Nice! I really enjoy your vids.

Oh,... I just made my first edited video. I have a new OS (Ubuntu) and I am trying out different editors. I did this (the cool slowmotion) with OpenShot:

[sneaklyfox]

Awesome solve and cool slomo.

 

[Rocky0701]

Nice solve! It's a shame that it couldn't have been sub 12 though

 

[DeeDubb]

Must be the Owl City...

 

[MarcelP]

Awesome solve and cool slomo.

Thanks!! That will not happen again soon I guess

Nice solve! It's a shame that it couldn't have been sub 12 though

Yeah, looking at the slowmotion I see many mis flicks etc. Could have been faster. But then again. I was cubing above my comfertable looking ahead speed and that causes me to cube that sloppy.

Must be the Owl City...

Great song huh?

Great job! I see you safely sub 20 in the near future

 

[MarcelP]

Great job! I see you safely sub 20 in the near future

Thanks! I really hope so, but I think it will take a while. I do not really mind though. I never dreamed of becomming as fast as I am right now. So sub 20 will only be a bonus.. LOL

New PB Ao12 today:


Best average of 12: 20.15
23-34 - 19.44 19.90 (18.96) 19.64 19.40 20.45 21.82 20.73 (22.28) 20.33 20.57 19.21

I was a little while in 'the zone'. Looking ahead perfectly turning slow getting all 19's But right after number 34 I lost it and got nothing but 22's and 23's.. Ao50 ended up 22.22

EDIt: btw the first 23 where with AoLong but it was too fast for me today. At solve 23 I was averaging 23.XX. Then I swithed to my old Weilong V2 wich feel soooo slow then (but lovely controllable).

Welcome Marcel!
Good introduction. Nice to have some more of us "oldies" on here (I'm 39).
Hope you enjoy it here.

Wow, you have really been improving lately. Great job!

Congrats Marcel, good job! . Was that 190+ solves in one sitting?!

 

[MarcelP]

Congrats!

how was the rest of the 2 hour session?

Thanks. I had an 22.02 average

There was also this one:

151. 14.00 D R2 D' F2 D U2 L2 U2 F2 R2 B2 R B U B F2 L2 D' L F' U

I did it on yellow cross. I can't remember if I had some sort of skip.

Yayyy!!!! Knew you could do it! You're awesome!!

[ BigSmile ] Thanks! [/ BigSmile ]

Yay marcel! You'll get the ao100 soon!

I do not know about that but it might some day

Congrats Marcel, good job! . Was that 190+ solves in one sitting?!

Yeah.. No problem. I did well over 300 solves over the whole day. The first 100 before my family came out of bed and the rest before dinner. Total average 22.34

I'm lucky if I get time to do that many in a week. I allow an hour for an ao50 (usually takes a bit less) and try to do one each weekday.

Yeah, but it is not usual for me to do so many solves on a sunday (or any day). But like I said, I was cube crazy because I was getting close to that sub 20 PB. I wish I could do 300 solves every day.. Like today I have not done any solves (yet).

 

[mark49152]

I wish I could do 300 solves every day.

My only chance of that is to get sub-8

 

[MarcelP]

My only chance of that is to get sub-8

LOL! Or sub 7 like Feliks

I just did an Ao100 PLL training. Man I suck:


Mean: 3.12
Average: 3.11
Best time: 1.62
Median: 3.12
Worst time: 5.52
Standard deviation: 0.70

You can do that in a few minutes. Can you do that also? I want to reference with your times.. I think I should be doing so much better.

 

[mark49152]

Can you do that also? I want to reference with your times.. I think I should be doing so much better.

Yeah I will give that a go when I have some time. Holiday weekend = limited cubing, and I'm late with the substep comp results as well...

Do you do PLL attacks? That's the way I usually practice PLLs. My average is about 57.

Edit: did your 3.12 ao100 include recognition?
