Eli Apperson's progression thread

[Ultimatecuber0814]

Even though I didn't get any 3 Bld successes, I'm still pretty happy with the weeks work. I wasn't even really planning on doing any solves this week, so all things considered I think I did pretty will.
My Ao500 for the week:
3x3: 12.49
Pretty good, I would like to bring my global down to sub 12 by the comp
2x2: 4.09
Very happy with this, I think sub 3.5 is definitely attainable by the comp

Nice!
Btw what's the name of the comp you're going?

[Cuber2s]

to be fair, I'm doing the same thing

 

[Eli Apperson]

Alright, about to go get a good nights sleep and starting grinding again.
Just a refresher for tomorrows schedule:
3x3 Comp Sim Ao50
2x2 Comp Sim Ao50
3 Blind Ao5
4x4 Ao25

 

[Eli Apperson]

Todays 4x4 Ao25: 53.53
I pretty much need to be sub 50 to guarantee finals, so I think it is attainable.

I'm confused, is that 4x4?

yep srry

 

[Eli Apperson]

Ok I'm going to have to stop using the tengyun for blind
Bc the corner cutting is so good, it makes me lock up way more when I use a normal 3x3 for normal solving. I guess I will start using the WR M 2019 for blind.

 

[Eli Apperson]

Just got my orders, and I might be maining some new cubes. The cubes in the running are the WR M maglev, Celaritas WR M 2021, and the gan 251 pro. All have a lot of potential and I'm going to be doing a lot of solves tonight to determine.

 

[Eli Apperson]

200 solves later, my valk 2 has been replaced. The GAN 251 is very fast, but also very stable and doesn't really lock up. I set it up with some 50k, and it is perfect. I am also glad to announce that I am sub 4 on 2x2 now!

 

[Eli Apperson]

New 3x3 Main: WR M Maglev. I set it up with 30k on the tracks, 10k and mystic on the pieces, and weight 5 on the core.

told ya you would like it. Only cube that can overtake the original worm

I have the 2021 too, and it is just too slow for me. I like the feeling better than the maglev, but I get better times with the maglev

I've tried the 2021, but find it too fast for me

idk why, but my wrm maglev is super slow. Probably my setup or cube

 

[Eli Apperson]

Just did a 3 blind solve, stopped the timer, took off my blindfold to see the cube solved!




But not really, the bottom 4 edges were off.
Very sad

 

[Eli Apperson]

How often does this happen???
