I'm still hyped for this competition..

 

[The3point14]

me too, even though I'm not practicing much... i'm still ready for that 3x3 one-handed competition i'm going to beast!

 

[SaberSlash49]

Yeah, it looks like I'm the slowest of the bunch there, except maybe 1 or 2 people. I'll just have to practice alot.

As for the newcomers for this competition, I've been talking to Michael Perkins, and he got an MSN. I'll probably be talking to him.

 

[The3point14]

It doesn't matter how fast you solve it, everyone is welcomed so there is no obligation to practice hardcore. The competitions are meant for people to have fun and compete at the same time.

Ive been talking to Michael also. Hurray for Dallas people.

Things are looking better for me, I might end up going. My dad has been asking about it a lot, so he will probably let me go.

 

[SaberSlash49]

Cool, I'm guessing you live in Dallas as well? Well, I'm not EXACTLY in Dallas, but I'm pretty darn close.

 

[Ashmnafa]

Eh, Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Arlington, Garland, Allen, Irving, its all the same.

 

[IamWEB]

^I'm right between a few of those.

He's a little futher than that, though.

 

[Ashmnafa]

IM GOING TO AUSTIN.

Heck yeah.

GOALS:

Don't be completely awful.
Get 3x3 sub 30 avg and sub 26 single.
Not to be the worst at OH, 4x4, 5x5, and megaminx
Learn to BLD
HAVE FUN AT MY FIRST COMP!!!!!

 

[IamWEB]

What do you average OH?
Although I've messed around with it occasionally (almost never timing myself), I just started OH today. In fact, I just started a few minutes ago!
MY first could is averaging sub-1:15.
If I remember OH in Houston though (or just check the results ), I'm already faster than the slowest times there, lol.

EDIT: Oh yea, I'm definitely going to do well with practice.

 

[Weston]

I am determined to get a sub 25 OH average.
I must beat Anthony.

 

[vrumanuk]

Might as well put up some goals
Goals:
3x3: Sub-26 avg
4x4: Have one (and not fail)
5x5: Not be last

I am determined to get a sub-1:00 OH average. That number will probably lower as I practice though.

I must watch you beat Anthony.

Might as well put up some goals
Goals:
3x3: Sub-26 avg
4x4: Have one (and not fail)
5x5: Not be last

I didn't have one (that was for speedsolving), and I didn't fail.
You may get to use someone else, but anyway good luck!

I'm planning on ordering a mini QJ (along with a 3x3x4 and mini C!!) soon, so I should be set.

 

[IamWEB]

I have a mini QJ, and I love it so far (got it Friday).

In other 4x4x4 news, moments ago I just broke my PB with 1:16.78!
I broke my PB yesterday also, so basically: mini QJ is awesome.

Order your NOW!

EDIT: I just broke my PB AGAIN with 1:07.78 (isn't it odd how I they're exactly 9 seconds apart?)
If THAT doesn't make you buy a QJ ASAP, what will?

I average sub-1:45 btw.

wow those slowest times in Houston must have been by a big noob.

 

[IamWEB]

YEAH!

I think his name was... Joshua?

ROFL. I would have already ordered but am doing a double order with a friend (he'll be at the comp, but I haven't convinced him to actually compete yet, lol) and he hasn't forked over his half of the cash yet.
In other completely unrelated news I just WTFPWNT my old average of 12, with a 15.41 non-lucky single.
