Got my 6x6 PB from 5:56.172 to 5:37.39!! I also broke my 5x5 PB from 2:28.239 to 2:24.975.

Knocked a huge chunk off my Megaminx PB today - no less than 32s, to 5:27.87, a 9.7% improvement!

Also, just got a Gan 11 M Pro, and my very first solve with it was inside my top 10 solves ever.

 

[DuckubingCuber347]

I would consider that an accomplishment.

I went from not breaking any 6x6 PBs for a few months to today, where I brought my single from a 2:58 to a 2:49, mo3 from a 3:08 to a 2:59, and ao5 from a 3:09 to a 3:02. That's pretty cool I guess.

Also, just got a Gan 11 M Pro, and my very first solve with it was inside my top 10 solves ever.

Now roughly tripled my rate of sub 1m solves!

Still not getting that ao5 or even mo3 below 1m, but surely won't be long now...

I just got a PB ao5 on the 3 by 3 of 12.34 lol

After grinding for a couple hours, I finally got a sub-15 ao1000! This also got me thinking about how much I've improved since I joined the forums. When I first joined, I averaged around 22 and was happy with sub-20s. This is one of the things that make cubing great; that you can see your progress over time, and it feels really good.

So I was doing 3x3 match the scramble in the weekly competition and I got a 56.59 on my first solve. This is just a little slower than average for me. Now, I usually time myself solving the scramble after the attempt ends. So I did the same like I normally would. I got a 7.48 PB single lol. Outta nowhere. Here is the reconstruction https://alg.cubing.net/?setup=_F-_U...L_&#2b;_PLL_skip&title=TheRubiksGRUbe 7.48 PB

Someday I’ll post a speed related accomplishment again. I intuitively solved my first ever bandaged cube…ZCube bandaged - A version.

 

[vidcapper]

Been over a month since I tried a 2-7 relay, so was pleasantly surprised to knock quite a big chunk off my PB : down 1m50 to 36m16s.

 

[vidcapper]

Another slight improvement in my 6x6 PB, down 6.48s to 8:18.71

 

[gruuby]

I got a nice 4x4 PB single with 45.37. PB by 0.79 seconds

 

[BenChristman1]

20.28 PB OH single!

Haven't done any speed solving since March and i'm feeling quite slow these days. I did get a good PLL skip in todays session though! 2nd best solve ever.

Sorry if this response is a bit late but I sort of disagree about them being completely obsolete. I average 5.8 and have both a modded lingao as well as qiyi, for a time I was actually considering switching mains to the modded lingao from my qiyi,and I actually got very close to doing so. Although it may feel “worse” to some, I feel like it fit me almost perfectly. The speed on them is great if setup properly, not slow like a stock Lingao but not as fast as a qiyi clock which I really like since every now and then I would DNF a solve due to overshooting (even after getting used to the qiyi clock) the lingao modded also had strong pin strength which I saw as an improvement from the weak pins of the qiyi. I did end up staying with the QiYi clock as my main but the Lingao was still very close to becoming my new main over it. Sorry for that super long spew but those are some examples of how personal preference can play a part in considering if people feel a puzzle is “obsolete” and how the modeed Lingao can still be a valid option for some.

This was post #69,420 on this thread.

I got my first sub 35 single on 4x4 and didn't even realize it until I looked down at the timer like 10 seconds after the solve was done. I totally thought it was like a 40 or 41 but I just about spit my water out when I looked down and saw 34.54

EDIT: Also caused a 41.73 PB Ao5

Chipped 1m40 off my 13x13 PB, to 1h32m46s.

 

[gruuby]

5x5 PB by 6 SECONDS. 1:20.88 to 1:14.12. Centers were very easy. Splits: Centers: 23, Edges: 35, 3x3: 16.

 

[Romy4]

Sooo i just broke all my pb averages in one sitting!!
My averages 3 days go:

then my averages today:

Ignore my mean, this is the session ive been using since I averaged 22 seconds a month ago.
Also I don’t think this will ever happen again and it was really cool. Plus I didn’t get any PLL skips and I did about 200 solves, which was weird.

I just got my first sub-10 ZZ single!

ZZ is pretty fun to use (exept for when I forget which edges I have to flip halfway though EO). More specifically I'm using EOCross just because its more comfortable.
