yall just remember cubing is a young persons thing. what I mean by that, is that kids tend to have little to almost no responsibilities, their brains can think about cubing all day and night for years if they wanted
That’s not the main reason, though it’s one of them, the neuroplasticity is the biggest factor allowing them to much more easily memorize and recall algorithms, basically they can be finely tuned to cubing much more then an older person
He's from China... If he is doing his normal school duties this simply isn't true. If he is in a "private" school that has a lot of leeway in what he does, though, I could see it being the case.
@ripterdusk4736big cube efficiency is not like you think, i average less moves than max and nahm (i've counted moves on average solves before) but im not world class or anything
A sub-5 official ao100 is crazy impressive and I can't wait to see what's yet to come. Never count out Tymon though. He was even practicing ZBLS in between judging 2x2 last comp and will be prepared for Worlds. They both will put on a spectacle for us. PS: Congrats on 20k subs!

yihengs coach has stated that yiheng will not be learning zb as his transition from oll to pll is way too fast for him to save really any time because he will still have to recognize the zb and execute the alg faster than oll and pll which for him is very hard
'Yiheng's coach has stated..,' Source, link? Unless or until Yiheng actually learns ZB.., and practises it for a prolonged period of time to the same level as his OLL, PLL, it would be tough to say for sure if it wound make him faster, though it should, setting recognition times aside for a second. What we do know is that at least ZBLL in and of itself itself saves several moves over OLL, PLL. Recognition is the slightly unknown factor but it may take a fraction of a second longer than say OLL on it's own and Maybe be a similar time to OLL and PLL combined. But again at least we know ZBLL saves moves and we know people like Tymon and others are benefitting from using it over OLL and PLL. So my guess is it would save Yiheng a small fraction of a second overall and every fraction of a second that can be saved can make a big difference! I know very little about ZBLS! So that might impact his time negatively over his current insert preferences. His coach may think Yiheng doesn't need to learn, utilise ZB now as no one can touch him time wise, but the future may be a different ball game. Watch this space! 🙂👍
0:20 not to be rude, just educational. most polish words are accented on the second syllable to the last. obviously the same rule applies to last names so if you'd like to pronounce them correctly (again, i'm not judging, just letting you know) it should sound more like plesk-oh-vich, not plesko-vich. like tymon's last name kolasinski, it's pronounced kola-sin-ski which everyone tends to accent correctly, but his first name tymon - accenting on the "mon" syllable which actually should be accented at the "ty" syllable
Interesting topic. For Big Cubes, almost everyone has eventually switched to Yau, but I think Max Park still uses Redux for 5x5 and up (and he's still at the top)
The kid is 11. It's not too late to learn a new method, the question is whether learning that new method will help him win _now._ If it won't, it's probably best to avoid the possibility of confusion from cross-training, and taking the edge off his main strat that is already dialed in. When he's no longer winning enough this way, he'll switch. This is like complaining some prodigy musician hasn't learned a certain technique yet. Maybe they just don't need it yet.

To answer your question about how these cubers are created: Antoine Cantin (I think it was him) made a video showing Xuanyi Geng and Yiheng Wang planning as many F2L pairs as possible from inspection. Xuanyi was rather consistently getting cross +4, so Antoine asked his mother how he practiced. The answer was that in China they have Rubik's Cube schools.
@@CommercialSwine ??? In what universe is it obvious that they have dedicated, in-person academies for cubing in a country that, like stucube mentioned, we know very little about? You high or just slow?

