Rigel Yoshiro Martínez

2×2 · top 0.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023MART70

Rigel Yoshiro Martínez has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.15, set at Cube Central Yucatán 2024, puts him in the top 0.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 30th in Mexico. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 22 competitions since June 2023, he has put 489 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 8.89 in June 2023 to 1.15, an 87% improvement. Rigel has entered 22 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 2×2. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
