Victor Salas has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.02, set at Mairena Open 2026, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1st in Venezuela. Until December 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since March 2024, he has put 381 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 54% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.60 in March 2024 to 7.21, a 38% improvement. Victor has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
