[Sheldon]

Yes I did Will you forgive me one day? :rolleyes:

 

[Tim Major]

333- 5.15 6.91
444- 26.71 33.51
555- 51.00 57.51

OH- same and 12.50
3BF- 30.00 (sorry guys :/)
Multi- 25/25

 

[ThomasJE]

Indeed they did.

I don't think 3x3 single is going to change. 4x4 will be sub 30. 5x5 will be sub 55. 2x2 average is going down but not sub 2.

I can't see anyone breaking Faz's 5.66 single. It was a lucky scramble,

No it wasn't.

I thought the cross only needed one move to solve, so he could look at the first couple of F2L pairs.

BTW, does anyone have the scramble for Faz's 5.66 WR?

Scramble: D2 L2 D2 R2 B' R2 F2 L2 U2 F' R2 U B D U' L' U F' U2 L2 F'
XCross: y' R U' R d R' U R D
F2L #2: U' y' R' U R U' R' U' R
F2L #3: R U R' U2 R U' R'
F2L #4: L' U L U L' U' L
OLL: U' R' U' F U R U' R' F' R
PLL: R' U R' U' R' U' R' U R U R2 U

It's going to be hard to beat Felik's 5.66 single WR for 3x3, but if anyone is going to challenge it, I think it's going to be Mats. He's the only one within a second of the current WR and has the most consistent improvement of all the top cubers. In 9 competitions in 2011, he's beaten his PB 7 times.

I'm pretty confident the 30 seconds barrier on 4x4 will be crossed.

 

[jonlin]

Feliks will win everything at World Championships

LOL.
3x3 will stay the same.
4x4 will be sub 28
5x5 will be sub 51
6x6 will be sub 1:50

 

[blackzabbathfan]

Single solves, no averages:
2x2- sub 1.8
3x3- sub-5.4
4x4- sub 29
5x5- sub 52
6x6- sub 1:50
OH- sub 9
BLD- sub 25
MBLD- 24/25 in 55 minutes

Winner of US Nationals: Rowe
Winner of Worlds: Rowe (sorry faz)

 

[Ranzha]

Updated my predictions (but probably no one cares =P)

 

[Piebomb]

Some random person will come out of nowhere and beat everyone... Lol jk

 

[Ickenicke]

2x2 average 1.78 by Cameron
3x3 average 7.40 Faz
4x4 single 28.xx by Faz

 

[Divineskulls]

It's going to be hard to beat Felik's 5.66 single WR for 3x3, but if anyone is going to challenge it, I think it's going to be Mats. He's the only one within a second of the current WR and has the most consistent improvement of all the top cubers. In 9 competitions in 2011, he's beaten his PB 7 times.

I think Conny Dieckman has a lot of potential to break the WR, especially after his sub-9 average. I think he has a low 5 on his youtube channel, too(correct me if I'm wrong). He's pretty consistent, too, which gives him a chance for the average WR.

Also, didn't Anthony Brooks get a 4.xy a while back? Ultimately, it comes down to luck, though, I think. An easy x-cross, an OLL/PLL skip, some free f2l pairs. Just my opinion.

 

[Hershey]

Michal, Piti, or Feliks will sub 12 OH average.

 

[Ickenicke]

Michal, Piti, or Feliks will sub 12 OH average.

I hope for a sub-11!

 

[cunningcuber]

Well, I think more and more cubers will start to to achieve sub-10 averages and Roux method will gain more users

 

[GlowingSausage]

3x3 single(maybe sub 5.5): with luck maybe faz (i've got a strange feeling hes going for 3x3 single & avg lol)
3x3 avg(sub 7.5/7): faz or Cornelius dieckmann or faz(more likely faz)
4x4 single (sub 30 - sub 27): mats/faz
4x4 avg (sub 35): faz
megaminx single(sub 40): simon
pyraminx single (sub 1.5): some person with lucky scramle
i'll add more predictions later

 

[PhillipEspinoza]

Sorry to bump this kinda late, and I have been inactive but I wanted to remind people of what they predicted for 2012 and see if anyone was accurate. Someone make a new thread for 2013 predictions? I've been out of touch with cubing lately.
