some of them are not very popular, but I still like them.

I am honored.

Yup. You're just flat out awesome

 

[Anthony]

Hand him a puzzle, he'd get world record times in weeks. Not even joking.

I think that's a common misconception.

 

[Kirjava]

Because all, and I mean all of the fast (sub 15) cubers today looked up to Nakajima when they were starting out and watching his videos in awe, nearly jizzing their pants in the process, he was also an inspiration.

No.

 

[IamWEB]

@Anthony->lildude: Yeah. He was good, really good, but even that overstatement was overstated.

Uh, yeah.

Nakajima got good fast, and was very fast. He improvement is inspiring and his speed is amazing. He'll always have a placing in speedcubing. Yeah, I said it.

Little wonder that YouTube has some 50,000 videos, including tutorials, that feature the puzzle, or that clubs such as the World Cube Association (WCA) have boomed lately. The WCA organizes international "speedcubing" contests.

The true story of the return of popularity of the cube is not known on the web. For the rest you always see the same people. I am a needle in a haystack on the web.

Oh man. I totally forgot.

Mohammad Azraei( who teach me most of the things), amos tay( nice and friendly cuber). Although they are not that that famous, but they are one of my favorite.

1. Sinpei or Shinichiro, because they both are right handed OH cubers, and they use an F-II.
2. Yu
3. Sittinon
4. Thrawrst
5. Lance

 

[Robert-Y]

Sittinon is also right handed and uses an F-II I think

 

[ElderKingpin]

lol.. when i typed sittinon i got videos about "Sittin on a toilet" x_X

 

[lilkdub503]

Anddddddd this is one of those days I feel like a freaking idiot.

 

[goatseforever]

why do people still include nakajima in their favorites even though he doesnt cube anymore

Yu Nakajima was a cuber, thus people can include him in their lists of favorite cubers. Similar to how people can include retired bands in a list of their favorite bands, etc.

 

[Joël]

Tough question... Of course I have a long list of cubers I like.. And a few who inspired me and taught me certain things.

1. Dan Knights: I started cubing after watching his videos, right after the wc in '03. Unfortunately I only got to meet him only once .

2. Koen Heltzel: One of the Dutch cubers from the time I started cubing. He had a very fluent style and relaxed peronality, and was quite fast (for that time) even though he used just a keyhole method and a 3lll. Never lost his cool during a solve.

3. Stefan Pochmann: I consider him to be a pioneer in BLD cubing. And he taught me a thing or two about commutators .

4. Per Kristen Fredlund: One of my teachers.

Can't particularly order them but here are some:

RobH0629 (his videos helped me solve the cube for my first time)
cubes4lyfe (learned block building from his videos)
Erik Akkersdijk (sick skills, just plain sick)
Tony Fisher (he builds awesome custom cubes, of which the giant 3x3 is my favourite one)
