2020 Cubing Goals / Resolutions

[ProStar]

1. Get sub 30 consistently (currently 50sec)

You don't need full OLL or PLL to get sub 30. I'm right around that mark and I just use 4lll. The main think you should work on is F2L and Cross. Maybe practice doing 4lll fast, but you don't need 2 or 3 look.

1. Get more cubes so that I don’t have to use my Rubik’s brand

Here's a good guide to 3x3s to help decide what's best for your budget:

Yep I know that’s what everyone is saying and it is definitely true but I don’t like practicing 100% of the time i cube. I learn one alg every weekend and the rest is training F2L and color neutrality. I’m enjoying learning algs.

5x5 BLD: SR Single?

Uhhh, let's avoid that...you can have 4x4 BLD SR until I get a success, haha.

Also want to do more focused practice and attend at least 4 competitions. I also want to possibly help the organizers at these competitions, so we can have more of them in the future.

I completely agree, and that is really my only real goal for 2020 since I can't get god times cubing, is to get more involved with the community, get more competitions held, and get Colorado cubers more competition and involved as a whole since a lot of people seem to want that, and I am hoping to be a main coordinator for all with communication with other cubers and delegates, so that way Colorado can get the comps that they want.

So all in all that is my goal for 2020.

Yeah, first I need to learn 4BLD, but I figured that the end of 2020 is a year away, so I have plenty of time to learn and possibly get a success at a competition. I do realize that some of my goals are ambitious, but the end of 2020 is quite a while from now and I don't really consistently practice right now except for with 3x3.

Thanks a lot! Really helpful, I’ll consider them
They look so buttery compared to my cube!

 

[z3non]

1. Improve on F2L+Cross
2. Faster execution of PLLs/OLLs
3. Learn some more OLLs (just 2l oll atm)
4. 1st real 3BLD success (without pen & paper)
5. Visit some events in germany

[Shaun Mack]

oh finals na champs thats it everything else i have no set goals for lol

 

[GAN 356 X]

1. Get sub 30 consistently (currently 50sec)
2. Learn Full OLL (learning full pll until this year is over)
3. Learn a 4x4 method (currently beginners method but i forgot everything because i focused on 3x3)
4.collect every flagship 3x3 from moyu gan and qiyi that will come out

You should be able to achieve this pretty easily... I got from sub-50 to sub-30 in about 1 month of practice and learning. I would improve your F2L and learn 4LLL

 

[ImmolatedMarmoset]

goals:
organize 3+ comps
sub-10 3x3 global
sub-6 clock global
sub-4 skewb global
about it

mega: sub 1 global
sq-1: sub 15

Edit: revising my goals...My 2020 goals including increasing my 3x3 knowledge and beginning to speed solve big cubes which I've always solved casually:

3x3: sub 20 average. Focus on cross efficiency and smart solutions to F2L. Learn new finger tricks to break bad habits. Learn full OLL.
4x4: sub 2:00 average consistently (currently ~6mins w/ less than (10) timed solves under my belt)
5x5: sub 3:30 average
BLD: Relearn blind (I did it a lot in college) and successfully complete multi-blind solves for the first time ever
Megaminx: Learn a speed method and actually begin speed solving this puzzle (I've never timed a minx solve but i really like the mechanics)
Square-1: solve it! I'm trying to figure it out intuitively but haven't cracked it yet

Go to a competition for the 1st time ever...This is mostly to engage with the community and obviously not to podium

3x3: Focus on cross efficiency and smart solutions to F2L. Learn new finger tricks to break bad habits. Average sub 30 consistently (currently ~45s)
4x4: 2:30 average consistently (currently ~6mins w/ less than (10) timed solves under my belt)

If you’re going to a competition, especially for the first time, your goal should not be to podium. Your motive is absolutely correct.

3x3: sub 10 global/official but idrc (if my OH is sub 12 I hope my 2H will follow suit)
OH: sub 12 global/official, sub10 single, WR100, win a comp, SRs
Mega: sub 45 global/official, sub 40 single, WR100, win a comp, SRs

Finish ZBLL by summer (1.5 sets of Pi, 2 of U and H, most of L [but they'll just be inverses], most of S and S/A)
Learn Mega PLL

These are the only events that still matter anymore since Feet has been removed.


But since Feet was removed, I can try other events, I guess:

3BLD: 40s memo? sub 1:30? official mean? SRs?
4/5BLD: official successes?
MBLD: 8+ ?????
MegaBLD: success

FMC: learn things, official sub 30 mean, SR?

get really good at clock and get the best results for jotan klosko's first comp stats
this is also the only way I'll get feliks away from me as a nemesis (idk if this is next year though, it doesn't have to happen right away)
E: so at the end of 2019 I think had 5 nemesises (drl, tommy cherry, stanley, max siauw, henri gerber), and now that feet is gone I have 37. Not as bad as I thought, but it's going to be a lot harder to get rid of them all [actually, dropping 2 seconds in OH (which shouldn't be too hard) will get rid of a fair number, but there's still going to be a lot left].

cuz i need to get my OH times sub my pyra/skewb times before I can clean those up so I can say that I solve OH faster than pyra/skewb. Maybe if I get that then I can push those both sub 5?
sum of ranks sub 40k?
