I bounce around. I love all my cubes and I have them all either setup really well or modded so it's tough. currently, my about page says the Filacore qiyi ms, but lately I've been using the gan 11 m pro and right now, the Filacore Maglev WRM 2021 ERM.

yeah i modded one of my v9s to take the maglev out and it feels like a more down to earth but i use my regular one more(ball-core)

What’s your setup for your cubes. Mine is usually Martian weight 5 and galaxy.

*breaks his weekly comp pb single*
I got a 12.67, on the second solve, but that scram was weird. only 14 moves I believe.

yusheng du's 3.47 came on a 16-move scram

sorry for late reply, I had something come up. What I do for setup is actually pretty unconventional, and I don't I've told anyone this, but first I put my lubes in a bowl of warm (almost hot water) and then apply. My favorite lubes are cosmos and lunar and my ratio really changes depending on the cube, but I average about one drop of cosmos in the tracks with three drops of lunar along and 2 drops of lunar and one teeny cosmos one on the pieces. heating up the lube makes it really fluid and it breaks in really quickly and then thickens up as it cools making for a really creamy and well mixed result. oop, almost forgot about centers. only if the cube has spring noise, I use a brush and using only one drop of lunar: lube the washer, underside of the screw head, and the top and bottom of the spring.

wow, thanks to oll, I now know my first alg that has an s move.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

pb ao5 and single in weekly comp woohoo lessgetit. it was luck tho, on two of the scram I knew the oll's and one had a free pair.

 

[artless1der]

wow, thanks to oll, I now know my first alg that has an s move.

which OLL are you using S moves?

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

which OLL are you using S moves?

the last one on the list

 

[Garf]

which OLL are you using S moves?

Probably S R U R’ U’ R’ F R f’, or a dot.
Wait I was thinking about the inverse f R’ F’ R U R U’ R’ S’.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

the one where all of the edges are flipped but the corners are good.

Oh I use M’ U2 M U2 M’ U M U2 M’ U2 M. What alg do you use?

 

[artless1der]

the one where all of the edges are flipped but the corners are good.

I still use an Rw moves alg for that I think
buut, that does help me keep my Roux-focus heightened

Okay, here are my goals for the comp. it's one month away, but I have four events to practice and I'm very busy so the grind starts yesterday.

2x2: sub 3 single, sub 5 avg. (I get this pretty often in weekly so unless I have nerves, I should be fine)
3x3: sub 15 single, sub 16 avg. (this is a bit pushing it, but I like a challenge)
4x4: sub 50 single, sub 59 avg. (easy! and I lied...and I jinxed myself)
Pyra: sub 9 single, sub 15 avg. (if this happens then yay)

I hope to make second round in at least one of the nxn events. I'm making the bold and crazy prediction that Max Park will win 3x3 and 4x4.
