You forgot Bill. I personally think he's an underrated cuber who doesn't live up to his full potential in comps.

I don’t there there is a best you could argue that SeungBeom Cho is “the fastest” Cuber, as nobody has a faster time. It would be fun to statistically show (official single average and unofficial as well) who’s the best. You would have to come up with a ranking of how much ‘worth’ the different times mean.

Seung Beom Cho still wouldn't be the "fastest" as he averages sub-9 in comp. He just as the fastest official single time(lol it was 29 moves). Needless to say, no one can argue that FAZ isn't the fastest as he averages the best officially and unofficially

If you take the average of our 2017 official averages (a better measure), I'd bet that Max is a bit faster.Seung Beom Cho still wouldn't be the "fastest" as he averages sub-9 in comp.

Wow! What a humble thing to say. I just gained a lot of more respect to Feliks! I still think overall Faz is faster, for now.

At home, you are faster. In comp, max is. (you do dominate with WRs tho)

Actually, you're faster, but not by much. The mean of Max's official averages in 2017 is 6.95, while the mean of your official averages is 6.92. Interestingly, this gap widens if you look at the median instead of the mean, with Max's being 6.94 and yours being 6.87. So I think it's safe to say that Max has been more consistent than you this year, if you don't want to be proven wrong about not being better than everyone else.
His average for the whole 2017 is not better than yours, but as I wrote a couple weeks ago:
I consider the average of 10 avg5 to be a good metric of recent performance of a cuber without being too dependent on luck.

heh, good point. His consistency is AMAZING. It's maybe because you taught him zeroing.
