I mostly failed these... I'm on a 12.xy skewb average and I can get sub-1:40 on a good mega session, so it's not all bad

Goals for March

Completed goals in italics
Get a sub-16.5 average of 100 on 3x3x3.
Learn at least 2 more CLL subsets on 2x2x2. (I know about half of it now...) (completed CLL set)
Push global 2x2x2 average to a low 4.
Learn at least 8 algorithms for SQ-1
Push global SQ-1 average to 30s

My best 3x3x3 ao100 is 16.90 now, and my 2x2x2 global average is 4.5-6, so I was part of the way there... I learnt like 6 sq-1 EPs but didn't practise because my puzzle pops too often to make me want to solve it for more than 20mins at a time...

Goals for April

Practise solving first blocks (hard to quantify, as long as I don't suck at them I'll be happy)
Get much better at cross+1 (4s ao100)
Practise Yau cross+centres (improve by a few seconds or so)
Get sub-4 at 2x2x2 (what the heck, I got the bite so I may at least try and achieve something decent)
Get back into clock solving, write my solving tips and tricks guide and film some videos

2x2: Sub 7 Average
3x3: Sub 27 Average/Sub 20 Single
4x4: Sub 2 Average
5x5: Sub 3:30 Average
Pyraminx: Sub 20 Average

Short term: Sub 13 in a week or so
Longer term: Sub 12 2 months (first year of cubing)
Long term: practice something other the 3x3 and go to another comp.

Goals:
Solve a nxnxn faster than Feliks can solve a (n+1)x(n+1)x(n+1).
I've accomplished this for 2x2 and 3x3... working on 4x4 now! Hahaha.

Do you know ZBLL?

Goals from now until July:
3x3- Consistently average sub-14 but ill be satisfied with sub-15 average of 100
4x4- Sub-57 averages.
Also to learn the last 10 algs of Full/ 1 Look OLL

No, that's a stupid amount of algs. Maybe I'll learn it someday though.

Why would you learn ZBLS then? It's more algs doing last pair+EO>EOLL>PLL than doing last pair>OLL>PLL and the former is probably a fair bit slower than the latter

To be different. Besides, I'm too lazy to learn full OLL.

If you're too lazy to lean 50ish algs for OLL then...... Have fun learning 300 algs for ZBLS :tu

Why thank you.

It's only like one half more than ZBLS and I would say more useful.

Current averages:
2x2: 9ish
3x3: 29
4x4: 2:15
5x5: 4:30

Goals:
2x2: sub 5 PB ao100
3x3: sub 25 pb ao100
4x4: sub 1:30 ao100
5x5: sub 3:00 ao100

2x2: Consistent sub-3/4
3x3: Sub-15
4x4: Sub-1
5x5+ aren't my main interests atm

Megaminx: Sub-2
