Alyssa Belle Yu has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.99, set at Visayas Championship 2026, puts her in the top 5.0% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 74th in the Philippines. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since July 2016, she has put 1,081 official solves on the record across twelve events.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
