2×2 · top 9.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2019 · 2019MORI06

Masato Morita (森田真士) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.53, set at Japan Championship 2019, puts him in the top 9.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 127th in Japan. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since April 2019, he has put 71 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.52 in April 2019 to 2.53, a 61% improvement. Masato 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.
