[Help Thread] Looking for a cubing buddy?

[Llewelys]

My latest avg 100 is 23.xx, so I’m looking for someone with a similar average.
The goal here is to create a healthy competition and see who’ll reach sub 20 first (a litteral race to sub20). We’ll talk via PM of our progress, difficulties and of course share advice.

I’m working a full time job and when I get home I’m often too tired to cube, so I’ve been plateauing (is that a word?) for months. I believe being in direct competition against someone will give me extra motivation.

Is anyone in?

Edit: I'm editing this so it includes anyone who wants to find a cubing buddy.
Just say you want in and what you average (preferably avg100 or more so it's more accurate). Go for whole seconds unless you're sub10.

I'll edit this post with names of people wanting to be paired up.

[G0ingInsqne]

I would, but I have finals soon. Though I wouldn't mind sharing progress! I average about 22-23 too

 

[GAN 356 X]

I would too but I average 19 seconds currently. Sorry

 

[Deadloxz]

I average about that currently. Before I took a break from cubing I was sub 19 rip.

 

[PetrusQuber]

Mm. I got this going on with BlastKracken7 too. I average 24 ish.

 

[Cubinwitdapizza]

Would you mind if I made a whole thread just for this topic?

 

[Llewelys]

Why not use this one ?
I'll edit it so it includes anyone who wants a 'cubing buddy'

 

[Cubinwitdapizza]

Ok
that was the plan just make a general one. I would have been fine with you changing the name so that it can be a global thread.

 

[Cubinwitdapizza]

I’m looking for a cubing buddy. I averge just below 17 and want to race to sub 15. Anybody?
EDIT: Also I use ZZ and do other events.

 

[KubkaNoobka]

I am looking for a cubing buddy as well, preferably Roux user. I average low 20s and I want to get sub 20 global. Anybody?

 

[Llewelys]

I average low 20s

Can you be a bit more precise ? 20 ? 21 ? 22 ? 23 ?

 

[KubkaNoobka]

Can you be a bit more precise ? 20 ? 21 ? 22 ? 23 ?

I would say around 23, but it depends on if I am just casually solving or trying to concentrate as much as I can.

 

[EngiNerdBrian]

I think in general this is a really good idea. I use a similar method for lots of goals in my life (running a marathon, finishing a book, eating more vegetables, accomplishing ANY goal or task etc.)

I call it "accountability partners" where you each express a given goal and hold each other accountable for working towards that goal. In this case you don't even need to be at the same times necessarily but you could each chat, encourage each other, and race to complete your individual goals of something like removing 3s off your average, improve average by 5%, learn a new algorithm set or subset etc.

 

[gruuby]

I like this idea and I want in please. My ao100 is around 22 seconds

 

[GAN 356 X]

I use CFOP and average 19 seconds. I am looking for a buddy. Also, I average 5.3 on 2x2, 1:25 on 4x4, and 3:35 on 5x5. If you are any of these times PM me and we can have a race, or even do relays

 

[Cubinwitdapizza]

The one time being sub-20 kinda sucks for me

What do you average? Like 19 or lower?

 

[Caden :)]

I average 22, add me in!

 

[The Pocket Cuber]

Currently averaging mid 17’s with 4LLL, learning PLL and OLL now lol. Would like to be paired

Ayyy you wanna race to sub 15? I’m kinda doing the one mont one method but this month is one of my faster methods so you wanna race?

Sounds good. Especially that I have a comp on in a month for extra motivation.
