#cubing #speedcubing Rubik’s cube cheating scandal

[BrandonWong]

Considering this is probably the longest ban of a competitor in the WCA, perhaps Kalindu got a WR after all.

[pandahhh]

Next video will be yihengs 0.78, calling it rn

[BenTheCuber]

Nice video! Your analogy for the 12 move cross + 4 free pairs into an LL skip sounds like JPerm's OOPS method on a whole other level.

[RubiKubiK]

I can’t believe anyone would cheat for a world record, I mean don’t you feel guilty for lying to the entire world? How can you feel proud of yourself or even just happy with it?

[rodrigoqteixeira]

I really like the fact that he said to people be responsable in the end of the video. It kinda feels like people get really crazy mad because they aren't seeing the other people and wont get hurt if they mess up.

[yinyangsepticruski]

This was truly one of the craziest controversies in cubing in a long while, I think ever since the 3BLD scandal of Matyas Kuti. Great video, and it shows that (unlike the calculus you said you did) put a lot of effort into researching for the video, as well as editing!

[ThatCubeKidd]

I love the analogy you used on these, like the 12+ move cross LL skip etc.

also btw those 24 move and 22 move results at previous comps were singles, not means.

[cubedude]

I am happy to see that the WCA is taking FMC more seriously than in 2019 with Uladzislau Ushakov’s FMC “World Record Single” controversy

[cubeth]

This video is super well made, and it was also really understandable coming from a non-FMC solver! Thanks for covering everything in one shot so we could all follow along :)

[axo]

Bro the quotes in the description always have me dying 💀

[solverk]

Excellent video and investigation by the WDC!

[Tj_Hay]

very interesting! never thought i would actually be interested in something FMC related :)

[SilverCuber]

Really good video once again! Keep it up STU!

[cookierobber]

1:36 at Marawila he got a 24 single, not mean. This wasn't suspicious at the time, people get lucky singles all the time. Even his 22 at the next comp was reasonable

[jvanek]

07:25 reasoning doesn't excuse it. I'm sure the person who broke into my house and stole my stuff had a reason, doesn't mean they shouldn't be punished or that I'd forgive them

[descendingforth]

Great video and great breakdown of this situation!

[axo]

STUCUBE should probably retake his calculus exam

[luohao]

Thank you for reminding me that I am still slower than a 6 year old. I was so invested in this FMC drama that I completely forgot!

[Nahn..]

okay i'm being happy tht the comments for him getting the wr were not racial and axtually had some proof, and yeah these cheats should be stopped. still not worse than tht small kid who was twisting the corners like 5 times in a solve yet still got a shit time. And yeah brother good editing and content and ur underrated af.

[RemyMS]

Love the music choice! Very intresting video.
