All Rounders vs Specialists

[JamesDanko]

I practice 2x2 and 3x3 the most, but I also do others, like mega and pyra. But I wouldn't consider myself a specialist because I am not good in any particular event. I rank about the same in all of them, so I would say I'm an all rounder.

But I thought you specialized in writing 100 questions in Q&A videos!

lol the only event that I'm world class in is pyraminx, and I'm somewhat good at skewb, despite using bad method lol, somehow got an official 5.06 avg and a 2.65 single, I literally just practiced quite a bit.

and I'm pretty much a nub at 3x3 ;-;

I'm trying to get decent at more events like big cubes and megaminx etc, but I'm too lazy to practice them

I guess I'm a specialist at pyraminx I used to practice pyraminx a lot xD

If that counts, then I am definitely a specialist.

 

[GuRoux]

just 3x3 and sometimes do OH.

 

[Ninja Storm]

2-7, OH, Skewb. FMC is fun too.

That's exactly half of the WCA events. I'd consider myself a specialist, I guess.

I try to practice 3x3 at least 10 minutes a day, but I spend hours daily practicing the 6x6 so I guess I specialize in 6x6!

 

[StachuK1992]

I specialize in being bad at generalizing.

dude try being good at 5x5 and 7x7

 

[josh42732]

I try not to specialize in 3x3 and BLD, but they are the easiest for me to practice. What would you say that Feliks is?

 

[SirWaffle]

I guess I am an all rounder I do practice pretty much every event I have ones I prefer over others but I still do them all.

 

[Antonie faz fan]

I am somewhere in between, I am specialist for 2x2,3x3 and 4x4 but I am top 60 for sum of ranks avg so I consider myself an all rounder as well.

Sometimes I practice 7x7 and I think I am pretty good at it. Not as good as me on the 6x6, though. And for 5x5... The only 5x5 I have is a Luminous Green YJ 5x5 and it pops more then my 6x6. Once an AoChuang or HuaChuang comes out in pink or something other then black, white and stickerless with it still being competition legal, I'll certainly consider buying one and practicing for 5x5.

 

[Scruggsy13]

I don't do all events (for example: sq-1, fmc, 4/5bld) but I'm definitely not a specialist. I generally practice all of the other events, although I devote time to improving my world ranking in certain events (5x5 and 3bld).

 

[cuberkid10]

I specialize in 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4. Big cubes are like the plague to me.

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

I'm closer to being an all-rounder, I dabble in most events and I've only not competed in clock and feet, and last I checked I was top-100 KinchRanks (but I'm not a good all-rounder and might get knocked out the top-100 soon). I tend to be interested in a handful of events at a time: currently BLD and sq-1, but I've previously had a bigcube phase and a megaminx phase, for example.

 

[AlexMaass]

Sometimes I practice 7x7 and I think I am pretty good at it. Not as good as me on the 6x6, though. And for 5x5... The only 5x5 I have is a Luminous Green YJ 5x5 and it pops more then my 6x6. Once an AoChuang or HuaChuang comes out in pink or something other then black, white and stickerless with it still being competition legal, I'll certainly consider buying one and practicing for 5x5.

just get one in white or something just practice 5x5-7x7 a lot

 

[willtri4]

Square-1 is definitely my main event. I practice 2x2 and skewb often, and 3x3, 4x4, OH, and BLD sometimes. I'd do pyra more if I had a decent one.

 

[IRNjuggle28]

I'm not by any means amazing at big cubes, but I would say I'm a big cube specialist. I've worked a lot on 5x5 and 7x7 and will do the same for 6x6 when I get a cube that doesn't pop every solve.

 

[tx789]

I consider myself a slow all rounder. My best even would be 2x2, pyraminx and skewb since I have spent some time focusing on those.
