Max Park's INSANE 3.13 3x3 World Record!

[@GreasedSwine]

Max totally deserves this. Only 1660 days between WR singles. 3.13 is just insane

[@idiot528]

1660 days is a lot and it is INSANE

[@EireCubing]

this record was so unexpected

[@table5584]

It was also a pretty big jump from 3.47 at a 0.34 second jump.

[@mango7231]

Considering it's Max, it really isn't. I really thought Yiheng was going to get it this year, but I'm glad Max got it since I really wanted him to get it.

[@sakuulcubing9583]

This comment is so wrong that in cringing

[@Henry_Martin]

Wait wat? I had no idea he got it... UNEXPECTED

[@wesleydvt]

not really lol

[@perplexedon9834]

With a jump this big I can't believe 2.xx is actually looking like it could happen within a few years

[@spacemario]

A lot of cubers have done it, but not in comp. Sooner or later we will have a sub 3 WR

[@Riptide314]

I guess in 3 years

[@flashraylaser157]

It will. And sub-4 averages are coming a little later too. I don't want to hear the naysayers. I've been hearing "yeah okay but this time we know better and have finally hit a barrier for real" since sub-8. Sub-4 averages are absolutely possible.

[@ninjaempire9093]

6 months max

[@milzambasith1250]

You could call it a sub-3

[@Orcmors]

If I remember correctly, 3.47 was back-sune into PLL skip. Now it's a back-fatsune into PLL skip. Really makes you wonder about the viability of alternate angle algs to save AUFs.

[@santhoshs9933]

Yeah it was back sune.

[@GalacticCubing]

First, also, Max Park is insane. 3.13 is very good, even at home, so it's crazy this happened. Your world record prediction video was only a week away, so even if the prediction seemed like there would be no way, it was almost correct.

[@l0vergirll]

Absolutely insane how Yusheng Du's record stood for 5 years. I was very active in the community when he set it, but after leaving for some time, I expected it to have been lowered multiple times to even under 3 seconds. Under 4 seconds truly is a legendary task that few have done officially.

[@thetwistedcube]

Insane execution! Great breakdown too!😁

[@chefnurserachel4045]

I watched this because I thought I’d understand how to solve a cube, and now I’m more confused and in awe.

[@Drazil100]

Don't feel too bad. I have known how to solve a cube since I was a kid using the beginner method. I still can't comprehend how people get this good. I am presently trying to learn CFOP and there are a combined 16 different algorithms I need to memorize to do the beginner friendly 2-look OLL/PLL (the 2 steps required to solve the last layer). The advanced single-look version of CFOP has a combined 78 different algorithms you have to memorize for OLL/PLL.

[@cameronprior1144]

​@@Drazil100I have spent 12 years solving cubes and have used CFOP for most of that time and I still don't think I ever had every OLL and PLL alg remembered at once. I almost always struggled with identifying the G-Perms as well as a bunch of the OLLs while solving and have used a hybrid of 2 look and full CFOP. Shits hard man. I peaked at a 13.7 second PLL skip and can't be bothered trying to get any better. I just stick with my janky "3 Look" method and don't bother timing myself anymore, I just do it kill time or keep my brain active.

[@Drazil100]

@@cameronprior1144 Took me a full day of nonstop solving but I managed to learn 2 look... Now I just need to do it enough that it becomes second nature and I can start attempting to learn single look. Any recommendations on what to start with when I get there?

[@JohnSmith-cg3cv]

@@cameronprior1144 lol same exactly for me. Got a 12.5 best at home and can’t be bothered to improve. But DGCubes, a cuber KZbinr, was once asked “has speedcubing given helped you in life at all?” He said no, other than learning Multi Blind because it helps so much with memorizing things in the real world, apparently. I don’t think non-blind cubing is actually good for your brain. It’s literally just recognition and muscle memory. There’s very little actual “thinking” involved. You’d be better off trying to solve many hard math problems or reading something to stimulate your brain.

