Vicente Albíter Alpízar
2×2 · top 2.4% of 189,179 all-time · competing since December 2008 · 2008ALPI01
Vicente Albíter Alpízar has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.55, set at Mexican Open 2008, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 79th in Mexico. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since December 2008, he has put 151 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 76% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.74 in December 2008 to 15.15, a 27% improvement. Vicente has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
