Joshua Gavin Azupardo
2×2 · top 4.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2016 · 2016AZUP01
Joshua Gavin Azupardo has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.92, set at Mindanao Championship 2019, puts him in the top 4.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 133rd in the Philippines. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2016, he has put 169 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.79 in April 2016 to 9.12, a 51% improvement. Joshua 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.
