Most Underrated Cubers?

[CharlieCooper]

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

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

Lol well it wasn't really me that proved you wrong, but sure I can win the next WC if you insist

Derrick Eide is the hardest working yet least rewarded cuber EVER...

Overrated: Dan Brown

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

+1

Dan Brow is so overrated. There are better tutorials on YouTube and he gets so much fame cause his was seen the most amount of times.

Oh and Justin Jaffray, he is underrated. He pwns so crazy in 2x2.

but without dan brown, alot of new speedsolvers wouldnt be here today. i learned from dan brown, and although it wasnt the best way to learn, It was a good start in my opinion

I am a Dan Brown student myself. I wish he had taught a better method though. The cross-over from the method he teaches to Fridrich isn't particulary easy.

Underrated: Kellon Olusala (i think i spelled his name wrong)

 

[IamWEB]

I learned from Dan too, and I crossed over to Fridich fine (at which point I found badmephisto), I'm sub-20 and improving.

A LOT of speedcubers started from Dan Brown.

 

[JTW2007]

Enough about Dan Brown. We agreed to only discuss underrated cubers.

LOL thread

Underrated? I'd have to say Austin Moore and Erik Johnson. Just because they don't use CFOP doesn't mean they're not good

Obviously talking about being overrated is silly, but there are definitely some cubers that I think get less attention then they deserve. Milan Baticz and Yumu Tabuchi are the first names that pop into my head for that.

I don't think anyone is overrated; it seems that everyone who people say is overrated is just someone who the poster personally doesn't have as positive an opinion of as the community does. Sure, there are people from youtube who receive a ton of attention and praise, but usually that is because they've helped out or befriended a ton of people. If their popularity wasn't deserved, why would they be popular in the first place?

All the cubers who know what they're talking about know how insanely fast Yumu Tabuchi and Tomasz Zolnowski are (among many others). While many noob cubers claim that Nakajima is currently the fastest in the world at just about every event.

As a side note, Yumu's 16.90 OH average at Worlds was the most ridiculous cubing feat I've ever witnessed.

 

[DavidWoner]

Milan Baticz and Yumu Tabuchi are the first names that pop into my head for that.

Milan is effing insane. He is world class at just about every puzzle and gets next to no recognition.

Yumu is crazy good too. I knew he was beast at 3x3, OH, BLD and 4x4 but who knew he was good at feet?

Piti Pichedpan is awesome too. He is beast at OH, hopefully he will become less underrated now that he did well at WC.

Isaac Wappes and Chris Ness are beast at 4x4 too.

Milan is really cool.

Yumu's a beast.

I talked to Sittinon (A Thai cuber who speaks perfect English) quite a bit, he's a really nice guy and he pwns at OH. Anyway, while I was cubing with Piti and Sittinon, Piti busted out a few nonlucky OH sub 15s and had no reaction whatsoever.

The three of them definitely deserve more recognition.

 

[JTW2007]

What about Ravi?

 

[King Koopa]

What about Ravi?

I think he is underrated, but that's probably because he doesn't compete that much. Austin Moore is too. He pwns with roux...

Pretty much Missouri cubers pwn

 

[edd5190]

Underrated:

John Tamanas got sub-10 average.

Piti Pichedpan is super good at OH.

Durben Virtucio is fast at 3x3, really good at 4x4, and he's young (turning 13 in November, I believe).

They all deserve more attention, but don't get much. Of course, there are a lot of underrated people, I just couldn't think of any.

Wait, there's this one kid, ehm... Justin... Ad.. Adsarua? Sorry if I misspelled your name, Justin. He's done pretty well at 3x3 and okay at BLD in competition. Yeah, he's kinda underrated too. I hear he's getting even faster at home though, so you better watch out.

Is it Justin Adsuara?

And he's only been cubing since February 08. Which is insane.

Really? Really?
