Round 27 Scrambles:

NEW FORMAT :: I tried to be creative and (hopefully) thought of a format for a cube race that you all haven't seen before. We're going to do 30 solves, and count how many solves are sub 15/12/10 along the way. The rankings will be determined on how many sub xx solves you've gotten. I recommend keeping a pencil and paper nearby to keep track. If you get at least 26 (is this a good number) sub xx solves, you've graduated, unless you want to keep on continuing to ensure you're sub xx. Please give feedback and suggestions on this new format. Thanks! Hope you enjoy! Still include your times in your post, your average, as well as how many sub xx solves you got.

I am back from my stupid adventure of Roux which did absolutely nothing for me besides **** up my times, whatever though.

I think 26 is too lofty of a goal. I think 22 or less with a sub x average should be appropriate.

Interesting new format, nice to see fresh ideas i just dont like the fact that whenever i feel a solve is bad and sup 15 i stop trying because i know it wont count as a competition point and i end up doing bad on those solves.

I am back from my stupid adventure of Roux which did absolutely nothing for me besides **** up my times, whatever though.

LOL i did the same thing, i tried roux cause of all the fever, biggest waste of time ever it really was like a fever GG, luckily you went back to the good side, i know a friend that only realized he was wasting his time with roux 2 months later

Yes but I made myself look like an ass and made a spectacle out of my switching methods about a week and a half ago. But no, I am not back to the good side as I still believe Roux is the best method, but I have been using CFOP for over 3 years and switched when I was at 12 seconds which raise my times by 3 seconds, destroyed my finger tricks, created a pause of recognition, and wasted my time. But I suppose something good came out of this, my inspection is twice as fast now because rouxspection is so much harder.

 

[5BLD]

Of course it deteriorated your CFOP temporarily. It's a totally different style. I don't know about lookahead as when I switched I was simply determined to get fast at roux and only roux. But I guess 3 years might have cfop set in a bit...

Pwnage: OMG you just made me realise I've been wasting my time with Roux for one year! Agh, my CFOP is now 8 seconds better than it was before the switch! And oh no, my lookahead has improved too!
Unfair to say it's a waste of time. Guess what- methods don't have speeds.
Cubing is a waste of time anyway

More on topic, later today I'll join the sub-8 race...

 

[emolover]

You would be the first to ever join that race.

O. Not much fun then is it? Nevermind.

Yea i was exaggerating a bit, roux was a good ride just didnt work out for me, im sure there is a lot to learn from doing different methods. And cubing is so not a waste of time.
