cuberswoop's Progression Thread | I have no clue what I'm doing

[Garf]

The first line was just a joke don't worry

Oh. I thought you meant it literally.
Doesn’t matter. Whenever you have the budget, the MGC 5x5 is a great cube to get from all the reviews I have seen, and based off the awesome performance of the 4x4

Alright, I just got some mystery puzzles I ordered on Friday, really happy with almost everything I got.

I ordered 1 $3 mystery puzzle and to $5 mystery puzzles. I was hoping for something good, WCA or non-WCA and I got my wish.

So the first thing I took out was the $3. It was this garbage 3x3 in an opened box.

MFJS MF3 3X3 is what it was when I looked it up.​

So that was disappointing, really. Plus I already had that cube.

Then, I took out a $5 mystery puzzle. It was a pyraminx. More specifically it was a GOOD pyraminx.
It was the

YJ YULONG PYRAMINX V2 M, which is evidently very good.​

Alright, so 1/2 puzzles were good immediately. I was hoping for a non-WCA puzzle to finish it off, but I got something better.

It was the RS3M 2020. It may be my new main here sometime.


So basically it was an early Christmas. Also, I'm going to be doing an average of 250 with the RS3M, and the X-man Tornado V2. Whichever is faster will be my main. EDIT: Only doing 100 solves now.

Also, @TheEpicCuber, it's not that my family doesn't have money, it's just that I don't know how to save it.

Nice! I personally don't order mystery puzzles because of the risk but it seems like you got great cubes. The rs3 was my main for 11 months, and its a great puzzle and is really stable.

My tip: Just order the cheaper ones, as I did.

still, I want to now what I'm getting(I'm very cautious)

Alright, done with the Ao100 on the X-man Tornado V2.
Starting RS3M Ao100 now.

Tornado Average was 19.65.

Just checked out where that would put me in the world. My single is tied with Tymon's for 114th in the world. My average would put me at 638th in the world. Going for the top 100 soon.

Whoa nice setup

 

[cuberswoop]

Whoa nice setup

Thanks! Evidently, I'm one of the only people who have an actual background that's not weird.

Finished with the RS3M average, and my Ao100 was 19.10, compared to the tornado's 19.65, so my new main is the RS3M.

Gonna be frank, they look like trash.

Gonna be frank, they look like trash.

Well at least I wasn't the one who got a forty second solve on skewb! *grumbles*

*looks down because that solve was done blindfolded*

I didn’t mention anything about your family. I was just saying in general, but alright. Nice claims.

Drilled 2x2 CLL algs for about 30 seconds and then lost motivation. Why do I have to live in the U.S man?

 

[cuberswoop]

Me: Watches Z3Cubing's how to get fast at skewb (Intermediate tips and tricks)
Z3Cubing: So over the years I've been doing skewb I've gotten down to 6 or 7 seconds.
Me who already average sub-7.5: Completely unacceptable.

Alright, so lately, youtube has really convicted me to finish learning Sarah's Advanced for skewb. What I mean I this video has been showing up NUMBER 1 on my recommended tab.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:
I am going to learn all of Sarah's Advanced [U]BEFORE[/U] Monday this week. It sounds like a challenge, but I have all the 2 sledge cases down. Basically, I want to learn WHAT to do. It doesn't have to be perfect, instant recognition into the alg. I just want to remember how to do it so I can train it.

Speaking of a Skewb alg trainer, I will be making one, it will be krap, and it will be a desktop application, but I'll leave it on GitHub if anyone is interested in it.

Since mine will look like garbage, I was wondering if someone would like to make a good skewb web-based trainer, since one does not currently exist, for some reason.

Also, I'm probably gonna watch that video on procrastinating.
