GO ERIK!
You are closer to my cubing idol than anyone
Besides, unlike Matyas, you have increased the number of world records you have by infinity percent in 2007...

Mátyás!
How did he manage to pick up all those spare events before they became way too fast? I don't think it will ever be possible to come close to his sweep of WR's...
As if sub-1 BLD all the time weren't enough, or being the only person to have held 4x4x4 and 5x5x5, single and average (each) all simultaneously...

It's good that you have Milán Baticz in your list. After Matyas and you, he's definitely my #3, and then there's a large gap to #4. Some other great cubers that seem to be hardly known: Bertalan Bodor, Grzegorz Luczyna, Piotr Kózka

I think that the most noteworthy cuber is Yu Nakajima, after winning Worlds and having his YouTube video featured.

I voted for Mr. Nakajima. This is because, the question does not state best cuber, just the cuber. For the reasons stated above (^^), he has done a lot for cubing this year, and winning the world championships was a huge achievement. Just as in 2003 Mr. Knights was so great, it is this year our honour to be in the presence of Mr. Nakajima . (At least, that's my opinion).

Matyas. He's the official 2007 world champion in 5 events and holds 11 world records at the end of 2007.

I didn't put Harris Chan up because I didn't feel he made a chance. In competition he did some good 3x3 times but no WR's or good results at the Worlds. Of course he is still a very good 3x3 cuber...

Erik, of course!
He's my big hero, and I feel respect to him.

I voted for Matyas. His current 10 world records(at one point 11), are just staggering. However, if it was a 3x3 thing I think Harris Chan deserve some credit even though he hasn't shown his full potential yet in competition.

It all depends on what "THE" cuber means Nakajima, being the WC, will be the most well known outside of the cubing community because of the media, and that he handled the pressure well.
Matayas and Erik mastered so many puzzles, being like the Jack-of-all Trades, which require lots of dedication and efforts. Both have done amazing records...I don't know who to choose haha.
Gungz (Yu Jeong Min) set the 3x3 Avg record with a HUGE margin at the time, from previous 13.22 to 11.76, which a year later no one else has even sub 12 yet (but soon). But may be THE cuber in our minds is somebody that came out more recently, in the last half of the year?
anyway, let's see who's going to be THE cuber of 2008 ;-)

P.S. Erik was right to decide not to put my name on there, because I haven't been able to perform as well in official competition in 2007, and I'm only good at 3x3, nothing else much (though I'm working on it haha). There's still a long way to go.

Well I only could pick 10 cubers, maybe you should've been on it instead of Joel maybe. No affence to Joel of course, he is still one of my cubing heroes (together with Matyas)! But you did some great Unofficial things and an official sub-10..

Harris is my idol, especially since he started when he was 12
but within a month, as he said in one of his vids. he was sub 20, unfortunately, I am 6 months into cubing and no signs of sub 20 >.<
ALSO:
Why has no one voted for Ron van Bruchem?
just a reminder, look at his profile: http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2003BRUC01
#2 on the average for 4x4..
#1 on the 2x2 single
and best of all:
#1 on the 3x3 single :O

I think Ron would have been number 4 on my list behind Mátyas, Erik, Milan. I certainly don't underestimate Ron, but those 3 are just......even more incredible.
