Reminds me of Tymon's 4.86 as well. Tymon solved very well in the last solve and it wasnt his fastest time just like how Yiheng's last solve wasn't his fastest although it was very fast

I've been saying this for a while and I think it's becoming more and more clear: Yiheng is a cuber unlike we've ever seen before. He learned cubing at such an early age that he probably has muscle development in his fingers that isn't possible to develop when you start cubing at a later age. On top of that, my theory is that he learned cubing like a small child learns a language. Small children don't even really have to try to learn the language, they just hear it around them, and then they can speak it easily. in Yiheng's case, he learned cubing this way. He learned cubing at such an early age to the point where his brain specifically molded itself to optimize itself for cubing pattern recognition, turning consistency, alg memorization, and other things important for cubing. It might be possible to recreate Yiheng but he most certainly has set a new standard for how the fastest speed cubers can be created: They must grow up with a cube in their hands.

Well there's been other Chinese kid's prodigy even younger than Yiheng like Xuanyi Geng and Bofan Zhang who can consistenly solve 3x3 in sub 6 average. If there's someone who can catch Yiheng domination i think those two in the future if they can improve and develop well, i mean they're even slightly better than Yiheng at the same age

Assuming he had a 0.12 lockup on each of those two solves, he would have gotten a hypothetical 4.28 World Record Average. He would have had to get a 0.21 lockup on each attempt to tie Feliks Zemdegs’ 4.22 former World Record Single as an average.

@thecalculatedcreativecoder14289 күн бұрын
I think he will break it in a few months. He has a 3.79 ao5 on cam which is about 15% less than this so he has the potential, but he stopped practicing so that he could break the 2x2 WR, and now that he broke that I think we will see the true Yiheng come out. I think sub 4 average by the end of this year is possible for him.

Also another comment about for 36:20, most competitions in China actually require to apply to be a judge for a competition, and this requires you to be vetted by the organisers or some even to take a competition judge course and pass a certification.

Absolute banger video. There are two things I really liked and want to talk about. 1. Love how Luke mentions that language barrier is why he can't get a Chinese coach. Also want to mention, that is also a huge reason why the "secret" chinese coaching methods aren't well known outside China. (And yes, ofc they try to keep it secret, and there are other reasons as well) 2. I love the talk about timers and the bidding process to become the official timer for a certain contract. It'd kind of be like a lot of other sports. For example, the NBA has companies sign contracts to be the one making the official balls as well as official jerseys. And in cubing, it'd be even more necessary, as if people want to actually simulate competition, they would have to own the official timer. One thing I would have to add, it would have to be absolutely important for WCA to have people verify the accuracy of the timers. Also gotta mention the money could be used to grow the WCA.
