Vyacheslav Melnikov

2×2 · top 83.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since March 2015 · 2015MELN01

Vyacheslav Melnikov has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 11.71, set at Ural Winter 2017, puts him in the top 83.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,889th in Russia. Across 6 competitions since March 2015, he has put 50 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 19% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:14.00 in March 2015 to 50.22, a 32% improvement. Vyacheslav has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
