4:14 "there are really no major advancements past full ZB that can be made" seems like a quote from speedrunner in a SummoningSalt video right before the song changes For real though - I think from what we know today, this seems logical. But it's a very bold prediction to make. Maybe in the far future (10-50 years) we might see a new method invented that is completely different than CFOP that reduces the whole solve to two 15 move algorithms. Maybe Roux solvers make some big breakthrough that completely changes cubing forever. Maybe there will be a hardware change or rule change that changes everything. Overall - great video! Keep it up
I think part of what made world champions isolated in the first place was that cubing has historically been a sport focusing heavily on the individual and not the community. It'll be interesting to see how the next few years unfold
I don't think it's easy to predict the future of cubing. ZBLL might seem optimal, but there are so many other potential ways to improve. Some top cubers are nearly able to fully plan out F2L, there might be more sophisticated ways to use things like keyhole, look ahead is always important and there might be ways to optimise that, etc. Imagine executing F2L and, while it's happening, being able to predict the LL and execute it straight away. They might even be able to plan multiple solution paths and pick one where the LL is a good case, etc. It's also hard to say what the ceiling of other methods like Roux are. Or maybe some more advanced variant of ZZ where you somehow guarantee an OLL or PLL skip. Also, I think these young Chinese cubers are not just well-trained, they're clearly very intelligent and fast learners, so who knows what they'll come up with over the next few years. Someone had to come up with Roux, maybe one of them will develop a new method.
Wow your videos are getting more and more intense as we get closer to the world championships 2025 which is really interesting and fun to watch! Really appreciate the content, keep it up man! 🔥🔥
I learnt the beginners method 1 week ago. Now I’m trying to learn the CFOP method. The way these people solve it so fast is mind blowing. I hope to be this good one day. My current best time is 1 minute 49 seconds. My AO5 is 2 minutes 1 second.
This video assumes that ZB is the best method which it probably isn’t. Currently roux beats it out in most metrics and ZZ is probably better due to having the benefits of EO during F2L. APB has some potential and also shows that we can still develop more advanced methods. Also OS methods aren’t utilised at all right now and will probably become more popular.
great video but i disagree that there isn't further optimization past zb. in the first world championship in 1982, nobody would predict that you could use cfop to solve a cube in 7 algorithms. now we have optimized that to 6. it's possible that somebody will have a revolutionary idea that blows zb out of the water. im not saying it's likely, just that it's possible.
everything changed when cubing became a way to flex to your aunties.
As a Asian I agree.

The future is the Heise method.

bro did YiHeng dirty in the thumbnail 😂
There was a darker aspect concerning those Chinese kids' parents as well, but I highly doubt you would ever make a video about it.
Anyway, good video.
Im backkkkkk for that weekly cubing vid now
Love your videos! You are way too underrated! Keep up the great work! 🔥
WAKE UP NEW STUCUBE VID JUST DROPPED💯🔥

3:00 thats what we thought in chess
The champions/ best cubers always change so quickly and they are so young and from everywhere!!! 😮
we cookwd

my brother thought Yihang wang hade a 4.03 second average
He’s he remembers a month from now
I have been thinking this for SO LONG THANK YOU SO MUCH STUCUBES FOR SAYING IT

The yiheng photo is crazy
will you do a 100k subs special
this is why they say "China number 1"
Really interesting!
knew like 0% of ts js like the finals im having next week
cant believe i didnt see this until now!
“He’s probably the reason your favorite cuber got into speedcubing in the first place”
Yes he said that in the video
1 hour
Hey Stu, you know what else is massive?
LOW TAPER FADE MEME
Iv never seenn a drawing of yiheng 😭
I'll come back to this comment in 2032 to see if China conquered speedcubing.
nice video
I have never been this early before.
