James Jusay

2×2 · top 9.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2023 · 2023JUSA01

James Jusay has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.59, set at Super Duper San Diego 2024, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,865th in the United States.

His 3×3 best has come down from 29.52 in May 2023 to 11.61, a 61% improvement. James has entered 22 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
