Yuki Tsuneyoshi (恒吉優紀) has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 17.54, set at Tokyo BLD Spring 2026, puts him in the top 0.76% of the 12,334 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3rd in Japan. Until July 2018, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since April 2023, he has put 198 official solves on the record across twelve events.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
