Cubing Career "Bucket List"

[4Chan]

I just want a dumb sub-10 single.
I can't retire until I get one.

 

[TheGamingCuber5]

Before I quit cubing, I would like to:
Organize a competition somewhere closer than an hour drive from me
Any record
top 250 sum of ranks
sub 2 2x2
sub 10 3x3
sub 20 OH
Sub 30 4x4
sub 1:10 5x5
sub 2:45 6x6
sub 3:30 7x7
sub 3 pyra
sub 5 skewb
sub 1:15 mega
Learn a proper alg set for ll 3x3 XD
Learn the G-Perms. (not sure why I haven't yet, can sub 4 the 2-look algs)

My list is quite short and humble because, at my age 46 y/o), I cannot pretend that I'm going to ever get a NR or something like that even though, maybe at some big BLD event, it might be attainable by someone my age, but I'm not that good. So, here's my list:
- 3x3 sub-10 single, even if it's a very lucky one
- 4x4 sub-1min single
- get somewhat decent at 5x5 to 7x7
- enjoy cubing (I'll stop when I don't enjoy it any more)
- keep collecting nice puzzles (I don't have a specific number in mind)
- teach some children (maybe a grandson?) how to cube and spread the word, maybe even see this considered a sport like chess before I quit.

EDIT: Actually get somewhat decent at 3BLD (sub 2 min?) and learn 4BLD and maybe even 5BLD and get at least a success on each one someday. Also maybe get some day a 3/3 or better MBLD success. Thanks @JanW for reminding me of those

Like mafergut, I don't have any very competitive goals. Mainly the goal is to enjoy cubing, and to keep exploring and learning more about the cube. If I were ever to set a NR, the only event I can even theoretically imagine this to happen is FMC. I haven't studied FMC yet, but eventually I'm sure I will.

Some milestones I'm hoping to eventually reach:
-Be consistently sub-20 on 3x3
-Sub-30 on 3x3 with several different methods, also some obscure ones
-Sub 1 minute 3bld
-8+ mbld
-learn 4bld and 5bld
-learn and get decent at FMC

 

[cashis]

well my cubing passion has been renewed as of late so why not.
-be the same speed at roux as I am cfop (close!)
-be decent at ZZ (maybe the same speed too)
-learn zbll (wild eh)
-learn 2x2 (CLL, EG-1, LEG-1, REG-1, EG-2, TCLL+, TCLL-)
-go to a competition lol
-have an official sub-10 avg
-find my aosu
-get good at a big cube
-do all events

some of these are ridiculous, but I'm a bit of a completionist. shoot for the stars eh?

 

[Douf]

I hope to:

-Achieve a sub-20 average (or if I can only manage a PB single of sub-20, I'd still be proud)
-Officially compete in Megaminx
-Most importantly: Pass on the joy of cubing to younger people and nurture that passion in anyone who is interested. So far my nephews are into it and it's so great to see. I love encouraging people to get into it, especially as it adds to the excuse to place an order

 

[NewCuber000]

I'm stuck at the same speed for most events lately so hopefully that changes soon, but here are my goals before I retire (If that ever ends up happening )

-Average sub-10 on 3x3 (PLEASE)
-Actually start practicing BLD and get fairly good at it (Sub-1 3bld, and fairly decent results in 4bld, 5bld, and mbld)
-Compete in every WCA event
-compete in a large competition (Canadian open 2017, US Nationals 2017, or worlds 2017 maybe? Heck, even just some random Toronto comp would be fine XD)
-Top 100 sum of ranks
- Learn a really cool rubiks cube trick (I'm trying to figure out how to solve 3 rubiks cubes while juggling right now, I've been trying for 2 weeks but im not giving up lol)
-Get NR/NAR/WR in any event.

 

[Ksh13]

While you might think I'm crazy, I think all of these are within reach:

-Full ZBLL
-Know over 1000 algs
-Get sub-9 for 3x3
-Going to Euros or Worlds some day and do pretty well there
-Get an ER (okay this might be out of reach lol)
-Podium at 3x3 at Norwegian nats
-Here is a list of all events I want to get at least some kind of NR in: 3x3, 3x3 OH, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, 3BLD, 4BLD, 5BLD
-I guess do all events at some point
-Win something at a comp

 

[Berd]

I want a couple:

Become a world champion in an event
Sub 10 2x2-7x7
6 and 7 BLD
MBLD NR
Top 32 sum of ranks

Probably many more but that's OK for now!

