AhsanDaCuber125’s Progression Thread // ANOTHER COMP??? // Practice Fall 2024

[AhsanDaCuber125]

My goals for each event on the grind now:
3x3: sub-15
2x2: consistently sub-4
4x4: sub-1:30
5x5: sub-3
Pyraminx: consistently sub-8
Skewb: same as pyraminx

I'm also planning to get some new cubes next month, so yeah

 

[AhsanDaCuber125]

Bruh, starting with 4x4 did not turn out good
I didn’t record solves, but how can you be motivated to practice when your 4x4 is so oily, and it never rubs off?

I guess the 5x5 time begins, I’ll have to wait until I get my new coobs…

 

[AhsanDaCuber125]

I solved a 5x5 today, I’m pretty sure it took over 10 minutes to get it solved.
How do you solve the last 3 edges when pairing?
(Note: I used Grubiks when I came to that case)

 

[AhsanDaCuber125]

I think I’ve finally decided what cubes I want to get:

2x2: QiYi M Pro Ball-Core
3x3: X-Man Tornado V4
4x4: VINCUBE Vin (Ball-core + UV)
Skewb: MoYu RS Skewb MagLev

When I said my PB was like 2 seconds, I dont think I even scrambled the Skewb right.

There were no downsolves at all, I used scrambles from the Easy scrambles thread, and made this average.
Does this count?

 

[Bingus cuber]

No. The Scrams were handpicked from a lucky scrams thread, do not count it

nah sorry it doesnt count

What 2x2 method do you use tho?

 

[AhsanDaCuber125]

LBL.
Best time with no downsolve was 1.22

 

[yes cubing]

Do u use cll?

if not how in the what do you get so fast with oll and pll

 

[bldcuber314]

Most of the solutions are probably skips. But I can get consistent 3s with 3 step LBL on 2x2, so it is possible.

 

[AhsanDaCuber125]

Has anyone tried the Tornado V4 Pioneer?

 

[AhsanDaCuber125]

Yes, finally!
I beat my slow 4x4 PB!!!
