Xuchen Xue (薛旭辰) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 4.58, set at Nanchang Summer 2026, puts him in the top 0.053% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 37th in China. Until May 2018, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 26 competitions since June 2023, he has put 378 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 10.28 in June 2023 to 4.58, a 55% improvement. Xuchen has entered 26 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
