So this is extremely controversial because he averages 8, but he got a 21move solve with a bunch of free pairs and an LL skip. I asked him some questions, but it wasn't on cam, and he retried it on cam and got a 1.83. The recon is on his story, but both of us think that it is that stupid that it shouldn't count as his PB or UWR (of course no video evidence so it wouldn't have been uwr anyway). This is rly controversial but I personally think that a time that good would be possible, but im not sure about the first time you try it. (tps is rly high)
What part of the solve did you plan in inspection

I planned the first three pairs

Did you predict LL skip at last pair?

Skip at last pair

What was the initial time

2.64

Stackmat or keyboard

Yuxin timer

Ok

What was the reaction? Shock or disbelief



I initially thought wtf the I was like WTF then I yelled WTF!!! then I realised that people won’t believe me when I tell them that I got a 2 bc my previous Pb was. 4.89 and also I did the solve oh after and got a 3.97


What cube was used

Wrm with mf3rs springs and set up with weight four dnm and mystic

Did you think it would be PB after you got the scramble?

Yep bc I could see first three pairs with I had only done once and that was my previous Pb

Ok

What is your global avg

Sub 8.5



Please don't see this thread and immediately send him hate or things saying it is fake, I have seen him get 8-10 TPS before in comp
 
For everyone accusing this solve as fake(and any fast solve for that matter), I have a question to ask you: If Feliks Zemdegs had made this post, saying he got a 2.64 on a 21 move solve, planned 3 pairs, did a recon, etc.; would you accuse him of being fake or would you be really congratulatory and happy and ecstatic?

What I'm trying to say is that we don't have any evidence that he faked it, and we should believe him unless proof appears disproving him. Just because it's not Feliks or Max doesn't mean it has to be fake. People are reacting the same way they did to Yusheng's record: "Not feliks or max? FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

While I generally agree with giving people the benefit of the doubt, fake solves are common. People would believe Feliks or Max could get that amazing of a solve because a) they've proven they're incredibly skilled, and b) they've been around for long enough to have established trust with the community.
This solve could very well be real, but it's reasonable to be skeptical due to how many fake solves there are by relatively unknown people. I do agree, however, that we cannot say for sure that it's fake.
 
The scramble is 4-gen with the only F and B moves F2 and B2, which preserves EO. The scramble was possibly generated elsewhere. Also, if he had retried it on cam, why would he need to reinspect? It seems (not definite) like he wanted to retry the solve ON CAM and post it online. He had a Yuxin Timer (2 actually) but he didn't use it when retrying (possibly trying to make the time faster)

I know him in person and I felt like he was faking solves for a while. I wasn't sure and I thought maybe he was improving but he (possibly) faked a sub 3 (sub 2 on cam) so yeah. Ummm

I agree. It seems fake, but we shouldn't automatically write this off as fake. I think most likely, he found an easy scramble on youtube and got this time using a scramble he found ot be easy. saying this, he isn't counting this as a PB or uwr, just a stupid solve
 
reply i posted on facbook under a comment asking if OP was gonna count a dumb squan solve as pb. so if this kid isnt counting this as uwr, we have our answer
