Orion's progression thread: upcoming competition (no hopes)

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

Yeah mega is cool, but all the cool kids are practicing clock.

Word! I'm waiting on my Qiyi Clock but I average about 20 with my Shengshou. I get that clock may not be fun to watch but soz m8s, we love clock and it is objectively one of the most fun events.

I just got a PB AO5! Beat my previous average by about half a second, but small improvements are improvements nonetheless.

Clock is fun to watch if you pretend that the time of day is changing with each move.

You know that average I got up there? I destroyed it with a 21.26 AO5! I switched over to my Weilong WRM and immediately I got better.

I've decided to set aside specific practice hours for cubing. At least 30 mins grinding NxNs and 20 minutes attempting to learn a new puzzle like Squan or Mega

Mega! Mega! Mega!!!

I think what imma do is take a break from 2x2 and 3x3. Learn Mega (@Garf would be proud) get better at Clock, learn Yau for 4x4, learn Squan, etc. Unfortunately school starts in 3 weeks so I'm gonna be practicing a lot less than I usually do, but expect me to be more active on the forums (I get distracted on here due to ADHD, stay focused kids).

yau for 4x4 is actually fun, just learn 3-2-3 and the solve will feel satisfying af
school starts next week for me, and I have band camp this week (oooooffff)
have fun with mega

I haven't been posting much since I've been doing a ton of other things. Moving across town, school starting soon, summer work, Bot Scouts, it leaves me with very little time to cube. But good news: I am almost entirely done learning Megaminx and have a goal to learn 2x2 CLL (and anti-CLL subsequently) by the end of the year. Stay tuned, cos when school starts I'm going to be a lot more active (getting distracted in class goes hard).

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

I LEARNED MEGAMINX! Unfortunately I'm very, very slow (averaging about 7 minutes) but I will likely be improving fast. Onto CLL!

Do like 300+ solves and you'll solve under 2 minutes.
