Garf's Progression Thread - Beating Hard Levels in GD (Hardest is Bloodbath)

[Garf]

I plan to get really serious with BLD, and so I want a good cube for 3-bld. What should I get: the Moyu Weilong GTS3M or Dayan Tengyun V1? I use the RS3M maglev right now. I find that the cube is too fast, and no lubes can slow the cube down for long. I have wasted a lot of Gravitas on the RS3M 2021.

I would get the gts 3 m. Even though it is "old" it is a great cube, and can be slowed down a lot eaiser. I would also get some silicon lubricant, as it lasts longer in keeping the speed.

Eh... I don't really care about speed, I just want a cube that will allow to get a full solve without unstability getting in the way.
Should I get the "Tommy Cherry's GTS3M", or just a standard GTS3M that I can set-up myself?

Can't wait to try the GTS3M. I wanted to try it ever since I heard of it. Now... I am getting a pro set-up for the puzzle.

Splurging for that quick shipping? Nice.

Usually go for free shipping, but this cube... naw, can't wait.

I really hope you aren't planning on using the diamond file to remove the ridges.

Oh, heck no! I have other plans for it.

Just started a new session for 3x3... promise you, this solve isn't cap.

A friend of mine had some cups for cupstack... I was just expecting a set of 12 cups. He gave me:
46 cups.
2 bags, held part of the 46 cups.
2 mats
3 timers, 2 are gen-4 and 1 is gen-3. One gen-4 timer is still working, the other's batteries are dead.
I found that kinda cool. Now I don't need to buy a timer. And can practice and get good at cupstacking.

If you want to sell the gen 3 or one of the gen 4's, I'll take it off your hands...

SO, now I have the cups, I have some goals I want to have accomplished by the end of the month:
-Learn the imperial stack, or 3-cycle stack, and average sub-20.
-Get good at 3-3-3 and 3-6-3. Average sub-5 for 3-3-3 and sub-10 for 3-6-3.

As for goals in cubing:
-Sub-1 minute megaminx
-Sub-1:10 5x5
-Sub 1:30 average 3-bld.

-Learn the imperial stack, or 3-style stack, and average sub-20.

For a moment, I Imagined you doing 3-style commutators on the cups to move them

I misspoke, I meant 3-cycle.

For some FNF progression: I played the newest update of FNAF-1... Bonnie and Foxy lagged me out the most, but somehow, with a school chromebook, I beat them.

 

[Garf]

Some things on my wishlist that I am planning to buy in the future:
-Moyu Aosu WRM 4x4
-YJ MGC 5x5 + 6x6.
-Replacement part for YJ MGC 7x7.

what cubes do you currently use for 4-6?

what cubes do you currently use for 4-6?

I used to use the MGC 4 and the Yushi 6x6 M, but I gave them away/sold them. As for 5x5, I use the Meilong M 5x5.
