[Poll] Who is the greatest speedcuber of all time?

[Zhanchi1]

I havent found any poll ones so here is one.
Closes on april 16

 

[emolover]

Dan Brown.

 

[Escher]

Where is Erik Akkersdijk?

I don't feel the need to list his accomplishments.

yeah seriously, no Erik? Not even a poll without him.

 

[Owen]

There's a difference between greatness and speed, you know.

My vote is for Matyas Kuti. I think he is the greatest because he had/has great cubing ethic, held many WRs, was the best at BLD, and if he was cubing today, he could easily get all the BLD WRs again.

But seriously, it's between Feliks and founders like Ron and Tyson.

 

[Robocopter87]

How could you ask that? Who can possibly say that one cuber is better than another? That's like asking who the best man in the world is. You can't do it.

What these cubers have accomplished is phenomenal and to attempt to put them on a ladder of "greatness" is just wrong.

 

[cubernya]

This is for speed, not greatness.

Spoiler

BREST IS BEST

 

[TheMachanga]

I know there are different generations, but I think I'll go with Feliks.

-Huga milestone in the community (Official sub 10 average)
-Most world records ever held
-Lots of articles on him outside the cubing world
-Is responsible for the rise of a the speedcubing community in Oceania

Behind that, I'll go with Macky and Yu Nakajima.

 

[Dene]

I voted Feliks, but Erik is a very close second.

 

[insane569]

It's obviously stefan.

 

[RNewms27]

qqwref. Magical with big-cubes and strong sense of experience. Also for the programs and coding he contributed.

Mike Hughey. Incredible BLD. I am waiting for his first 8x8 success so I can sincerely congratulate him and ask when his 2-8 relay will be done.

 

[Sillas]

At all who are there, if you mean greatest contribution to Speedcubing. In my view, is Stefan Pochmann, by creation of the M2/R2 and Classic Pochmann Methods.

 

[Divineskulls]

I voted Rowe. I have a feeling he's gonna get a hell of a lot faster in the next few months. And that's saying a lot, since he's already so fazt. x.x Also, I've actually met Rowe. xD My second choice was Breandan, because of his WC2009 victory, and I've also met him. xD

edit: I'm going by favourite cubers, not best/greatest.

look at Medal Collection and Sum of Average Ranks

EDIT: I voted for Dan Cohen. His lowest rank for anything is 121. That is pretty nuts in my mind that he is good at every single puzzle.

 

[TimMc]

What does success look like for you?

Agree upon the qualities that define a great speedcuber and then evaluate speedcubers against these qualities and determine who has the most of each.

Tim.

 

[JianhanC]

When you say greatest I presume it means accomplishments. I'm not a fazfan but I'll still say Feliks. 3x3 sub10, sub9, sub8 avg5 and sub7, sub6 single alone is enough to put him up there, and there's still 2, 4, 5, and 6 WRs.

 

[rubiksarlen]

and there's still 2, 4, 5, and 6 WRs.

And don't forget the OH and BLD (o.O) WRs he used to hold.

 

[xcuber123]

easy ME YAY!!!!!!! I RULE

 

[applemobile]

And why exactly is Justin Beiber not in the poll?