[@cornhead6873]

​@@Drazil100 definetly start with PLL, 2 look OLL can be done very fast as setting up the yellow cross usually only takes 6 moves, 2 look PLL takes up way more time compared to OLL + PLL only has 21 algs compared to the 57 (?) from OLL so its easier to learn as well

[@MazezCubing]

I have a group chat with a bunch of cubers. And when the record was broken, the whole group went crazy!

[@focusfrets3668]

I was the judge and the table was shaking like 150+ people were gathered around and so many phones and it was crazy

The best solution Ive seen from max so far

[@clementtucker3519]

for sq-1 adj corner parity, hold the block on the right and do /(3,0)/(3,0)(2,0) and then finish like normal edge parity alg

[@bimpa1568]

Nice, now I can quit cubing forever and still know the 3x3 Wr single time

[@samueljehanno]

Wait until it is beaten again 😅

[@baakawarrior]

​@@samueljehanno this is gonna take ages to break

[@unnamedchannelowouwu]

​@@baakawarrior not this time, we're in a age where we have a lot of good cubers and we've never had so many sub4 singles, I beat someone is gonna break it this year or in the first half of 2024

[@bimpa1568]

@@unnamedchannelowouwu I mean its possible, but I highly doubt it. I don't doubt that Tymon and Yiheng are likely to break the previous 3.47 wr very soon, but this is a big jump for a single. For the record to be broken soon it would literally have to be like a stackmat pb5 for one of the top 5 cubers in the world. I think this one stands for longer than the previous one, but I would love to be proven wrong

[@eunjoochoi6322]

Guys notice the length of the video.

[@Wmann]

History has been made! Some of us probably knew that Max would beat the record, but oh wow isn’t 3.13 a pretty neat number.

[@Adi_Cubes]

First Tbh, with so few sub-4s, it was very unlikely that the solve would be just within the 3.4x range, i knew that it would b a big jump, :) Edit: 3rd :(

[@creativebuilders1117]

3rd

[@cubedcommunities_mn3242]

So cool that you make predictions like that!!!

[@lucahermann3040]

3.134 is just 0.00759... seconds off perfection.

[@UnblackBlinkNightcore]

When the WR is 3.13 but the length of the video is 3.12

[@BenTheCuber]

I like how sevearal cubing KZbinrs rushed to reconstruct this solve as fast as possible😂

[@monkeypalma1310]

Hey cube master check the first story of you saying to predict the wr and I said 3.13 Max Park what an insane prediction

[@gamingwithkacper]

I found it damn that was accurate

[@OlgaFyodorova]

I'm always happy to see cubing records with clever solutions. I'm so bad at planning that most of my planned xcrosses end up in mediocre times because it's too much for my poor head to hold :) Do you know which cube Max used? Was it the Tornado?

[@thewhiterook1010]

its the tornado v3 flagship

[@OlgaFyodorova]

@@thewhiterook1010 nice, thanks!

[@garnerthecube]

Yeah, a lot of the time that I make a seemingly complicated xx-cross or something, it ends up taking too long and is an average time solve 😝

[@Conning157]

FINALLY! The world record was broken! An of course it was Max Park! (the GOAT!)

[@advikrajaani]

Look who broke the 3.47 record- after 5 years- MAX PARK. GOAT GOAT GOAT

[@sloth9093]

I got 5.41 on the scramble and found the same solution, took me 20 minutes to downsolve to 3.91 I have no clue how anyone gets 3.13 first try with comp nerves

and I over here don't get how you get 5.41

Amazing solution by max park...But at last F2L pair he could have inserted differently and oriented all of his yellow edges which results in sune case and y perm...but since it wasn't pll skip,congrats to him for solving in that way and getting world record...😅😅😅🎉🎉🎉

Good luck to any speed cubers who wants to break this new world record

Crazy solve. I really hate people who say that the scramble was just lucky.. imagine an amateur sitting there and soling it in 20 seconds like me. You wouldn’t say it’s lucky You need lots of skills like look-ahead and knowledge of different concepts like pseudoslotting for this to work out so well. Sorry but I needed to say this to all jealous people who can’t respect amazing speedcubers.
