So at US Nationals in August this year, my goal is to try all WCA events (I might decide to exclude 4BLD and 5BLD, I don't know if I really care that much). Currently, I can do:

2x2
3x3 (why would I even be here if I didn't?)
4x4
5x5
6x6
7x7
OH
Pyraminx
Megaminx
FMC

So that just leaves:

3BLD (I know how to do corners, once I get the scheme and the setup moves down Ill be fine, then it's just extending that to edges)
MultiBLD (I'll probably just attempt like 2 or 3)
Skewb
Square-1
Clock
Feet (I just haven't cared enough to get past my second pair, but I could probably do it with a bit of practice)

So for the events I haven't done, any tips or comments? If some of them are easy, hard, etc? Also, what are your thoughts on this? Have you guys done this? Thanks.
 
yeah i've done everything except an FMC Mo3 which i will do this weekend.
its definitely worth doing just because it keeps you busy and you can see what you are capable of and improvement is almost always an occurance no matter of the puzzle.
 
If I were going to Nats this year, I'd be competing in every event (except feet because I refuse to recognize that crap as an event). If you want to do it, go for it. As for the ones you can't do yet:

3BLD - you sound reasonably confident about this and know what you need to do, which is great. It isn't that hard to start getting successes once you understand what you're supposed to be doing.

MultiBLD - Once you can do a single cube, extending to a few cubes is pretty easy, since you're given 10 minutes per cube when doing only a few.

Skewb - strange puzzle at first, but super simple to learn to solve, you shouldn't have trouble here

Square-1 - Learning and getting used to cubeshape can be difficult, you'll probably want to spend a fair amount of time with this puzzle before Nats to make sure you're comfortable with it

Clock - simple and intuitive, really easy to learn and really easy to get somewhat decent at
