Fukuoka Kengo James' Progression Thread

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Sorry for not replying - I don't get notified if you do @, I guess I will switch that now

They are very good algs - Carter Kucala is WR holder, so definitely use his algs. I assume you know Advanced (I am not sure) but if you use Intermediate definitely switch. Would definitely recommend knowing full Advanced before learning NS.

What’s the difference between Sarah’s Advanced, L2L and NS?

Sledge hedge combos vs algs

Sledge hedge combos vs algs

If so I think I already know most of the advanced cases as well as some NS algs

What’s your goals for Worlds?

Worlds is coming in 2 weeks and I'm competing in 2x2, 3x3, skewb and pyraminx. As I will have chance to compete in 2x2, 3x3 and pyraminx as well in early September in Singapore, I'm gonna focus on skewb in worlds (but I have not practiced skewb for a long time so I will have to pick it up again)

For 2x2, my goal is to get sub 5 avg.

For 3x3, my goal is to get sub 17 avg and sub 15 single.

For skewb, my goal is to get sub 5.5 avg, which will place me into Japan NR20.

For pyraminx, my goal is to get sub 10 avg.

Will get on my flight very soon

6.26 Skewb avg
Japan NR30

Two 5.54s? Well done!

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Pure sub 5 PR avg
No PR Single tho

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Joke 3x3 avg but 13.90 PR single

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

3x3 avg is just trash but 13.90 PR single is really nice.
2x2 pure sub 5 is decent as well, just that the 3rd solve could have been PR single.
Skewb isn’t the best but at least I got NR30 avg, so I’ll take it.
Pyraminx is okay considering that I got sub 10 avg, but I got +2 out of a PR single because of the silly tips.

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Fun story about my pyraminx round:
After I got a +2 out of a PR single in the first solve, they gave me the wrong pyraminx in the 2nd solve. I was maining a PiCube Premium non-ballcore Weilong, but they gave me a non-UV GAN Pyra. I refused to solve on it and didn’t start the timer. I asked my judge to call a delegate out, but he asked me to just solve on it. I refused him again and asked for an extra as I have seen the scramble already on the other pyraminx. Then, they asked me to go back to the waiting area (and actually the score sheet wasn’t even mine). Then on the next solve when I was signing on the score sheet, I saw that someone has already signed on the 2nd row with a 47s solve. I told my judge that it’s not done by me and explained to him on what happened on the “2nd solve”. At the end, I got an extra and managed to get a sub 10 avg.

I was wondering what method you use for Skewb at the moment? I average around 11-12 seconds and want to become sub-10, I am a little unsure of what to learn next (I use the beginners method).

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Just got new 6x6 PB by 6s

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

First sub 50 PB on megaminx, faster than 4x4

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Finally completed my letter-pair sheet!
Learnt turbo lately and now I’m using turbo OP for 3BLD.

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Almost sub 2 pyraminx PB!
This scram is insane, somehow I’ve just learnt some basic L4E algs lately and I was able to recognise the L4E case during inspection
