Marcelo Makoto Araki Takechi has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.39, set at Brasília Autumn 2022, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 428th in Brazil. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2015, he has put 55 official solves on the record across one event.

His 3×3 best has come down from 19.25 in October 2015 to 10.39, a 46% improvement. Marcelo 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.
