Nice solves! It's awesome to see your improvement since Nats.
Also, to expound on what Kennan said: practicing many events is usually better than just sticking to one for a very long time. There are some tricks and patterns you might more easily find on 5x5 which can translate to 6x6 or 7x7 and vice versa, so it's advantageous to do it all.
Also, I find that just doing one puzzle for a very long time is a waste. I just get stuck! Like... if I hit a wall on 3x3, I may practice 4x4 instead for a while... then 5x5, and so on. Then when I come back to 3x3 I experience a small burst in speed. And the same is true for those other puzzles as well. For instance, I hadn't touched my 7x7 in 2 months, and my first Ao12 was 20 seconds faster than my previous PB.
Not to mention, the more you practice 3x3, the better your 3x3 stage will get on 6x6 and above. Like seeing more efficient crosses, better F2L, etc.
I'm not saying you shouldn't be "That Guy that only does 6x6". But I do think it might be detrimental to your cause. Regardless of where you go from here, do note, we all know who Aussie is and that he loves 6x6.
