Yusei Morihara (森原悠生)

3×3 · top 72.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2012 · 2012MORI07

Yusei Morihara (森原悠生) has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 36.05, set at West Japan Big Cube 2013, puts him in the top 72.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,439th in Japan. Across 6 competitions since October 2012, he has put 29 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:09.13 in October 2012 to 36.05, a 48% improvement. Yusei 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.
