Who is THE cuber of 2007

[Erik]

ah man gotta love Stefan

 

[Dene]

Not that it means much. The more you practise, the faster you'll get. If you can't practise (working/school or whatever), then you will progress slower....

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

Why should someone be obliged to smile after a WR? I wasn't all cheers myself at the minx WR in Sweden as you can see on the vid. Point is that every cuber has it's own zone of good and bad times. For some a 40 sec is great, for some a 14 is bad. When someone does a 40 sec and is mad about it nobody seems to care. But when someone does a 14 and is mad about it, most cubers are like: wow wtf be happy man I never can do that. I think this is also what happened here.
Oh and Mátyás doesn't like these forums because everyone will be like: oh Mátyás how do you do this? How do you do that? What kind of cube do you use? How can I learn the cube? It's quite annoying to be honest after a while. Personally I just ignore those stupid questions and answer the good ones

Hey Erik, I asked you what kind of cube you use, are you annoyed of me?

oh And I voted Matyas [sorry Kuti, I can't do accent marks].
it was between him and Yu Jeong-Min, with his amazing world record, even after all this time he's still the only person to get a sub-12 average. he deserved my vote, but then again Matyas practically set every other world record. XD

 

[chevyLi]

I voted Matyas for his extraordinary records , and his overwhelming solves at blindcubing , he is almost good at any puzzle and really inspired a lot of cubers. Speaking of inspiration , that is a reason I think Harris should be in the list

Ron is my second choice !

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Erik is my favorite cuber. He has redefined the limits of speedcubing in many events, such as 2x2 a couple years ago, 5x5, Megaminx...

Harris Chan is still amazing though.

 

[hdskull]

Erik, because he is more reachable and share his secrets with others. His website helped me as well as many others gain speed on the 2x2x2 . To this extent he beats Matyas, even with the methods he uses on the internet, he still beats others. Matyas keeps everything he knows secret and is less willing to help out others.

 

[Harris Chan]

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

Um... no?

I didn't say a month in my video o.O I said 3 months

The thing is, Matyas isn't really doing anything new. He is just very fast.

 

[TobiasDaneels]

I consider them both to be incredibly good cubers.
They are both very fast, one everything.
But Matyas his memory skills keep impressing me, so i guess I'll have to chose him.
Stil a hard choice.

No offence Erik,.

 

[alexc]

That UWR for fastest time to get sub 20 average, I would be 9th. (128 days)

 

[Tomarse]

No offence erik, you have skills boy, but matyas is just pure gold in the cubing context, his achievements this previous year are incredible =p

 

[qqwref]

Erik and Matyas are the best at solving so many real cubes, but look how many computer cubes I've mastered

[gillesvdp]

Why not Ron van Bruchem ?
New World Record !!!
9.55 seconds...

I was surprised to be the only one to have voted for Ronnie.
Anyway, others also deserve votes ^^

 

[Stefan]

Wow. Milan Baticz is now the only one not even receiving a single vote. Have a look at the the top 3 here and their huge distance to the rest:

I didn't expect you to post this in public Stefan. I think a lot of people will be surprised by a lot of names on this list.

 

[Stefan]

Well, I decided it can't hurt that much. And I've coded this a long time ago and the whole time I've been so eager to finish and publish it. And I hope it'll motivate me to improve the WCA results pages for Ron and then to finish this statistic and some other tools I have in mind and make them available for all.

 

[gillesvdp]

OK... I was first surprized to be on the list and very excited about it.
Then I asked myself, how come people like Ron or Edouard are not on it ?

That's because they compete in a very limited number of events, so even if they are good in it, their score is "destroyed" by all the other categories in which they do not compete since they get a very very high rank (number of people having competed + 1) in those.

So, if you are like me who just focus on remaining in the top 100 for every event, I guess that's a good way to be in the list.

But I am glad to see those new statistics and excited that there will be more in the future. ^^

 

[Siraj A.]

Erik, Matyas, Yu, and Ron are my favorite.

Erik wins IMO.

 

[Gabriel]

Well, it's so hard choosing only one, because Mátyás Kuti and Erik are the best, but if I must choose one that it'll be Mátyás....his blindfolded always surprises me.
