Marcello Severo

2×2 · top 8.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2015 · 2015SEVE01

Marcello Severo has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.50, set at MVCS Spring 2017, puts him in the top 8.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,497th in the United States.

Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. Marcello has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
