2021 Cubing Goals / Resolutions

[ProStar]

Warning! I am not the first to do this. Previous threads: 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016

The new year is fast approaching, and we'll be leaving 2020 in the past(thank goodness). So, what plans, goals, resolutions, etc. do you have for this upcoming year? Do you want to be sub-10 on 3x3? Learn full EG? How about learn how to do 4BLD? List all of your cubing goals for this upcoming year of 2021!

[rubik2005]

3x3: Learn full OLL, maybe consistently average sub-12
2x2: sub- 4
4x4: sub-2 (not a priority)
5x5: learn some edge cases to not rely on sarah's cubing site to solve
3x3 OH: Sub 1
Square-1: learn how to solve it and average sub 1
Pyraminx: sub-5
Moyu Puppet Cube II: solve it

 

[DNF_Cuber]

My goals in order of importance, 1 being most important
1.Don't quit
2.Get sub 12 on 3x3, maybe even sub 10
3.get sub 20 sq1.
4.Get a decent 4x4( On the way) and get to sub 50 at least
5. get sub 25 OH and learn to plan full EOline
6.Get acceptably decent at pyra(sub 5 or 6)
7.get sub 2 5x5
8. get sub 3 2x2



that is all I can think of now
EDIT: Also get more consistent 3bld(60% when safetying)
and sub 35 moves FMC(mo3)
EDIT2:and go to a comp(if they are having those, hoping it is safe in less than a year)
and learn 4bld
EDIT3:Learn to not suck at mega

 

[the dnf master]

3x3: get Sub 12, and if I improve fast get sub 10
2x2: learn full EG and get sub 3
4x4 get sub 1 or, maybe even sub 50
3x3 OH get sub 25
3x3 BLD learn how to solve BLD, and maybe speedsolve on it
3x3 FMC Improve consistency, and get sub 40 or sub 35
Square-1 get sub 20 or sub 15

I wrote a bunch of goals for each event on a piece of paper on January 1st for me to look at and see how many I beat on January 1st, 2021. I think I beat all of them by a lot but idk. The only real goals I have for next year are sub 15 3x3 and hopefully some kind of podium for pyraminx but I doubt that.

 

[Raffaeleb21]

3x3 become sub 30 and learn full oll and pll learn pyraminx, megaminx and 4x4

 

[Zeke Mackay]

Forgot to make this thread this year, thus ends my 3-year streak of making it.

My goals:
Don't quit

 

[MJS Cubing]

2x2 sub 5 with ortega
3x3 sub 20 with CFOP
4x4 sub 1:30 with Yau (switch from yaudux)
5x5 sub 3 yau 5
I don’t do big cubes
OH - Sub 1 CFOP
Squan Sub 1 (some method I made up idk. pm me if you want to know about it)
I don’t do skewb
Pyra Get back into pyra and hopefully get sub 10
I don’t do mega (sorry @Owen Morrison and @CuberStache )
BLD Learn BLD
Clock - learn clock and get sub 1
i don’t do any other events.
By the way what is a global average?

 

[Micah Morrison]

By the way what is a global average?

a global average is basically what you average in an event, often an ao100 or ao1000 can be used to determine this depending on the length of an event.

5x5: sub 3:00
Square-1: Still don't learn how to solve it
6x6/7x7: Purchase non-Vcube versions and actually solve them occasionally
pyraminx: sub 10
3x3 blind: Re-learn M2 and my letter pairs, sub 2:00. Maybe start switching to 3-Cycle

Megaminx: Purchase a new one that actually turns, sub 4:00?

Competitions: Go to at least 2. Currently signed up for PA Championships in August

First, what does globally sub-x mean?

My interpretation is that it means consistently sub-x, so on that assumption, here are my goals for 2021.

At home
2x2: globally sub-6
3x3: globally sub-10
4x4: globally sub-55
5-7: get started
OH: sub 25 global ?
Pyra: meh
Mega: (I want to say meh, but then Micah and Owen will kill me so I'm not going to say meh) globally sub-2 and get a good cube
Squan: globally sub-40
Clock: start
BLD events: maybe learn 3BLD? OP

At comp
2x2: sub 7 avg, sub 3 single
3x3: sub 10 avg, sub 8 single
4x4: sub 55 avg, sub 50 single
5-7: get an avg in all
OH: sub 20 single
Pyra: meh
Mega: sub 2 avg
Squan: sub 40
Clock: idk how hard it is, maybe sub 10 avg?
BLD: get a success
Other: 200 subs
Go to 3/4 comps

Just recently managed to get back into cubing again, was a bit busy because I had just entered college, but I definitely have a lot of goals for this next year:

2x2: Learn CLL. Reach global Sub 3 (currently sub 6-5)
3x3: globally Sub 12, maybe sub 10 but idk (currently sub 15)
4x4: get a better cube and Sub 40 (currenty sub 1:03)
5x5: Sub 1:20 (current sub 1:55)
6x6: finally get one
7x7: Sub 4:15 (current sub 6:10)

Megaminx: Sub 1:20 (cwas kinda close to it, but stopped practicing it, forgot my 4lll and bounced back to 2 minutes again :c )
Current sub 1:45

Sq-1: Sub 16 (current sub 50)
Clock: Get one

New events:
3x3 BLD: Finally try full solves (have done edges and corners separately)
4x4 BLD: Learn how to solve it...
3x3 OH: Sub 22 (current sub 32)
