Wait, that Puget Sound comp was in September. That WR mean has since been taken by Feliks. Unless I'm missing something.

But Max's 7x7 average isn't even NR (same with single), but his 6x6 single and average is CR.

Also, Max never had WR2 in 7x7. You got very confused somehow!

For some reason, I thought he got 7x7 NARs. My bad.

Max Park and Seung Hyuk Nahm are having an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit right now. https://www.reddit.com/r/Cubers/comments/7lbbo0/max_park_and_seung_hyuk_nahm_ask_us_anything/

Feliks 6x6 PB ao12 on his spreadsheet say "not good". If my PB ao12 is barely sub-4, what does that say about me?

Well it should be better than 1:32, he basically got that at comp. (Begins with second solve at Lat-Am Lima, includes Lat-Am Chía, and London Open, ends with first solve of the WC final.)

I'm going to guess that it's probably between Kevin's 1:26 and Max's 1:29 (probably WR2 a.k.a. not good).

You're right: It was 1:28.70 last time it was in the spreadsheet. https://i.imgur.com/YkByjes.png

Woah! Maybe a sub-5 at comp?

I predicted it!! Haha!

Max Park with a 17.35 4x4 single, beating his former PB by .02. Also a 47.5 5x5 average of 1000.

Is that 4x4 single UWR?

Nope, it's 17.13 by Sebastian. Sebastian and Max actually got the first 2 sub 18s ever on the same day I believe. Here'st he post I made about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cubers/comments/6jujj7/4x4_is_getting_insane/

Kevin Hays seems to be the first very famous cuber to compete in 2018, this weekend in Vancouver. He will be doing all the big cubes he likes and he just uploaded a video saying that he intends to practice in 2018 as much as he did in 2017.

2018 could be an interesting year for 6x6 and 7x7 with Max having caught up with Kevin and Feliks and hopefully others joining the battle.

-------

Unofficially, the most remarkable of the last weeks seems to be Daniel Rose-Levine wiping out all 3x3 with feet UWRs. Also Kian Mansour improving his 3x3 OH avg100 UWR from 10.43 to 10.27 is impressive. Let's see if any of these unofficial records materialize into something official.

I just noticed that Feliks's new PB in multi-BLD put him first in Kinchranks.

I just noticed that Feliks's new PB in multi-BLD put him first in Kinchranks.

And he doesn't even have a feet score lol

I just noticed that Feliks's new PB in multi-BLD put him first in Kinchranks.

Then why doesnt he make a video about it.
Because it sucks?

Actually, kinchranks is different from WCA sum of ranks in that it only ranks you on the events you do. Please somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

The creator said that it does count the events that you don't do. You get a zero for it. Here's the link: https://www.speedsolving.com/forum/threads/all-round-rankings-kinchranks.53353/

Max Park just got a 5x5 41.74 average of 5 and 40.66 mean of 3, improving his PB by 1.5 seconds and 1.8 seconds respectively: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O28HJs3YR0gCXHYmjYd8Fcy34UmLrZ55WLDEjmHU3NA/edit#gid=0

His average of 5 is now 1.4 seconds faster than Feliks', and he now holds all of the UWRs in 5x5.

Because I already saw it first hand. XD He said it was a super safety attempt anyway.

Yeap. If Feliks just cared about it, he could be first in both Kinchranks and Sum of Ranks by a huge margin. Not only by doing the obvious such as feet or Skewb, but also I think he could improve a lot in BLD events as he obviously has an unexploited talent for it.
