Who is your bet to win on the 3x3x3 single solve category in the world championships? I'm betting on Shotaro "macky" Makisumi. If he is going to the competition. If not, then maybe Harris Chan will do.
Yu Nakajima...or one of the french guys...or one of the US guys that gets lucky. For the same solution (same moves to solve the cube), Yu does it incredibly fast (his LL is his advantage). Macky might get like 10s, but for the same solve (since both macky and yu are using Jap colour scheme) Yu can probably do sub 10 o.O
These days I don't get "extreme" fast solves...just fast solves That's why I like averages better...
