Brantley Taylor has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.09, set at Florida Championship 2026, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 289,612 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,728th in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since September 2024, he has put 268 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.63 in September 2024 to 8.09, a 51% improvement. Brantley has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
