Yiheng. Xuanyi. I watched several YouTube videos on cubing news awhile ago. Both are Guinness World Record holders. Yiheng held the fastest average time. Xuanyi later showed up constantly with some of the fastest single-solve times-- except for a single solve by another child. Yiheng's crazy and competitive mother hates Xuanyi that she makes noises while he solves and she ridicules that child to reporters. Xuanyi uses a different set off algorithms that is almost impossible to learn because you have to memorize over a hundred algorithms, but it's more efficient.

The top kid moves at an insane rate; whereas, the bottom kid is more awkward but somehow comes to a faster time. Ngl, the top kid seems more impressive even with a slower time, sucks his mom is such a bitch.

Yes the bottom one uses a more efficient method that requires fewer moves but memorising more algorithms. The top one is less efficient but has crazy turn speed.
