Whatever happened to Nakajima?

Yay memes

I dunno... he may have actually quit serious cubing... which explains the absence.


EDIT: Yay! 400 posts!

I think I will never be bored of cubing. Maybe because I don't cube as much as other cubers. I hope he will be back soon, since he is one of the best cubers.

That's the problem, it's not challenging for him anymore. He's so good, that it's just not fun. Perfection=Boredom (IMO)

looooool

loooooooooooooooooool

I'm surprised that no one has come up with theories like "He is probably secretly training and will win every event in his next comp."
Also, I distincly remember that when Erik last had the 3x3 avg WR, Nakajima personally commented something like "No offence, but it is not very good. I can beat WR for now." I'm not fully sure but this was probably when Erik got 11.11 avg.

Edit: Lucas, I did not mean any offence. Just that he is not in the top 3 anymore.

The word's 'offense.'

I don't remember Nakajima saying that but knowing me I'll probably search for it or something

I do remember (actually it's a fact ) him saying at one point that he wasn't practicing 3x3x3 as much, and that he might practice it more when his WR is broken.

off-topic: Aren't both offence and offense accepted in American English?

While it's not usually used in American English, it's certainly acceptable. Also, it's clearly acceptable in an online forum where a great deal of people of people speaking British English.

American English? I think we should re-classify what Americans call english as American, because half of the time it really isn't english.

Haha. I'm Canadian, so it's the way we spell it here.

EDIT: I'll also try to find the original thread where Nakajima said it.

First, congratulation Erik!! It's awesome

lol, i knew this would happen and Nakajima said he barely practices 3x3 anymore

lol he need to restart practice now:rolleyes:

Mmm...I don't restart practice of 3x3x3. Because I can beat WR for now. I know 11.11 is good, of cause. But not that good.(No offense Erik, it's a good record) Now, I need competitions, not practice ;-)

EDIT:

I want Nakajima to have the record back. If you agree with me, put this in your signature:

Please stop.

He was slightly arrogant, and humble in his post. Maybe at the time he was consistently sub 11, and thought, with enough opportunities, he could definitely do it.

And also, lolbyu.

??? American English is the generally accepted form of English in the United States. How is that unclear?

I was taking a jab at Americans having funny accents and saying funny words.

Oh, the humor (note the lack of an unnecessary "u") wasn't conveyed through text well.
