Got my first sub 30 with feet.

29.67

I hand scramble most of my feet solves so I can't reconstruct, but LL was pure twist L which isn't a nice case, but certainly isn't the worst.

F' R D2 R' F U2 F' R D2 R' F U2

I looked down at around 27 and was pretty sure that I was going to make it. I jumped up and paced around as one does when I saw the time.

I've got a comp this weekend too so maybe I'll repeat my performance.

E: I also got a 10.81 OH single on my new stickerless MF3Rsv2. I also got the v3, which is way better.
Probably going to be my new main for 2H.
v2 is good and a lot faster than the v3 so it's either going to be a triple back up OH cube (behind my valk and mini weilong [but my mini weilong is kinda dying so idk]), or my new carry-around cube.

DP but these are official results

Big Cheese 2019 yesterday:

Feet: 35.40 single, 44.66 average. Both 97th in the world! My first time being top 100 for an average. In early 2017 my 46 feet single was 71st in the world.

3x3: 8.52 single, 11.15 average. This finals average had a counting 9.32. Top 2000 and 3000 respectively.

Megaminx: 52 single and 58 average. No notable ranking changes, but they are nice results.

At my first competition for feet (Princeton winter 2019), I got a 36.40 average and a 31.49 single and podiumed. The average is 42th in the world and the single is 57th in the world as of 2/9/19.
At the same comp, I got my first official sub 10 average for 3x3.

single: 3:42.x → 3:37.x
ao50: 4:21.477 → 4:19.034

Oh, and…
cube: Wuji → Wuji M ;)

Only done 14 solves on it so far, and it's already showing great promise. Rolling ao50 might drop further over the next week, and hopefully I can pull off a sub-4:10 official mean (which should bring me back to top 1000).

3x3x3 single PB progression in the last 20 days: 11.126→10.73→10.57→10.51→8.33
Also I brought my ao12 PB from 14.90 to 14.58.
And I got my first sub-20 OH single. These are my OH PBs, all of which I achieved last night:
single: 17.69
ao5: 24.19
ao12: 25.83
ao50: 27.85
ao100: 28.44

I'm so happy to be at my best after all these years of cubing on and off and to still be making progress. There's no better feeling in the world than progress. I really need to get back at 2x2x2 and 4x4x4 though. My skill level with those has dropped recently cause I severely neglect them. But I will probably continue to neglect them for a bit cause I'm on a roll with other events. I just wish I had more time in my life so I could steadily progress with everything at once. I'm tired.

A thread for accomplishments, hence the title, "Accomplishments Thread".

Just post your accomplishments here. I decided to make an accomplishments thread because they have one in TwistyPuzzles and I think it would be nice to have one here too.

I'll start: I've finally gotten around to starting learning CLS! Hooray for me!:D So far, I only know about 6, but I'm learning a few everyday.
i average around 24.7 seconds on 3x3 and my pb single is 19.7.

is this good considering the fact that i use a rubiks speed cube xD

Shaving more seconds off. There's also a sub-4 ao12 in there (but lol @ caring about small rolling averages):

hopefully I can pull off a sub-4:10 official mean (which should bring me back to top 1000).

Update: Sub-3:50 mean, lol. That puts me around the low 600s in world rank. Also broke my overall PB in comp.

Other than that, I had nice 555 and mega averages, too: both around 1:25. Took a gamble on the first 555 solve and did OLLCP, and it gave me an EPLL skip with a time just below the cutoff. (Not hopeful for FMC because there are a lot of good people here today, but hey, we'll see in a few hours.)

Update 2:
2:20.x mean for 666, which should be mid-400s in world rank; somehow podiumed in FMC with a lucky 24 single pulling down the mean. BLD was garbage (double DNF + time limit) and I should have just immediately DNFed solve #2 after mistracing the corners, but everything else today went super great so I'm not going to beat myself up over that.

Update 3:
Random sub-13 average on 333. (Almost thought I would've made the second round when I checked Cubecomps, but then I noticed it's still ongoing and there are enough fast people left to push me out of top 30.) Now, as long as I MAKE CUTOFF FOR 444 asddsdfdsd that should be a complete PB sweep at this comp.
