[WR] 4.54 Skewb average - Antoine Cantin

[antoineccantin]

I really was not expecting this. Even after the last solve I had no idea it would be WR

(7.66), 5.09, 3.55, 4.98, (3.17) = 4.54

Timer fail on the 3.55 =
5.09 should have been faster too
Layers were all pretty bad iirc except the last one.

Still a great average though, counting 3 helped a bunch

Congratulations!

Beastness!

I don't think I ever congratulated you in person, so I guess this is the next best thing. Congrats!

Sidenote: That is one sexy judge during solves 2, 3, and 5...

 

[CyanSandwich]

Congrats!

So how long did it take you or anyone to realize it was WR?

What method?

 

[antoineccantin]

What method?

1st solve: Sarah's beginner
2nd solve: Sarah's intermediate (I think)
3rd solve: nub
4th solve: Layer -> CLL+1center -> L4C
5th solve: Qualifies for all versions of Sarah's

it seems SK and OH have no connection but you do well in both of them,really amazing

3.55 was sub-3 if timer would have stopped right.

Nice job however. Grats on getting WR

If the timer stopped properly (assuming sub-3.17), the average would have been 4.41.

Pssshhhhh, you'll beat 4.41 next comp ;D

Yeah right

What's with the 'ooh' before your 4th solve?

I don't know, I don't hear it.

Sorry, last solve. There was even clapping.

Brandon Huang (who I'd never heard of before and looks like he might be 10), got three 4s on his first solves. On the last solve, he got a 3.96, making a 4.67 average which [would have been] 3rd in the world, which is amazing for him, especially since he averages about 8.

Well, even though the timer failed on the 3.55, it failed on the first solve too, allowing you to correct something. I'm not a Skewber, but would that first solve have been a DNF if the timer had stopped?

I didn't even notice the timer fail until now xD

It would have probably been a +2 if it had stopped, but it was the worst solve anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

Can someone tell me what they're saying here: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/3229926880
I tried google translate, but it's really weird.

edit:
