Apologies if this isn't the correct place for random PBs and the like.

3x3 single PB: 26.11
Method: still beginner, no CFOP
Cube: RS3M 2020

Not dissimilar to your post above, @cuberbutnotacuber!

It is the right place. A new PB is an accomplishment

Nice! My PB at one pt. was 26.66. May you get ever faster.

I got sub-20 recently and am working on lookahead! Woo!

 

[EngiNerdBrian]

I set a new PB for ao5 of 21.28 ao12 of 23.09 & ao500 of 25.95 so I am now calling myself sub-26 global. Looking forward to all the improvement I'm going to make in the coming months as I continue to improve at finding full cross during inspection and F2L efficiency...I've been doing a lot of deliberate practice with those substeps lately!

Megaminx PB today : 6m28.14, 26s off my old mark, mainly due to a pll skip on corners.

Knocked 4m6s off my 2-7 Relay PB today, with 39m28s.

On a side note, if you set an individual cube pb during a relay, should you count it?

Congrats! I think my old 4x4 PB was during a 2-5 relay, so I don’t see why not.

New 3x3 PB ao12 of 21.52 cut down from 23.09. Pumped!

I feel so powerful right now. I normally average 17 on 3x3, sometimes a bit under, and sometimes a bit over. However, today I was picked up my XS, started doing a session, and had lookahead in mind. And Holly Mr. Krabs. I did about 80 solves, and my recent averages have been around 15 seconds. For reference, my PB single is 9.26, and today I got like 2 11's, 3 12's, and a couple 13's. I have unlocked looking ahead, and it really is a powerful tool.

I dug out my Rubiks Revenge today for a solve, took me 6m39s (which is actually a PB on that beast)!

In the process I learned I *do* actually have finger tricks, albeit to a limited extent, through nearly breaking my wrists subconciously trying them on this cube.

Well done on 6m39s. I'm still way over 15m. Most of my time is spent looking round the cube finding the matching edge pairs. The rest of the solve goes quite quick after that. I kind of look forward to getting parity problems. I'm determined to find a way to spot parity before it happens and avoid it. But then I'd miss out of the fun of solving it. Parity is one of the reason I prefer the 4x4 over the standard 3x3
