Luis Martínez
3×3 · top 5.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2016 · 2016MART69
Luis Martínez has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.26, set at Santa Tecla NxN 2021, puts him in the top 5.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 12th in El Salvador. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since September 2016, he has put 168 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 96% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.80 in September 2016 to 9.26, a 64% improvement. Luis has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
