[Unofficial] Alex Lau: 9.09 avg12 (8.84 avg5) (Roux method)

[5BLD]

Average of 12: 9.09

Time List:
8.69, 8.83, 9.21, 8.86, 8.82, (DNF(10.01)), 9.75, 9.24, 8.98, 9.18, 9.34, (8.11)

I was trying to get sub9 avg12 for a while, but then just did a 'f*** it' average, just to beat my previous one because I kept getting annoyed and pops and stuff.

Also, messing up the mighty F2M'F2UM FTW.

 

[drewsopchak]

How much do you practice?

 

[5BLD]

'Normally' I do an hour or so of random cubing on average. However this month and last 2 months I've tried something different. Like last month I did the 10000 cube marathon which was about 330 solves a day- improved my times a lot.

Now for this month I'm focusing on only L10P. 40 CMLL time attacks a day (which I'm not at all keeping up with and it's been only 6 days) and 500 LSE solves a day.

 

[PandaCuber]

Me gusto .

 

[ThomasJE]

Scrambles? I may try to reconstruct tomorrow. I could use Cube Explorer, but scrambles would definitely help.

How did the marathon improve your times?

 

[Schmidt]

Sooo.. weren't you supposed to be completly CN by now?? It went pretty fast, but I think I saw Yellow as the U face most of the times.

 

[5BLD]

Ya I came to my senses after like a week of trying that CN stuff. He said it's not difficult even if you're fast, but i realised, I knew better because I was at that speed and he wasn't. Now I'm just x2y CN. So yellow or white on top.

I don't have the determination to do it- although it makes me sigh every time I think of full CN and how it's getting further away as I get faster and faster.

If I want to ever be CN I better, better switch now.

How did the marathon improve your times?

Before, I did lots of technique work and stuff. Like F2B practice etc, but rarely doing full solves. That month helped me consolidate, if you like, all the things I had learn months before.

Scrambles? I may try to reconstruct tomorrow. I could use Cube Explorer, but scrambles would definitely help.

Sorry no. I deleted the times right after I did the avg.

Brest, you never cease to amaze me. Nice average btw, your L6E is schweet, I am jelly.

Thanks, been working on it. in this average it was lockups in LSE that made it not sub-9 :/

And thanks so much to Brest- these are really helpful. Truly amazing you actually did all 12

I would have done the average, but Brest beat me to it
