When do you consider a cuber a master?

[Hershey]

I can has a super duper waffle master powers?

fixed

Fix'd. It should be "I can has a super duper waffo master powers?"

 

[waffle=ijm]

well no. That would imply that I entrust my powers to myself.

 

[ianography]

Do I get super special powers Waffo?

 

[Hershey]

well no.

kk Waffo.

You're only a master when you know all LL cases, and can recognize and solve them under 2 seconds average

No! I'm ruined! I'm a Roux solver, and don't solve in layers!

What times would a cuber need to get in order to be considered a master?

This is a different question than the one in your thread title...

Lars and Guus are grandmasters but they are not fast for nowadays standards....

 

[jack3256]

I font think speed defines mastery what about FMC or multiple BLD?

To collect them is my real test, to solve them is my cause!

We should write the whole pokemon song in the cube way

Dan Brown...jking,

I would like to consider the people that were speed cubers in the 80s (Jessica Fridrich for one) b/c they were the originals. A classically modern master I would consider would be Dan Knights, b/c he followed in the original cubers " wrist " style with standard CFOP.

But as for modern day masters, Breandon, Nakajima, Hessler, etc.

Anyone who truly understands the techniques of at least one part of cubing, to the point where they can apply them in practice, and discover and evaluate new ideas.

I really hate when people think you have to be really good at 3x3 to be a master. Not to brag, but I think I know enough (and have enough skill) in several cubing fields to deserve the title. Hell, I probably have more unofficial records than anyone else. And yet I'm extremely slow at 3x3 (partly due to tps and partly because I don't share the obsession with that event that many others have). Does not having high tps forbid me from being respected? If you say yes, I personally hate you : p

wen dey are soop 10 wid snyfer

 

[teller]

*Just to be forewarned, I am referring to a master of speed, not theory.*

Close to (or at) world record times.

By this logic, Dan Knights was a master in 2003, but now he's not, and he's actually IMPROVED!

No...you don't have to be Yoda. Obi Wan was a master too.

Haha. Oh I remember the days of Pokemon. Good times.

 

[panqueque]

Not gonna lie, i'm still an avid pokemon playeer though, my new love for cubing has taken over haha

 

[Ltsurge]

i think we should vote on who is a master and grandmaster every year 1 new one is elected
One for each puzzle i.e grandmaster of magic grandmaster of 3x3
sounds good?
