The Quest thread

[Deleted member 51471]

All right, let's begin.
So we've all seen PetrusQuber's quest for sub-8 petrus, and I've wondered : Why can't people with other methods do that too ? Like why can't a CFOPer track their progress to sub-8 too ?

So I've had this idea. This is a thread where everyone can track their progress, and let other people see it too. Write a post, it can be anything you want. Here's an example :

My quest for sub-8 waterman :

Spoiler: Progress

Spoiler: Week 1

Where I'm at : I average sub-25 and know full CLL
Goal for this week : sub-20 Ao5 and 7 F3R algs
Accomplishments : I got a 20.11 Ao5 ! So close ! However, I learnt 14 F3R algs, twice as much as I was expecting!

Please edit every week into your original post. Use any method you want, and any goal. You could want to go sub-20 with PCMS for instance. Remember, you can always change your goal.

Thanks to @PetrusQuber for the idea.

Maybe include links to external threads too, like mine? This will, of course, help keep the forum nice and clean, not cluttered with loads of ‘I wanna be sub 15 with x’ but some people prefer to have their progress documented in their own thread. Great idea btw

 

[ProStar]

Whenever I try to do something like this, I get bored of updating it and it just dies

 

[PetrusQuber]

Been going for 19 weeks now... I just remind myself to update every Monday, with a little paragraph.

 

[Micah Morrison]

I'm on a quest for sub 9 with red and orange cross(CFOP). I am already sub 9 with white yellow and am on my way to becoming color neutral. I've solved a little bit on red cross in the past so I have that little bit of experience.

Progress:

Before week 1: current ao100: 10.716

 

[Deleted member 51471]

All right, I just thought this would be a cool thread because if you made a thread called : My quest for sub-8 CFOP, your thread would just die because noone would be interested. That's the goal of 80% of all cubers.

Oh yeah, and to avoid walls of text, please place your progress in spoilers like in the example.

 

[PetrusQuber]

Probably why my thread got so much attention was that it was Petrus, and was something that had never been done before I guess.

howd you find me so fast

 

[Deleted member 51471]

You could put my one month one method post on there

Okay everyone, I'm going to start with quest for sub 12 on 3x3. My goal is to accomplish this by August-September 2020.

Spoiler: Week 1

Current global average: 14-14.5.
I haven't had much time to practice because of school.

Spoiler: Week 2

Current global average: 13.5-14 seconds.
I attended Olde Town Parker 2020 and got a 14.99 average and a 13.67 average. I missed finals by two spots. My PR is 13.40 average, but I did not do the best 1st round and my 2nd round average was okay. I got a 9.30 and 8.56 in practice yesterday so that is cool. I also got a 12.30 ao12 and 13.38 ao100, so I am happy with that. I hope to average low 13’s- high 12’s soon.

I think your supposed to make your own thred and not in this post

No, you make your post in this thres. You can make your own thread if you wish.

 

[Deleted member 52530]

tnx for clarify

 

[Hazel]

No, you make your post in this thread. You can make your own thread if you wish.

I'd say that people should only make their own thread if their "quest" is very unique - for example, PetrusQuber's quest for sub-8 with Petrus. Shooting for a specific average with Roux/CFOP/ZZ or something like color neutrality is, of course, a worthwhile goal/quest, but (in my personal opinion) should be kept in this thread here.

I'm gonna just use this as a cubing diary thread.

Spoiler: Week 1

1/26/20-2/2/20
Not much happening, due to piano and school. Broke PBs for 2x2 and 4x4, barely touched 3x3.

Spoiler: 2x2

PB singles all below 4, got high 5 to low 6 averages. Just focusing on getting faster with ortega, not sure if ever planning to learn algs until I get better at bigger cubes like 3x3 and 4x4

Spoiler: 3x3

Started colour neutral solves, not much progress.

Spoiler: 4x4

Fully transitioned to Yau. 1:04 PB single, 1:12 PB avg. I'm already as fast as I was with redux. Very nice, if I keep up the momentum I should be sub-1 in 2 weeks. This is my main event currently, I really enjoy it. I need to work more on first 3 edges and last 4 centers rn, as well as drill the PLL parity alg, as it is super sloww for me. Lookahead for last 8 edges on point right now.

Spoiler: 3x3 OH

no solves

Spoiler: Week 2

2/3/20-2/10/20
Broke 3x3 pb avg, 4x4 pb single and avg, and 3x3OH single. Also broke 2x2 avg.

Spoiler: 2x2

PB singles all below 4 still, lots more 3s coming in. Still haven't learnt any algs. Got a 4.96 avg, which is my first sub-5 avg.

Spoiler: 3x3

Continuing colour neutral solves, also working on predicting first pair and building x-crosses. Got a 14.014 PB ao5, which is more than half a second faster than previous. Lookahead feels off and on, need to work on lookahead consistency.

Spoiler: 4x4

Fully transitioned to Yau. 56.08PB single, 1:08 PB avg. Lookahead feels great, and first 3 edges getting faster. F2C very efficent. I still need to work on L8E because sometimes there are some weird cases. Probably my fastest-improving event, by march I should be sub-1 min.

Spoiler: 3x3 OH

did 5 solves in the comp, got a really nice 33.91. nice lmao not like I practice the event

Plus, if there are posts on here, would it be possible to link to them, like if you pressed the arrow button on somebody’s quote? It would help keep cluttering at a minimum.

If not, mention the post numbers.
