Ziyu Liu (刘子鱼) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 28.61, set at Zhengzhou Summer I 2025, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 200th in China. Until April 2012, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 1 competition since August 2025, he has put 10 official solves on the record across two events.

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.
