5BLD
Legend
Insane. I'd also like to know BigGreen's PBs. You solved your first cube in 2011, amirite? Any idea on the exact date?
Feb ish. I'm not sure of the exact date, sorry.

I'm reluctant to say it because I don't won't to seem like I'm putting too high an expectation/pressure on 5BLD. But I take it it's only him and Faz who have achieved this level of speed cubing in this sort of time scale?
5BLD destroys Faz though. Just about the same exact amount of time after solving his first cube as 5BLD, Faz posted an 11.42 avg5 and said he got an 11.98 avg100 a few days ago. 7 months after this, he posted an 8.80 avg12, which is still slower. Then posted the 8.45 avg12 after cubing for 13 months longer than 5BLD.

Not an entirely fair comparison though. Cubes still sucked during Faz's early stages.

Yes, A5 was the first decent cube that came out. Faz has already been cubing longer at that time compared to 5BLD now though (not entirely sure and lazy to check, but I think so =P), or at least close to it.U no respect A5
That's not true. There are so many periods where a new awesome cube hits the market and WRs start dropping frequently (think GuHong, Dayan 4x4, SS 4x4, SS 5x5)IIRC, 5bld was using a crappy storebought for quite a while and cube quality hardly affects a person's progression speed.

I didn't say it was unfair, I say it isn't entirely fair =POf course you'll get better time with better cubes. But considering what factors affect how fast a person progress (determination, time spent, innate ability, practicing technique etc.. w/e.. ) the cube you use to practice hardly affects how fast you learn or become faster or not enough to warrant a comparison unfair for solely that reason.

Then posted the 8.45 avg12 after cubing for 13 months longer than 5BLD.
...whereas 5bld is only good at 3x3.
another factor which every seems to be missing is that Faz is good at almost every event (which requires a lot of practice) whereas 5bld is only good at 3x3.
OT: congratulations Alex you are truly amazing![]()