great video. every year we think this is a plateau and it is not... starting to think there will be a time when one look F2L + 1LLL will be the standard for world's top 10.
There were what felt like odd ommissions in the summary at the beginning. You obviously know who won each worlds, but to a random who was given this video by the algorithm, I have no idea, and while I am pretty sure I can infer from "he wasn't just the favorite, he was the fan favorite, it wasnt that he was simply going to win, it was that he deserved it" I feel like he DID in fact win, but I don't know for sure. Did the Thai child defeat the teenager in an upset or did the expected result play out. Doesn't really take away from the overall point, but from a storytelling perspective, you gotta include those details, because it's too many "wait, what?"s in quick succession right at the beginning. Edit: Ok well Im subscribing anyway because Im hoping you have videos on all these algorithms because they also sound interesting but it is appropriate to not have included them here as simply understanding what an algorithm is, which most do or will pick up from context clues, allows one to understand why Yiheng will be usurped almost inevitably. You should make a follow up though or maybe something like this is already on your channel (and I could probably google the following question verbatim) but why is Yiheng's combination of algorithms conclusively slower than the CFOP(?) method? You mentioned turning, which clearly is going to radically affect speed to a point (are there stats on if different methods have, and it would be best to look at tiers of cubing separately, different average turning frequencies? Is there data on specific turns?) And then also, why can't Yiheng learn CFOP? Does it take too long to develop the muscle memory? I am sure he understands or his coaches understand the manner it which it is superior, and obviously as long as Yiheng is winning, there is no reason to get in his way. But if he started to lose, then surely they would attempt the switch?
yall forgetting yiheng can pretty much plan full cross and f2l in inspection. if he turned at his max tps in that and learned a little bit a zb he is never getting beat
Thats just for specifically the records page. If put the home page url into the wayback machine it will have some way older versions of the website with all of its pages
Watch Penn and Tellers documentary about magic in China I cant remember the name rn but they are different over there. Its about a school dedicated to learning magic. Theres a kid in that video that throws a vase on his head and balances it for some juggeling act but he does it so much he has a big dent on his head from where the vase lands all day. I would assume Yiheng goes through a similar training in wich case who knows how fast he can get.
Speed over efficiency wins when it is really only two or three moves more, especially if it takes less brainpower too. I think the leaderboards show a pretty normal sequence of very fast times. I don't see this 'new generation' crushing the old records suggesting the 'old WC algo methods' are outdated now.
Didn't Felix use CFOP in 2011 and 2013? If so, then Yiheng and CFOP might well last another 10 years as well. Turning speed, look ahead, hardware, predicting steps, x-cross, etc. - those are all ways to keep improving without needing tonnes of new algs.
True. With over 20TPS, ~45 turn would take less than 2.5 sec. With luck and dedication, some people will be able to do this. (Certainly I'm not one of them...)
Yiheng has learned ZBLL at least in part and may also be learning ZBLS. We haven't seen him employ this combination in comp yet asaik, but there is nothing stopping him from learning and using it in future comps when he is ready. The best way to know what his average of 5.., are at home is ask him, or ask him to record them or fly over to his house and video him solving, do interviews... 🙃🙂👍
speedcubenz did a podcast with antoine cantin and dylan miller discussing chinese speedcubing that's pretty informative about how big cubing is in China, it's literally in the school curriculum in many places, not to mention the hundreds (if not thousands) of cubing schools
A while ago Tymon talked about how in world champs they should change the average of 5 in finals to something bigger like average of 12 or 25. According to him this would be a better decider for who’s really the best in the world. Although that’s correct, I think an average of 5 has a good mix of skill, luck and nerve control that makes world champs the perfect amount of excitement, as it will still be quite unpredictable who wins. Whereas any set bigger than ao5, Yiheng would basically be guaranteed to win (as long as he’s doesn’t completely collapse under the pressure), which would be boring. So because it’s just one ao5 I don’t think Worlds finals is as predictable as people are saying, especially how good someone like Tymon tends to do under pressure
The timeline in the introduction of the video (1-2 minutes) was a little too convoluted to me. I'm a non competitive cuber so I'm familiar with all the terminology but not the personalities and tournaments, and found it hard to follow along. In short, video did not feel accessible to non-cubers.
14 years later, i finally understand that grumpy woman who told me that's a game for kids.
she was actually right.
Y’all seem to be forgetting that yiheng can still learn full zb whenever

Suppose Yiheng's max TPS ends up being around 20+ TPS. The two extra moves he does over Tymon will only cost him 0.1 seconds, and considering no-one else has his lookahead or TPS, that 0.1 second isn't going to cause him any issues.

Yiheng has learned ZBLL at least in part and may also be learning ZBLS. We haven't seen him employ this combination in comp yet asaik, but there is nothing stopping him from learning and using it in future comps when he is ready.
The best way to know what his average of 5.., are at home is ask him, or ask him to record them or fly over to his house and video him solving, do interviews... 🙃🙂👍
I know
The coach of these kids are their parents
hey goat
Nah you the real mvp
speedcubenz did a podcast with antoine cantin and dylan miller discussing chinese speedcubing that's pretty informative about how big cubing is in China, it's literally in the school curriculum in many places, not to mention the hundreds (if not thousands) of cubing schools
No it isn’t lmao?
A while ago Tymon talked about how in world champs they should change the average of 5 in finals to something bigger like average of 12 or 25. According to him this would be a better decider for who’s really the best in the world.
Although that’s correct, I think an average of 5 has a good mix of skill, luck and nerve control that makes world champs the perfect amount of excitement, as it will still be quite unpredictable who wins. Whereas any set bigger than ao5, Yiheng would basically be guaranteed to win (as long as he’s doesn’t completely collapse under the pressure), which would be boring.
So because it’s just one ao5 I don’t think Worlds finals is as predictable as people are saying, especially how good someone like Tymon tends to do under pressure
Tymon is not the most efficient cuber because of methods like roux and my average move count is 49 since i use roux
Its only a matter of time for the first sub 3 single and the first sub 4 avg...
what happened to max park
The timeline in the introduction of the video (1-2 minutes) was a little too convoluted to me. I'm a non competitive cuber so I'm familiar with all the terminology but not the personalities and tournaments, and found it hard to follow along.
In short, video did not feel accessible to non-cubers.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll work on that
lol the quote in the description
So the CFOP Method is becoming an old school method?
1 year ago I was dreaming of getting wr, now...
