4:38.31,much more 4x4 progress than i was expecting
my 4x4 single is now sub-megaminx by 2 seconds,which is to be expected i guess
also learnt oll parity alg from this video
nicest parity algs i have ever seen
 
I'm finally sub-17 OH! It took long enough. XD
Kept rolling the session. At 181 now

OH PBs in mo3 and ao50. I haven't had any of these in a really long time, but this is the first session that I've done in what feels like a year.

single: 11.47 - 1.37 off
mo3: 13.10 - ooh PB by .39
ao5: 14.40 - not even close
ao12: 15.58 - .08 off
ao50: 16.26 - pb by .19
ao100: 16.64 - .02 off, rolling will be hard


I need to figure out a way to export these to cstimer so I can get "real" averages.


E: exported to cstimer and did 200 more solves.

ao50: 16.02
ao100: 16.45

boi sub 16 is within sights

Race to sub 16?

Edit: just got PB3, fullstep too :D

Crud I was going to practice Feet, FMC, and BLD because that's all my next comp has but it is so on.

So like a 15.85 ao100 or just any sub 16 ao100?
It can't be official because Advay already has a (lucky?) 15.18.
Ao100 aren't very accurate to your avg, imo. I like to go by Ao1000. But we can go by Ao100 if you like. Let's move this to DMs, also.
 
FIRST SUB 12 :D

sub 40 3x3 a05!!!
(45.73),(34.76),40.49,43.19,35.25=39.64
in other news i will probably buy the mf3rs3m as the mf3rs is apparently very bad in comparison to the later models and my fingers kinda hurt after using it for too long
EDIT:finally i am sub 50,49.94 ao100. my times went up when i hit 50.30 but i am glad to see they went back down :)
 
I guess I got my first sub-20 Ao5 a few days ago:

Average: 19.48

Worst: 25.24

5: 19.06 R2 F2 R2 U' R2 U' F2 U R2 U B2 R' F L R2 U R2 D' B' D' U2 R'

And it was with roux! For context, I’ve been using roux since about mid March, and used CFOP before that for about 3-3.5 months. I never got a sub 20 Ao5 with CFOP.
 
Just started timing myself and my best average of 5 is 1:00:003. So close...

Edit: Just crushed it with a new PB of 38.232 in my very next solve. Whaaaaaaat!?!

Nice average with Roux considering the time you've been using it! I have been using roux for about 13 months now and I switched from CFOP, mainly because i just got stuck and never got pass sub 20. Roux gets more and more fun as you get faster. Good luck improving!

Wow that’s so cool, I’ve ever heard of something like that, you switch to a different method and you’re almost instantly faster! Keep going with Roux and leave CFOP behind, or if you like experimenting maybe even Skis Method ;) GL getting faster, hopefully you enjoy using Roux!
I’ve tried different methods, but haven’t tried very hard to get fast with them so here’s what I avg with each:
CFOP - 18
Hexagonal F. - 21
ZZ - 25
Petrus - 26
Beginner - 28
Skis - 32
Roux - 34
If I tried for a few weeks like you have I could maybe be faster than CFOP with any of these methods, it could really be lots of fun, and if any, most likely Hex. F, Skis, or Roux.

Yeah, Roux is cool! I just found that CFOP wasn’t really getting me anywhere that I wanted to be, and I stumbled upon roux, so I switched to it. It’s been a lot of fun, and I find that I enjoy 3x3 solving more now.
