Tier 1 - All are amazing events. My favorite depends on which I'm doing the best at at the moment. I've organized them alphabetically to avoid bias. And I can use ZZ on all of them!
Feet - My first top-100 ranking. I've practiced this a lot, but have yet to get an official sub-1 mean.
Megaminx - I invented my own method, and it doesn't take too long. The stages of a solve are just super-extended 3x3, which is also a good event.
OH - Having one hand feels less clumsy. My look ahead is better since there is one less hand obscuring the cube and my TPS is limited. Even so, I feel like I can push TPS while keeping the solve generally smooth.
(Three)x3 - I don't suck too bad, and there is a short amount of time spent on each solve. ZZ F2L is really neat everytime, and being able to solve LL in 1 look is just sooo fun.
Tier 2 - Good events, but I don't practice them much. I enjoy these and would sign up for them at a competition.
FMC - I'm not great at FMC; I just do ZZ solves with the occasional pseudo block. It's nice to have an event based on your solution rather than your time.
BLD - The thrill of pulling of a blindfold and have a solved cube. Edge memo is really fun too.
MBLD - BLD but more BLD. I love using rooms, and I still can't get over how awesome they are.
5x5 - It's large enough to allow mistakes without impacting your time too much, and each stage doesn't drag on forever (cough cough 6x6/7x7 cough).
4BLD - BLD but on a 4x4. Longish, but rewarding in the end.
Tier 2.5 - It's unnoffical, and jaysammy doesn't live in the midwest so I probably won't be able to sign up untill it maybe becomes an official event
Kilominx - I feel like I should put kilo here
Tier 3 - Meh events, organized in order of non-mehness. I might or might not sign up for these at a competition.
Skewb - The different style of cuts are cool, but I don't really like short events. And it's just alg spam.
6x6 - It just draggs onn and ooonnnnnn. Nothing new from 5x5.
5BLD - 4BLD but a bit too long
7x7 - I've done 1 solve with someone else's cube. 9:40 something. Why would anyone ever? It's a 6x6 but just loonggger
Square-1 - Missed a cutoff by like .15, never practiced it again; I forgot parity too. Meh, I don't have anything against the puzzle, but, like 2x2 and skewb, it's just an alg spam event.
Tier 3.5 - IDK
Clock - I don't have one yet. It looks cool I guess; can't be worse than anything in Tier 4.
Tier 4 - The stupid events. Why did I ever sign up for these?
2x2 - It's too short and it's just alg spam and TPS, nothing else. Turning it hard cause it's too small.
4x4 - Eh, I'm not sure why. I just don't like it.
Pyraminx - TIPS = The turnIng on this Puzzle is Stupid. And so was this acronym idc.
Just please no no no
