Ammm, single might be okey, but avg...
I know that you can progress really fast. I was getting that avg when being like 15/14s solver on global and for some ppl it was kinda fishy.
But this is fake I guess.

Nah, seems legit: maybe ez F2L and LL skip every solve? You never know..

e: He got sub-1 on 5x5.. wtf
(he's about me)

I recently finished learning full winter variation and every ollcp you cold get with WV, that's why my times have shifted so much. I avg about 2-3 secs faster now.

This makes no sense at all

Maybe he means he knows adjacent and opposite swaps.

This makes no sense at all

What do you mean? this method is ingenius, WV orients all of your corners and about 1/2 time gives you an OLL skip but it can only give you 3 different OLLs so I learned Every OLLCP for those 3 possible OLLs so now I only have 1LLL and a 1/12 chance of an LL skip. Make sense now?
and WV is mostly intuitive and only has 27 cases+mirrors so it makes it much easier to learn than OLL
Also, my 10 sec avg was very lucky i had 3 free f2l pairs overall and 1 LL skip + a 5 move cross.. so yeah it was legit but quite lucky..
+ most WV algs are only around 7-8 moves and very very fast execution.

also, that avg was really bad I avg more like 15 or so I really need to update my pb averages... And I'm only on that page to follow forum rules I really could be nearly graduating the sub-15 page. That one 5x5 solve was crazy lucky, I avg more like 1:10 on 5x5. (which is still fast)

How is that ingenious? Inserting the last pair normally is faster than recognizing and executing one of 27 WV algs, plus the OLLCP algs for the corner oriented cases are pretty bad and is generally a slower subset than OLL by itself.

You're saying that adding an extra step to your solves is what made you significantly faster when in fact it's a significantly inferior concept, even when you get a PLL skip and a normal CFOP solver doesn't.

You're fake, you know you're fake, and anyone with half a brain knows you're fake so just give it a rest and start fresh as soon as possible before you dig yourself an even deeper hole. Otherwise, upload some avg5/12 videos for 3x3/5x5/3BLD to prove everyone wrong.

I'm only almost 3 months old in cubing world and I have now made a couple solves under 30 seconds, and record average of 5 of 36.49.
I also yesterday started learning BLD and i'm doing pretty good with it. Can't wait for my first blindfolded solve.

 

[Kudz]

Why 1/2 chance of skip? Funny so full VLS is WV plus one more set. Great.
So stupid LL method with super bad reco makes you improve 3sec? On this level?

So if I'll switch to begginier's method I'll be sub-7 in a week? This is absurdal.

You wasn't averaging 15, but 19.. I would really like to see that 5x5 solve. Centers skip? Or few edges too. Chicky LL skip maybe?

In some other threads you wrote things that are pretty unnormal for that fast speedcubers. Thunderclap? No, only cubicle one. I am not saying that you can't be good and say things like this, but all in all things that you say make everybody think that you are fake.

Also if you are near graduating from sub 15 it means you can solve 3x3 stage on 5x5 in let's say 15-20s. 3x3 stage is one of fastest steps there. Sub-1 is kinda.... even more fake.

Fake solves, if it is okey with you, but don't show it to others. I am waiting for a video.

Gigaminx Progress...

15:01.99. A few hours later, 14:59.21. Did a happy sub15 dance.

Next night: 13:32.13. Ridiculous. Had to try again. 14:33.67. Seems I'm petering out. Won't be catching up to Sam any time soon.

Wow! Just wow... to both of you. Sam, you're gonna get sub-9 soon if you keep improving that way. And Chris, you have shaved off like1/3 of your initial times so very nice progress. Wait you both until I receive mine and start getting times around 1h and a half!!! Sorry, I'm being a bit optimistic here, maybe 2h is more close to reality.

I tried to solve my new SS Mastermorphix 3x3 shapemod yesterday and it took me like 45 minutes (an entire episode of Grey's Anatomy) How's that for an (un)accomplishment?

After 2 months and 4 days of speedcubing, I got my first sub-20 average of 100.

I started to use Prisma timer on the 15th of December, so the graph shows pretty much all of my progress. I averaged 30 seconds after 1 month and thought that maybe it would be possible for me to sub-20 in another month, and I almost did Hopefully I can maintain sub-20, and eventually go for sub-15 And for anyone who's just started cubing, just practice, practice and practice, it's the best way to improve!

Picture:
View attachment 5884

The 30:30 average is for all of the 4160 solves I've timed, which is of course worse that my current average.
