The Do you want to race to Sub-x thread

[Nacho9]

Does anyone wanna race me to a sub-11 3x3 ao100? (my best ao100 is 11.98)

i'll race you
my PB ao100 is 11.18, but I have not cubed in like 4 months so it will take a while for me to get back to pace.

Sub-45 4x4 Ao100 anyone?

Sub-45 4x4 Ao100 anyone?

i’ll do one (i’m using CVOB now so i average like 47 or 48)
my PB average with CVOB is like 41.xx

What is CVOB

What is CVOB

my 4x4 method
stands for
Caleb Valenzuela’s Optimized Block

What is CVOB

Caleb Valenzuela’s Optimized Block (CVOB) is a new method he created, and is similar to OBLBL but with a more efficient approach (efficient in terms of turn speed. (He hasn’t computed the average movecount yet)
Here are the steps:
Step 1: Solve the Blue and green centers as if you were using Yau (he’ll be more in depth with these steps in the official tutorial)
Step 2: solve a 1x3x4 with the blue center on the left
Step 3: expand the 1x3x4 into a 2x2x3 (making sure you preserve the FL pair) using F3L techniques. Repeat again to expand the 2x2x3 into a 3x3x3 cube
Step 4: solve the front center (in his case it would be usually red) and the DF edge using F3L techniques
Step 5: finish edge pairing (like in Yau)
step 6: solve 3x3 stage using the APB method

Cool, I made my own 3x3 method called PFCL and it stands for Pseudo-cross, F2L, COLL, L8E.

Pseudo-cross: Do EO (which lowers the last step move count) and put either white or yellow edges into a sort of "cross" on the white side, doesn't really matter which ones (this makes f2l easier)
F2L: Normal CFOP method F2L with only natural moves (as to keep EO done)
COLL: do either COLL or OLL/PLL for the last layer corners
L8E: Solve the last 8 edges using commutators.

I average around 25-30 with this method (not counting EO because with that I average like 45-50)

Alright, sounds good! I currently have a 47.x Ao100

anyone wanna race to sub-4 2x2 ao100?
I also average sub-2 3bld, sub-14 3x3, sub-55 4x4, sub-1:45 5x5, sub-1:30 mega, sub-30 squan, sub-7(i think) clock, sub-4 pyra, sub-7.5 skewb, sub-24 oh, sub-3:20 6x6, and sub-5:50 7x7
I haven't cubed in a while but if you wnat to race i can

I might could race 2x2, skewb, and squan, I average 4.5, 6.5, and 27 respectively

I would like to race you in 2x2

 

[TimoChristianCuber]

ok got it!

ok tell me i f you wan to race!

 

[mdcuber9]

I’ll race to 2x2 sub-4 ao100 with you and @Olicube4life if yall don’t mind, also maybe sub-6.5 ao100 for skewb?

ok!

 

[CubeLite]

Uhh anyone wants to race to sub 3 ao1000 / sub 2.8 ao100 / sub 2.5 ao50 on skewb?
(Idk how close or if want to @Kivvi , but it woild be fun, since i think only like 5 people avwrage around that and idk if they are into racing)

 

[Olicube4life]

I average like 10 second for skewb so I don't think I'll join that

I’d love to, signed up for a comp with Skewb today too so some motivation could be nice
Here are my pbs for each category:
3.62 ao1000
3.32 ao100
3.17 ao50

someone wants to race to sub 20 ao100 ?

Nicee, my PBs are faster (3.40, 2.96 and 2.85), but i got them more than a year ago, so now I think we are pretty close, I think we could do ao1000 since we are closer for that and is more important?
