What is world class?

[applezfall]

Anyone who has a pb ao5 that's less than the wr ao5

I would say that if someone has a sub wr ao12 for smaller cubes then he is world class in that event

Nah I reckon more like ao50. Ao12s on small cubes can be WAY faster than people's averages.

How many people have sub 2.04 pyra ao50?

I would define it as someone who can perform within a certain percentage of the WR. For example anyone with an official PB better than WRx1.15.

With this criteria, 6 people would be world class in 3x3, 12 in 2x2, 5 in 4x4, 7 in 5x5, 3 in 6x6, 8 in 7x7, 2 in Megaminx, etc. Also Kaijun Lin would be the only person in world class in 4x4 and 5x5 BLD.

No way. I have sub 3 averages in skewb, but I average 4.5. I have sub wr averages in 2x2, but I average 2.5.

I mean for events you can't one look

1 looking =/= 1 looking within inspection time
Here is a one look of all wca puzzles
2-7

You know you can one look skewb and pyra

Sq-1

Megaminx

for 3x3 I consider world-class to be able to make finals at Worlds

I agree sort of with this, except for the fact that Kaijun is the only world class in 4blad and 5bld. Roman Strakhov should be up there too.
