What is the hardest barrier you've faced?

[kunparekh18]

As the title says, which is the most annoying/longest stuck at/hardest to break barrier for you people?

I've been stuck at 21-22 seconds OH since the start of September.

Sub-7 on 3x3 is obviously the hardest barrier.

Do you have to had gone through it?

I think the hardest barrier for me was getting a sub10 single. I was averaging sub15 before I finally got one, yet I knew people averaging 17+ who had managed it.

Yeah, even that counts.

The most frustrating was getting sub15; while it didn't take incredibly long, it just frustrated me so much that I was so close to a goal of mine, but wasn't able to get it.

It took me surprisingly long to get sub 25

Probably the time I walked into a wall on the Great Wall. That rock is pretty hard stuff. It hurt.

Sorry. Seriously though, with barriers I don't really know since I rarely time myself solving so I don't know when I passed most of my barriers. I know I got stuck for a while around 22 seconds though. Then I went on vacation without a cube and came back averaging 18 seconds.

Getting a sub 10 single took forever. Getting a sub 20 single felt like it took a lifetime, but it was really a month or two.

Sub 10 single for sure. I'm still working on it. I tend to never get skips/lucky cases in practice, which makes my single PB far less impressive than my average PBs. I've never really faced a barrier when it comes to averages.

The hardest barrier I've faced was a sub-20 single which was INCREDIBLY lucky because right as I finished my F2L the entire last layer was solved. I still can't believe it happened like that!

The hardest barrier is always the next one.

 

[Ruben]

the only barrier i've face, and still am facing, is my 30 second avergae. i can t get any lower than that, no matter how much i practice its been months already

 

[tx789]

So far sub 20. Because I wanted to be sub 20 for so long before I was.

 

[uberCuber]

Well, I got sub-15 at 3x3 less than a year after starting to cube, but didn't get sub-12 until over 3 years after starting to cube, so you could say I was stuck at that barrier for a pretty long time. I think that was more due to lack of practicing 3x3 than an actual inability to improve though.

I must admit now that I think about it, sub 12 is giving me some trouble. I've been this speed for almost more than a month. Since I've been dropping like a second per month, this feels like a wall . However, I'm sure it will come just like sub 13, sub 14, and sub 15.

It took me more than half a year to get sub 25. I was stuck at 26 secs for sooooo long. Now that I broke that I have had already a sub 23 Ao100 in a few weeks.

Heh. I got a 12.78 despite averaging in the high 20s. Just got really lucky.

Sub 15 is really hard, also sub 10 Single
