Takamasa Sugiura (杉浦隆将)

3×3 · top 8.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2018 · 2018SUGI02

Takamasa Sugiura (杉浦隆将) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.49, set at Japan Championship 2019, puts him in the top 8.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 386th in Japan. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2018, he has put 65 official solves on the record across one event. 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 3×3 best has come down from 14.06 in December 2018 to 10.49, a 25% improvement. Takamasa has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
