Vicente Esteban Morales Salgado has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.87, set at Desafío Primavera Las Condes 2024, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4th in Chile. Until December 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2017, he has put 80 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 33.60 in April 2017 to 15.09, a 55% improvement. Vicente has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
