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

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?
 
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.
 
4x4 first average of 100, done over 2 days, 80 were done yesterday though:

avg100: 6.23
For some reason, I can't see the scrambles from qqtimer from my best avg of x's?

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
 
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 :D 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 <3
 
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.

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 :/

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

I just realised this is the fastest Roux average on video. Maybe it IS worth a thread?
 
Glad to hear you like it. I personally hate clackiness.
