Is THIS The New Era of Speedcubing?

"Slow Down and Look Ahead"
Yiheng Wang: Turn Faster and 1-Look Everything
7 Years ago, the world record single was 4.59... Today in 2023, we have a world record average faster than that, done by cubers who just graduated from preschool! Lets dive in as we explore the advancements of cubing which was caused by these young prodigy's escape of ideas of practicality, and see how they opened up a completely new competition to the world of speedcubing.

Qixian Cao knowing full ZBLL at 6 years old is insane and very impressive. IIrc there was another 6 year old who got a sub 6 average at the same comp. Will be interesting to see how far these kids can push the cubing limits.

[@IDFB2When]

It was xuanyi geng, and he got a 5.87 average

[@andrewmanzano4792]

FULL ZBLL?!?

@@andrewmanzano4792 Yes, she even uses Sune ZBLL in solves, it‘s crazy.

[@thecalculatedcreativecoder1428]

how is this possible

[@frostdacube8173]

Whats your avg

[@Adi_Cubes]

1.92 is definitely not WB. This is like giving ur PB scram to ur friend and they get their pb, which obviously any cuber would not count. This was Bofans solve, which was done impressively by Yiheng, but not an original scramble and definitely not WB

[@truehiddenb]

i don't follow a lot of speedcubing channels and i've seen quite a few from my 8 years of speedcubing (mostly on and off), but your commentary and editing genuinely meets my expectations so props

[@Feverstockphoto]

Incredible talent at such a young age. I'm sure brain plasticity plays a huge role here along with expert guidance and if you are taught the principles early enough then anything is possible, including regular one-looking solves. Unfortunately at my age planning the cross is already stretching the limits of my old grey cells 🙂. Good luck to the younger generation I can't wait to see what's to come and one-looking popping up in official comps! 👍

[@polos_i]

Love the quality and effort of this video definitely gained my support ❤️

[@MyoKyawKhant]

I feel like it's gonna become the same as chess. Where training since birth become common place (especially since there's an epidemic of Chinese tiger moms making cubing a boasting right). Actual prodigies with potential who took up cubing by themselves and got themselves towards world stage will become a rare breed.

I think it's cool the feats that these kids were able to perform... but the fact that they're so young makes me worry that these children are being pushed into the field by their superiors and these kids have very little of a life outside of cubing...

[@avideosomeday3913]

Agree. Solving cube, being cute n impressive, all is fine. ZBLL? That's where I draw the line xD

how good u are there is always an asian kid who is better than u

Bro talked about the era after Felix and just skipped Max Park as if Max is retired or something😂 This was heavily focused on Chinese cubers. Let's also not forget cubing isn't just 3x3. Yihengs performance on big cubes are below average whereas cubers like Max and Tymon are insanely good at broader range of cubing events

[@rax1899]

Yiheng is a 9 year old child, give him a few years

[@alisainwonderland.]

ok but what is the point of seperating genders in cubing? i feel like gender doesnt have anything to do with it and it just makes female cubers look less cabable

[@TriCubing]

you could argue the same thing with other sports like basketball, but it doesn’t make women less capable of things

[@alisainwonderland.]

@@TriCubing it doesnt but for basketball theres the physical difference which means that a man is objectively more cabable to do things ie. jump higher etc, theres nothing that makes men better in cubing so why should women only compete against women? whats the point of seperating them? what makes one gender objectively better?

[@TriCubing]

@@alisainwonderland. I can’t tell what would make boys have an advantage over girls, and i really hate to say it but overall there’s more boys faster than girls today, so it’s not really fair to them if you get what i mean. also we don’t separate them from normal competition, everything is run the same for both boys and girls so it’s not like girls are being mistreated in the community as well edit: and i really hope this doesn’t go into an argument, this is a pretty sensitive topic today for no reason

[@alisainwonderland.]

@@TriCubing im not arguing, i just want to talk about it. im gald that they are not seperated in the main competitions. and the reason for there being more boys that are fast is pretty simple, because there is more boys competing. if u think that ie. 1 in 100 ppl get good and there is 10000 ppl and 80% of them is boys (these numbers are just for explaining not real) then there is 100 good cubers and 80% is still boys. im not saying its wrong that majority is boys and im fine with it as long as they compete in same competitions with girls.
