Garf's Progression Thread - Beating Hard Levels in GD (Hardest is Bloodbath)

WHOA BIG CUBE GOD SLOW DOWN MAN (but seriously, this is awesome. congrats!)

Lol.
I have 1:08 average but this was savy consistency.

 

[Garf]

Why didn’t anyone tell me that clock was easy to grind? I went from having a 17.99 single to a 12.25 single. And a 14.96 ao5.

Clock is really easy to get faster at until you hit about 7-8 seconds, then it takes a LOT more time I've found. Nice progress!

Yeah. It’s surprising since I use a Shengshou clock. I don’t know if I’ll get a QiYi in the future. I’ll pull a Jperm and keep using it until it seems like I can’t get any faster, then I’ll try a QiYi.

YOU WOULDNT LISTEN!!

Na, I’m just kidding; it’s a pathway to ways of the dark side; the Meme Events. Now you will start loving events that don’t make sense such as 2x2 and 5BLD (apparently it’s easy to grind solves and is mindless)

The path to becoming an allrounder lol.

NO!!!!!!

so i guess I have gotten faster on my shengshou clock lol.

and I have a 11.x ao5 as well.

[Garf]

Also I've been trying to learn 7 simul, but the only times I have gotten successes is when I'm following along solves. I think I should do an example solve of myself so that maybe @Davian can help me figure out where my memo goes wrong.

 

[Garf]

So idk why but I can’t do normal 7 simul. However, I can do 7-simul flip, so I’m going to learn that first before moving on to normal 7 simul.

Learn bpaul 7simul it’s ez af

No. I already started doing solves with 7 simul flip. I’m not switching.

 

[Davian]

What is your memo? Theres 2 variants. Tommys and BPaul. I recommend noflip tho. But memo is a little bit harder.

 

[Garf]

@Davian and @JDAW6 I had learnt Bpaul. Apparently I don’t know names lol.
anyway I’ve been going crazy in clock. I have a pure sub-10 average now and a 8.3 single.

Thats nice! I might make an tutorial how to use tommys normal 7simul. even tough my english sucks.

I didn’t use 7 simul for this. I did it with Flip optimized with pin order, on my modded Shengshou clock. I’m going to start using 7 simul soon tho trust.

Okay. Also buy an qiyi clock. its actually hardware that improves your global. I averaged 10 with sengso clock and then when i bought it i averaged like eight.

Yeah everyone’s been telling me to buy a QiYi lol. I can’t at the moment but when I get sub-10 I’ll probably be able to get one.

 

[Isaiah Scott]

I think that buying a Qiyi Clock will also make you enjoy the event a lot more. I used a shengshou until I was almost sub 10, and I got the Qiyi clock, and I began to enjoy the event a lot more and also improve quicker, and soon enough, clock was my main event

 

[Garf]

So uh my progress has been scattered across multiple planes of existence.
In case you need the catch-up: I’ve decided to practice clock.
Now you might be wondering: “Garf, why the hell would you decide to practice clock? I thought you didn’t like sprint events.”
Yeah well I don’t. But one reason: all rounding.
So IG I should post my averages.
2x2: 3.5
3x3: 10.7
4x4: 38s
5x5: 1:10
6x6: 2:20
7x7: 3:20
Clock: 10.9
Mega: 55s
Pyra: 7-8s
Squan: 20s
3x3 bld: 2:30
3x3 OH: 25-30s?
4x4 and 5x5 bld: never have gotten a success
3x3 multi: never have done more than one cube.
