Rusty?! 7.19 ao100 is so fast...

Rusty?! 7.19 ao100 is so fast...

I mean the average isn't terrible for me, the solves were pretty bad though.

 

[espeed]

haha just noticed you tied your PR in the round after.
Impressive ao100. I wish I was sub8

 

[gsingh]

I went in fully expecting an average above 4 seconds

 

[gsingh]

I'm practicing a bit of 5x5 now since I have a comp this weekend (first comp in 2 months!) with 5x5. I'm averaging a bit slower than I was at my peak, around 1:10 compared to 1:08

 

[gsingh]

Mains and Goals for SacCubing XVII 2024: (first comp in 2 months yay)

3x3: Low 7 Average (PR), Sub 6 Single (PR)
Cube: Angstrom Gan 12 M Maglev (yes I switched back)

4x4: Sub 34.5 Average (PR), Sub 30 Single (PR)
Cube: Angstrom VinCube 4

5x5: PR Average, PR Single
Cube: Moyu Aochuang WRM

Clock: PR Average, PR Single
Cube: Qiyi

@gsingh how long did it take to break in your VIN? I'd like to know how much pain I'll have to put myself through before I can seriously enjoy this cube lol.

It only took me like 5 solves iirc. By the end of my first session with it, it was pretty much perfect.

hmmm.
Maybe I'm still not used to mine, but I'm averaging over 53 seconds currently, when on my AoSu I'd average almost fully sub-50.

Is it too tight? Too slow? Have you tensioned the cube? Some people like different things from cubes, so you have to find what works for you. Keep breaking it in, it should get somewhat faster over time

It just doesn't seem to give me the same times the AoSu did, but idk if its the size/turning feel throwing me off rn or what.

It's not bad at all, I set it up really nice. But maybe it still needs break in, more than the 50ish solves I've done on it so far.

 

[gsingh]

PLL at 1:03 on 5x5 officially, time was a 1:09. I hate E Perms.

Average was 1:10, which is PR by 4 seconds and around what I global now. It would have been sub 1:10 had I not messed up on the 1:09, but I'm still really happy with it.

4x4 was mid but I still have finals left. 3x3 was decent, still have finals left for that too. And clock.
