Favorite part of cubing history?

[kirtpro]

Simple question, what's your favorite thing that's happened in cubing?
e.g.
DIY Kits being produced
Creation of CFOP/Roux/another method
A certain competition
Feliks getting a heap of records
A certain time barrier being broken
etc.

For me it would be the time when the Guhong was first taking over as plenty of people's main cube

 

[Noahaha]

That time when like 10 BLD WRs were broken In like 5 weeks.

This guy called Kirt getting his sub 10 at worlds.

The 5x5x5 final at worlds last year. I saw it on live stream. Just awesome!

And the only ever danish 3x3x3 world record, set by Jess Bonde. Which in denmark is simply refered to as Epic ...

Maybe that weekend when Feliks and Rowe both beat the Long standing 7.08 WR. Then the subsequent weeks/months when Feliks kept knocking it down further.

All the above would not have happened if the cube had not been invented:
Thus: the invention of the cube

My first ever sub 20 time 19.99 seconds, a very nice feeling to get a solve under 20 seconds.

I haven't been on the cubing scene for very long (~15 months) so there's not really much I can say beside I loved the 5x5 Worlds final, but especially Mats breaking sub-30 on 4x4, and the recent explosion of BLD WRs. GO Marcell!

7.08 and the breaking of 7.08

 

[jla]

5x5 finals at worlds last year

lol When was that?

And to answer the question, I'd definitely say WC 2011 5x5 finals and also Faz getting 4BLD WR last year. Nobody expected that

 

[Dacuba]

7.08 not only being broken, but also being destroyed

 

[Godmil]

lol When was that?

I think he's meaning now.

 

[TiLiMayor]

2nd round of 4x4 in worlds last year, when both Feliks and Contardi broke the WR avg..

 

[Bapao]

The GuHong.

 

[rubiksarlen]

I think he's meaning now.

If that's so than he is definitely exaggerating - by a lot. To be specific, only 4 were broken if you count since Marcell's 5bld 7:59.

Erik's 7.08 probably. That's what motivated me to start seriously practicing. I remember I used to think that all the fast solvers saw God's algorithm and that's how they solved so fast lol.
