[iploman]

lol everyones using my pickup lines now . Pay me (in v-cubes) and I'll make more. Nice job Erik! The next time this is gonna be beaten will be an LL skip. Its true!

True. I think it would be impossible to beat this amazing solve without LL skip.
Erik did really great job, besides pll skip he did incredible fast F2L

Do you have the scramble for this truly AMAZING solve?

And for everyone that didn't like my camerawork: Sorry, but I think I did a pretty good job. 26 frames (about 1 second) before the start of this part I was videotaping 5 tables to the left, also zoomed in.

LOL I heard someone say "You beat the Nakajima!" after the solve.

Haha so true lol.

Thank you Arnaud for capturing this solve and for the scramble! I just asked for the scramble and got the solution too! That's service

When it comes to the WR, it's bouncing between Asian cubers and European cubers.

Not sure cubers is the right word.

Fine, cubists.

You never know - a fast F2L with a predicted OLL skip and a PLL with no AUF could get sub7 in the hands of the right person.

Yeah, no kidding. In north america, The canadians are KICKING OUR ASSES!
Alas, the prestigious sub-tenners are mostly european. Not one american... Dzoan was close, though

BTW, awesome solve Erik! You're one of the select few cubers with girlfriends

 

[masterofthebass]

Dzoan doesn't have the NR anymore...

 

[Alex DiTuro]

Sorry Mr. Baum...,

But Dan was like a hundreth of a second behind him, right?

 

[Kian]

congrats on the solve and, more importantly, congrats on the girl...haha

 

[Kyle™]

[Mr Cubism]

7.08, happy birthday! One years old last week!

Nobody has came close to it since then. Shall be interesting to see how old it will be.....I vote for at least one more year.



"...ooh, you opened an old thread bla bla bla, complain complain, studip, bla bla bla etc etc...."

 

[Faz]

Heh. Personally I don't see it ever being broken unless someone else gets a really nice solve and a PLL skip. (Or if someone fast gets an LL skip)

 

[*LukeMayn*]

I'd say... It is truly got to a point where it is... almost impossible to break.

 

[Kian]

I'd say... It is truly got to a point where it is... almost impossible to break.

It will certainly be broken someday. It will take a great solve and a skip, in all likelihood, but there are people that are able to beat it, and it will eventually happen. I bet it's broken within a year, honestly. Two years without a sub 7 solve from anyone at this point would seem unlikely to me.

Of course, that timetable could be very wrong. But never is a very long time.
