Who is the best 3x3 cuber

[Jorian Meeuse]

Who's that?

The best 3x3 cuber in India

The best 3x3 cuber in India

ah.

 

[Christopher Cabrera]

If you factor in the impact on the sport I think no one compares with Feliks, but to be fair I feel like Tymon has made some of the more advanced techniques more meta on 3x3

 

[NmeCuber]

Wait I didn't know that Yiheng, Max, Feliks, Tymon, and Yusheng were all cubes

 

[Swagrid]

However, I think Max Park is really the dark horse here

calling Max a dark horse in any nxn is actually wild

 

[turtwig]

Yiheng Wang's average this year is about 5.3. Tymon and Max rarely get averages that good. Yiheng has 1 sub-5 average out of 7 while Max and Tymon have the same number out of many more averages. From some analysis I did a few weeks ago, Tymon's global average is around 5.7-5.8, and I expect Max's to be around the same. Yiheng's worst average since he started competing again this year is 5.68, and all his other averages are sub-5.5. Yiheng has 11/35=31% sub-5s, whereas Max and Tymon both have 77 ever, competing in about 80-90 rounds in 2022 and 2023 (and of course they had many sub-5s before that, too), so they have less than 20% sub-5s. I don't think there's much doubt that Yiheng has by far the best global average and I expect he'll break the WR average soon.

EDIT: This answer is for the thread title. For the poll question (best of all time), I would say the answer is Feliks, due to his length of dominance.

ye

Yiheng is definitely up and coming, but Max and Tymon are much more consistent. But as always, Feliks is the GOAT, regardless of how well he does. Du Yusheng kinda got a really lucky scramble.

i think that tymon is turning into the better version of felix

 

[randomness...]

i agree, also wasnt Feliks the first one to break the sub 5 barrier in Comp?

 

[Thisisacuber]

i agree, also wasnt Feliks the first one to break the sub 5 barrier in Comp?

I think it was Lucas Etter

 

[gsingh]

No, it was Lucas Etter for single and Tymon for average.

 

[randomness...]

ah ok-

 

[NONOGamer12]

It's probably Tymon rn, but Yiheng will overtake him soon.

(also it's Feliks lol)

ye

Felix is not the best anymore (it's probably Tymon) but he will always be the best of all time.

fr

Soon it will easily be Yiheng, as he’s still only 9 or smth. He will have all the 3x3 WRs by 2024

no i think that tymon and max still have a fighting chance till they cant go to many comps anyomore

Imo this is the correct answer. The best 3x3ers are Tymon and Max, and they’re so close that it’s impossible to objectively say one is better than the other. Yiheng is incredible but yet to really prove himself as the best in the world, although I’m sure it’ll happen soon. Feliks is the greatest cuber and 3x3er of all time, with only a couple of people able to contend with his legacy. Yusheng is by all means a great cuber but miles from being the best in the world at the moment or ever

i cant read a whole essay XD

feliks = pelé
tymon = cristiano ronaldo
max park = messi
Yiheng Wang = insert some 9 years old soccer/football prodigy that will beat pelé in the future

lol fr that is so acurate

Guys cmon its Yusheng Du. He literally holds the WR for 3x3.

...

If by best you mean the fastest, it would be Max or Tymon. Both are equal in speed but there are more and more cubers slowly reaching their level. Like Yiheng, a cubing prodigy, who almost got the WR average but sadly there was a mis scramble. At all of his recent comps (which is 2), he has proven to be consistently mid sub 6. Also people like Luke, Matty, Leo, Ruihang and more are one of the fastest and could compete against Max and Tymon.

im saying best all round like OH fmc bld all of them

Aryan Chhabbra is the best speedcuber in the future. Yes, I am biased.

Currently Tymon is much more skilled by a large margin.

shud I add it

Feliks is the goat. No one will ever be as insane as him or be able to get wrs for other events while still consistently breaking 3x3 records.

However, I think Max Park is really the dark horse here. Just remember that he does have the 3x3 average without anything his competitors have to offer (Ruihang and Yiheng's TPS, Tymon's efficiency). He doesn't use ZB or COLL, has bad habits such as too many regrips, single flick U2s, etc. Despite this, he still gets consistent low 5 averages. Just a load of a whole lot of incredible talent for one person.
Oh and don't even get me started on his 5x5 and 7x7

LOL

... another paragraph XD 3rd 1

XD LONGEST MESSAGE OF MY LIFE

 

[cubenerd74]

I think it's Max and Tymon right now, but Yiheng will soon prove his skill. However, I don't believe Yiheng will win WC 2023, because he's only 9 y/o and will probably get very nervous. The 3x3 WR will probably circle between the three for a while, with Yiheng having it for longer than Max and Tymon. And when those two retire, Yiheng will completely dominate, just like Feliks in the early 2010s.

Where is Ruihang
