The SpeedSkewber's Progression | comp day help

[TheSpeedSkewber]

Recently, my friend started to cube again.

This really helped me to be motivated to cube and to improve. I hope to get sub 10 by christmas.

Current PB averages for the events i care abt:

3x3: 13.22
2x2: 2.33
Clock: 14.01
Skewb: 7.03

 

[TheSpeedSkewber]

Currently learning OLL! I've learnt around 20 so far and my favourite is probably OLL 50.

also best recorded solve yet

 

[TheSpeedSkewber]

14.22 Stackmat average today. I have a video but it excedes the size limit.

I need to work on:

a) Efficiency (I dont pause often and have high tps, so i need to be more move optimal)

b) sub 0.5 OLL and PLL recognition.

 

[TheSpeedSkewber]

Luckiest scram i've ever gotten. I choked halfway through and i couldve gotten a 6.8

I've been watching a lot of top cubers recently, and i realised that i don't have a main event that i'm really good at. So why not go through 1 by 1 and do each one, starting with the "side" events

You could try to figure out which event is your best event by figuring out your kinch scores.


Here is how you calculate it:

Take the world record if your chosen event, then divide that by your overall PB, then multiply the outcome of that by 100.



Higher means better, so the event with your highest kinch score is usually your best event.



However this doesn't work very well for FMC.

Is there a kinch score calculator tool?

Is there a kinch score calculator tool?

There is, but instead of taking overall PB, it takes official results.


You can also replace official results with world best, but those are hard to find and can be fake.

website to calculate kinch rank / sum of ranks

Can you add an option to exclude blind/FMC? That is certainly a possibility. However I don't want to add every feature under the sun and become cluttered like cstimer (no offense to them tho 🙂) If enough people want the ability to exclude events, I can make it happen.

Apparently, 22.67 with clock (based on official results) but since i havent competed in 3x3 (which is 36.26 kinch score), 3x3 is my best.

Pyraminx average to start off. Didnt realise i would get lucky scrams! Can a pyraminx pro please try the last one?

 

[TheSpeedSkewber]

After trying the last scramble again, there is an INCREDIBLY EASY 7 move solution. :'( too bad i choked.

7 move solution that i didnt see

Watch "7 move solution that i didnt see" on Streamable.

I got 1.838

 

[Enirolf]

I got 1.838

Didn't you get your first pyraminx like a few days ago?

I dont know if I'm pro, but I got 1.64

I didn't use your solution, because I dont like that rotation. I did a solution with 10 moves
Btw, how do you scramble your pyra? Because I dont think you used the official green front, yellow bottom

 

[An Animating Cuber]

I got 3.171 on it

[TheSpeedSkewber]

Just finished learning intuitive L4E (for the third time)

Managed to bring my global down to about 10.55

 

[TheSpeedSkewber]

How should i improve on pyraminx going forward? There seems to be a lack of resources in comparison to other events.

In other news, i'm also starting to practice 2x2. I know ortega at the moment and i am stafying to learn CLL.

 

[SkewbIsTheBestEvent]

I did the same 10 move solution as Enirolf, and got 1.52. I saw both solutions in inspection (First time I've ever done that lol). I tried the other solution and it is definitely harder to execute with the rotation like Enirolf said. Still managed to get 1.67 with that solution.

I got 1.838

The only way you could get Sub-2 with the 7 Move Solution without One-Looking (No way you one-looked a 3-move V without taking at least a minute if you average 8) is that A: You turn like Ezra or B: You had some INSANE recognition. Sorry @TheSpeedSkewber for putting this since it is kind of unrelated to your Progression.

It depends what you average. I would say that if you use beginner L4E you can get at least Sub-5/5/6 global by grinding a ton before learning Advanced L4E (There are plenty of resources on this on YouTube), and with that you can get Sub-4. Make sure your V's are efficient, and watch example solves to get better. You can also use the CSTimer Solvers tool. Click Tools, and then click Solvers, and then click Pyraminx V. You will learn a lot from doing these two things.

Also, trust me, there are a lot of resources. Pyraminx is mainly about practice and TPS, which is why there aren't much videos. BigBLD has way less resources lol.
