Accomplishment Thread

[krazaeda]

My first post in this thread.

Today I got my first sub-25 avg out of 5: 23.98.
I also got my first sub-26 avg out of 12 : 25.65.
So far, I've got only a few more OLL's to learn, I guess I have learnt up to 5 a day since I'm on holiday with only 4 or 5 cases left, that will probably take one or two days and then I'll practise them a lot. God I'm so happy that I practically never have to use the 2-look OLL anymore, speeds me up enormously.

Woah, nice Jun. I predict a WR from you soon.

Uh, here's my sucky average compared to the above person:

I am not sure if this is a PB average of 12 or not because I have not been keeping track of all of my physical cube PBs lately(my one-handed single PB, for example, in my signature, is inaccurate as I have broke the 24 second barrier a kabillion times already, just never thought to note down the time - I'll try and get it next time, though). Anyhow, I'll call this my PB average for now.

 

[JustinJ]

Been practicing 4x4 - first sub 2 1:51.38

I'm terrible at big cubes, but I'm trying to fix that

 

[slncuber21]

woot!
just got my 7x7 today, scrambled it and solved it within 2 hours
i think thats pretty good (i only used the internet to solve the last two centers)
but other than that i did it all by myself yay me haha

ps: qqwref- i am going to be doing a lot of 7x7, watch out i might just take that WR from you!

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

52.55 PLL skip!

6:05.71 PLL attack right before that.

 

[Mike Hughey]

52.55 PLL skip!

6:05.71 PLL attack right before that.

With feet? That's awesome. I need to try a PLL attack sometime - I never thought of trying it before. It would probably really be good practice - prevent some of those 4 minute solves.

Heh, my first solve at Beijing Fall 2008... 3:5x? Messed up on a G-perm twice.

1:57.43 is my first sub-2!!! I will probably fail in comp though :/

 

[Derrick Eide17]

wow 1:32.85 on my old White ES 5x5
who said V-cube was so great?

 

[qqwref]

First sub-55!

I was going to take a 6x6 average too but I got bored afetr 7 solves >_> I had two sub-3s though, I think I've had 4 so far...

 

[slncuber21]

just solved my 7x7 for the third time (got it yesterday)
and got a time of 31.xx.xx
not bad right?

do you guys think i can be sub 10 by March 28th?

You will improve quickly at first, then it will get harder I think you will probably be if you practice enough, it's not that hard.

Definitely I got sub 10 within two days of getting my 7x7.

My accomplishment:
I got 2 more sub 2 5x5 solves!

I've learned a few new techniques for the 7x7x7: building last 2 centres adjacent rather than opposite and reducing the amount of Niklas commutators using a freestyle method that I think might be following some of Dan Cohen's ideas but he goes too fast for me to follow! I've changed the way I build the first 8 edges too and I'm hoping to achieve consistent times below 30 minutes (yes, I'm very slow!)

1:47 was a PCLL skip. 1:58 was non-lucky. At the 2:55, my F2L was done, but I missed a piece in my star
