Skewb · top 2.9% of 73,281 all-time · competing since September 2022 · 2022ARIZ03
Kyson Arizala has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.51, set at Hawaii Championship 2026, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 437th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since September 2022, he has put 217 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 58% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 33.53 in September 2022 to 14.43, a 57% improvement. Kyson has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
