[Unofficial] Yu Nakajima Rubik's magic 1.22, two days of practise

[*LukeMayn*]

WOW he is good at what he practises, I two days he got this...

 

[pcharles93]

Takayuki Okusa is pretty fast, maybe he's taught him a faster and more efficient way of doing it.

 

[PCwizCube]

Wow! Very fast!

I know, this guys is crazy. In four days he gets a 5.81 second 10/12 solve average for the 2x2 cube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTT2oPocSZ0

^^ Maybe Syuhei Omura taught him. Takayuki could've taught him 5x5 and Magic. Syuhei taught him 2x2 and 4x4. Yumu Tabuchi taught him BLD. And maybe Takumi Yoshida taught him OH. I need to find some speedcubers that live nearby.

lol, I'd have more touble than you in NZ....... Dene's in the south island, I'm in the north and who knows where n00bcuber and Malcom are...

 

[pcharles93]

That sucks. I'm in Ohio and the closest are Dakota in Newark, Shaden in KY?, and Mike in Indianapolis. All the other cubers in my school have quit and I've surpassed them in a relatively short time period.

The cuber who lives closest to me is Andrew Kang. Only about 30 minutes. We have only met once though, at Chattahoochee.

 

[hdskull]

The Japanese have cube meetings where they discuss stuff (DCC, I think it's called). No doubt they all help each other. You guys forgot to mention Mitsuki Gunji and Raiden(Akutsu?), they are good at everything also.

I live in Pittsburgh, and Dan Cohen goes to school here as well. Depending on where you live in Ohio we could be pretty close... Pittsburgh is less than an hour away from the Ohio border.

On topic, it's insane how fast Yu gets good at things.

 

[masterofthebass]

You guys know, magic is really easy to do... If you have a good magic and if you move fast, it's not hard at all to get fast. 1.22 isn't even that fast. He's not as godly as you guys all think he is. He just moves, really, really fast.

That's not really anything. In half an hour of seriously starting to practice 2x2, I got my average down to 8.02 seconds. Considering how fast he turns anyway, it's not very surprising. I'm pretty sure many people can do that. My turning speed is like 3.5tps at best on the 2x2, so his look ahead isn't even better than mine.
As for the magic, never tried that, so I don't know. It's rather brainless fast moving. I'm nice at speed origami, I hope it's similar.
I don't really think you need to live near a good cubist to get better. Just practice yourself works quite well.

 

[Dave Campbell]

I would have to inspect the thickness of his puzzle for a possible 2 second penalty. The Magic was on the timer, and as such has a good chance of being elevated over two tiles higher than flat, as per article 10g in the regulations.

NO ONE IN Virginia(tidewater region)!!!
I only know of one person; Siraj, but we are about the same in 3x3, I want a BLD'er and a sub13'er!!
In fact, Mitchell, where do you live?
Jason goes to college in VA right?

 

[Jason Baum]

Yeah I do, but it's southern VA and isn't really close to anything (I'm still 3 1/2 hours away from the DC area). Mitchell is probably pretty close.

 

[pcharles93]

OK, so no 2 amazing cubers live near each other excluding the ones in college. We need to fix this problem. All in favor of building a cuber community in the Midwest say 'aye'.

Well, I don't know about the US, but here in Canada, Harris, me, and Doowon (We're all sub-15) live near eachother (15 mins away from each other, I think).

Aye!

I'm working on it - trying to teach the cube to everyone I can. You should too.

 

[Dene]

Luke, I think Malcolm is in Auckland.

 

[*LukeMayn*]

oh really! That would be helpful for BLD

 

[AvGalen]

Aye, and agree with Mike about the teaching part:

"If you can't cube with the ones you love, cube with the ones you're with" (kudo's to everyone that get's the reference and no, it is not mohammed and the mountain)
