Round 4 Cube: Gans 356 Method: CFOP Ao12: 19.49 [1/3] (21.59), 19.73, 21.15, 18.72, 21.42, 15.23, 20.75, (15.16), 18.39, 20.86, 19.70, 18.91 I graduated the old sub-20 thread a long time ago, but I'm rusty and need to earn it again ;)

Awesome! I have yet to break the 1 minute mark on 4x4. My closest was a 1:05, with no parity. Now after taking a long break from it I'm having a hard time just getting back under 1:20 times. 2017 has been a bust for me on the cubing front. If anything, I'm slower than I was at the end of 2016 in...

I would say you are definitely ready for the sub-15 race. Good luck!

Round 557 Results Congratulations to @AcuberCubes for graduating this round! **FINAL ROUND OF THIS RACE THREAD** I have really enjoyed running this thread these past couple years, but I haven't been able to give it the attention it deserves lately. @PyraMaster has started a new sub-20...

Hey all. Sorry I've been MIA lately, there's just a lot going on. I'll close this round and get the next one up today. Things should be back to normal and I'll get back to weekly rounds in January. Stay tuned... Round 557 Method: CFOP Cube: Cubicle Gans 356 AO12: 19.73 22.27, 20.86, 20.04...

Sorry folks. Life's been busy lately and I've had no time for cubing. I'll post results and next round tomorrow.

I think that's totally normal. I pull down fairly consistent sub-20 averages when it counts, but I mostly get 21-22 averages when timing practice solves that "don't matter". When I'm practicing I'm thinking about improving, so I'm more critical of how I'm executing each step of the solve. For my...

There's nothing wrong with you, you're learning. Learning takes time. Getting fast takes A LOT of practice. I highly recommend this post if you're looking for a structured road-map to getting faster using CFOP. Don't give up! :)

Round 555 Method: CFOP Cube: Cubicle Gans 356 AO12: 19.84 21.50, 19.82, 21.46, (17.08), 19.01, 20.33, 19.39, (23.57), 19.29, 19.68, 18.33, 19.56 Just not feeling it today... I'll give this round one more day and close it tomorrow.

I think we're pretty much on the same page with 4x4. The Yuxin Blue has been my main since it released, but it definitely took some work to set it up right. I did a dozen or so solves with the WuQue and CB mini last night and I'm enjoying the CB mini so much more. The WuQue catches so badly I'm...

My latest cube order just arrived. I'm too impatient to do unboxing videos :P The SpeedStacks Gen 4 Timer is really nice. I haven't tried the data port yet, but even if I can't get that working I'm glad I spent the extra few bucks on this timer. Now I can prepare myself for comp cubing... If I...

Great comp results @Jason Green! An official 13.x looks pretty damn good on the ol' cubing resume :) That must have felt awesome.

Round 554 Results Great round everyone :) And big congratulations to @WombatWarrior17 for graduating this round! Round 555 Potential Closing Time - Sept 1st, 2017 || 12:01PM CST *NOTE: I've started using the official TNoodle WCA scrambler to generate these scrambles. We're now getting...
