Hi! I am deadmanlsh. I've been lurking here for a very long time now (I even made an account), but this is the first time I am posting here.

I've known cubing for a much longer time, but I only started speedsolving last year. The events I practice are 3x3, BLD events and occasionally 2x2 and OH. Currently I am studying in Singapore, but I am a Korean.

For 3x3, I've been on a slump for more than half a year; I'm stuck at sub-16. I recently started trying to be colour neutral, but the difference between CN and non-CN solves is still very evident. I'd like to break the sub-15 barrier, but I guess I am not practicing enough......

For BLD, I am still in the process of familiarising myself with 3-style. The execution is very slow, being over 1:00 most of the time. My memo is even worse, taking about one minute as well. I DNFed all my BLD-related solves during Singapore Open 2014, so I guess I need to learn to be able to concentrate and not get distracted outdoors. I have also had 4BLD and 5BLD success, but I've only tried them a few times and most of the attempts were failures. I actually made a full letter pair list of images from AA-ZZ, but I just made it, so I am nowhere near being able to recall the images instantly.

Side-events I occasionally do are 2x2 and OH. I usually do OH on the bus, since my other hand will usually be grabbing something for support. I actually know EG-1 and CLL for 2x2, since I learnt them recently, but I am still slow as heck. Guess I will have to drill the algorithms if I want to take it seriously.

I actually have an NR for Fewest Moves Mo3, thanks to the fact that I'm pretty much the only Korean who managed to an average. It was the first time I actually did a FMC solve, but I got fourth, so it wasn't so bad I guess? I got 40.67. At that time, I was 32nd in the world as Mo3 for the event was very new. Now my name is nowhere to be seen on top 100.

Also, I would like to take this opportunity to call for everyone living in Singapore, regardless of nationality. A new Whatsapp group is being created, so we are seeking members (there is a 50-member limit, though, as the app restricts the number of people). PM me or guysensei1 to join!

Watching anime is another of my hobbies. In fact, I think I spend more time watching anime than cubing (I do both simultaneously sometimes). I am also following a lot of them this season.

I also occasionally play some Touhou. I've yet to clear any game other than EoSD and by clear I mean a normal 1cc. I've actually tried MoF more than once other than EoSD, but Kanako's Mountain of Faith ends my attempt every time. I've tried the other games once or twice, but my attempts usually end during Stage 6 for other games, except for UFO since it's too difficult (damn you, curvy lasers!).

I think I'll be more active on the forums from now on. But who knows? I may go back into being a lurker. Any tips/ideas for improving my times will also be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading through this long post!

That is all.
 
Hello deadmanlsh!

Welcome to the forums. Don't worry, lurkers are very awesome >:D I usually don't post much either.
I'm sorry the hear you're stuck in a slump but I'm sure you'll find a way out.

You sound like my brother except he doesn't cube and has played every Touhou game.
Aside from that, welcome to the forum!

Thanks! I cube, so isn't that a big difference? :) I would probably be on /a/, /jp/ and /b/ all the time if I were not cubing. Oh wait......

Nah, you two would probably get along great!
Also, what's /b/? some sort of 4chan thing? I guess I'll go check it out the-
OH GOD.
 
welcome to the forums! even thought you have been lurking around here for a while.. :)

thats fun how we average about the same on 3x3 but my OH times are about 20 sec faster haha ;) (checked your wca profile) :cool:

Yeah...... I don't really do OH. I haven't gotten any faster, either. My fingers are really stubby, you see. Looking at my profile reminds me of how I haven't improved for a really long time :(


I hope a 4chan invasion doesn't happen here... This place is supposed to be family-friendly, right?
 
I saw you clinching the prizes for the 3BLD and 4BLD. You really are very good at BLD events.
Any tips for improving BLD? I switched to 3-style, but my execution is terrible. Not that my memo is better, but...
 
Hey, welcome to the forum! Since you've been lurking around for a while, and you already have good official standings, I look forward to seeing more posts from you. A lot of people do their introduction but then stay generally inactive.

I am a Korean, but I spent most of my life overseas. I have lived in China before quite some time ago, now I am living in Singapore.
