's not nice to start slating people really and this thread just asked for it. Maybe we can just talk about underrated cubers?

 

[JTW2007]

Maybe we can just talk about underrated cubers?

That would certainly be a lot less tedious.

Thanks for proving me wrong Charlie. I'm happy for Breandan, and he totally deserved it.
