That's it, now I'm done with cubing.

29m broken on 9*9 : 28:54.23.

 

[DuckubingCuber347]

Finally set up my Clock. my average dropped from 45-seconds to 33-seconds. I just started so I'm very slow and I haven't been cubing (clocking?) very much this past week.

First, it should only take 100-200 solves to get sub-20; clock is really easy to improve on by just spamming solves. Second, which clock do you have?

A pre-owned LingAo. I've probably done about 25 speed solves.

When you get the money, I would definitely recommend buying the Qiyi if you decide you want to get drastically better at the event.

I'm definitely getting the Qiyi clock. If it's better than a set up LingAo it's easily worth $30 USD.

it's infinitely better than a set up lingao. Lingaos are completely obsolete now.

Time List:
9.609, 14.152, 9.889, 9.169, 9.672

Third time with three sub-10s in a row, second time with a sub-10 rolling ao5 (not counting overlaps).

edit:

lol
9.92 average in the weekly comp, with times 9.50, 9.26, 9.91, 12.35, 10.34
Fourth time with three sub-10s in a row, mere hours after the third time. Also smashed my weekly comp ao5 PB by over a second.

edit2 (2021-06-14):

Been getting horrible times on 5, 6, and OH lately, but pretty decent times on 3 for some reason.
ao100: 12.137 → 12.099 (old PB from September last year)
ao200: 12.305 → 12.262 (old PB from November last year)

 

[vidcapper]

I don't know if this counts as an accomplishment, but I got my first sub-1m time on another cross colour than white.

 

[Skewb_Cube]

6.40 PB single! Cross and F2l was average and it would have been a 9s solve, but I had a LL skip! (did white cross)

Scramble: R2 B2 U L2 D R2 U2 B2 R2 U R2 D R' F' R2 B' R U B2 L2

| My personal progress thread | Coming back after a long time |

Updates: 3x3: Ao5 PB of 18.14 Ao12 PB of 20.20 (lol) Ao100 is at 21.71 and dropping 2x2: Ao5 PB of 4.0x Ao12 PB of 4.7x Ao100 is at 5.17 and dropping @BenChristman1 thanks for the critique. I started to predict OLL for easy scrambles. It does take more than 15s but my times have dropped by half...

this happened yay!!

[Cubing Forever]

I think it's best to post this in the accomplishment thread but congrats!!

 

[vidcapper]

New 12x12 PB : 1h12m22s, 39s inside my old mark (despite a pop)!

 

[DuckubingCuber347]

PB Ao5 by .6 seconds! (Previous was 16.24)
I'm 100% sure it's because I changed my pfp.

 

[John_NOTgood]

This was unexpected...

scramble:
(4, -3)/(6, 0)/(0, -3)/(-3, -3)/(-3, 0)/(2, -1)/(1, 0)/(-3, -3)/(1, -2)/(4, -2)/(0, -4)/(-2, 0)
​

 

[vidcapper]

Another first for me, 2 consecutive sub 1m solves, albeit on different days.

More significantly, smashed my 8x8 PB by a big margin, from 22m28 to 21m39!
