[ThomasJE]

Good time machine.

Goal: To actually learn how to properly solve the 4x4 and stop taking apart the last layer to solve it.
Deadline: ∞

http://www.kungfoomanchu.com/guides/andy-klise-4x4x4-guide-v2.pdf

Learn the Parity algorithms, and the rest is normal 3x3.

 

[Iggy]

Goals by the end of the year:
17/17 multiBLD
5BLD success

Might not get the 17/17 though, I haven't properly practiced in weeks.

Got 5BLD a looooong time ago and improved like hell since then
Kinda failed MBLD, I got a 11/17 in 59:xx like a month ago. I can probably sub 55 17 if I just practiced and worked on accuracy.

Goals before Singapore Open (22nd Feb):

Consistently average sub 8 on 5BLD
Sub 50 global average on 4x4
Get back to practicing MBLD

 

[maxcube]

Recently hit sub15, which was something I was working towards.

Next goals -
- Learn full OLL
- sub14, and then sub13
- Learn M2 and become relatively consistent at BLD
- sub1 4x4(heck, I do so little 4x4, I don't even know what I average right now)

No deadline

[Clarkeeyyy]

Top 15 in UK sum of ranks.

All you have to do is compete in 6x6 and 7x7 for a mean of 3 and you will be at-least drawing for 15th .

Goals for 2014

2x2 - Learn CLL.
3x3 - Learn WV, COLL, and some other stuff and be sub 13.
4x4 - Sub 45, maybe 40 if I keep up the motivation I have had over the past few months.
5x5 - Sub 1:45
6x6 - Sub 3:30
7x7 - Sub 5:30

Edit - Wow, this is the 2014th post in this thread.

[PianoCube]

Deadline: end of 2013

Will probably forget/give up some of the goals, but all of it should be doable.

I hasn't practiced much the last half year, so I'm pretty much the same at everything. The only noticeable improvement is that OH has gone from ~32 to ~28.

 

[Daniel Wu]

Goals for 2014.

- Retire from 6x6, 7x7, and Clock. I want to focus more on other events and I have much less time.
- Get a weekend off from work this summer to go to Nationals 2014.

Global Averages (a100)
2x2: 3.30
3x3: 11.50
4x4: 55.00
5x5: 1:40
3x3 OH: 19.00
3x3 BLD: 2:30
Pyraminx: 3.90
Megaminx: 1:40
Square-1: 25.00
Skewb: 12.00

I started practicing 14 events. Then magic and master magic went away and I was down to 12 events. Now I give up at giant cubes and clock and skewb was added. So now I practice 10 events.

 

[pipkiksass]

Goals for 2014:

3x3: full OLL, sub 15 Ao100
4x4: sub 1:30 maybe? No idea how long it takes me to solve it, as I've not yet timed a solve! Also, get round to Konsta/Florainning my SS V5.
Pyra: get one. Learn how to solve it. Poke stuff with it, coz it's pointy, like.

I found trying to do the 42,195 cube marathon in a month helped. After doing a few thousand solves within a week, I was sub-5.
