Even though we are nearly halfway through 2020 I think I’ll still put some goals since I didn’t know about this thread before.

2x2: sub 5
3x3: sub 12 or average 12
4x4: get a aosu wr m so I can practice on a not terrible cube.
Megaminx: sub 2? I’m not sure what is doable for megaminx yet.
Blind: sub 3

Improve consistency for 3BLD, sub-5 (Very inconsistent right now, dunno average)

Get decent at 5x5 (Sub-4:00 currently)

Other

Raise my competition count to 5 (1 currently)

I guess I already made a V4 that I didn't see, so let's update on that:

Since I don't see myself improving much between now and the end of the year, I'm going to look at my previous goals now.

3x3: Nope, I do know full PLL, though, and I am sub-17.
2x2: I'm sub-4.5, but have not learned CLL.
4x4: Yes
5x5: Yes
6x6: Easily, I'm around 5:00 right now
7x7: Got the MGC and average around 8:00
Pyraminx: Yes and no
Megaminx: Yep
Skewb: Nobody cares
Square-1: Yep
OH: Nope. I think it's the only goal that I didn't achieve.
Other:
Learned 3BLD and got my 2nd ever success today!
Once again, who knew what 2020 would become?
I'm at a total of 51, so that might increase after Christmas, so I'll update this again then.

Same, got my first success today during history class. I was so excited, but its history class.

Edit: I was done with my assignment, I wasn't doing it while the teacher was talking.

The year is almost over! Since the beginning of 2020, I've improved a ton at cubing, and also made 6 versions of my goals. :p Time to update, this time for the final time this year! I've been inactive for a few months, so I do expect many goals to be left unmet, but we'll see :)

Sorry for double post


(V6) (I wonder if I'll hit V10 before next year)

I've already accomplished so many goals this year, but my list is still decent sized. I think that I can defiantly accomplish all of these by the end of the year.

Learn

Learn full OLL and whatever's next

Learn to consistently plan Cross+1 in inspection on 3x3

Learn CLL for 2x2

Learn to consistently predict OLL case in inspection on 2x2

Learn 4LLL for Megaminx

Learn to solve Square-1 consistently

Learn to properly fingertrick SH and HS on Skewb

Improve

Sub-10 on 3x3 (~15 currently)

Sub-2.5 on 2x2 (~3.5 currently)

Get better at 3BLD and get much better success rate (not super consistent, ~4:30)

Sub-2:30 on Megaminx (Sub-3:00 currently)

Sub-1:00 on 4x4 (Sub-1:15 currently)

Sub-20 for OH (~22-25 currently)

Sub 5ish for Pyraminx (Sub-6 currently)

Get a success in 4BLD (Know how to do it, no successes yet)

Get decent at 5x5 (Sub-3:00 currently)

Other

Go to a couple more competitions (1 currently)

Learn

Learn full OLL and whatever's next - Nope, although I am about halfway done

Learn to consistently plan Cross+1 in inspection on 3x3 - Not really any progress at all, can only do it when there's a pre-made pair or easy XCross

Learn CLL for 2x2 - Nope

Learn to consistently predict OLL case in inspection on 2x2 - Not quite, but I've improved a bunch

Learn 4LLL for Megaminx - I had all of the algs memorized, but it's likely I've partially forgotten them because I haven't done Mega in a while.

Learn to solve Square-1 consistently - Dumb parity :mad:

Learn to properly fingertrick SH and HS on Skewb - lolskewb

Improve

Sub-10 on 3x3 (~15 currently) - I actually got worse because of my break, I'm ~17-18 now

Sub-2.5 on 2x2 (~3.5 currently) - I'm at ~4-5

Get better at 3BLD and get much better success rate (not super consistent, ~4:30) - I have improved, although my times are the same

Sub-2:30 on Megaminx (Sub-3:00 currently) - Idk

Sub-1:00 on 4x4 (Sub-1:15 currently) - Same times

Sub-20 for OH (~22-25 currently) - Again, I got worse. Sub-30 right now

Sub 5ish for Pyraminx (Sub-6 currently) - Sub-6 still

Get a success in 4BLD (Know how to do it, no successes yet) - Same as before

Get decent at 5x5 (Sub-3:00 currently) - Around the same

Other

Go to a couple more competitions (1 currently) - :rolleyes:


I look forward to the next year of cubing, and beyond!
