First ever sub-30 3x3x3 average:

28.92, 31.17, (44.73), (27.19), 28.81 = 29.63 avg.

Done on this weeks online competition (2009 no. 3).
Finally! Woo-hoo!!!!!!!!! :D
 
3x3

Best Lucky 28 seconds
Best Non Lucky 33 seconds
Best average 36 seconds.

I want to know how you guys remember what moves you after your solves?
 
I did a mean of 100. (I had one DNF, so I did 101 solves total; CCT's "session mean" is the mean of all non-DNF solves.)
The time was 15.80 seconds :) It's about a second below my previous best, I think.

The best solve was 11.16, the worst was 21.46. SD was 1.69.
Best RA of 12 was 14.69 (PB average!):
12.91 15.40 14.78 15.24 15.10 14.59 16.98 14.50 14.61 (19.00) 12.75 (12.11)

With Japanese color scheme ^_^ I don't need any more evidence now, I KNOW it's faster.
 
OMG. Check out this run of 6 times I just got.

102: 00:49.64 x
101: 00:53.39 x
100: 00:55.77 x
99: 00:59.55 x
98: 00:48.19 x
97: 00:44.57 x

Thats 6 sub-1 solves in a row, 3 of them sub-50.
O_O
What am I turning into? :o

How lucky do you get in competitions? Your square-1 comp PB is ~3 secs below your normal average, and your 3x3 comp PB is a second below your normal average. :P

Also, finally a sub-30 solve on Square-1: 29.04

The Square-1 PB average was definitely lucky, but the 3x3 average wasn't. I just make sure to always warm up lookahead before the round and then I try to go smooth rather than fast, so I'm usually a little more fast and consistent in competition 3x3 than in practice. My normal average is really ~17.0, but in competition there is good lighting and my hands aren't ever tired, so I can just go up and get five goodish single solves. Also I have had many chances to do 3x3 in competition, so my PB average is of course a bit below normal :)

Actually I wish I was more lucky in competition, in terms of getting some really good singles. I have really nice solves in 4x4 (47 was PLLskip) and OH (16 was easy F2L + PLLskip), but I don't have any really good single solves for 3x3, 5x5, or BLD yet.

86th!
This is over 10 seconds faster than my previous PB (on real cube).
The centers are a bit slower on the sim, but the 3x3 part is a bit faster. I think the improvement is mainly due to my improved edge pairing recognition.

59.06 HI-GAMES 5X5
FIRST SUB-1 EVER ON ANY SIMULATOR
http://hi-games.net/cube-5x5x5/watch?u=44

I also beat Andy Tsao in a long-running race we were having that I didn't think would ever finish: it was, would I get sub-1 hi-games 5x5 first, or would he get sub-30 hi-games 4x4? And now... I won!

EDIT: Centers in 20 seconds, reduction in 44 (!!!!!!).

Got a new PB. 9.50(full step). Although yes I got a 9.03 before but that was a PLL skip. This is full step. I'm sure some of you know how it feels to beat you record with a great time like this.

Also I think this is equal with Eric Limeback's official fastest. I'll check it.

EDIT
Eric Limeback got a 9.55. My mistake.

Amazing!!!!
Greatest speedcubing accomplishment ever!
I wish I can be even half as fast as you.

Edit:

First try! Not as awesome as Michael Gottlieb, but this is a good time for me, only 12 seconds slower than record on real cube. First 2 centers were slow, but 3x3 part was fast.

Yes!!! consistently sub-2 now!

YES!

Just got 60second average! 48sec PB!

Average of 5. I used to use a basic CF method that repeated alg. until it worked and then decided to switch to Fridrich method and in 2 and a half weeks I learned intuitive f2l and 4LLL and decreased my average about 20 seconds so far. My cross takes bout 3-6 seconds, F2l about 30-35, and LL about 20.

YAY! Now ima go back to practicing~!
 
Memorized all PLLs and dropped my times from 30-40 to 27(ish)-30. I'm a noob but this is good for me =)

I will sub-90!!!
This was no parity right after a horrible 2:02 double parity and a horrible 2:20 double parity with messups will edgep pairing.
26-67-92.
I waste too much time inspecting in between steps.

Wuqiong Fan, 4x4x4 cube, 1:30.53 sec
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
The next solve!
I almost didn't make it because I was so excited that I messed up the G perm! Could have been sub-90!

Wuqiong Fan, 4x4x4 cube, 1:24.22 sec
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Yes!!!!!!!! WTF2L!!!!! ROF2L!!!!!! [nakajima fist pump] I did it!!!!
Sub-90!!!! With OLL parity.
18-58-84
I've made it from #105 to *69 in only 2 days!

Edit: I've gotten sub-90 3 times now and all of them were OLL parity only. Strange... I can only get a good time when I only get OLL parity?
