Malvyn Garcia
2×2 · top 5.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2016 · 2016GARC43
Malvyn Garcia has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.13, set at Singapore Cube Championship 2018, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 205th in the Philippines. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2016, he has put 103 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 40.97 in August 2016 to 9.80, a 76% improvement. Malvyn has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
