If you follow the guidelines for the weekly comp you only have one hour to complete the fmc.

... I will be using a brand new black Panshi with Izo stickers.

Then your Panshi finaly arrived? Cool. Mine came on Monday, but I had to sticker it first. I thought I ordered it prestickered.

Yeah, mine came unstickered too. I liked that I got two sets of hlfbrights Izo's. They are awesome.

Yep, I wrote down my backup solution in 15 minutes, meaning I ave about 45 minutes left to check it for improvement.

I just saw your 4x4 times of the weekly competition, and they kind of demotivate me

Let's go 4 weeks back in time:

I wish I had you 4 X 4 times..

I bet you will pass my 4x4 times soon.

I'll give you a week until your first sub 2 mins in 4x4...

LOL, please don't be demotivated. What are your times?
I was actually more happy with the FMC of 46. ;

Okay, I did an Ao100 color neutral. I have a new technique. I only go for obvious crosses. If nothing is really obvious, then I go to white cross. That way I choose sometimes a white cross over a relative easy (but not very obvious like three conneced edes) other color cross.

I have filmed a few solves:

Oh and by the way I got a new PB of 12.25

....or is that a mistake

 

[MarcelP]

....or is that a mistake

When did I say that?

 

[Schmidt]

It says " Best 12.25 " in the spoiler.

 

[MarcelP]

Ah that is a mistake. I stopped the timer once and forgot to remove. The best time was 23 something.. Not so fast today

 

[Schmidt]

That explains the missing " YAY " reaction

I was actually more happy with the FMC of 46. ;

I had two sub three mins solves so far and usually I average around 3:30 - 4:00... So waaay behind you

 

[MarcelP]

A nice one:
Three edges of cross connected ...

Nice! You made a mistake when you said that it was 18.86 when it should be 18.89. The solve is really smooth and I really like your turning style.

 

[JianhanC]

That's a very pleasant cross to execute 10.44

Oh man.. I tried the scramble a few times after. All I got where low twentis ..LOL 10 seconds is awesome..

Thanks! I think I totally suck..

 

[Kattenvriendin]

First time in a while I pick up the 3x3 again.. oh weird.. tiny.. oh messed up the cross

Whahahaha! I solved it right after and I think it would have been a nice time, if not for the cross *snort*
