Yiheng and Xuanyi - How far can they REALLY plan in inspection?

In this video I put Yiheng Wang and Xuanyi Geng to the test to see how far they can really plan within 15 seconds of inspection. The result completely blew me away!
Here are the scrambles used in this video:
1. F L2 B2 R D2 R D2 B2 D2 R2 B2 R U F R2 U B U' F2 R
2. R2 B' D F R2 B D2 R U L2 U2 R2 D2 F' R2 B2 R2 L2 U2

2:40 F2L + EO in 8 seconds of inspection… That is actually insane how is that even humanly possible

[@cuberious1419]

Can’t wait for new vid 🤣

[@oshiriyuko]

kids: 15 seconds full f2l prediction me: 0.01 seconds new stucube video prediction

[@Kortes1]

I would not say he inspected EO, it just happened by chance (1/8) 4 pairs is insane of course, and I have no idea what the hell is going on in his head, maybe he can see sth about EO, but i would say he did not inspect that in these solves (not manipulating edges with the last F2l and no EO alg after)

[@thecalculatedcreativecoder1428]

I can see the next vid already. The title is "We're doomed" with a pic of Xuanyi 😂😂😂

[@CewbPianist]

yeah it's debatable. If you look at the last f2l pair for the 2 solves where he completed EO, it looked like normal f2l solving could give you free EO. But again, could be wrong if somehow Xuanyi was already influencing EO earlier, but I doubt it.

I like how they Immediately start solving right after 12sec mark even if you tell them to fully use 15 sec😂 it’s in every speedcuber’s dna

[@icecreamcloud007]

In cubing 12 seconds basically mean start right now or DNF

As a person who averages 0 pairs with unlimited inspection, I see this as insanity. How is this even possible

[@MaximilianBerkmann]

Soon, the top method would be a 3-look or even 2-look one (either CFOP style or ZB style). That's absolutely mad to see a young kid getting 3-4 pairs consistently planned and done correctly in one look.

[@ezrashere]

Xuanyi looks like he's already doing 3 look for the most part and definitely getting very close to 2 look.

[@parabolaaaaa4919]

maybe but with good enough look ahead and tps it doesnt seem too necessary

[@MaximilianBerkmann]

@@ezrashere Yeah, I'm not surprised after seeing that video.

[@MaximilianBerkmann]

@@parabolaaaaa4919 Not when for those averaging 4s or below where even the smallest of pause can make a difference (similar to how in 2x2, you need to be able to 1-look the whole cube to compete at the highest level), especially with some world class competitors where it did make a difference like at the previous Worlds.

[@CompanionCube]

[@thecalculatedcreativecoder1428]

In the words of Tymon Kolasinski "I think that if Yiheng keeps up the improvement, he will be the best for quite a long time. I think Tymon will change his opinion when he sees this video 😂😂😂

[@CewbPianist]

yes absolutely agreed, efficiency and tps still matter with that said, I have to say Xuanyi isn't inefficient my any means. Xuanyi is very efficient, if he wasn't that efficient, he wouldn't be able to lookahead so far as the more moves you do, the harder it is to recognize. It's more so the other way, Yiheng has super crazy efficiency as well as crazy TPS and that is why he is faster at the moment.

[@hemmojito]

@@thecalculatedcreativecoder1428 Like Tymon. He was insanely efficient first and then upped the TPS.

[@thecalculatedcreativecoder1428]

@@hemmojitoThe difference is that Xaunyi's TPS will come with age. As he grows and his muscles develop, his hands will fit around the cube and he will turn faster. Tymon had to work to improve his TPS. Not saying Xaunyi won't have to work, but just saying that Xaunyi will naturally get quicker TPS.
