[Official] Feliks Zemdegs DNF 3x3x3 single (5.33 with corner twist)

[DeeDubb]

Get your tin foil hats on, conspiracy theory time! The corner twist design flaw was intentional to prevent them paying money for the WR solve. #MindBlown

 

[RayLam]

everyone on chinese forum is complaining about this cube to the boss of moyu and feliks will break wr sooner or later

 

[teller]

Feliks, a 5.33 isn't a fluke for you, so I know you'll beat it sooner rather than later. But I have noticed that these modern cubes do this...the Shengshou Aurora, which I use, is notorious for it...they've cured pops but now we have twists. Hmph!

Poor him. He'll get it sooner or later. However, it would be nice to see Alex Lau and the Roux method be at the top.

Although it could happen, as he's definitely capable, he doesn't really practice anymore so it's kinda unlikely.

Ouch. Great reaction, He didn't even upend the table.

I think corner twists may be the last hurdle for designers. But there may always be something for people to complain about lol. Although, I think Feliks is more than justified in this case.

I don't think index fingers would have been my first choice to point at the unsolved cube.

I know!

Hehe

He only won the competition by .04s. This could have cost him his winning streak.

 

[ajayd]

I just looked at his WCA profile… he's gotten first place in 4 x 4 at every competition he's EVER BEEN TO. And he got first at 3 x 3 every time but Worlds 2011. Feliks, you don't appear to be human.

 

[newtonbase]

I knew that about his 3x3 but not his 4x4. That's ridiculous.

 

[Cubeologist]

I agree, that is amazing. And he says that he is getting better. Scary.

I've noticed that before. It was absolutely insane the first time I saw it.

In addition to this..
- First in every comp for 5x5 minus worlds 2013
- First in every comp for OH minus worlds 2011
- First in every comp for 6x6 minus worlds 2013

The Oceanic region (or Australian as it was called) was really weak. Sure he got WR at 2nd comp in 3x3 which is impressive, but he only needed a 14 average to win that comp.

He's only been to a COUPLE of comps with world class cubers. Giovanni got a 33 4x4 average at a Melbourne comp (less than a second slower than Feliks at that comp), but apart from World's and Thai open, he's had no real 3x3 4x4 5x5 OH competition. His only real chances to not win have been OH at Thai comp once, 4x4 at a Melbourne comp once, 3x3 at a Melbourne comp once (this comp) and WC2011/2013

His ridiculous amount of WRs is far more impressive than his first places.

He's going down at US Nats (not me specifically)

R U trying to steal Feliks's credit or something? Just cuze there isn't anyone (nearly as fast) as Feliks?
