4x4x4 PB: 9:09.39 [4:30.77]. 1st weekly comp scramble. Just tried to go a bit faster on execution (thanks Joey for convincing me that I'm slow!) and I managed to cut a minute off execution PB and overall PB. Pretty easy cycles on centres.
 
Yay. Edges only memo/execution in 1:09.18. It's too bad, corners were easy :(
Good though, fast for me.

So, you actually get 1:1x DNFs in weekly competition and consider a 1:09 edges only fast for you?

He might have stopped that solve. But he does say he got a 1:26.xx DNF. Corners memo and execution in around 20 seconds?
 
nlCuber22, can you clarify your bld time? In weekly comp it looks like you can do bld in 1:10, but here it looks like it is a fast time for edges only. ???

Sure. Normally, assuming I get a success, get 3.xx.xx.
The 1:26 memo was quite rushed and looking back, I overreacted. I probably forgot to do something in that solve, but I remember that I did a setup move wrong and then couldn't remember. Rest assured I don't get anything close to those times, ever. One of the other DNFs was a pop, and the other one my mom started talking to me and screwed up my memo so I stopped those two. >_>

Looks like I should explain my result at DC Open now too:
First solve was something in the 40s. Why? Let's see:
Cross mistake, resulting in a 6 second cross
My cube felt different, like, really loose. Don't know why.
I was shaaaaaaaaking.
Several mistakes in F2L, and when I was "done" I found that I had 2 flipped edges, which I had to go back and fix.
Dot OLL which ended up as a slow 2 look algorithm (don't know a name for it, but back then I used f R U R' U' f' F R U R' U' F' - I switched to a faster one since) at PLL, I got an Nb perm (slow), which I popped an edge on. It turned out I put it back flipped and had to fix that at the end. Recog was slow on top of that.

It even felt faster than 40, but it did feel like forever.
All of the DNF's were just instances of my cube having a bad pop, but the 2nd one was just 1 mistake in F2L and I didn't want to continue the solve, I felt so bad about it. I probably should have continued it because it would have at least been 20.xx.

30.xx was using someone else's cube, and it was just in general a failolol. Bad LL, bad F2L, bad everything, and even a minor pop. I was able to laugh that one off though.

As for my 2x2 solves, the 6 was a normal LBL solve, on the 12, I did Ortega but forgot the PBL so had to fix the FL, luckily I knew the CLL. And the 10 was just a bad solve, I still get those occasionally. Not sure about the DNF's, don't really remember.

In other words, I ultimately jesus'd up all my solves (I think. haha)

All in all, it sucked, especially because the comp ended early (however I do know it was for the best).
It was still lots of fun, because I got to meet some cool people, and I got my FII and my Pyraminx, which is great.

I would also like to say that I am indeed sub 20, and I normally get 16 averages. Please, at least believe me about that. I was really hoping to go to Indiana Winter so I could un-lol my WCA profile, but that didn't end up working out, unless by some miracle my dad says yes by tomorrow. (hoping for that)
Anyway, I'm really sorry.

I hope you accept this explanation, as it is the best I could put everything.
 
You shouldn't "be sorry" for us for getting bad times in competition.

Just try to get some decent solves in competition and people will believe you.
Just... I think, you yourself wouldn't believe anyone at all if he/she claimed to have an avg of 16 and getting like 40 in comp ^^
 
Bertalan did hungarian bld NR at benelux, 1:12.xx
he provided us the scramble (he generated it on his own)

here it is:
U2 F R2 F' U2 L' U' L' D2 R2 F U' B D2 L2 B2 D2 (17f)
and don't ask how fast I could do it because atm I'm exploding of anger.........
