OBLBL FTW? Youre improving so fast.

Thanks for noticing This was really random improvement though. I just got bored of playing Pokemon so I picked up my 4x4 for the first time today and then BAM! Awesome average.

EDIT : Holllllyyyyyyy Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

9.92 single solve of 15 puzzle sim! First sub-10

EDIT2 : 16.29 mean of 5 on 15 puzzle :O

 

[PandaCuber]

OBLBL Breakdown Solve:
Scramble to Roux Block = ~22
Roux block to Petrus block = ~35
Pairing rest of edges = ~18
EO and finishing solve = ~24
=1:39

What do I need serious work on?

OBLBL Breakdown Solve:
What do I need serious work on?

One of mine :

Scramble to Roublock : ~24
To Petrus Block : ~25
Finish pairing : ~16
Eo and finishing : ~26

= 1:31

Work on going from your Roux block to your Petrus block Maybe you should post an example solve in your Bigcube Thread so we can see how you solve :O

 

[emolover]

Oh boy! My turn!

Scramble to Rouxblock: 16
To Petrusblock: 22
Finish pairing: 18
CFOP it from there: 22

The Rouxblock was a little fast for me and so was the Petrus. CFOPing it from there was really slow for me. I need to work on finishing pairing.

For some reason, I can't see the scrambles from qqtimer from my best avg of x's?

 

[qqwref]

Here's some OBLBL splits for me. Not a super great average, but it should give a general idea of what's going on.
1x3x4+center: 16.18 mean of 5
full block: 19.11 mean of 5
edge pairing: 9.98 mean of 5
3x3 step: 18.21 mean of 5 (ew.)
total: 1:03.48 mean of 5

 

[Jaycee]

1:32.00 Ao12 (1:31.996).

Also, 19.65 Average of 50 on 15 puzzle sim ;o

 

[emolover]

@qqwref Do you do multiple pairing? I still use single pairing for OBLBL.

 

[qqwref]

I do two edges at a time, when possible.

 

[DYGH.Tjen]

Thanks. Yeap, a little over a year. How is it now? The Zhanchi is very nice, found a tension that somehow let the pieces 'snap' back into place and very speedy :3 But still pops on A perms *frowns*

The GuHong is very nice now, thanks a lot Did the mods, and sort of cleaned the core and pieces. Compared to the GuHong you tried the other day, it's slightly slower, but the smoothness is definitely there, and it's controllable. I really really like the feel Popped 8 edges (4 U edges, 4 D edges) and blasted silicone in them, broke in for a while, then retensioned, then sprayed it like 2 more times (1 edge only). That's a lot of silicone :3. I too have found a nice tension for it. Did a few avg5s with my old main and it, and preferred it. (the times were slightly better as well). Yayy glad we both like our new cubes

 

[RCTACameron]

Lolololol wow.
New 2x2 single PB by 0.01: 0.55
Scramble: U2 F2 R F U' F' U' F' U' R' U'
Solution: x2 y R' F R2 U'
4/0.55 = 7.27 tps

Failed rolling into an average though.

 

[BlueDevil]

Was averaging about 25 seconds on Thursday, but I got an official 22.85 average on Saturday at MIT Spring. I have no idea why I all of a sudden improved a ton, but I now average low 20s, so I won't complain.

I also got an 11.xy average on pyraminx with an 8.xy single –– I cannot replicate these times at home. I do not know why I all of a sudden got really good on the day of the competition, then went back to normal.

 

[DYGH.Tjen]

Actually got R2 U2' R2' U2' R2 in a real, normal speedsolve. Recognised and executed like a boss, too.

14.45 ao50 PB
13.59 ao12 PB
13.18 ao5 PB
10.78 single

definitely sub15 now

 

[Jaycee]

Just had my first explosion-like pop on my 4x4. During a speedsolve, too. It was kinda cool to see. xD 10 pieces popped out during a single turn. :O

 

[5BLD]

SUB 9!!!!
I don't think this deserves yet another thread of mine though. I've posted waay too many videos lately.

It was a 9.0x avg12 until this. I got this, then DNF [I aborted solve because i solved with the wrong blocks], 13, DNF [overinspection]. Mind you, the DNF didn't affect the average at all. Only the second made the whole average not valid

So much for a sub-9.1 avg12 on video :/

 

[a small kitten]

You are a beast.

 

[5BLD]

The zhanchi silk is amazing
Feels just like my good old zhanchi... only without the clackiness

I just realised this is the fastest Roux average on video. Maybe it IS worth a thread?

 

[a small kitten]

Glad to hear you like it. I personally hate clackiness.
