Lately, there are a lot of records of 2x2, especially average. Those are fast events and the only thing that matters are finding the best solution for tps spamming and the solves also somewhat depend on the luck of the scramble. So have we reached the limit of it yet? Are there any chances that we could have a sub 0.4 single officially or sub 0.2 unofficially, and also 0.6 average? 2x2 has been considered dead after those Chinese kids spamming their moves lol

I think Zayn has gotten a 0.24 unofficially but that was with sliding

2x2 isnt even close to the official human limit, it is very possible that one day we will see a 0.2 wr single or less and a 0.5 wr avg
Completely agree
I like to use the same philosophy from speedrunning and apply it to speedcubing
There is always time to be saved.
Whether it's a more optimal solution, better ergonomics, or simply faster tps. There will always be someone faster.

Exactly
For example, in the og Mario, we are so close to the fastest possible time but records for it are still being broken
 
I think the tas is like 1 framerule away because if something in 8-4
prolly some random backwards accel I forgor
nonono the TAS is perfect. The TAS by Maru clocks in at a 4:54.265, and is the theoretical perfect human speedrun. However, the TAS by HappyLee clocks in at 4:54.032 while using hacks and cheats to be able to press L and R at the same time on the D-pad, which is not possible by a human. In his recent WR, Niftski (goated speedrunner btw) achieved a time of 4:54.565, which is the first ever speedrun of the game to tie the human theoretical TAS (Maru's TAS) up until 8-4, where many more frame-perfect tricks can be included to get the record down (such as multiple fast accels and a faster turnaround room). In total, 18 more frames can be saved in 8-4, and because a perfect 8-4 IL (individual level) time has been done multiple times before, it is only a matter of time before we will see the absolute PERFECT speedrun.

EDIT: lmao I thought you said "the TAS is 1 framerule away from being perfect" 💀
 
I'm actually surprised we don't have a sub 0.4 single yet, as a PB single like 0.39 is perfectly normal for even solvers averaging 3 seconds. We definitely haven't hit the human limit.
friend averaged 10 and got a 0.69
I'm glad there's a move count requirement for 2x2 so world records aren't just random 2 movers
