Lion von Aspern

3×3 · top 8.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2024 · 2024ASPE01

Lion von Aspern has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.37, set at Rahn Education Open 2026, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 368th in Japan. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since March 2024, he has put 116 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.68 in March 2024 to 10.37, a 41% improvement. Lion has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
