BVCuber13’s Progression Thread

[BVCuber13]

Hi everyone! I decided to finally make a progression thread. I do have some goals for every event (except for FMC bc it takes too long and I hate it):

3x3: sub 7 avg at home, sub 8 in comp (7.50 overall PB, 8.27 PR)
2x2: sub 2.5 avg in comp (2.85 PR)
4x4: sub 30 avg at home (36.10 PB avg)
5x5: sub 1 single at home, sub 1:15 avg in comp (1:06.70 overall PB single, 1:16.26 PR avg)
6x6: sub 2:30 mo3 in comp (2:39.19 PR)
7x7: sub 3:45 mean at home (3:57.35 PB mean)
3BLD: sub 45 single at home (47.46 PB single)
OH: sub 20 avg in comp (20.52 PR avg)
Clock: sub 5 avg in comp (5.77 PR avg)
Mega: sub 1 single (1:00.39 PB single)
Pyra: sub 5 avg in comp (5.09 PR avg)
Skewb: sub 6 avg in comp (6.12 PR avg)
Squan: sub 20 avg in comp (21.08 PR avg)
4BLD: sub-5 single (5:11.45 PB single)
5BLD: sub-15 single (16:58 PB)
MBLD: 6/6 at home (5/5 26:31 PB)

Nice,

Any progress in 3bld?

Nice,

Any progress in 3bld?

what do you mean?

 

[BVCuber13]

Just got a really good 4x4 solve on the cubingtime.com weekly contest (5th solve)

Time: 33.53
What I did: I finished F2L at like 28 seconds and the LL was just OLL parity with corners solved, so basically LL skip with a flipped edge (you can see it in the attached image)

 

[BVCuber13]

Nice,

Any progress in 3bld?

Actually yes I just got a 1:05 which is PB by 12 seconds

 

[abunickabhi]

That's great. All the best for getting sub-1 globally.

 

[BVCuber13]

I just learned 7 simul flip for clonk! My PBs with this method (after grinding for 2 days) are: 8.83 single, 9.89 ao5

 

[Curunír]

for 3bld it depends on what you are trying to achieve
Orozco is easier but if you are going to learn 3-style anyway there is not much point in bothering with it
3-style is a bit harder but if you put in the effort its not to difficult

 

[BVCuber13]

I almost got my first ever 4BLD mean today

I have a comp this weekend (Ridgefield Spring 2024) so I'm hoping to just keep my PR streak alive (which probably will happen bc there's 5x5 and I haven't completed in 5x5 since October)

for 3bld it depends on what you are trying to achieve
Orozco is easier but if you are going to learn 3-style anyway there is not much point in bothering with it
3-style is a bit harder but if you put in the effort its not to difficult

There is defintely a point in learning it, namely that you can start implementing the 3-style algs that you know in your solves while you're learning, since you'd be using the same buffer (UFR), rather than having to make the gigantic switch from 1 corner alg to a few hundred comms. 3-style will just come more naturally if you use it when you can, instead of using it because you force yourself to.

And orozco is really just a subset of 3style, so there's not really a point in not learning it, because you're going to have to learn the algs either way. Might as well learn the concept.

 

[BVCuber13]

doing a 5BLD attempt rn wish me luck guys

 

[Americancuber232]

Good luck then.

 

[BVCuber13]
