A video about fake solves 

Daniel underperforms in comp because he puts a lot of pressure on himself by sharing his times. The fact these guys are making it worse by saying he needs to prove himself in comp or he's fake does not help at all. The UK is great though, we'll look after him :)

didn’t even know about this until now, I think the difference between comp performance and at home performance is sooooo important in cubing rn, it can be so hard to get a good result officially when you really want it. The key is not caring. Hoping to see some awesome official results from ppl like Daniel and elyas, I’m sure it will happen very soon!

I see what you're trying to say here, and I guess I can partly agree. Underperforming in a competition is definitely easy to pull off, I guess it's just a matter of time to see what Daniel will do in the future

In my opinion discussions like this are unesacary. Home solves don't matter at all and they never did so even if Daniel was fake why should we care(I don't think he is). Daniel and other fast young pyraminxers (elyas) have no reason to be fake their home solves and these arguments are often started by one thing and that's ego. If anyone in wr10 posted this average no one would've batter an eye. I'm very proud of Daniel making history even if it's unofficial, he is the future of the event and no one is going to convince me otherwise.

I must admit watching that convo unfold during the Essex Winter comp (with a bunch of other UK cubers including Daniel himself) was quite funny as you see AlexM (cant remember last name) go on about how Dylan is just scared lol, but I know for certain that Daniel is capable of those times if he doesnt put too much pressure on himself.

I love how they call elyas sus when he literally has a ton of video evidence proving he's world class Edit: great video btw

Daniel is an absolute monster. Big things coming soon.

i dont really think daniel has been faking solves, performing well in a short event like pyra is not easy at all, so i dont think having a 2.35 PR avg and averaging 1.7/1.8 is so unrealistic, especially if, like daniel, you started competing this year. about the average, it is true that getting 1.03 and 1.07 on the 3rd and 4th solves is really insane, i average 2.2 globally but i dont think i could get those times on that scrambles even with multiple attemps, but daniel has a way better turning than me so those times could be legit. on the other hand, the 1st and 5th are way more reasonable and basically 100% legit i hope this average and the rest of daniel's times arent fake, if he really improved so much in pyra in such a short time he could very well become one of the greatest in the world and get great results in comp as well

shoutout daniel partridge, genuinely my favourite cuber

Wait there's a pyra cubers discord that I'm not in? Anyways, I really like this video, faking times is really easy to do and essentially comes down to trust and integrity. In the cubing community I think there's enough of this to be able to trust most people on what they can do unofficially.

First time to know this and the DC server for the pyraminxers, I think it's not fake because I think he really can done those solve in that time, and he also has much practice. (Just like your video say. BTW, does that server have some criteria to get in? Like world ranking or something?)

Being someone who has been sitting next to him in a pyra round, his turning speed (cameras don't do it justice) and the fact he definitely does better at home gives me no doubt he can get a sub-1 average with enough luck

Brilliant video, you make all the right points.

Ok fine I admit it all my 7x7 world records are fake

whoa high quality commentary video yay

I personally don’t think it’s fake, ive been in several calls with daniel where he’s proven he gets sub-1 often enough to give credibility and even talking to him in competitions and watching him solve officially it’s simple competition pressure and nerves that seem to best him (a few timer fails but hey) a few competitions down the line once he realises he’s got nothing to worry i believe he will crank out a world record

I agree with you

bear in mind dan's only been to like 10 comps so he hasn't had a chance to get these crazy averages yet

Lots of people have competition nerves like I average low 10 at home on 3x3 but get 11 and 13 averages in comp

"5 move layer and a T perm - 26 TPS?" Me using a 10 move T perm (sledge R U2' R' U sledge):

great video!

love this video

I'm not too good at pyra but as someone who's been called out by faking by a prominent solver, I feel like I have some basis to speak here. First of all, saying that because some dumb ass kid "faked" a 19 or 20 move 2x2 scramble is not a fair comparison. Second of all, calling out dyco is kind of uncool, as it's fair to have some suspicion, especially considering how unlikely it'd be to have that scramble set in the same ao5, let alone perform at peak performance on all of them. I definitely have some suspicion around a few clock solvers, and it really doesn't matter what they get at home to determine their skill. The way I proved my legitimacy having a shit official average is to have people see me solving in regular conditions. Finally, your point among individual singles doesn't mean that it is feasible to get them in succession. If I pulled a 2.3 clock average out of my ass because I can get those times on 8 movers, doesn't mean that it is real. Looking back at some of his discord messages, there is definitely a decent amount of suspicion to be raised but it's difficult to say for sure. I'm kind of leaning towards fake but I'm also not that good at pyra so I don't have the best understanding of this event.

i agree that someone with an 8 average cannot get 26 tps (also him agreeing it was fake) is fake, but if you look at my profile i have a 5.37 average in comp, that was done in october last year and i am pretty comfortably sub 3 with full cll now (also i plus twoed 3 solves in the 5 average, but asides from the point).

Me with a 5 official 2x2 average:

he just got a Ao5 thats .02 of the wr

Lmao I know that Heych perm guy, he may or may not have a 5 second 3x3 single but I'm not sure its real

no daniel porridge wouldnt

Plot twist: every 3x3 solve in the vid was faked 😀

Also, y would you cheat in fkin pyra looool

first
