I have always wondered what is the best way to tell who's the best of all time in each event. For example Erik's 7.08 was way more impressive and crucial few years ago than ~5.5s solve nowadays. The same goes for every event. I developed two methods. You can consider first one a little bit silly, because it has few defects, but its purpose is to support the second one if the results are unclear.
In my opinion the last WR of the year in every event have the biggest value. World Records that stand for very short period of time are quickly forgotten. Feliks did 5 WRs in 5x5 single in a row. And suddenly Yu Nakajima and Kristopher De Asis took it from him. But actually what was the difference? He get them back in like 1 or 2 months. In the end he won the battle for the WR of the year 2012 in 5x5.
You can see the list of such a world records in the link below. There is a year, the time, the name of the competitor and the improvement of the last year WR (in %). The number in "( )" means how many years the competitor had the WR of the year. http://www.kostkarubika.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=9910&p=87258#p87258
The second method is to simply count how many days in total somebody held all his world records in each event. You can see that number in the left "( )" in the link above. It actually works pretty fine. All the fundamental and crucial world records are often the world records of the year.
The results for the best speedcubers of all time are:
curiosity: Feliks hold all his WRs for 15 602 days (32 years) in total. That kinda make him the master of the speedcubing. But we all know that
