Hua Huang (黄华) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 19.72, set at Guilin Open 2025, puts him in the top 0.046% of the 85,040 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8th in China. Until June 2017, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since February 2018, he has put 621 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 57% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 8.64 in February 2018 to 6.07, a 30% improvement. Hua has entered 25 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
