5x5 Breakdowns!?

[AvGalen]

I have an unusual breakdown ratio. For a 1:40 average, my breakdown is about 31, 44, 25.

My centers and 3x3 phase are rather poor. Whereas my edges are almost at "world class" level.
In solves I often get sub40 edges and sup35 centers.

I really laughed about this one. Apparently, my edges are almost almost at "world class" level because a typical breakdown for me is 45, 45, 45 (good solves have better centers and/or 3x3x3)

(and yes, I have an official 21 average on 3x3x3 and it takes me 45 on average on a 5x5x5)

Oh my.. Small hands?

No, I have a very high movecount because of my "keyhole + 4 look last layer". And I am a slow mover so a high movecount is really bad for me. That is also why I sometimes have really good solves (U-Perm takes 3.5 seconds, A-Perm + Z-Perm takes almost 15)
I have had a couple of sub-2 solves at home and my PB is a 1:44 (Anti-Sune + U-Perm). I have also had a sub 1 reduction once which turned into a 1:46

70 - 80 - 50 breakdown.

My centers really are very bad and even my 3x3x3 solve is bad.

3x3x3 can be improved but does anyone have a good detailed resource for centers on 5x5x5. I found plenty of 5x5x5 Edge Pairing advanced tutorials

Sub-1 reduction? That's indeed world class! I'm around 1:30 for reduction normally...

My break down looks sth like this:

centers: 35-50
edges: 65-90
3x3 phase: 31-38

my best single solve so far is a 2:13, best average 2:38 and a usual average is sth around 2:41.

I guess I should work on my edges..

 

[Daniel Wu]

Haha. Mine is like

Centers: 50
Edges: 120
3x3: 25
I fail really bad and I should stop 3x3 and practice 5x5
Wow. I guess I should work on everything. XD

 

[ThatGuy]

centers: 70-90 (hahaest)
edges: ~120 (hahaer)
3x3: ~65 (haha)
My 3x3 could probably drop 15 seconds if I were using a "not my Professor"
I twisted one of the corners off (two pieces of plastic). The cube still holds its shape but if I try to apply too much force about 1/8th of my cube pops out.

 

[masterofthebass]

Arnaud, STOP USING A RUBIK'S 5x5. that's why your 3x3 stage is so bad...

 

[fanwuq]

hi-games.net: something like 55-70-23
Eastsheen: something like 65-120-40

I don't practice 5x5. I also fail at centers.

 

[TMOY]

First 2 centers: 25 s
2^3; 10 s
All edges: 75 s
Last 4 centers: 50 s

 

[rachmaninovian]

on an acceptable solve:
first 2 centres: 13s
3x3x3: 32s
finish R and L face: 25s
finish cage: 10s
last 4 centres: 35s

 

[Leviticus]

35-45-20

Something like that, faster everything on good solves.
