What times make you good?

[Daniel Wu]

Beginner: 30+
Intermediate: 15-30
Advanced: 10-15
Expert: <10

 

[userman]

YAY! I am Advanced! Finally someone says I am "Good"

 

[4EverCuber]

@Rpotts very nicely articulated.

 

[jerry533482]

I figure this:

50s+ - beginner
late 20s-late 40s - intermediate
~15~-mid 20s - advanced
<15 - expert
<10 - world class

That puts me at advanced (sub 20s-early 20s).

My reaction to your post is:

Lol noobs making scales to feel good about themselves

My reaction to your post is:

[Rpotts]

yea sub15 is definitely not expert. Thanks though.

 

[BC1997]

50+ = beginner
25-49 = intermidiate
15-25 = advanced
sub-15 = expert
sub-10 = world class
sub-8 = Feliks

 

[uberCuber]

So I have been reading this and some of your scales are kind of ridiculous.
First, here is an analogy to another thing where skill is measured by score or percentage: Guitar Hero. I used to play it a lot and got quite good. I've beating every song on Guitar Hero 3, 5, World Tour, Metallica, on Expert and have 100%'d a bunch of songs on these games too. Compared to your normal person, I would be considered one of the best players ever. But in comparison to the people who are ridiculous and devote hours on end to the game who can 100% every song on any game, I wouldn't be considered that good.

Anyway, back to cubing, I know Full OLL and Full PLL and average between 20 and 25 seconds on any given solve. Again, compared to the majority of people I am fast. I know that I am not fast though compared to people who are ridiculous. But when people put up scales like >10 insane, >12 expert, >15 advanced, >20 intermediate, >30 nub, it just doesn't really make sense to me because I know every case for CFOP but yet my lookahead is lacking and my tps could improve. Obviously I don't want to be considered an expert; that isn't the point of the post, but I'm just saying that some of your scales don't make sense when you apply it to every cuber since the vast majority is not sub-20 or even sub-15 for that matter.

Purposed scale (Using the Guitar Hero difficulties)
Beginner: 1:30 and up
Easy: :50 to 1:30
Medium: :30 to :50
Hard: :20 to :30
Expert: :12 to :20
Expert +: :12 and down

 

[ElectricDoodie]

I want to use your Guitar Hero difficulty style.
And by the way, to me your scale seems to be not realistic enough. It's all opinions in the end, though.

Here's mine:
Beginner: 1:00+
Easy: 30-60 secs
Medium: 20-29 secs
Hard: 15-19 secs
Expert: 14-10 secs
Expert+(Whatever that means): 9 and under.

 

[tozies24]

In the newer games there is an expert plus for drumming, I didn't really know what to call it though. it is all opinions

going, of course, by the fact that Guitar Hero Hard is easy

 

[nerd]

im intermediate on basically all of them

 

[Georgeanderre]

Beginner - Sub minute
Intermediate - Sub 30
Advanced - Sub 20~
Expert - Sub 15
Master - Sub 10 ... or Faz
Faz - just Faz

Makes me intermediate with most methods

ZOMGZ Fridrich!!! - 25-40
Oh the correct name is CFOP.... - 20-25
Look at me I'm so fast / I'm stuck, please help me - 17-20
So you actually have to learn all OLL's? - 15-17
Cool, I might make it into finals of comps! - 13-15
just can't make it into the top - 12 - 13
Damn those fast guys keep stealing my podium place - 11
Maybe I should change some PLL algs... world class - 10
YESS Sub-10 I matter now top 25 - in the world - 9
Gah n00bs should stop asking what cube I use... - 8 and faster

Hmm, guess I still need to knock off a second before I realise I'm using the wrong name.
