Recommended Speed for Comp

[Pixilized]

Hey! I’m just curious, what speeds would you recommend getting to before entering a competition for each cube? I understand that large times are fine, but if I want a chance of at least getting to the second round what times are recommended. The cubes I’m interesting in competing for are the 3x3, 2x2, Pyraminx, and Skewb.

It depends on what comp you're going to. For some comps, a sub 20 average will make second round, for some you need a sub 10 average(this would probably be only for comps with 2 rounds), it all depends. I would recommend just going as long as you can make time limit.

Edit- I saw you average sub 40. That probably won't make second round, but will make time limit and cutoff so you should be good.

Also I tried not to go on about how you can go to a comp no matter your speed and it's mostly the comp experience that's important. I'm assuming you've heard all that before, but just know that it's completely true.

As long as you can make cutoffs and want to go, then go.

depends, i usually quickly scan all the competitors in the comp (dont do this if it’s a big comp) and see all their averages. But I think if you can make cutoffs and want to join, just go. (it’s all about the experience)

Or you could go to the psych sheet (it will save you so much more time)
