Cubing Videos: Real or Fake

[Deleted member 55877]

Now i hate to say this but it's physically impossible to get a 25 TPS T perm with that many lockups. Not only that, but Cube for speed "plsed" HKQ8's execution that HKQ8 specifically was telling people not to use.

This is what happened in the middle of his T perm exec, clearly showing the huge lockup

what is more suspicious to me is that at the final execution the camera shakes a lot and focuses and unfocuses extremely quickly which is indicative of sped up footage.
anyone found this guy's wca profile yet?

According to his instagram username his name is "Lee Ming Kit" however when i look that up an WCA no results pop up. So either "Lee Ming Kit" is a fake name or he's never competed.

I also searched up his name a month ago, and it seems like a real name, hearing what his accent is. (Either Maylan or Thai, can't pinpoint)

Is that Cube For speed's earnings?

Those numbers are notoriously unreliable so I wouldn't put any value in them. I've known much bigger channels that only have made a few dollars.

oh yeah I saw the instagram name too. I have to give him the benefit of the doubt because if the name does not sound Chinese and China and Australia are the only places that have had comps in the past year.

yes

 

[duckyisepic]

yes

that's oddly a huge amount of money

True, the numbers seem too good to be true

that's such a wide range though. Like saying "6 figure income"

You get paid differently by youtube depending on where you live. Maybe since he lives where he does, he earns more than usual?

This also looks sus. I think its sped up:

EDIT: Yes, it IS a joke

Obviously, it's impossible to get a 3 minute solve in less than 1 minute (the duration of the video). That video is just a timelapse.

That's a joke right? Hard to tell with posts nowadays

 

[VN is cool]

Is VN cubing just some fake scramble? Why im i dissapointed about my country cubing

 

[Mike Hughey]

It looks to me like the scramble is R U' R' y' R U' R' y' R U' R' y' R U' R', and the solve is simply the reverse of that.

I wouldn't worry about your country specifically; this sort of thing happens from all countries, unfortunately.

 

[SH03L4C3]

yeah, looks fake
There is a thread dedicated for fake looking videos:

Cubing Videos: Real or Fake

This is for any cubing videos we see online if it looks sketchy, we can discuss it here, and come to a conclusion on whether it is real or fake This solve looked sketchy to me. Is it fake? he solves it BLD in 17 seconds

This is a suspicion I've been having for a while, but I never brought it up. It regards Cube for Speed's channel and his videos.

His alg/solve videos seem sped up to me, because he moves very choppily, yet is still fast. The speedstacks timer could possibly be hacked to run slower. Here is an example of one of his videos that I suspect is sped up.

The claps at the end clearly gave it away lol
