[fun at the joy]

I should actually go to bed but I did some solves.
After the first 4 solves I had 9.26, 7.81, 10.65, 9.57.
And on the fifth solve I got another 7.81 and was like "WTF counting 7" and then looked on the screen and it was a 8.88 Ao5, new PB by 0.09.
And then I got this scramble:
U F2 R F2 U2 L2 F2 L' D2 U2 B2 R U2 D' F2 R F R' F L
one move cross, premade pair and easy second pair
I got another 7 on it.

This gives me a new PB Ao5 of 8.44 with two counting 7s lol

I failed the Ao12 and got 10.04 oof

AYEEEEEEE Got a new pb! 55 seconds!

AYEEEEEEE Got a new pb! 55 seconds!

Do you use beginner method ? If you do, I'd recommend using a speedsolving method, one can be picket through the first link in my signature.

U F2 R F2 U2 L2 F2 L' D2 U2 B2 R U2 D' F2 R F R' F L

Congrats!

btw, wtf is that scamble?
i got 10.98 (in this case it would be my PB, but I won't count, because this scramble is not mine hahah)

 

[NevEr_QeyX]

Wow, congrats! Very nice solve, your turning was really smooth during the F2L
You should customize your cube a bit, the default one looks boring

Thanks for the suggestion but I like the default settings.

What country? How many competitors?

I challenge you to beat my time! I just got it today and I was super excited! Here is the replay. (my name on the site is Silthead)

Silthead's 3x3 solve (9.31)

I've been practicing for a few weeks to get this.

Why not just solve a real cube?

Why not just solve a real cube?

my wrists are injured
Edit: (I can't supinate)

Thats always a pain. I hope you feel better soon. Also, I challenge you to see how fast you can be on virtual cubes on scratch.mit.edu.

sub-38 megaminx ao100! Another second barrier broken! Hopefully I can get that North American champion, assuming the competition actually happens!

Bonus: Here's the last ao5 from the 37.86 ao100

Spoiler: 35.66 ao5 w/ counting 32

PB 4x4 - 49.82

First sub50 single!
And incredibly, there was a PLL Parity. My previous PB was 50.92 without any parity. Eveyday I enjoy more that event.
I need a good lube, my cube is very dry, and I don’t have lube for cubes.

2.41 PB skewb ao100!

2.41 PB skewb ao100!

woah that's crazy fast

 

[dudefaceguy]

I'm getting close to a 2:20 average on 4x4 using my parity-less intuitive method (https://www.speedsolving.com/threads/intuitive-4x4-method-with-parity-avoidance.73049/). This is 4 times longer than my 3x3 time of 35 seconds, which is a normal ratio according to this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Cubers/comments/cvyshz

. This is great because it means that the method is somewhat viable for speedsolving. I hope to get sub-2-minutes soon. This would be 3.4x my 3x3 time, which is about as fast as I will be able to get on 4x4. My PB is 2:03 so it’s looking good.

I also solved a square 1 mostly without help, which was a lot of fun. I had always avoided square 1 because I heard it was all algorithms, but it can actually be very intuitive and fun. I got to use many of the algorithms and commutators that I made up when learning SSC method.

Edit: first sub-2-minute single on 4x4 woooooo! It was full-step too, so I feel pretty good about that.

Just got a PB Ao5 for 3x3! 17.82!!! SOOO HAPPY!!!

 

[Deleted member 51471]

I finally got a sub-25 Ao100 yesterday. 24.96 (now I've lowered it down to 24.87)

31 moves = 4.95 TPS lol

pretty much the opposite of my last pb, ll skip and terrible tps.
I missed an easy low to mid 5 but oh well #jay#keaton

This is the 3rd ll skip I got, one was with zz and the other one not timed.