I don't think REG-1 is a thing, just execute where bar is on the left, I've never seen an alg set for that

 

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

i've already achieved my goal: take pictures with harris chan

i only compete so one less child is in the finals of every canadian competition.

My newest goal is to get a photo with you after I make sure you don't podium anything.
Lol jk
Actually a group pic would be fun.

 

[mark49152]

Before I quit cubing I want...
- Sub-1 3BLD
- Sub-1 4x4
- Sub-2 5x5
...official averages, but singles will do to start with.

Also top 100 in world at 4/5BLD and MBLD. I don't have the same kind of landmark times as targets for those.

Also go to Worlds or Euros, organise a comp, and get a 6BLD at home.

By the time I've done all that, there'll be new things on the list.

 

[JaredRB9000]

My Bucket List:
2x2: Sub-2/Get a 2x2 instead of pretending my AoSu is a WeiPo
3x3: Sub-10
4x4: Sub-1m
5x5-7x7/Mega: git guud
Pyra: Sub-5
Go to a bunch of Comps (none ever in my area)
Meet some cubing friends! (I taught 2 people to solve it, and I have a friend [don't see much] who was Sub-70, but I want some really devoted cubers to hang out with, even thru discord/skype/whatever)

 

[virginia]

Compete in every wca event and get a average in each one (maybe not 4 or 5 blind idk)

Get some sort of record in any event (nr or cr or wr)

Make a YouTube and become one of the biggest YouCubing channels

Own some really expensive puzzle like a radiolarian

Get sub 15 on 3x3 by mid 2017

Just gonna say that this is a really good idea for a thread

 

[jebzie]

Get a better official 3x3 Roux average than with CFOP. I have 13.77 with CFOP and I average around 21 with Roux after 2 weeks.

Get 3 NR's. I Think Pyraminx and 2x2 will be the only ones.

Get sub 10 on 3x3

Host atleast one competition with over 100 competitors. (The biggest one in Sweden has been 105)

Get over 1000 subs on my channel.

Be top 3 for sum of ranks in Sweden

To go to comps in 8 or 9 different countries. I hav e been in Sweden, Denmark and Czech only but I'm going to Norway, Finland and France.

And last get a sub2 official average on 2x2

 

[Julio R.]

Podium in 3x3
Win 2x2 (People in SoCal aren't very good at 2x2)
Learn blind
Learn full oll/lse depending on if I switch to roux
Sub two all my plls
Get over 5000 followers on ig @dankcubememes

 

[Umm Roux?]

Podium in 3x3
Win 2x2 (People in SoCal aren't very good at 2x2)
Learn blind
Learn full oll/lse depending on if I switch to roux
Sub two all my plls
Get over 5000 followers on ig @dankcubememes

LSE isn't too hard to learn, the algs are barely 4 moves long. It's usually one alg and many cases. Only switch if you truly enjoy it. Don't force either method.

My goals: Win all Toronto comps(3x3) with 2-look CMLL(2 second 2look). Or very slow CMLL(2seconds).
Get a WR solve because nobody builds white/yellow blocks.

You know what, I am actually going to try this. My main goal is to be a top five (3x3) cuber within one year of learning how to cube. I hope Alex revives, PDF and Guroux will also sandwich Feliks in the standings with me. (Mid-June 2017)

 

[Rcuber123]

Get an NR (missed pyra NR single by 0.08 last year )

A bit late but I got a 3.23 NR 2x2 average

 

[Kubzy]

My bucket list (Started cubing about a month ago):
- Invent a new method, doesn't have to be the best but it has to work.
- Go to UK Champs or Worlds
- Podium at a pretty big competition.
- Learn full PLL and subset or OLL (Only been cubing for a month, haven't learn't full PLL yet, I use 2 look everything with CFOP)
- Learn a new method like Petrus, ZZ or Roux
- Be famous
- Race with Donald Trump
- Learn any BLD, practice memorization and average sub-11 on 2BLD
- Get sub-10 in 2 years maybe. sub-30 in 4 months, sub-20 in 9months to 1 year
