Arcanist's Progression Thread // Sub 10 3x3 ao100 before anything else

[VincentCuber]

why is the forum not amazing anymore?

Toxicity, arguments, and unnecessary posts. I am not saying I haven't done anything bad, because I also kinda suck at spelling and making unnecessary posts, so I am not saying that I haven't contributed to this, but there are some people who are spamming and making arguments about usless things such as a bad aperm alg. (Looking at you, @VincentCuber)

Obviously 5BLD

 

[Arcanist]

Been making some progress with 5x5 and 4x4. I learned to solve a 5x5 which was quite easy knowing the 4x4. Want to hit cutoff of 1:30 for 4x4. I average like 1:40 though.

Well I think 5BLD is, after MBLD, the least developed event so that might not even be such a weird thing to say.

Good luck! I think you can get from 1:40 to 1:30 pretty easily by just doing a bunch of solves. Make sure to use inspection well, most favorably planning at least the first 2 centers. Big time saver!

Yeah I'm already down to like 1:25 but comp is very soon. Also my 5x5 solves are like 7 minutes

 

[Arcanist]

Comp was a few days ago and I accomplished most of my goals! I got a sub 15 ao5 round 1 but a little slower than that round 2. I hit cutoff for 4x4 with a sub 1:20 average overall. I did unfortunately dnf both 5x5 solves about a minute over time limit.

Big cubes suck.

anyway good job on the sub 15 ao5, and accomplishing all your goals!

7x7. It’s the only NxN that I don’t have a mean/average in because I don’t have enough money to own one. And by the time I earn enough money to get one I end spending on a new 3x3 lol.

Squan. I have a comp with it coming up soon hopefully so I will finally learn it, but I never learned parity and also am very bad at it

OP as in Old Pochmann? If so, I've just learnt it, and it isn't really all that hard.

I know how OP works, it’s just trying to do the setup moves and Speffs that caused me lose motivation and give up
