PB Ao5-10.06
Was thinking of getting a sub 10 average but this was still good as I had 2 sub-10 solves.

 

[vidcapper]

I'm going to attempt my first 8x8 solve today... I'm guessing it'll take at least 90 minutes.

 

[vidcapper]

I did it, and inside my estimate too!

If you're interested...

1st C 06:03
2nd C 09:53
3rd C 08:29
4th C 10:35
5th & 6th C 12:36

47m36s

1st 4 Edges 09:24
2nd 4 Edges 06:56
Last 4 + P 12.02

28m22s

3x3 + OLL P and
Misplaced Centres(!) 5m14s

Total 81m14s

Towards the end I was being excessively cautious.

I was pleased with my last 2 centres as they usually give me a lot of trouble...


Next, a 9x9...

I got a 6.73, beating my last PB single by .29!! PLL skip, but other than that not that quit lucky (2 free pairs, PLL skip):

Just got my first ever last layer skip and second best solve ever. It was a 6.85, and unfortunately there was nothing very lucky about the F2L.

I did it - I solved the 9*9!

It only took me 2h17m.

And to think the 4x4 used to intimidate me...

Congrats! Big cubes are a lot of fun...whats next? Getting larger than 9x9 I think you get into the “not so fun to solve on a single sitting” scenario

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

Got a PB Ao5 with 23.84! Happy with this, since this is only my 3rd month into cubing and I thought I'd still be averaging over a minute by September!

It wasn't a single sitting anyway, I had a meal after finishing the centres, incidentally using far more than the recommended 'dose' of commutators.

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

PB Ao5 = 23.58

edit: 23.53 now good day for Ao5

 

[Skewb_Cube]

PB Ao5 = 23.58

Wow, just an hour ago you got a PB and now another one, good job.

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

yeah its a 3rd now

 

[Skewb_Cube]

yeah its a 3rd now

Nice

So excited I got my first sub-20 single today!

19.40

Also a PB a05 (24.91) and ao12 (26.68), although this single wasn't in those.

Was using my GAN 356 M for most of today's solves, but switched to my RS3 M 2020 before I got my PB single.

Nice! I actually have quite similar PBs to you.

 

[TheMasterJadi]

After 4 months of learning the cube, I finally achieved my first sub 15 time! I do the cross on the bottom, intuitive f2l with knowing a few cases, 2-look oll and 2-look pll

Nice!
For big accomplishments like this, there's a special thread called the Accomplishment Thread. Next time, you might want to post stuff like this there.
