Who will beat 5.55?

[Maxh]

All people how have a sub 8 average. A Lucky scramble

 

[Genius4Jesus]

Bill Wang.

 

[kcl]

mitch lane #625

 

[andi25]

I'm going with on of the Weyer twins. They are both stupidly fast.

 

[CiaranBeahan]

I think Lucas Etter will beat it before he turns 14. But I want Feliks to beat it first because I want him to hold the single record because he deserves it more than anybody.

Who says Mats won't beat his own time?

Because he hit his spark in 2013, he's kinda dropped since then. Don't get me wrong, he has more than enough capability to do it, but not as much as Feliks at least.

Everyone who voted in the poll

Yeah, Mats is not doing good recently.

Yes, all the reasonable people know that Feliks is the most likely single person and that "Other" has the advantage of being so many people, and all the rebel punks are rooting for the Roux guy.

Why do you think Mats is more likely than Feliks, more likely than Alex, and more likely than the entire rest of the community combined?

Edit: Some statistics about the four options:

sub-6:
Feliks: 5
Mats: 1
Alex: 1
Other: 1

sub-7:
Feliks: 55
Mats: 9
Alex: 15
Other: 72

sub-7 in 2014:
Feliks: 25
Mats: 0
Alex: 6
Other: 38

Edit 2: Oh wow, I just saw that Feliks got a sub-7 in each of his last eight rounds. And 13 overall in those eight rounds.

i can ask you the same question. it's all preference. Feliks holds enough records, he doesnt need nearly all of them

I like the implication that obtaining a record is based off need... I guess mine will happen any day now!

Mats is now ranked 4th in the world for average, while feliks, Lucas, and Alex are all faster than him on paper. I think he's actually pretty overrated, because he's the one that's gotten all of the fame from holding the single WR. Feliks is worlds ahead of everyone else on paper, (maybe not Alex lau, they have roughly the same Ao100, but he's less consistent in comps) so he will probably get the WR. Technically he already did with his 5.33 DNF. He has a bunch of sub 6s as well, whereas everyone who has a sub 6 only has one.

But really, anyone can get stupidly lucky. With a LL skip, I could probably get a sub 10 single on a decent F2L. Seungboem (probably spelling that wrong) Cho had a fullstep 6 recently in a comp, where the F2L was probably low 3. With a LL or PLL skip, he would have gotten the WR.

 

[TomTom]

im not saying he is the best, nor is he my favorite. i just would like to see someone other than feliks holding SOME records

Well that isn't what the thread/poll asks. Also, doesn't explain why you chose Mats over Alex and Other.

 

[Genesis]

Most likely Feliks, but there's too many contenders to make a remotely decent guess...

 

[GuRoux]

i would say feliks has more than 50% chance of being the next wr single holder.

 

[TomTom]

IDK who alex is, i don't watch/pay attention to many event, so i dont know who he is. I know mats because he is well known and everyone talks about him

 

[RayLam]

feliks has the highest persentage.But Alexander Lau is also probable as he's got many subWR unofficially.I expect Alex more
