Who do you think the most successful speedcuber is?

[rubiknewbie]

What is Badmephisto's real name?

In terms of contribution to speedcubing, most successful will be people who promote the sport like Tyson Mao, Ron van Bruchem etc, people who come out with techinques like Jessica Fridrich, Lars Petrus etc and people who help others become better like Badmephisto, Bob Burton, Dan Harris etc.

In terms of skill in speedsolving, I heard a lot about people like Yu Nakajima, Erik Akkersdijk, Breandan Vallance, Harris Chan, Dan Cohen, Feliks Zemdegs, to name a few.

Faz. He's been cubing less than 2 years, and pwns everyone else.
This was sarcasm.
On a serious note, Jessica Fridrich, Badmephisto, and Gilles Roux.

EDIT: I think everyone is forgetting Tomasz.

 

[esquimalt1]

Yu Nakajima

 

[lilkdub503]

What is success? Philosophical question there. Dictionary definition would probably be some cuber who got a bunch of PB's in comp. Most accomplished would probably be Dan Cohen, for most world records. Tomasz has blown up, but only on 3x3.

 

[Chuck]

What is Badmephisto's real name?

Andrej Karpathy.

 

[Lars Petrus]

Gotta agree with Kian. Will Smith is the most successful speed cuber.

Most successful ever: Erik, Dan, Yu

Best 3x3 cuber: Erik

History award: All those who actually or tried to solve a 3x3 cube in the early 1980's. They, despite how well they solved a cube or not, brought and used the cubes in the millions, made the puzzle toy what it is, and made sure there would be a lasting revival a long time later.

Zolnowski? His nickname is Zaba. Also he has not been around long enough to have developed cross on left, since Fridrich does this herself.

I'm sorry but both of those people are barely any help to the cubing society. I believe that they are not as cool as many people (n00bs) think they are. i'm sure that someone else would of done what they have and not been "annoying" like them. Again, this is just my opinion. Please don't quote me and say i'm wrong because i cant be wrong about myself.

EDIT: i forgot my choice. i choose Lance Taylor and Tristan Wright.
