[Unofficial] 13.17 Roux avg12 with much better lighting than last time.

[5BLD]

Should've been sub-13, but I started concentrating on the second last solve. I find myself faster when I'm in a sort of daydreaming state...
When I start concentrating, I just tense up and not look ahead...
But the first 13 solves are usual-ish.

I will put the times here when I can be bothered, but they re shown at the end of the video, I hope.
Oh, and ignore my tuneless whistling; it helps me not concentrate too much

Amazing Roux skills. Could You do a SpeedBLD with this method? I'd like to know how long You look for the pieces.

 

[5BLD]

Thanks

SpeedBLD?
Well waffle has done it. But I'm not gonna put myself through that madness

But really, if you want to do it, have a go!
I'm just not up for it right now haha...

 

[antoineccantin]

Still with the type C?

 

[5BLD]

Nope.
My friend got me a zhanchi over the summer break from hong kong because that where his grandparents live.
This cube is partly responsible to my sudden drop in times

That reminds me, I should lube and tension it. I never lube my cubes lol.

 

[Kirjava]

Well waffle has done it.

Kir did it first :3

 

[5BLD]

Really? Thats cool; have you got a video of it? I'm always amazed by speedBLDs...

I HAVE to try this... It looks fun

 

[JonnyWhoopes]

Why must I be so slow =(. I've been stuck at 14-15 for like 9 months now.

Good job, it's been fun watching you progress as a cuber and as a person. Now go beat BigGreen. Also, get faster at CMLL.

 

[5BLD]

Thanks! =)
yup, my CMLL and second block have always been slow, ever since I was a beginner... Heh, I think I might regret the constant lack of work...
And yeah looks like I've gone quite a way since I joined speedsolving... In both ways.

Hope you get sub-14 soon.

 

[jms_gears1]

im stuck at like 17 seconds xD But I dont practice at all anymore.

Congrats, and I really like watching you solve, its really fluid.

as for your CMLL I feel like its mostly you dont try and see it as you finish the SB.

tbh though its not bad at all (CMLL i mean)

 

[PandaCuber]

wow that was really good.

 

[Phlippieskezer]

Nice. I really like how you do your blocks. Well done.

(LSE and CMLL are pretty normal, though, at least in my eyes)

 

[uberCuber]

I love your solves; they look so cool. I'm going to go practice some Roux now, since it's my worst out of the "Big 4" methods

Yeh, my CMLL isn't AWFUL anymore, but it's still the 'weakest link...'

Nice. I really like how you do your blocks. Well done.

Thanks, my blocks are a bit different to most people's, and they are rather fast for my ability if I say so myself

Thanks; Roux looks cool doesn't it hm?
Good luck with it, you might even want to switch

 

[Phlippieskezer]

How so?

And CMLL is also my weakest point, which I've always considered funny, since it's the most "brute force" step.

 

[5BLD]

My first block (when necessary) uses quite a few E moves and Uw/Bw moves which is somewhat uncommon.
And CMLL is also my weakest point; I cant seem to execute the alg fast without locking up...

 

[collinbxyz]

Junk. I could do this any day fool. just shut up
/Jorghi impersonation

But seriously, too bad you didn't get sub-13, but amazing nonetheless!

 

[5BLD]

Thanks
Lol jorghi. He would've said "faz can do better"

 

[BC1997]

Cool you have a Zhan Chi? I have a GuHong lol. Still, you seem to be doing really well. How long have you been cubing?

 

[5BLD]

Yes, my kind friend has gotten me a zhanchi
I've been cubing for 7 months now.
