Racing to sub-20

Round 495
20.43

18.04, 22.79, 21.56, 20.69, 19.31, (24.37), 19.55, 18.13, 21.44, 20.22, 22.55, (16.74)

Close call. I'm pretty happy with this average. I used my new YueXiao, which I haven't set up yet. It's a little catchy and I might consider filing the corners down as some have suggested. I'll wait to see how it performs after it's been lubed and tensioned to my liking.

Race to sub-20 - Round 496
Cube: Moyu Tanglong
Method: CFOP Full CN

Generated By csTimer on 2016-4-15
avg of 12: 20.84

Time List:
(17.93[blue]), 19.14[yellow], 22.70[green], 21.97[green], 18.52[white], 23.12[blue], 22.49[orange], (24.74[blue]), 19.95[yellow], 19.77[green], 19.25[red], 21.48[red]

I'm in bad shape today. Not sure if big cube practise is having an impact but my hands and muscles do not respond as well as other days. Lots of lockups and, in general a bad average.
 
Round: 496
Cube: QiYi Thunderclap
Method(s): ZZ, CFOP
Average: 23.34 (ZZ), 20.93 (CFOP)

0. ZZ, CFOP
1. 21.99, 18.32
2. (27.39), 20.33
3. 26.02, 23.06
4. (19.79), 23.17
5. 20.55, (14.15)
6. 21.93, 18.77
7. 27.16, 19.97
8. 20.87, (DNF) (messed up T perm)
9. 25.61, 24.84+
10. 23.36, 18.97
11. 21.64, 24.21
12. 24.34, 17.73

New PBs average and single! Finally a sub 15. This was really weird, because, yeah, my CFOP is faster than my ZZ, but not by that much! I never get that many sub-20 solves (6/12). And I haven't even practiced CFOP since feb and last week. Now my PBs are CFOP instead of ZZ, which is really annoying because I don't like CFOP, but I'm better at it.
 
Round 496
Cube: GuoGuan YueXiao

avg of 12: 19.96

Time List:
19.29, 17.31, 20.24, 19.02, (15.38), 22.66, 22.29, 22.22, (23.93), 19.43, 20.12, 17.00

I lubed and tensioned my YueXiao this morning. I'm starting to really like it. I'm not catching so much now, I think I just needed to get used to the puzzle and adjust my turning a little bit.
 
Round 496 with Roux(Alumini)
Cube: Guoguan Yuexiao

Ao12: 17.49
Best Ao5: 15.73(solves 2-6)

I guess now is the time to move on the sub-15 thread. I've done sub-18 thrice now on this thread. It's time for me to continue my journey. #MambaOut
 
Round 496

Counting 28s are yucky.

Same here! I've had mine for a while now but I lubed it for the first time yesterday with the last few drops of my maru and it performs much better now :)

Round 496 Results​

@mafergut I like how you track and post your results over in the sub-15 thread, so I'm totally ripping you off, hope you don't mind ;). I collected stats back to round 480. I'll show results for the last 10 rounds.

*For those that use their phones, or tablets, let me know if the images don't work. If it's a problem I can also include a classic text list like we've always done.

*Please note: If you have not participated in over 10 rounds, and are NOT an alumni, I will be deleting your stats after next round.

I hear ya. After solves 6-9 I walked away, had a breather and a shot of whiskey, and came back with a strong finish. I think it was the whiskey... definitely the whiskey ;)

I didn't even enter my results this week. Other than a really nice 14.00 it was pretty horrid, near 24 I think. :/

Oh you're more than qualified. I've been here since Dec, 2014 when I was high 20's... Yeah it's been a long road :)
