-Tim Major goes out of his way to target Kennan yet again

I'm not targeting Kennan, I'm stating my viewpoint. I would say the same for others too. To be honest though, I am sick of Kennan's incredible arrogance, when he doesn't back it up.

Post your PBs, sure, but stop calling yourself the best in the world.

You really think so? I don't :p

Seriously, I do. Getting lucky is not a crime, and you deserved a good average. You've put a lot of time into skewb, and you wouldn't have gotten an average that good despite easy scrambles without the time you put in. :)

I never called myself the best in the world. Not once. Please do not call me arrogant, that is definitely not my intent. There are several people around my speed and I happily acknowledge that. I'm not sure what type of mental disability you have to not understand why I can't back up my times in comp yet. ​I have not had a comp with skewb since dixon, where I averaged a second slower than I do now. I bombed my average there. Obviously I cannot back up my times yet. Duh. As soon as I get more rounds of skewb, I can redeem my piece of crap average from dixon. Does that make sense? Good.

Thank you. I agree with almost all of what you said, but I would like to clear up me sounding arrogant.. I never ever intended to sound stuck up or anything like that. Antoine fully deserves the average he got, as does Jonatan. When I say I am capable of beating WR fairly easily, I do not mean by any means that I am the only one capable. There are a lot of people who could break it at the present moment. (including you. Yes, you are vgj at skewb)

So other than that I completely agree with what you said. It's luck of the draw when it comes to skewb, in the one round I got I happened to have bad luck.

So TL;DR I agree with Antoine completely, and I honestly didn't intend to sound arrogant or stuck up. I apologize sincerely if I ever came across that way. Thanks.

To be honest, this has suddenly turned into a debate all about your skill-level in skewb. It was supposed to be about official vs. unofficial times and how together they give a better indication of who may be the best solver than when referring to just official or just unofficial times (something Sajwo failed to realise despite it being painfully obvious).

Onto the current debate: To be honest I don't care if you come across as arrogant, it has no effect on whether or not you are capable of getting world-class unofficial/official times in skewb.

I still find it weird, however, that despite the fact that you have posted some incredible times in skewb and some pretty good times in 3x3 and the fact that you record videos quite regularly, that you still don't have any good avg videos. None. Your avg100 is sub5 (right?) and yet you can't replicate that for an avg12 on cam. Your 3x3 avg100 is 9.4x (I think)...but you only have a 9.80 avg12 on cam - you should be able to get that in your sleep.

It doesn't make Kennan a fast cuber. Jonatan is currently the fastest person in the skewb (and his official results are just about the same as his unofficial results)
And for Kennan, 4.xx ao100 is kinda hard to believe considering his 8.xx avg5 - just another yoshinator for now

Rami, you are :o

I haven't read the rest of this thread yet but I definitely have to say this add-on is pointless insult. -1


Edit: Props to TDM for sticking up for Yosh

9.80 ao12 was epic failure. I fully admit that. I only really uploaded it because I was happy about 8.77 ao5. I realized it could be sub 9 on cam and got nervous. Take a look at the last 5 solves. As for skewb I haven't recorded anything lately, or even solved the puzzle. I lost a piece of a torpedo and can't find it. Once I reglue that, I'll get a decent skewb average on cam. I'm not trying to make stupid excuses, they are the actual reasons.

Now on a completely unrelated note, Riley Woo now has the 3x3 UWR! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6s...ty cool[/QUOTE] Then why even bring it up?

Riley's 3.52 doesn't count as UWR because it was scrambled wrong by one move? It's called "unofficial" for a reason. That seems small enough to pass, as far as unofficial records go. It at least deserves a mention on the UWR page for LOLs. Maybe there should be a "stupid solves" section of the UWR page?

Angle looks really good, Jacob.
