4x4 pb single in the weekly comp of 50.72!!! I caught it on camera but I think I accidentally deleted the video lol.
Also had a very solid 3x3 session today and broke my mo3, ao5, and ao12 pbs! I can't wait until I get a sub-10 3x3 ao5!

Yay double PB on megaminx!
I got a PB single of 1:15.25 which was part of my first sub-1:25 ao5 (also first sub-1:30 ao5!)
Megaminx average of: 1:24.325
Solves: 1:19.385, 1:21.697, (1:33.512), 1:31.893, (1:15.258)
The 1:19 is also pb2 lol. My megaminx pb single was literally last set in April of last year.
Also good luck to those who are also going to comps tomorrow!

Time for my competition recap of NoVa Cube Winter 2024! I got to meet @jawklqnn in person, which was really cool! Overall this was an amazing comp, probably my best yet. I double PR'ed in every event I competed in and got some insane results!
3x3:
In the first round I got a terrible average of 12.93 and single of 11.56 (I counted a 14 by DNFing with a corner twist). Luckily, in the 2nd round I made a comeback. I got an amazing 11.60 average and a 9.01 single! These results easily complete my goals for 3x3 and the 9.01 is my overall PB6!
2x2:
2x2 gave me my best results of the competition and it was the highlight of my day. I got a solid 3.74 avg (all counting times within 0.1) and an amazing 0.75 single!!!!!!! It was a 5 or 6 mover I think and this places me 35th in the United States and 150th in the world!!! Also 3rd in my state right behind the Khanani brothers! It was the fastest single of the entire competition! I easily made my goals for this event.
Megaminx:
Megaminx was also very crazy. I got an overall Pb ao5 of 1:20.17 (Pb ao5 by 4 seconds!?!?!) and an overall Pb single of 1:14.52!!! This was probably due to me using my friend's cube, which instantly dropped my times. Easy goal completion.
Square-1:
Square-1 is the only event that I'm not completely satisfied with the results because I failed one of the goals. I got a pretty bad average of 19.90, but I did get a nice single of 13.76 which destroys my expectations for single! My IRL friend also podiumed for the first time in square-1 and got double state record!
Even though I only competed in 4 events, I got so many insane results that I would never have expected! The only time I really had nerves was during 3x3 round 1 so that is really nice.
-Happy cubing!

Dropped my 2BLD pb by 13 seconds to 11.88 in the weekly comp! I finally got a solution I could one-look.
I've also started learning CLL and as you can see I the title, I've already learned 14/42. I have the H cases all memorized, and I think I might go on to the T cases next, but I'm not sure.

Great job on the 2BLD PB!
I think that T and U will be the best to learn next then maybe Pi and L saving S and aS for last, but I am not all too experienced with 2x2 CLL so this may be partially wrong.

I beat my 2x2 ao5 of 2.69 --> 2.67 yay! One of my only PBs I didn't beat in the year of 2023, along with my fmc single and 7x7 single lol
I also beat my 2x2 pb ao12 with these times!
And I also lowered my pb ao100 a bit to 3.60! I also learned two more Pi CLLs. I forgot about @AJT17 's advice, but I guess it doesn't matter that much.

Very epic update for 3x3! Bought the Rs3m v5 and it is so epic compared to my old Gan 356m. Literally already broke all my PBS with it! This is my 2nd sub-10 mo3 from 9.99 --> 9.88
From 10.49 --> 10.47 --> 10.41
From 11.10 --> 11.02
I also got my ao100 down from 12.10 --> 11.84! Finally sub-12!
And I even broke my pb single from 8.563 all the way down to 7.845!!! And it was fullstep!!!

I got a 2BLD pb single in the weekly comp of 8.35!
And I also got a square-1 pb single of 9.75!!!
Scramble: (1, 0) / (3, 6) / (3, 0) / (-3, 0) / (-1, -1) / (0, -3) / (1, -3) / (-3, 0) / (-3, -2) / (2, -4) / (1, 0) /
Solution:
3,0/ CS
-3,-5/3,-3/3,0/3,0/-1,-1/-3,0/-3,0/ OBL
0,-5/-3,0/3,3/6,-3/6,0/-3,5/0,-3/1,1/-1,2/3,3/0,-3/1,1/-1,2/3,1 PBL
21 Slices in 9.75 seconds = 2.15 SPS so slightly higher than my last pb

Wow, you are progressing fast at SQ-1, at least since last time I checked in on this thread. What do you average in SQ-1 now?
