José Andrés Martínez Cabrera has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.03, set at Primma Cube Open 2026, puts him in the top 7.6% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 56th in Guatemala. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since December 2023, he has put 230 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 89% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.58 in December 2023 to 10.03, a 31% improvement. He has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
