Tatsuto Igarashi (五十嵐達人) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.22, set at Tohoku 2019, puts him in the top 8.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 352nd in Japan. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since January 2017, he has put 121 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 70% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.15 in January 2017 to 10.22, a 37% improvement. Tatsuto has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
