Shunsuke Komoda (古茂田俊介)

3×3 · top 0.94% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2022 · 2022KOMO01

Shunsuke Komoda (古茂田俊介) has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.60, set at Kanto Spring 2025, puts him in the top 0.94% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 39th in Japan. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2022, he has put 160 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 8.52 in April 2022 to 6.60, a 23% improvement. Shunsuke has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
