Shuai Hu (胡帅) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.34, set at Dalian Open 2018, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 120th in China. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since May 2017, he has put 195 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 8% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 3.77 in May 2017 to 2.91, a 23% improvement. Shuai 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.
