I can't watch it due to dial up, but sounds amazing!

indeed it is
The only thing I do not get is the 88 counter (besides that 8 is similar to luck in Chinese, I do not see any other explaination..)

It only took him 31s to actually solve! Thats crazy! His reaction at the end was funny aswell!

Maybe it's a comparison to Leyan Lo's 88 second BLD?

 

[pjk]

Yeah, that is the countdown of the WR. If he beats it, he beats the WR

 

[joey]

Matyas Kuti, holds the WR. At 80s.

 

[pjk]

Oh yeah, my bad, that's right. anyway, I think the 88 was directed at the old WR. What else would 88 represent?

 

[ExoCorsair]

Well, we don't know when the video was taken, right?

So by all means, Matyas may not have held the WR at the time of this clip.

That's actually 54 seconds...the counter is at 34 when he puts the cube down. Very impressive...now he just has to do it in a competition
