Johann Jr. Mecha
2×2 · top 7.3% of 189,179 all-time · competing since July 2019 · 2019MECH01
Johann Jr. Mecha has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.32, set at Central Visayas Championship 2025, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 275th in the Philippines. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since July 2019, he has put 118 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 21.55 in July 2019 to 2.32, an 89% improvement. Johann has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
