Victor Ebubechukwu Tobechukwu Asiwe has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.55, set at Johannesburg Open 2016, puts him in the top 9.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7th in Nigeria. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since November 2014, he has put 135 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.13 in November 2014 to 12.15, a 33% improvement. Victor 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.
