watwat. extremely stupid lol

there were 4 sub 10s in there, as well as a 10.01 and a 10.03
 
GJ!!!! I would like to ask you a question. Were you stuck for some time at the 20sec point? Because I get some 14s and 15s and several 16-18 solves in an Ao100 but still my Ao100 is around 21 seconds.

My dates are:

4th Aug 2013 - First 3x3 speedcube (zhanchi stickerless)
??? - First sub-10, who knows when or even if I'll get it

Still I have until early June this year to match the time it took you. Currently my PB full-step is high 14s so unless I get a very lucky PLL skip or I progress a lot in these months I don't think I'll make it.

Keep cubing!!!
To be honest, I had zero difficulty progressing to sub-20. My main obstacle was sub-30. I guess it varies from person to person. Main thing I can suggest is to find out what you're doing in those sup-20 solves and stop doing it xD
If it's certain difficult LL cases, drill them. Or if it's just bad F2L, practice that.
Find your problem step and focus on it.
 
3+ months of no skewb

Glad to see I can still solve ok. Did Ao100 and it was a fail though. A bunch of 10+seconds which is terrible. Going to do another Ao100 and see what I can get.

3rd ever sub10, 2nd best single ever, and it was full step! (unless you count a 6 move Cross+1 as lucky... which... y'know... could be)

9.89.
50 moves, 5.05 TPS

I didn't know of the better ones until I averaged sub-15 so i didn't bother anymore. And I'm quite fast with it so I stuck to it. Sub-1 is probably doable

Don't feel bad man... I actively use 3 different Ra algs. L U2 L' U2, RUD, and if I see if from the back I'll do R U2 R' U2. And sometimes I'll still default to RUF.

I also actively use 8 A perms. This is why I'm not fast.

Yeah, first sub-25 single! 24.96 seconds, really close to a +2 and that was really great!
