wow you're a lot faster at 3x3 than me but I'm slightly faster at 2x2(how though?)

 

[EngiNerdBrian]

My 2022 goals are to accomplish my 2020 goals.

 

[abunickabhi]

My goal is simple and straightforward.

Get sub-2 in 5BLD.

It is easy if I maintain 30/1:30 memo/exec splits.
One passing letter quads. Cannot do 5-cycles though as they are not fingertrickable on the 5x5.

Are 5-cycles viable for 4BLD and 5BLD centers?

 

[5.1pyrso]

my goals for 2022 are just:

1. sub 9 3x3 global
2. sub 40 4x4 global
3. sub 15 OH global
4. get started with mega
5. learn bld
6. get started with squan
7. sub 1:30 5x5
8. podium in some event at a comp

that's really all i want from cubing, so if i achieve all this i'll be more than happy

 

[abunickabhi]

Are 5-cycles viable for 4BLD and 5BLD centers?

Yes they kinda are. But a lot of time and effort needs to be given to make them good.

Some of the 5-cycles in big cubes are:

Just a quick look at my goals from last year.

Woo!! Let’s make goals that I will actually follow!! Just kidding my friend just got into cubing so it should motivate me more.

2x2- sub 4 I don’t really care about 2x2 it’s just I can podium where I live with that.
3x3- sub 10
Oh- sub 15
4x4- sub 50
5x5- sub 1:30 I don’t care too much about 5 and 6. They just aren’t very fun
7x7- sub 3
Bld- official average
4/5/multiblind- success
Mega- sub 2
Sq1- sub 25
Pyra- sub 5
Skews- sub 5
Fmc- do it. It’s not a priority, but it is so cool.

Dang. I wish I still lived in a time where sub-4 was what the 2x2 podium was!!

I only actually completed one goal though, but was really close on a few others.
4x4- I average like 52 right now. If i actually continue to practice.
6x6- IT is actually fun!
Bld- No official average, but i did get SR. Then somebody took it
4bld- I have gotten successes at home and was one move off of a success in comp.
Mega- The only motivation I got from that friend that I mentioned last year was when I stole his mega in september and got sub-2
Sq1- I average like 26, but i’m going to buy a new one hopefully.
fmc- IT is literally made by the Devil!!! I love it!

 

[PiKeeper]

Goals:
3x3: Sub-12 (Could be ambitious but I'm improving rapidly without actually doing dedicated practice)
2x2: Sub-4, learn cll
OH: Sub-25 (also ambitious)
Pick up a side event
Set aside time to practice cubing
Only purchase at most two new 3x3s

This was an interesting year. I started out the year cubing a lot, but after the summer I was so overwhelmed by school that I haven't timed myself in anything since then. I also missed out on the first two competitions in my state since Covid because registration filled up in less than a minute. But I'll judge myself based on my times before I took this few month long break.
3x3: Sub-13 which I'm pretty happy with
2x2: Sub-3.5, learned CLL. Didn't realize how easy this would be
OH: Sub-22, I just randomly happened to develop great TPS and blew by what I thought was an ambitious goal
I regularly do 4x4 and practice mega, 5x5, and clock occasionally
Still bought way too many 3x3s

 

[GenTheSnail]

Goal:
global sub10 oh
wr/nar

that is all

nope
two sub13 ao100s was the closest thing

12.26 state record avg in oh but that only lasted about a month, same with 10.35 oh single
