Jim Oscares has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.03, set at Bataan Speedcubing Open 2018, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 167th in the Philippines. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2016, he has put 86 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.48 in April 2016 to 9.61, a 34% improvement. Jim has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
