Accomplishment Thread

Since a few months ago my pb 4x4x4 single was 1:20.635 until last night when I got a 1:19.734. I was really excited to get my first sub-1:20 but just now I beat that by 13 seconds with a 1:06.440! I did not expect that at all and it was only that fast because of my focus. Then with that single I got a mo3 of 1:17.234 after getting a 1:18.798 single and I got a 1:22.433 ao5 and a 1:30.215 ao12! I was getting more sub-1:30s than usual and I think I'm seeing some real improvement that will stick which hasn't happened in a while. It must just be because I'm more motivated with 4x4 than I used to be. I think I'll be sub-1:10 in a month or two and sub-1 by the end of the year.
 
I just did Kilominx for the Weekly competiiton, and the 5th solve was my 2000 solve for the weekly competition. I know that this is not a big accomplishment, but still nice to see:)

I average 12-13 with a 13.77 official average and 11.96 orricial single. My PB single was 10.24 until today. I was solving, and suddenly, I get a 7.43!!!!!! I am posting the scramble on the scramble thread
 
8.87 PB 3x3 single!

Double xcross with a bad last layer, but super happy with it!

Flood of OH pbs cause I sprained my ankle and will be mostly house ridden for a week or two. All except single, and I got really close there too.
So I got really fast but also super inconsistent.
I have as many 15s as I have 17s (27), 14s as 19s (12), almost as many 13s as 20s (8-9), and sub13 as sup20 (8-6).
Yeah. Overall session mean of 160 solves was 16.93 and the average was 16.90.

Single: 10.68 - Maybe second sub 11 single?
Mo3: 13.49 - (16.04, 10.68, 13.76)
Ao5: 13.86 - ((10.68), 13.76, (18.17), 14.71, 13.11)

E: Also I finally got a sub 60 average of 12 in megaminx. That was awesome.

first sub 30 solve after 1 1/2 month of cubing. nonlucky, no skipped steps, just fine block building at the start (meaning consistent but slow turning, no pauses & good lookahead).
I'm looking forward to my first sub 40 average :)

EDIT:
just accomplished a sub 40 avg :]
next goal: sub 40 avg of 100
i love it, every day i cube i keep getting better times. 1 or 2 seconds everyday :D
Click to expand...

I'm was right around there 2 weeks ago. Now I'm at around 32 second averages of five and a 22 second PR with no PLL skip. Good Luck h3ndrik! :p
 
First cubing session in ages. Broke all of my 3x3 pbs except Ao5, and I think Im finally sub 14!

I beat my longest standing PB, at just under 2 years: 3x3 average of 5. It's my first sub-10. Also, PB Mo3 at 9.21.

9.91, (10.52), 9.36, 9.25, (9.02) = 9.51. Had it locked after the fourth solve at 9.93 with a very timely sexysledge PLL skip, but the last solve was an immaculate fullstep beast to secure the smash.

My PB on the 2x2x2 is now down to 6.51. I am still using the beginner's method. Is that an OK time? My Ao3 is under 10. I still bumble solves with 30+ seconds though.
Click to expand...
What exactly is beginners method? Describe yours.
Im sub 4 and i solve like a 3x3... tps ftw
 
AbsoRuud said:
Solve white face first, including correct permutations. Then OLL and PLL. Basically like you said, like a 3x3x3. My tps is as good as my lookahead. ;)

Which 2x2x2 do you use?
Click to expand...
wEIpO
That is my method, but im color neutral. Its ez to do on a 2x2, and i recommend it to everyone.
For "my" method, you have to have wicked fast recognition as well as a fast tps. Of course, I can recognize some oll cases and immediately know what pll to use, executing without stopping. Similarly, i know for some olls that ill get a pll skip.
