Bryan Villanueva

3×3 · top 3.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2016 · 2016VILL08

Bryan Villanueva has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.19, set at South Luzon Open 2019, puts him in the top 3.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 302nd in the Philippines. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2016, he has put 100 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.91 in March 2016 to 8.19, a 25% improvement. Bryan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
