This is the first time I see anyone believing Sameer lol, I thought he was known to fake quite a few home solves, so I think we can safely assume he doesn't have a sub3.

There is no reason to not believe him.
Well, here's one reason (keep in mind, Sameer is a friend of mine): his reaction to a recent sub-4 solve he got is a lot more boisterous than you would expect from someone who previously got a 2.78.

I don't know if he faked the 2.78 or any other solves, but I do know a LOT of people think he did.

I mean the recon seems legit, and he has TPS that even exceeds the speed the solve was, but idk how good his lookahead is. Also I have big reactions to 8s and 9s and I have a 6.8 that was insanely lucky

Wasn't that the solve with a 2-move F2L into an H-perm or something?

The Hperm one was ridiculous
The dude misscrambled by one move and it resulted in a 4move F2L OLL skip and Hperm but he locked up so badly that he got a mid 3. His youtube is MyLifeAsRiley and he has the correct scramble as well as the misscramble
it was 2015ish so hardware was trash
