You're turning style is very smooth and fun to watch! I wish I could solve that quickly, very nicely done!

I can't help but wonder how much faster you would be with a clean, new set of stickers on your cube. Your stickers are really quite terrible, do they not affect your recognition?

 

[Petro Leum]

those tables are way too low..... i wouldve lamented about it. anyway, nice solves and congratz!

Maybe they're not too low if you sit on them?

I personally prefer a low table over a high one.


Anyway, that was awesome to watch. So many crazy fast M moves...

 

[emolover]

Gogo sub WR!!!

 

[Xyphos]

Great solves could've been better maybe the "competition" environment have to do with this ? nervousness ? .. no idea.... he usually gets sub-8 easy.
on the other hand......
OMG Alex/5BLD is 3rd in the world for AVG and I'm like finally lol.

 

[irontwig]

lolwut? Isn't perfectly normal to do worse in competition than at home?

 

[Speedmaster]

Which tension does the cube have?

 

[Mollerz]

Which tension does the cube have?

It's REALLY loose.

 

[applemobile]

So what's the deal with sticker condition these days? Cube doesn't look competition legal, surely.

It was OK'd my daniel.
It's not actually that bad, the worst ones are the centres, and they are only like 20% missing, which is within guidelines iirc.

 

[Speedmaster]

It's REALLY loose.

Why doesn't it pop?
and did he do de mod it himself, or is that a lubix cube?

 

[Kirjava]

Why doesn't it pop?

lol, it does

 

[Petro Leum]

a cube doesnt pop because its too lose, it pops because you are too rude with it. true story.

 

[Speedmaster]

The cube looks very good, did anybody tried it?

 

[5BLD]

lol my solving when im under pressure.
fantastic angle though, i think ill make a better effort next time

 

[god of rubic 2]

Oh wow. Well done.
