I wouldn't have thought that. Kaleta isn't the best in the world at it, and an 11 second AO5 isn't that amazing. The next 14 results are all sub 13 and none of those 14 results are Przemyslaw. Antoine and Michal and Feliks could all break that.

IMO Przemyslaw might actually be the fastest in the world right now. Michal has gotten slower, me too and Feliks a little as well.

Przemysław can break it as well, but with bigger probability. He's averaging at home ~12. Have you seen Antoine's results on Facebook? He's barely sub14. Michał won't get WR average (I would say that he's more capable of WR single, he's getting 8s quite often). Don't know how fast is Feliks at home :rolleyes:

You saw my OH note? Did you see that my last avg100 was 13.25? :)
But yeah, you're probably right about most of this. I am practicing though, and hope to be in contention again soon.

surely mega should be less safe, yu da hyun hasn't been to a comp in a while

That doesn't mean me she'll have one soon :rolleyes:

Other than her, I think it's quite safe. I don't think Simon, Balint, Oscar or Chris have been practicing all the much recently. Louis isn't averaging anywhere near that either, so I highly doubt he'd be able to beat it again. I actually wouldn't be surprised if Sydney would get the next megaminx WR, she's improving quite fast and has lots of steam.

I'm sure you know people's OH stats better than me, but you and Feliks both just got low 12 averages in US nats... neither of you can be that far away from it, can you?
 
okso I have done sup 7 TPS in comp at least twice that I know of. 7 TPS*1.35 seconds= about 9.5 moves, which is also not that uncommon. With say a 7 move scramble, only 5.2 TPS is required. Pyra single will be broken again in the next 1-2 years. Maybe not immediately, but someone will get it.

I mostly based my predications on what is safe/unsafe for the rest of the year. But you could prove that prediction wrong this weekend ;)
 
I see a lot of people say this, but honestly I don't agree. There's a possibility that it will never be broken, but there's also the possibility that it will be broken this weekend.

I don't think so... Even with a four move scramble, someone has to execute it perfectly to even have a chance. I think you're underestimating just how quick 0.69s is. It's hard enough to pick a puzzle up and execute 4 moves in that time even at home...
 
Skewb (average) if it gets cancelled like Magic, but it won't because 2x2...

EDIT: It'll get broken because lol-scrambles will happen and some cubers get faster and faster. Imagine how fast people will be at Skewb in 30 years, like 3x3, if it lasts that long. :-)

Except since the move to random state, lolscrambles are much more unlikely. I had a 4.xx lolscramble in 1200 solves, but that was the only one, and it was significantly less easy than lolscrambles used to be (my solution was 11 twists, which turned out to be optimal).

It's not a matter of if, but when. There are easily 20 people today who could get WR single on the right scramble, if not more. Amazing scrambles are less common than they used to be, but they still exist with random-state scrambles, and one will pop up in the right place at the right time eventually. I wouldn't call that "safe".

Hey hey hey! I will personally make sure that Sydney is never in the game for mega WR :p
