Yuxuan Liu (刘宇轩) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.62, set at Beijing University Cube League 2025, puts him in the top 0.97% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 366th in China. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2024, he has put 104 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 81% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.27 in April 2024 to 6.62, a 36% improvement. Yuxuan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
