I think that sub 10 is fast, but I also believe that sub 7-8 could be considered fast as well. I just think that most people would say sub 10 is a better goal to consider as fast.

QOTD: How fast do you think is fast on 3x3?

I'd say sub 15

sub 6. When I get 6.01, I'm like 'oh cool, not bad', but 5.99 just hits different

Sub-15.

I guess it depends on the person. If you're a beginner, you might say sub-20 or sub-15. If you're more advanced though, you might say sub-10 or sub-8.

Was locking up a lot on my gan 356m and on a whim pulled out my moyu rs3m. Then this insane ao12 with a lot of great solves. Moyu > GAN confirmed

Under 5 seconds.

 

[Arcanist]

I haven't had a lot of motivation to post here or be on the forums in general but this ao50 with my YLM in public was crazy enough that I decided to post here. I am still cubing quite a bit with around 4 hours on the weekends and 3 hours during the week. I am getting close to sub 15 global!

Spoiler: Nice ao50 for me.

[Arcanist]

Sub 15 ao500 recently at home. Still not sure about sub 15 global though with a lot of inconsistency.

Edit for overall update:
1. Been pretty busy with stuff outside of cubing so I will probably have to cut back on my practice though I will still try to practice as much as possible.
2. I still am way better at 3x3 than any other event so once I'm sub 15 global for sure and more consistent I will start trying to do other events. Pretty sure I'll start trying to work on bld, oh, and other nxns.
3. I also need to update my pb sheet and I'll share some new pb's later.

QOTD (by @Garf):
Why did you start speedcubing, and what motivated you to keep going and breaking your goals/times?

QOTD (by @Garf):

My school had this thing and one of the activities was an informal cubing competition and since I could solve one I figured I should do it, sometime in between signing up and the actual thing I decided to time my self to see how I would do, then I did it again and and seeing the improvement was super satisfying so I started practicing.

QOTD (by @Garf):

I started speecubing because I wanted to get faster, solving a Rubik's cube in 1+ minute didn't seem as nice as solving one in 10 seconds. What motivated and still motivates me, is the fact that I want to get better, and I know I can reach my goals if I keep on trying.
