[Unofficial] 8.69 avg12 with Roux, with 6.5 single (new fastest on vid :D)

IMO it is pretty harsh because as others have stated that the cubes at that time were not that good, 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

lol, not sure if serious. Let's look at the other events then. Faz was about exactly the same amount into his cubing career around June 30, 2009. 5BLD ALREADY has a 21 official OH average. Faz got a 23 OH official average a month later. 5BLD doesn't have any pyra solves yet, but Faz's official pyra average was 17 a month longer than 5BLD has been cubing. 5BLD has a 3.9 official 2x2 average. Faz got a 4.4 official 2x2 average a month longer than 5BLD has been cubing. Then if you want to do 3x3, it's 10.00 to 12.30 officially, when Faz was at it for a little more time. It seems like Faz has him on the big cubes. I'm not sure on their at home averages relative to each other though.

Give him some time.

epic cuber comparisons going on here...

Well, maybe this is not completely accurate in discussing Faz vs. 5BLD but...

lets simply say, faz sucks at roux ? i guess you cant compare really. ncie solves, btw.

He does pyra, I do feet, simple as
But yeah, he's a real all-rounder for sure, heh.

As for the comparisons, to protect myself from attack I won't share my full view on this. I am interested, just reluctant to start an argument. Not at all being competitive, just interested in the trends for faz and I who obviously as shown have fairly fast improvement rates- if you find any interesting stats do post or PM me

PS thanks as always for the compliments, makes me feel encouraged to do more

And yeah, becoming good at 3x3 has always been my top priority- now that I've got to some decent speed I'm beginning to look at other events, like feet which I rather like now using Roux, and of course OH which I'm getting faster at too:

Give him some time.

I can't believe you don't admit it's really me solving ...
