Erik Akkersdijk - The Megaminx

[EmersonHerrmann]

While, I've been looking at these records for a long time and since then, many new cubers have popped up that have been good at different things. Like Kazuhito Iimura, who did a Sq-1 sub-15 average of 10, and Tomy (yes I know he's been here for a while, but he hasn't been cubing for years [I think]) who is really good at OH, and Yu, who has come and conquered many different events.

Back to the thing about the records, the records are Erik Akkersdijk's Megaminx. Now I know that Erik broke his own record this year, but no one has beaten Erik at Megaminx yet. Does anyone think someone will pop up and take the Megaminx record from Mr. Akkersdijk?

 

[blah]

I'm placing my money on Stefan And also Japan. They seem to have one specialist in every event. I bet they even have the world's fastest Skewb solver or something.

By the way, you spelled Erik's last name wrongly, twice.

But he got it right in the title xD
Anyway. I keep hearing about a handful of certain solvers who have beaten Erik's WR average at home. But, so far it seems all talk. I think at the moment, Erik is more likely to break his own record again. But its only a matter of time before a competitor comes along, I think. Just not right now.

Nakaji recently got his hands on Mefferts megaminx. watch out.

Sorry I wasn't paying attention to my typing, thanks for the correction I also put my money on Japan, let's hope that some other country keeps at least one even away from them.

To everyone: One day a new cuber will come along that dominates all, and I'm not talking sub-45 on 4x4 and sub-10 on 3x3, i'm talking sub-7 on 3x3 and sub-1 on 5x5. If that happens, every country should have a multiple cubers specialized in each individual event. (Sounds like I'm preparing for the end of the friggin world xD)

 

[hawkmp4]

Yes, because a new megaminx will cause his times to go down nearly 15% magically.

I dont think theres anything better than my PVC minx. i've tried a mefferts and it's like the same + tiles [and they dont even have those now ]

i believe that they've beaten Erik's WR, but Erik has also beaten his own WR at home. in case youve never noticed, Erik doesnt like posting his UWR's or bragging about his PB's. I dont even know if he is practicing megaminx anymore, since his other WR's are the ones in danger. if someone comes close to his record or even breaks it, he will train for minx and take it back.

I have heard that Tomy is very good at megaminx.

have you tried a properly modded meffert's minx?

 

[hawkmp4]

PVC?
PVC = chinaminx?
Or what? As far as I know there's Chinaminx's and Mefferts...but obviously, I could be wrong.

 

[DavidWoner]

PVC?
PVC = chinaminx?

no, its something new:

it also appears that mefferts has come out with a stickered minx

 

[Hadley4000]

The PVC minx actually is pretty good.

Nakajima said that he will start practicing a lot. With as fast as he improves, I wouldn't be surprised if he started to get right up there.


Someone said Stefan. No offense to Stefan. But I really don;t see him dropping 20 seconds.

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

I don't think Drew's minx could help Erik get down to 50 seconds, but somewhere very close to sub-1.

 

[Cerberus]

I don't think stefan is training megaminx either, but I also think that if he would put much train in megaminx he would be able to cut off 10 15 seconds or more and come closer to erik, I don't know if he could actual beat him but come pretty close should be possible
Also: his average is "just" 16 seconds beyond erik

 

[Stefan]

Someone said Stefan. No offense to Stefan. But I really don;t see him dropping 20 seconds.

Yeah, me neither. Lack of time, motivation and maybe "talent".

Oh and the guy suggesting Drew's megaminx is so much better should stop being stupid.

 

[Laetitia]

Does anyone think someone will pop up and take the Megaminx record from Mr. Akkersdijk?

Yes, I think.
But I am not really objective...

 

[Leviticus]

I used to speed-minx but i stopped. I was at about a 2.10-2.30 average and a couple sub 2 solves. I will start again soon. I think nakaji will get close. I say 1.30 in the next month.

 

[Cerberus]

right now he is just looking if his method is good and does 3:40 slow solving, so maybe like 2:30 fast turning I think, he still looks a lot in the F2L and extention as I would call it ^^

Their best FMC solver isn't that great yet.

Which AsR is going to be broken at VA?
Hopefully sub-30?

Who's good enough to do sub-30?
