Matias Aaron Lucero Monsalve
Skewb · top 8.6% of 73,281 all-time · competing since January 2024 · 2024MONS03
Matias Aaron Lucero Monsalve has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.64, set at UFRO al Cubo 2026, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 33rd in Chile. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since January 2024, he has put 115 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 51.00 in January 2024 to 12.15, a 76% improvement. Matias has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
