Your RU' or R'U x63 best time?

How long is your RU' or R'U x63?


  • Total voters
    69
Yes, of course my perception of how fast he was may have changed toward the exaggerated since I: 1) Have not witnessed him do the trigger in person for 6 years, and 2) Never timed him at the time when he did execute the trigger.
Not at all because cubing has improved a lot since then and because most of what was amazing then is boring now?

I do remember the sound of his cube, as accurately as auditory memory is over time, when he executed the turns though, and it was a pace that was definitely faster than Ryan's pace in the video.
Which is not unheard of. Here's 11.19 seconds:

That's only 1.28 times as fast as Ryan, though, not nearly twice as fast. How do you feel about this one? Still think David was nearly 1.56 times that speed if not more?

Stefan, I made an edit to my previous post when I probably should have double posted. Check the bottom of the post for a stab at a more quantifiable analysis.

19.48

Best I could find on YouTube was Brendan Vallance's 10.81

He turns insanely fast!!

Yeah, I would've missed that had you not mentioned it now. And yes, 10.5 is much more reasonable. I'm not convinced he could do that, but then again don't care. I was just bothered by the "nearly twice as fast" as I don't believe that (and you know how much I love myths). Thanks for the added analysis.
 
I've had some runs between 10 and 10.5, but I can get 11-12 very consistently. Never quite got the sub 10, but maybe with a bit of practice and a good cube. Don't have any super fast videos, but I could make one sometime. People at nationals this summer saw me do it, though. I've also gone through the cycle two times in a row in nearly 20 seconds flat.
 
I voted sub 10 because I have done it sub 10 before like twice. I average 12-13.
:eek: That's insane!

Is it?!

Olivér just interrogated me about it so apparently yes.

No lock ups etc with a good cube and good precision it's not that hard. I have practised of course! I'll practise again and make a video perhaps.
