2x2x2 WR average

[Dodges_Cuber 374]

Does anyone think It's possible to get a sub 1 average on 2x2x2.

In a few years maybe some Chinese cuber with insane TPS and very lucky scrambles. Idk how many people are practicing 2x2 actively.

I think it's big distinction if you mean ao5 WR or global average.
I think it's definitely possible that someone will get sub-1 ao5.

 

[Dodges_Cuber 374]

Yes But the question Is how long will It take And will It be acomplished with EG

Well given that some EG algs are extremely not optimal it would take quite a bit of luck to get the 10~ algorithms that are actually decent - 4 times in a row.

Also you would have to have reasonable first layer cases. So I doubt it’s gonna happen any time soon but maybe in 5 years

people do have sub 1 averages unofficially:

so it's just a matter of time and this stupid pandemic going away before WR average goes sub 1

I kinda meant officially lol

Zayn Khanani is sub-1 on 2x2, and has been doing really well in C@H 2x2 solves. Once comps resume in the states, we can expect Zayn to break the 2x2 record and hopefully get a sub-1 average as well.

Zayn isn't sub 1 lol. He averages 1 flat ig.

Zayn is a 2x2 god. If anyone's getting sub-1 average officially, it's him.

yep this is evidence that if enough top solvers go to enough comps then it will happen eventually

let me check my crystal ball...

What does it say?

it will take 2 years, 7 months, 22 days, 7hours and 13.87 seconds by a method neutral chinese solver (full eg + tcll, SS, ortega and guimond and a new method simply known as "2ZRNG")

and a new method known simply as... ZEROING

Zeroing is already a method.

I don't think this is true. If the first solution I check gives a bad EG case, I would definitely look at other solutions. This might involve a different way of making a layer/face that gives a better case or has a nice cancellation, or I try looking at a completely different color.

Fundamentally, I think that all 2x2 scrambles have sub-1 potential.

There are several people who are capable of getting sub-1 averages relatively frequently, so it would not be too surprising to see one officially in the not-too-distant future.

Zayn Khanani is sub-1 on 2x2

Zayn isn't sub 1 lol. He averages 1 flat ig.

I wish I averaged sub-1 globally, lol. Currently, I would say my global is somewhere around 1.2.

Oof, but looking forward to you getting a 0.8 WR average.

I thought this was a joke, but ... I looked at his YouTube channel. He is incredibly impressive.

Hey, welcome back!! Yes, Zayn is insanely fast.
