F2L+PLL(Except Gs, Ns, Z and V)

I am terribly slow doing the cross. 2 weeks ago I averaged 1:35.

Yes!! Now I can really call myself a sub-19 cuber. Yesterday I got 18.59 and today I got this:

Yay! I solved a 5x5x5 virtually for the first time. Time was a little over 7 minutes, I was aiming for sub-10, so I'm happy.

 

[mrbiggs]

1:03 on 4x4x4, PB by 8 seconds.

Every part of that solve was extremely smooth and easy, especially for 6-2-2-2 pairing. Fairly close to my goal of sub-1.

also that was part of a LONG cubing session I did tonight of 414 solves (my arms are dead)

i had the 12.30 avg just about 30-40 solves in but I just kept going all night because I was doing amazing!

[rachmaninovian]

48.66 4x4 centres last!!!!!!!
with my hand injury i shouldn't cube...but i couldn't stand it...
but still omg pb by 9s...my last best non lucky was 57s...
I must say that everything was darn smooth on this solve...technically it is non lucky since i skipped no steps...some centre control by picking the best middle edges to solve first...about 38-40s cage and 3 algs to finish the centres

i'm freaking out...sub 50
centres last forever...darn my hand is hurting now...

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

12.26 average in competition for 3x3, that's basically the only good that came out of the Beijing comp.

 

[Mike Hughey]

12.26 average in competition for 3x3, that's basically the only good that came out of the Beijing comp.

Note that he also set the NAR for feet and tied his own NAR for Magic in this competition. Tim's standards are a little different from the rest of us, I think.

 

[ExoCorsair]

17.01 average of 5, 18.13 average of 12. Close...

It's not very exciting beating/equaling my own records (NR for feet, NAR for magic). I guess the NARs for feet are nice, but it's not like anyone in North America practices half as much as I do.

Oh well, I liked the ~40 ranking drop from 3x3, nothing else was that drastic.

 

[Escher]

new 2x2-3x3 relay PB - 17.39.

turns out that i underestimated only knowing half of CLL... I think the 2x2 was around 3-4s, because the first layer was really easy, and i got one of the H cases i know already AUF'd. The 3x3 part was just really, really nice

EDIT
totally unrelated, but i just went on amazon.co.uk and saw that the rubiks cube was 3rd best seller in toys and games

 

[qqwref]

I did K4 on 5x5 and got a 1:48.96 average of 12.

(1:35.63) 1:43.10 (2:05.90) 1:43.92 2:05.89 1:44.22 1:49.77 1:46.04 1:53.87 1:56.51 1:47.28 1:39.02

Seriously this method is like reduction for people who would rather do commutators than edge pairing. Too redux-y and I prefer columns even though it's 10 sec slower.

this is more of a fail but almost first sub 30 average of 12

I wanted to have something special for my 1000th post. I'd say my first sub-15 average of 12, PB average of 5 and PB single is special enough
