Time barriers

[ThatGuy]

What time barriers did you run into? I want to know so I don't get discouraged when I just can't seem to get faster than that time.

(seconds):
60, 40, 35, 30, 27, 24, 23

my top 5
5 - 55 sec (just starting to cube)
4 - 40 (sub 40 was a rarity for me until i got more used to the idea of speed cubing )
3 - 35 (by this point I got the hang of it. when I felt this barrier was impossible to break for a while)
2 - 30 (just switched to roux by this point)
1 - 20 (months of practice and improvement and I broke this barrier. it wasn't until I had to slow down to improve look ahead to get more sub 19 solves)

my current barrier is 16 but I'll break it soon enough

i see....i had one at 45 but today i finally broke it. It dropped to 40 for a few minutes and i broke that too. So now i'm at 30s barrier...

 

[byu]

60, 40, and 20

It dropped to 40 for a few minutes and i broke that too. So now i'm at 30s barrier...

I don't really know if I'd call that a barrier.

 

[StachuK1992]

Yeah..a barrier lasts for AT LEAST a week or so; I was at 30s for about 3 weeks

 

[daeyoungyoon]

I don't even know where I'm at.......Sometimes I'll average around low 30s and sometimes I get like high 40s. But I guess 30sec is my barrier since I only got lower than 30 like twice. Maybe it has to do with switching around petrus and fridrich like every other solves....

I can't get a sub 40 average, and 60 was a tough one as well..
I keep getting 40.2 to 43 second averages of 12..
My goal is to break that tonight though, hopefully.

60, 35, 30, 23-ish

 

[fanwuq]

Single: 35, 16, 12
Average of 5 or 12: 55, 26, 17
Consistent average: 58, 28, 18

 

[ThatGuy]

my times just started to get inconsistent from 30-40. is that a bad thing?

 

[StachuK1992]

It's better than being inconsistent from 40-50

Currently I'm at the sub-20 barrier on 3x3, I get a few sub-20 singles but not too many.
for 4x4 I was at a sub-1:15 average barrier, that all changed when I got a black mefferts today. Got both pb average (1:13 of like 15) and single (see sig)

5x5 I am at the sub-2 barrier.
6x6 I'm trying to get sub-5 average
7x7 consistent sub-7:30

For some reason, I CANNOT get under two minutes on 4x4. My average and single best times are only a few seconds apart, I always get 2:0x.xx but I can't get under 2 minutes.

SAME!

I was stuck at 35-40seconds for the longest time. I started to practice look ahead and it got me to 25-30 (my current time). Hopefully it won't take too long to get sub 25 and 25 or less averages.

50, 45, 35.
- breaking 50 was just about going full PLL (still 2 look OLL), from my advanced version of the beginner method.
- breaking 45 was intuitive F2L, keeping the cube in a steady position during F2L (doing the cross and most pair sequences from any angle with red on front). This was not painful by the way, just commitment and discipline.
- breaking 35 on averages is still ahead of me. Learning new tricks from badmephisto...

I broke my best 4 days ago with a 26.95. Yeah!!!!

 

[maxcube]

AVERAGE 3x3:

1:20 new to speedcubing
50 new method, Fridrich
30 just took me awhile
20 <--still have not broken

EDIT:

For some reason, I CANNOT get under two minutes on 4x4. My average and single best times are only a few seconds apart, I always get 2:0x.xx but I can't get under 2 minutes.

SAME!

I cant get sub2 on my Eashsheen ever. But with my DX 4x4 I can easily get sub2 solves. But a piece snapped inside it. =(

EDIT #2: I really need to change my sig
EDIT 3: Changed sig
