Will anyone break current record for 3x3 besides Feliks himself?

[antoineccantin]

not to brag or anything, but maybe me? i average sub-30 and i am not even 13.

A month ago, I was sub-15 and under 13.

Only time can tell...

 

[Vinny]

Yeah I don't understand why everyone is saying Yu Nakajima. I'm not sure if he has ever sub 6'ed, and his 6.54 was a PLL skip, whereas Faz's 5.66 was full step

Hasn't this topic already come up in cubecast? "Maybe if Feliks gets a girl friend"

Maybe he already has a girlfriend...

 

[Dacuba]

I really wonder, why Nakajima is named, but the 7.08 man isn't mentioned a single time?
Well I think neither of them will break any 2H 3x3 WR any more, but why isn't Erik mentioned?

 

[spdcbr]

Maybe he already has a girlfriend...

....well thom said the second option was "Maybe if Feliks gets a job."

 

[TiLiMayor]

nobody that is already famous. There are alot of people starting cubing young now, and it will be whoever starts the youngest and sticks with it the longest.

This, Im already training my brother, he's doing the 10k monthly solves..

Do you honestly believe that how early you start changes how high a chance you'll have of breaking the WR? >_>

....well thom said the second option was "Maybe if Feliks gets a job."

And what if he had a girlfriend or a job? What if he quits cubing?
The 5.66 is still standing and really hard to beat...

Btw why do most of you guys think it is easy for him to beat the WR? It was non lucky, but really lucky(pros may know what I mean). His last few averages were around 8 seconds, doens't really seem to have good times often( < 6 ).

I lol'd.

Blake Thompson

That boy is proven to possess magic.

 

[mrCage]

Easy x-cross pluss OLL-skip might be enough. Matter of time ...

[bamilan]

I lol'd.

OK. Just forget about the record. How would you describe a solve, which has 2 moves cross, 4 4moves c/e pair, sune OLL and H PLL? That's non lucky, but really lucky
Especially when your lookahead is insane, and there is no pause in your execution.

Since the discussion of age has started, i would say a person of any age obviously has equal chances. But starting early has advantages, as in those who start early have enough time from other things in their lives. Some people start too late, they have to study side by side a lot, or go for work. They improve, but they cant practice day and night. While at the same time, if someone starts early(dont read in womb), works hard for around 2 years, he is almost certain to be sub 15. There is a guy in my country, i think 9 year old approximately, http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2010RANI01
In 1 or 1.5 year , he has come here. he is quite certain to get a NR in the coming years with the consistent improvement he is showing
this guy, http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2006ORLA01 , he is officially participating in competitions since he is around 10 years old(the age when he set continental records).
So Blake Thompson getting a 12-13 second at age of 11-12 is perfectly normal.
Rubiks cube is a very simple device, at least with regards to CFOP. Even a 4-5 year old can understand CFOP if explained properly(not all of them can understand , but quite a number, precisely those who love mind games from early ages or are really willing to learn). After that, its all about performing algs and fast recognition. A person of any age can certainly get any time. I agree come people have some problems, but, any person with practice can become sub10 (+a good cube)

About the thread, yes the record will certainly be broken one day, Gabriel Dechichi has a nice chance if he attends competitions (i hope u saw his videos) apart from many other cubers. If Faz can get 5.66. Some other species on earth can also and will get one day. (i bet 100 dollars that there will be a sub5 before i die)

 

[Reinier Schippers]

I Hope you will not die in the coming 2 years The WR has been going doing since November 2010 again by 1,5 sec
EDIT:Fail QUOTE?

Easy.

 

[Stuart]

Well Anthony Brooks might beat the WR with even more practice because he was skilled and lucky enough to get a sub 5 which was awesome!!!! lol

He would need to practice ALOT but even then, he said that solve was extremely lucky

 

[MTGjumper]

Some other species on earth can also and will get one day.

I bet it'll be a dolphin. I mean, they might muck about in the water having a good time, but they are the second-most intelligent species on Earth.protip: we're third
