Thank you. I'll do my best.
Oh wow someone finally beat my record, congrats, that single especially is insane!! I stopped practicing after the first few weeks it was in the weekly comp and I expected my records to be taken shortly after, but it took almost a year in a half. Now that there is some competition I might try getting back into it, although I'm a bit too focused on FTO at the moment to try now. IDK any faster times, I think these were my PBs but I can't say for sure because it was so long ago.
Thank you! You're killing it with FTO so I understand ignoring Curvy Copter for a while, haha. I'd love to see you get back into it someday and have some competition for the records.
I like solving Curvy Copter, it just feels like scrambling it takes about 10 minutes each time. I guess I should work on a CurvyCopterScramblerBot, but honestly it's a low priority right now.View attachment 20566
Got site record average two weeks in a row! My previous average was 1:41.24. Really happy with these results, it felt like a matter of time until I got a few good solves in a row. I haven't actually been practicing much, but I may start ramping up practice again now - sub-1:30 feels imminent at this rate.
Also, let's see some more Curvy Copter participation! It's such a fun event but the leaderboards are still pretty small. If you haven't been competing in it, give it a try - take my record while you're at it! Healthy competition is fun.

Fair, scrambling definitely improves with practice though. If you want to get faster at it, I'd recommend working on your intuitive understanding of the jumbling moves - instead of looking at all five moves one at a time, I basically treat them like a single move.
I already do that, it's just a lot of moves total and the shape-shifting moves trip me up sometimes.
Ah, to have one that turns nicely.
The white plastic LanLan ones are smoother turning than the black ones. I took one apart and put the black outer caps on white internals and it is very smooth to turn and fingertrickI think scrambling it takes me about 3 minutes, not 10. But I could see how that 3 minutes can feel like 10 minutes. It doesn't help that it physically hurts my hands to turn it.
I think a stock FTO hurts more than a curvy copter, though.
At least for 3x3 we're (hopefully) past the stage where different colored plastic feels different
Whoa, I'd be curious to try this. My black LanLan is alright after a lot of breaking in and some lubing, but it definitely gets lockups pretty often.
And on another note, sub-1:30 shockingly happened way earlier than I expected! I have an 89-solve session in csTimer from the past week after not doing any serious practice for months so it's very satisfying to see the practice pay off.

Technically it's on video but it's very low quality and mostly out of frame. Click here if you're interested anyway!
