[Unofficial] Yu Nakajima Rubik's Magic sub-1!

[Yu Nakajima]

Ahhh....

Of course,

1, I have frends.(not cubing) Friend is important.
2, Not Cubing > Real life. I am cubing > SLEEPING By the way, I'm not practicing 6 hours/day.(I have never said such a thing.) It is about two hours.


Nakaji

 

[Dene]

Ha! That's quite funny. Clears up the air a bit. So, guys, 2 hours is all you need now

 

[pcharles93]

That's good to hear. Who started that 6 hours/day rumor?

 

[Kenny]

I don't know, but there used to be days when I practiced that much and I still have a life and friends . You just have to be good at scheduling.

@hdskull
But Michael Jordan gets paid millions of dollars to play basketball and it's his job. But Yu doesn't get paid for cubing, he just does it a lot because he loves it. There is nothing wrong with that, but I just think 6 hours a day cubing is a little excessive. (It's just my opinion.)

If he wasn't good, then he wouldn't get paid playing, and how did he get good? 8hrs a day. (wasn't paid when he was practicing in high school) Besides Yu did get paid that 5k when he won WC didn't he?

Btw, I like how this pointless conversation is still going.

Dennis Strehlau, I think.

 

[Inusagi]

Wow, two hours??
That's not that much... I wonder why I don't become so good with little pracitse

 

[Lotsofsloths]

wait a second..
I have a feeling this is somewhat planned/fastforwarded..
Notice the time from 4-5, he holds his hand down for not even one second!!
mine takes exactly 1 secound to for the green light..
Im not calling Nakajima out a cheater, and I respect Nakajima in every way, but it looks a little fishy.


EDIT: nvm, I looked at the video again, it could be just like Harris Chan's 38.XX pll time attack one, where the camera messed up and the frame rate was sped up.

Looks like he held it down for 1 full second to me...

(And this was a very clear DNF because of the way he stopped the timer)

What's wrong with how he did it?

 

[Johannes91]

It seems like we're experiencing a case of counterstrike-itis here.

Everyone worse than you is a worthless noob.

Everyone better than you has no life.

Awesome quote. Applies to many other things than cubing, too.

He was very close to stopping it with his wrists.

 

[sam]

Don't quit cubing, just quit magic-ing, lol.

 

[Alex DiTuro]

I think that a lot of you guys are being REALLY lame.

Hating on Yu for being so good. It's lame guys, seriously.

He's the world record holder for goodness sake. He did 8.72, twice, at an official comp. Ever seen anyone do that? No. Can YOU do it? No. So get over it.

Sure, the magic is way easier on the carpet, but you can't deny that he's still very very fast.

And wrt to cubing - he's faster than you. End. No need to go on about how he has no life and what not, his life is HIS business. In any normal person's eyes, Rubik's cubes are "nerd" toys in any case, so in essence, you're as much of a loser as he is.

Why hate on someone because he's good?

I'm not hating on him because he's fast at 3x3. I think he's insane. His turn speed blows everyone out of the water. I'm just saying, being good at magic in a couple of days isn't that impressive. As we all know, he's insanely fast at turning. That's ALL magic is, is turning fast. I have really nothing against him... but my issue is with everyone thinking he's GOD because he can turn really fast.

I am officially the first nakajimaist!

OH HOLY NAKAJI, WE BOW DOWN TO YOU WITH YOUR INSANELY FAST CUBE TURNS AND YOUR GOD-LIKE WAYS!

 

[masterofthebass]

Hahahaha!!! o well, you would think that after the first DNF that he might be a little bit more careful, but i guess he was just going for a good single.

magic and mmagic will always belong to the hungarians. sorry sam and tim etc, but Oliver and Mate are just too good. they will get the two remaining records soon. and hopefully after nov 22 the Americans will have clock.
