DeVry Open 2010

[FatBoyXPC]

I've noticed a lot if I slow down I seem to hit sub20 more but I often feel like it won't help me so it's hard to break the habit of turning too fast. I guess I'm saying I know it does but since it feels slow it doesn't feel like it does.

 

[CitricAcid]

Count on meh being there, IN SUB-20. o_o

 

[FatBoyXPC]

Dude I love your avatar! What are you averaging now?

 

[CitricAcid]

Very low 20s. I expect myself to be sub-20 by then.

 

[FatBoyXPC]

Have you sub20 ao5'd recently?

 

[CitricAcid]

Once or twice, yep.

 

[FatBoyXPC]

I just did 6 or so ao5's and I didn't sub20 once I'm determined though! I look forward to racing you at DeVry Gears is near sub20 as well (he gets a lot of sub20 solves but not a lot in the same average).

I want to race you too. I'm tired of getting pwned by Nlcuber when we race.

Haha yep I'm down to about 12.5-13ish.
EDIT: Lol. 10.76, 12.13, 12.97, 19.93, 16.28 = 13.79
That happens ALL the time. The 19 was a pop.

Wtf, how do you do that so fast?

Ethan: Nice work man. I remember you breaking your official times at Lexington, I bet that felt great. I broke my official times too but if you check, my times at indiana winter weren't too hard to beat lol.

Seth: I'm so struggling to hit sub20. I really need to work on my last layer but it seems today that I keep getting too long for my F2L or a really bad LL. Hopefully I can get down to about 9-10 seconds consistently for my F2L by DeVry..

My official times are really bad.

Since you are so unhappy with him, you'll trade me then? Finally got a sub20 ao5...10:17pm...took 15 times to finally get an ao5 that's sub20, so horrible.

You have an 11 second single, how can you be that unhappy with your times? Going to sub10 single at DeVry? How about Dayton?

My PB avg5 is better than my official single. Lol.

A sub-10 would be cool but I still haven't had an official 3x3 skip in 2H.

 

[cincyaviation]

I need sub 4 2x2 single. I'm gonna practice a bunch of 2x2 now.

 

[Blake4512]

At the comp i'm going to try to get a sub-10 single on Pyraminx, sub-20 average on 3x3, sub-7 average on 2x2, sub-1:50 on 4x4, Sub-1:00 on OH, and sub-5:00 for 5x5.

 

[FatBoyXPC]

My goals are similar to Blake's:

2x2: Single - sub4.97 (want to be in top 1000), Average - sub7
3x3: Single - sub18, Average - sub20
4x4: Single - sub2m, Average - sub3m (Haven't competed in this event yet)
5x5: Average - Sub5m, good possibility I don't make the cuttoff though
Pyraminx: Average - sub10 (I'll have to start practicing a lot more for this)
Magic: Single - sub1.68, Average - sub1.89 (just want to beat both official times)

I think you need to lower that 2x2 goal.
EDIT: There is now an 80% chance i cannot come.

 

[FatBoyXPC]

Why can't you? And why should I lower the goal? I've got a handful of sub5 solves recently. If you are basing these times off my previous times, I'm not doing LBL anymore I'm doing sort of OFOTA / Ortega. I pretty much skip the first step in ss/guimond, then separate the layers then PBL. I don't quite orient and separate the layers like in OFOTA because there are just as many algs for that as CLL. I'll do it ortega if one face is easier to make than a mixed face.

Tennis sectionals on that day, the only hope for me is if my team gets a by in the first round. And you should lower your 2x2 goal because it's pretty easy to get sub 6 with just about anything, especially guimond.
