Seath Margatinez has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.26, set at General Santos City Open 2020, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 33rd in the Philippines. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since June 2017, he has put 348 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 21.97 in June 2017 to 7.80, a 64% improvement. Seath 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.
