Erik Akkersdijk 5x5x5 single (former) WR 1:13.22

[jlspma]

what did you use pre-cube era for the 5x5x5?

[partyman147]

... Imagine how fast he does 3 x 3..

[kashas6]

no...

[jstaab1]

he looks like hes gonna rage break the cube at 1:05 lol lol!!!

[mitchellolol]

i can't even solve the 3x3 in 1:13 seconds...

[JostleCubed]

@TheComputerNerd5 More like the cube jammed and he didn't want it to explode.

[xRzTHD]

geklemt :D

[Loga1219]

Is that a v-cube? I'm asking cause mine is crap :(

[DocRictofen]

i want to yell "RUBIKS CUBES ARE GAY!" at one of these competitions just to see people's reactions. I love rubiks cubes, so don't go sayin' i'm hatin the cube

[Kittani1977]

If I tried moving my 4x4 and 5x5's like that they would explode... literally. You must get no parities, be able to recognize and prevent them early, or have custom algorithms that prevent them from even happening. Good job no matter the case.

[JostleCubed]

@Kittani1977 Because parity is so hard to deal with?

[Kittani1977]

@JostleCubed Not because it is hard to deal with, but because depending on what type of case you get it can add enough moves to the solution to eat up time. Same idea as when you get a pll skip on a 3x3x3 leading to abnormally short times. I always record my times with a "#" if I get some sort of skippage of a move, or a "*" if I have a parity case and figure those into my average and mean times. It can add up fast.

[ZayaSkates]

damn it takes me like a year to do one of those

[AIZEN1401]

my record is 4.3 ......years

[Jenster191]

this guy has waaay too much time on his hands.

[Glitschka]

i bet he jammed the cube, reassambled it and BOOM world record xD haha ;D but seriously, that guy is legend.. wait for it.. DARY!

[anthcybo]

Some Australian kid stole all of your world records :(

[fireamor1]

damn rubiks cube fail but that guy is awesome

[QcCuber4]

@fireamor1 what are you saying? Rubik's cubes are fucking sweet...

[Mrpeanutwaffle]

He failed for 4 seconds at the end ==D

[BIGJAC2699]

@Mrpeanutwaffle Wasnt his fault, the cube got jammed. ]:

[skatercuber4life]

yay! now im not the only one who dosn't use the free slice on E tredge pairing method. 2 gen rules! And I can now see the potential it has, thanks.

[XcammufcX]

omg!

[cheezkillah1]

the 4 people that dislike this must have a jammed brain or something...

[IPwnAllAndLeaveNone]

Heres a little tip for speed cubing:

if you get a lockup for over a second, stop forcing the cube to turn in that direction, and turn it 3 times in the other direction (or turn it two times if the move you were supposed to make was R2,U2, etc)

[StefanHRasmussen]

It was more a pop than a lockup..

[IPwnAllAndLeaveNone]

@StefanHRasmussen

I know, but I was just saying

[coasterfinatic11]

dang! HUGE lockup! worse than I get on my rubiks!

[apuya24]

that WAS a bad lockup. that's still pretty sick though, faster than my 3x3 time lol

[slipknot666maddin]

Holy... thats the time I have for 3x3 :D

[ham10444]

that was crazy at the end

[lizjackson111]

shutup

[ham10444]

wow what did i say you are a stupid faggit

[callum444121]

using my method to solve the fasted i can get it just 3 and a half minutes.

does anybody know the name of his method?

[UKSpeedCuber]

Do you do centers,, then edge pairing then solve as a 3x3?

If so, you use the same method as him.

It's called the Reduction Method.

[lizjackson111]

that's such a stupid question to ask

[UKSpeedCuber]

How is it?

[callum444121]

yea thats what i do. i cant imagine ever solving it that fast using that method

[UKSpeedCuber]

If you have good look ahead then the edge pairing can be done very fast.

[aceoferasing]

its a stupid and not stupid question. its stupid because if you were watching the video you could see him obviously doing the center and edges. its not stupid because some people do different 5x5 methods

[UKSpeedCuber]

@aceoferasing

You do realise I was replying to someone who wanted to know if they use the same method...

[ThomasDemko]

the stuffed up part at the end should not count for shit

[rueisl8423]

why? what happens during the stuffed up part?

[themamisboys]

me gusto mucho tu video, y te queria preguntar como aprendiste a armar el cubo si fue practica o es una habilidad innata tuya.

[danigailer]

it's time to make some new WR now you're holding "just "2 or 3 you had 6

[ben1996123]

WR now is 1:07.25 :-(

[thahost]

wow he did that in just over a minute. it would take me years to do that with him sitting next to me telling me what to do

[asiahyoo1997]

pop

[blssdfall27]

Yeah!

[MrMernico]

[BSimmons27]

amazing, too bad you had a big lockup. i wonder when somebody will beat the record.

[TheThirdGerman]

It would take me days to solve that  loloollolol

[911ddestroyer]

[krazyfk]

Bring your own I think.

[RookieN08]

[Kirochi80]

nice solve!

[swedishmailman]

Wow, that really sucks about the lockup.

[Kuziri]

Stop with the stupid Yu is better then Erik and Erik is better then Yu >__> They are both Awsome!

[zielaczek]

screw nakajima !! ERIK is the MAN!

[skrew86]

XDDDDDDDDD

[xkoopa007x]

ok fellow cuber, respect all his rivals. If u "screw one of them", it means you're screwing him too. Plz respect all speed cubers, its very difficult to solve these things under pressure and a certain amount of time.

[zielaczek]

ok fellow cuber i didint say that i dont respect him i just said screw him coz its Eriks vid so why someone mentioned him here ?

[LNOL]

It's called constructive comparison. And saying screw you is disrespectful.

[Chaotischesneutrales]

Right lets give everyone respect and keep our negative opinions to ourselves. LOL. And no it is not difficult.

[8472HeMan8472]

very good solve! :-)

[skrew86]

NAKAJIMA RULESSSSSS!!!

[ratedrsuperstar89]

yes he does but right now erik rules XD

[Orion87PL]

Nakajima = master of unofficial solves :P Erik Rules :)

[skrew86]

Nakajima dont' play ALL open ;)

[xkoopa007x]

yeh, he has a life other than cubing, college at 17 I believe. (in japan)

[Kuziri]

Awsome!

[BARCAkit]

very good Erik!

[edw0010]

Dude you are my idol!!

[cyotheking]

Wow that was amazing man

[ganseki22]

Good solve though !

Wich edge pairing do you use ?

COngrats

[raramstad]

2 at a time. He had a tutorial, I'm not sure if it's still on youtube though.

[Shmekekey]

wow! great job, erik :]
