WTF

Likely no video of the solve tho
Here's a really slick solve of his

And his wca profile https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/persons/2015DUYU01

Claimed to be xxcross and sune pll skip.
I'm still not completely convinced tho tbh.

This is his first sub 6 single what

 

[WombatWarrior17]

Woah, is this legit?

People have said on fb that delegate confirmed it, and cubingchina doesnt seem immature enough to do this.
This also seems very organized if it is a prank lol, and maybe too hard to do, but that 14 fmc single fooled me lol

No way, unbelievable, should have been Jay, why wasn’t this me, should have been max, why, wow, first sub 4, scramble?, solution?, why T noodle why... are just some of my thoughts after seeing this

 

[weatherman223]

Should have been jay smh

GJ anyway!

If it was such a lucky scramble, I'm surprised no one in the round got great results on the solve. Seems a bit suspicious.

Everything else adds up, however. Good cuber, correct scramble and all.
But I have this gut feeling that its too perfect to be real...

 

[TwisterCuber]

I'm quite skeptical about this. He got a 9.00 average. His best is a 6.03 in comp. This has to have been a mis scramble because no one else got good times on this scramble. They must have seen the XXCross too. I doubt this honestly.

 

[BenBergen]

That's crazy!

Cool stat - proportionally speaking, this is the second biggest drop in the 3x3 single WR in the WCA era. Erik's 7.08 is first, at 81.2% of the previous record of 8.72. Though Yusheng Du's 3.47 isn't far behind at 82.2% of 4.22.

My exact thoughts.

It's only a 0.75 difference but we need the scramble, video, anything! Might be a scrambler scrambling the cubes wrong on purpose and led to a 3 again. No one else got good times on their 2nd solve, granted they might have been in different heats but Antoine Cantin was there and you'd think he would get a better time. This is just crazy. We should all be skeptical for the time being until there is an official announcement or whatever.

I'll admit it is a bit strange he is the only one who got a good time on the scramble, but it seems plausible at least. If it wasn't an obvious XXcross, the lower-caliber competitors may not have recognized it. And the only other sub-8 cubers there were Antoine and Kaijun. Kaijun uses Roux. And Antoine only does orange-red cross so the XXcross may have been on a different colour.

am very sceptical, this doesn't add up in the slightest...
