I just got no parties in the weekly competition for squan!

Ok, so I have a competition on Saturday

It has 3x3, megaminx, 5x5, 6x6, and 7x7

Basically I did not practice much because I do not like the events in this competition

Here are my goals:

3x3: A decent average, and hopefully a PR

5x5: Make cutoff and don't choke the average, sub-2 single

6x6: PR single, and make cutoff (although I probably won't)

7x7: Get an official success

Megaminx: Get an official average

My upcoming comps:

Hard to fingertrick

Pull with right index for first move and middle finger flick for third move is probably the best way to finger trick it

Sub-2 in weekly comp!

I'm probably not going to beat this for a while

 

[Discomantis]

Ok, so I have a competition in 5 days, so I thought I'd post my goals on it.

The competition has 2 rounds of 2x2 and 3x3, and 1 round of 3BLD.

anyway, here are my goals:

2x2: Get a decent official average, and win. My current PR is 2.72 and I know I can easily smash it. The competition only has 25 competitors and I'm 2nd on the psych sheet, so I know I could potentially win the comp.

3x3: Get a decent official average and make finals. I've never made a 3x3 finals ever, and since the competition is small, it is very easy to get into 3x3 finals. My recent averages have been very bad and I want to get a decent average.

3BLD: Get a PR, and a second success. Currently, 3BLD is tied for my longest standing PR, and I want to break it, as I know that all I will need is a decent success to PR.


I also really want to keep my PR streak. I probably will, but there aren't many events in this competition so there's a chance I might.

Ok, so I have a competition on Saturday

It has 3x3, megaminx, 5x5, 6x6, and 7x7

Basically I did not practice much because I do not like the events in this competition

Here are my goals:

3x3: A decent average, and hopefully a PR

5x5: Make cutoff and don't choke the average, sub-2 single

6x6: PR single, and make cutoff (although I probably won't)

7x7: Get an official success

Megaminx: Get an official average

Ok, so here are the results to the comp:

In 3x3, I got a PR single by 0.02 seconds, but the averages were bad. (It took me 62 solves to beat that PR) The 12.67 on solve 3 had a miss slot, and I didn't realize until I did OLL, so I had to resolve both pairs and redo OLL, but I still got a decent time. It would have been PR by a lot without the missslot.



In 5x5, I got an overall PB average by over 4 seconds, and a sub-1:50 single, both of which are insane for me. The 2:20 had an accidental slice move during 3x3 stage, so I had to redo edges.

In 6x6, I had a 4 piece pop, and failed to beat my longest standing PR.

In 7x7, I got a decent solve and got my first official success. (Now I have a official single in all non-BLD events)

In megaminx, I wanted to make cutoff. (cutoff was 2:15) On the first solve, I failed on CP, and on the second solve, I corner twisted and didn't realize, which caused the whole cube to be messed up after CP.

Ok, so I went to a comp today, so here’s how I did:

I got a 2.21 winning average and a 2.49 average in round 1 for 2x2 average and a 2:46.42 3BLD PR2 single!

The 3BLD solve is my 2nd best solve ever!

I also made 3x3 finals for the first time by one spot.
