Accomplishment: finally started using megaminx scramble notation and did this ao50 today (all avgs and means and stuff are all PBs except for single lol (2.215 secs of PB single)(PB single is 1:38.700)):

Does this help for stuff like megaminx and bigcubes? Or go medium and try to look ahead more?

Sorry for double post but this is separate.

Lookahead is far more important than turnspeed. I'm only now finding a need to intentionally turn fast upon reaching sub-1:10 at 5x5, with my lookahead being fairly decent by now (and by "fast" I mean relative to what I've been doing; I can still turn my 5x5 quite a bit faster, just not with maintaining lookahead yet). Just keep working on looking ahead and don't worry about turnspeed until you are way faster.

I have decided that I am going to stop at nothing to beat Jay's official 5x5 avg at nats. I will do at least 500 solves between now and nats.

skewb single is just like pyra and 2x2 : no keeps track of it and only depends on scramble( in some cases it is skill aswell)
Click to expand...

1st in the world at Pyra average is 1st in single.
3rd in the world at Skewb average is 1st in single.

It's quite different in these events than 2x2. Any excel pros reading this, r value of single:average for 2x2, Skewb and Pyra top 100?
 
Everyone else is posting 5x5 so why not?

(1:35.66) 1:42.82 1:44.11 1:43.51 (1:48.90) = 1:43.48 PB AO5.

Really awesome since my global average is still well into the 1:50s. My best average of 12 was 1:49.58, which is also a PB, but I'm much happier with the AO5.

That's only because 2x2 is more similar to the more common events than pyra or skewb. 3x3 is most peoples' favorite event, and being good at 3x3 means being able to turn a 2x2 decently well, and having the lookahead to spot an obvious skip. That's not the case with pyra or skewb. It's not that it takes more skill to get a stupid pyra or skewb single than a stupid 2x2 single, it's that unlike with skewb or pyra, the skills needed to get a stupid 2x2 single are ubiquitous among decent speedsolvers.

It is definitely NOT because 2x2 is more similar to 3x3 than Skewb or Pyra. The top 100 Pyraminx solvers have all probably solved Pyraminx thousands of times.

https://www.worldcubeassociation.or...egionId=&eventId=pyram&years=&history=History

All of these have had the WR average as well, except for Brúnó Bereczki who has been top 5 at Pyraminx average numerous times.

Same for Skewb. It is definitely not "only because 2x2 is similar to 3x3". People ranked 20th at Pyra and Skewb average are not capable of the single record.

I beg to differ. In my opinion anybody in the top 100 of an event could get a WR single with luck, especially with skewb or pyra.
