[Bestsimple]

well i've always considered sub 10 to be world class.

I remember learning something about normal distribution and z-scores in math. if anyone remembers this, it could probably be applied to the WCA rankings to give you a more accurate idea of how good you are

Just found this thread, here's my rankings by method


Everything but old Pochmann: Nub
old pochmann: SUPER AMAZING AWESOME CUBER

 

[Spaxxy]

I only have officially recorded times for 3x3 and 4x4 so far, but I'm decent in all of them, from 2x2-5x5

So for 3x3 and 4x4 you're officially decent. For 2x2 and 5x5 you're unofficially decent.

I remember this thread!

The times that make you good are the times you are happy to get.

If that's so I guess I will never be good.

Well then I guess my 3x3 and megaminx times make me sad!

Depends on how ambitious you are I suppose. I feel like a decent solver with 3x3 and 4x4 even though according to the ranking I'm very close if not already "great". I will not rest until I average under 15 with the 3x3 easily and sub 1 or maybe sub 50 with 4x4. Might take a while ,_,

I think I'd classify it like this

1+- Beginner
60-40- Novice
40-30- Advanced
30-20- Expert
20- Master

This scale is generally more accurate because speedcubers are biased to believe that only borderline world record times are good

30-20- Expert
20- Master

So I'm a master in 5 months of cubing? I don't think so.

Have you ever considered that the reverse might be true? That your scale is biased because it was made by someone who is not particularly fast? (no offense intended) Having been there and gotten faster, wouldn't fast people be better at judging the ability level of people at different times? The idea of calling someone who is sub 20 a master just seems wrong to me
I would say like:
60+: hasn't practiced a lot yet
40-60: meh, improving anyway
25-40: at least they have drive to get faster
18-25: getting pretty fast.
14-18: not really fast, but speeding up
10-14: quite fast, but not stunning
8-10: very good
sub 8: master
