i think austin moore is also 2, probably the third best rouxer.

I think officially there are 4 -- Alex Lau (7.50), Kaijun Lin (9.18), Austin Moore (9.48), and Thom Barlow (9.97). Unofficially I know GuRoux is, but idk who else. I think it's less than 10 though.

Lol i was being hopeful... you're almost there though. I hope to be sub 10 by february.

 

[JediJupiter]

I'll be sub-10 (in a year or two)

You serious? That's a pretty crazy expectation haha. I'm optimistic and hoping to be sub 10 in a year Not sure how long it will take to drop 2ish seconds, but I can hope for the best.

 

[pewpewrawr]

sub-7 is possible so that's my goal, i've got nothing better to do with my time.

 

[TDM]

If I ever get close to sub-10 then I'll be very happy. I went from 17 to 14 this year with CFOP; going from 18 to sub-10 is looking like it could take a while.

What? That there are 10 sub 10 roux solvers or that I want to be sub 10 by febtuary?

 

[theROUXbiksCube]

Hoping to become sub 10 in a year in a half minimum :3
Lel my lookahead skills are on and off sometimes ()()(

Sub 10 by February. I don't want to be a doubter, but that seems highly improbable. Feel free to prove me wrong though

My whole progression is doubful. It only took me 2 months to get sub 20, and 2 months to get sub 15. I think by march first, half or more of my solves will be sub 10.

It's been about 4.5 months since I crossed sub 15, and I'm averaging low 12's right now. But maybe you have more time than I have, so I suppose anything is possible. Progression does become a lot slower though after 14-15.

I agree with you that progression slows, and that I have more time than you (for now....). I'm about mid-high 13s right now, but I haven't been doing much 3x3 lately (got a 2x2 and 4x4 to play around with). My 2x2 lookahead is terrible and I average 8 seconds, and I'm just bad at 4x4 (2:16 min. pb lol). I want to improve at all three events, but I'm gonna focus my efforts on 3x3.

i think arvind and arcio are also sub 10. don't know who else though. maybe tomoya yamashita.

Are you talking about Arvind Tatiparti? Whatever happened to him? There haven't been any updates from him in a while.

your progression is crazy. i think it took Alexander Lau 1 year to get sub 10. you might beat that.
