Wait, you have solve a Rubik's Cube with one hand... in under 13 seconds??? Dang, that is fast. I can't even solve that fast right now. Probably could before, though.

Pretty lucky scrambles, done on a cosmic qiyi ms I got today. I'll probably make a review soon.

Straight up yoinked it from him Eli smh.

 

[gsingh]

So, I'm gonna start grinding big cubes. First 4x4, then 5x5, then 6x6, and then 7x7.
Goals:
4x4: Sub-28 AO500
5x5: Sub-50 AO500
6x6: Sub 1:40 AO100
7x7: Sub 2:30 AO50

4x4 starts now. I'll try to achieve my goals by 2023. (For 4x4)

What big cubes do you use, I like the mgcs.

 

[gsingh]

Angstrom Mgc 4x4
Moyu Aouchuang WRM 5x5
Mgc 6x6
Mgc 7x7

 

[Luke Solves Cubes]

Angstrom Mgc 4x4
Moyu Aouchuang WRM 5x5
Mgc 6x6
Mgc 7x7

Do you think they are all worth getting if I have all the mgcs, more specifically the angstrom 4x4 and the aochuang?

For the 4x4, a stock Mgc is fine if you set it up well. I got the angstrom version because my stock Mgc was old and had started to feel very sluggish. Plus I wanted to try a premium cube.
For the 5x5, I feel like the Aouchuang is for sure better than the Mgc, but that may be because mine is 2 years old and feels even slower than my 4x4. Newer Mgc's are definitely faster than mine is. So it's mostly just personal preference. I prefer the WRM because it has a more premium and slightly faster feel.

How do you set up your MGC 4x4? If I have a 5 month old MGC, should I wait to get the Aochuang or get it now?

Idk how Gurshan set his up, but one of the best ways is with an angstrom setup, or good old fashioned silicone. The Wr m 5x5 isn't significantly better then the mgc, there isn't really a reason to upgrade for a while anyway.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier.
My old one had some mystic+ DNM in it.
Getting the WRM will probably make no difference to your times, 5 months is nothing.

On an Angstrom Mgc I got earlier this week (along with some other stuff. I'll do a written review later).

So, I got:
RS3M 2021 Maglev: This cube arrived really dry, and I didn't like it at all. I put in some mystic, and it sped up by a decent amount, and it's pretty great now. I have the magnet kit that I will install later this week.

Gan I Carry: This cube turns really well for a smart cube. I got a 4.55 on it, which is PB3. It's not on the level of the flagships, but it's not a bad cube. Way better than the Rubik's Connected.

Gan X V2: This thing is AMAZING. One of my favorite cubes. It has a very nice, papery smooth feel. For only $30, I give it a 10/10.

Angstrom Mgc 4x4: This cube arrived pretty slow, but after some light breaking in, it sped up considerably. My new main.

Progress:
Have not done much 4x4, but I have been doing 3x3. I got a 4.55 single on the Gan I carry, which is PB3.

04.55s Speedsolving solve by Gurshan Singh on Cubeast

cbst.link

The solve had amazing TPS. The F2L had pretty good look ahead and was extremely lucky. I basically didn't pause at all to recognize LL, due to a technique I thought of around a month ago. (It probably already exists but I couldn't find anything.) I'll most likely post about it later.

Down stacking is pretty fun.

If I had down stacked the solve I wouldn't have had 1.51 seconds of pauses.

Idle time ≠ Pauses for recognitions.

I would rather not restart a cheating accusation argument so I will just choose not to respond to any further comment. I also realized that even if you are faking things yet, you are hurting no one but yourself. Like Jayden said, your competition times are the only things that matter. You can make claims but when you go to a comp people see what should be expected of you,

I've never been to a competition and claim to average on the border of sub-11 but no one truly knows if I'm being honest of not because I haven't proved myself. You have not proved yourself either but you are making much more impressive claims than me. The only proof we have is your WCA comp results and that one video you sent. Thos are both very bad items of evidence for validity. Your WCA results do not at all align with your claims. And the video is perhaps an even worse piece. Your fingertricks are awful for what somebody should have at that speed and not only were your times much worse than what you claimed but you were also using purposely easy scrambles which should have allowed you to get much better times. Not only was the average worse but you.. did not count a bunch of bad solves? I wonder what the average would have been if you were honest with yourself and included those bad times. Say, I could get a sub-9 average even! All I need to do is only count sub-9's and low 9's! Where do we draw the line?

Like I said, I will respectfully read any response you give but I do not wish to get into a whole debate about this.

And in case it helps I wrote this while listening to Weird Al with a smile on my face so read this small post with a positive voice.
