Great comp, except for squan. I ended up getting a resolve because the judge forgot to reset the timer and I didn't notice.
 
Singapore Cube Championship 2018

222: sub-6 average no
333: sub-16 average no
444: meet the cutoff (currently 1:00 0:55), sub-53 average neither
555: meet the cutoff (currently 1:40 1:35 (rip)) nope
777: sub-4:40 mean yes, and sub-4:30 too!
OH: meet the cutoff (currently 0:30 0:25 (also rip)) somehow yes

3bld: get a success (aiming high, I know) no
Megaminx: sub-1:40 average yes
Skewb: sub-10 average lol no

bonus goals (aka lol this isn't going to happen) none of these

222: sub-5 average
333: sub-10 single, sub-14 average, make it to the second round
444: sub-45 single, sub-50 average
OH: sub-20 single
FMC: get/tie the NR for single or mean (25 and 29.00 28.67 as of now)

My official averages for FMC, OH, 777 and megaminx are now below my global average, but everything else was trash. At least I got a podium!!! (which also means I'm doing nothing for about two hours while waiting for prize presentation to start, asdsadf)
 
Starting next Saturday I have 3 comps in a row, I’m combining most goals for them. Main goal: don’t lose 52 Comp pb streak.



2x2(4 rounds) sub 1.7 avg or better
Really excited to use my Weipo M I got from DRL
3x3(9 rounds) A sub 8 average or low 8 avg and a sub 7 single
4x4(4+ rounds) sub 37 average
5x5(3 rounds) sub 1:10 average
6x6(1 round) sub 2:30 average
7x7(2 rounds) sub 4:20 average, maybe a sub 4 single?
OH(3 rounds?) Sub 17 average, sub 14 single
Skewb(2 rounds) sub 3.89 average
Pyra(2 rounds) sub 5 average

ODU: Podium in everything, really excited to have a Comp where I can finally do this, never had more than 2 podiums before so this will be lots of fun too! As long as I get some good results I’ll be happy though
 
Feels like I have tons of goals right now, being an all-rounder is killing me.
  • Multi-blind WR10, 26+ points. I'm gonna work on my letter pair images to make my initial memo faster and stick better, also drill my corner comms.
  • 5BLD NR, sub-9:48 (kinda started a chase for it with Olli). Practice a lot to make the center memo faster.
  • Get a lot better results in big cubes (5x5 and mega around 1:40, 6x6 3:30, 7x7 5:30)
  • 4BLD near NR, sub-4 official single, maybe already at the Finnish Champs. Not far from it.
Also, mainly work my way towards the top in Finnish kinchranks. I should already be the 3rd with a 15-minute 5bld single, 4:30 4bld single and a bit of practice in big cubes. Given time, I could be the leader at some point.

More goals:
  • Sub-20 one-handed average. My last layer needs the most work, especially I need to learn better OLL algs. PLL is okayish, just need to spam solves to get tps up.
  • Sub-1:15 feet average to qualify for US nats.
  • Mid-3 pyraminx average, sub 30 fmc mean
  • Through sub-9 to sub-8 clock average.

Some random cubing goals:
3x3: Become sub-12. This will take a while due to how slow I improve at this event (4.5+ years to become sub-13)
Square-1: Learn more algs and learn advanced cubeshape! I want to get into this event more. If I do get really into it I'll get a Volt MS
2x2 Transform Pyraminx: Get PB's in every catagory so my UWRs are stronger
2x2 Transform Pyraminx Octahedron: Do a bunch of timed solves so I can claim UWRs

4x4 BLD: Sub 10/9 / N/A / State Record and Podium
5x5 BLD: Get a Single / N/A / If I get a single, Podium, but first I need to practice and fully know how to do it.:)
3x3 MBLD: 10/10 sub 1 hour / N/A / State Record and Podium

Some of the events I am pretty optimistic about and I hope to get the goal, (although I am not positive on them), and some of the other events, I can get the above goals if I get the same times that I am getting right now. I guess for now I will practice until the competition and I will update this once the comp is over.

Assorted goals for once I'm done with school (to be completed, say, by the end of May):

Learn one-look last bar for 6×6×6.
Learn all the diag-CP ZBLL cases.
Become sub-15 global for 3×3×3, sub-50 global for 4×4×4.
Become colour neutral too, I guess.
Do more God's number upper bound computations. (The current megaminx bound is like 190 moves from five years ago; I'd bet at even odds that I can drop it to 120 or lower unless lolben beats me to it. This looks like really, really low-hanging fruit.)
Code a better big cube solver.
 
Current goal is to learn enough Roux to compare it to my CFOP experience and make a decision on which method to pursue as my main solving method.

Then go sub-20 on that method.
 
2x2-
Get 2x2 layers Sub 5.5 moves. Done
Get sub 3.8 Done
Learn EG-1 After the above things are done. Done

3x3-
Try Roux and see If I enjoy it. When I get time.

FMC-
Learn insertions ASAP
Edge cycles ASAP Not doing
EO for FMC ASAP
Sub 35 unofficial mean ASAP
