Cubist Guitar vs. CubeLite: The Race of the Cubes and Clocks: The Battle of Hemispheres: The War of Time itself

[Cubist-Guitar]

This thread is being made to make public me and CubeLite’s race to a goal on Clock, as me and him both have a competition on Clock in the next couple weeks. As we cannot race on a website (He lives in Romania, and me live in ‘Merica), we will have our results here, for all to see. Infinite Bragging Rights until the next competition. Will be the prize.

We will be racing to a sub 7 ao100

Can i join? I also have a comp (in 2 weeks with 1 round of clock)

 

[Cubist-Guitar]

Every clock PB except single (5.15)


This was after I changed my pin order and diligent practice for the past 4 days (I averaged 9.5)

Nice, what pin order do you use?
I can give some tips if you send some solves.

 

[CubeLite]

Here are my PBs for clock

Also what method do you use @Cubist-Guitar, I use 7-simul flip

I use flip

My pin order without skips would be dl, ul, ur, R, (AUF), flip, dl, ul, ur, R, and the solve corners in this order: ul, ur, dr, dl, AUF

// Scramble
UR3- DR3+ DL5+ UL5+ U5+ R1- D2+ L1+ ALL4+ y2 U6+ R5+ D5+ L1+ ALL2-
//Solve
y2 z DL1+ UL1+ R5+ ALL4-

//IDK HOW TO DO CORNERS

This is tbh the best pin order

DR (Match C to U)
UR (Match C and U to L)
UL (match the l shape you made with UR either with R or D, I do R.)
U (if you chose R then match everything to D)
All (match to 12)

for corners i do dl ur ul dr

this is for me the best pin order, i became around sub 7 with this and i am almost sub 6.

also try to do maximum 2 d moves as it can save time.

Incredible day at Clock for me, with almost all PB’s
11 sub 7’s, with a sub 6 (5.74) single
6.79 ao5 and mean
7.44 ao 12
7.94 ao 50
8.32 ao100

Since I turned faster, I got more DNF’s, but it was worth it.

 

[CubeLite]

I beated every PB that I could've beaten

 

[Cubist-Guitar]

I finally got a sub 8 ao100 on Clock, and a clock PB that have been standing for more than 3 months

Sub 5 soon?

Finally a sub 6 seconds solve, and also what is that scramble, there is almost the entire cross solved

Been a couple of weeks, but some cool updates

First of all, my comp came and passed, and I got a 8.61 official ao5 with a counting 7.8, so I thought that was pretty good in a comp setting, and put me in the top 10 in my state

Second, after that, I took a short break from it for a couple days, and popped off

[Gecko777]

so you wanna get an ao100 thats faster than your pb ao5?

 

[bldcuber314]

It's a progression thread(and race) so why not have a long term goal?

 

[Gecko777]

just asking for clarification

 

[Cubist-Guitar]

so you wanna get an ao100 thats faster than your pb ao5?

Ideally, that’s the goal. For now, I just want one that’s around 7.4, as I have a ao25 of 7.2, and I if can do that for 60 or so solves, I’d be close

Even more unbelievable, this is the first day I have done clock in a week, and the first I have practiced deliberately in at least two weeks.


7.19 ao100, can feel I am a day or two away from a 7.00 ao100, but I want to prove that I am sub 7, so I will have a bet with myself

I want a sub 7 average in comp, or at the very least a very low 7 average

This will be difficult, but if I can be nearly sub 7 with relatively little practice at home, I can be sub 7 in comp

 

[Cubist-Guitar]

I started intensely focusing on getting better at clock April 18th

In less than a month, I have gotten a sub 7 ao100

thank you @CubeLite, for motivating me to this

I am satisfied

At least someone got better, I just don't really like clock now, so good job for winning
