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

PB sheet.
A lot of the PBs I forgot, so I went off with partial memory/speedsolving comp.

Whoops. Just fixed. Thanks for pointing that out!

 

[Garf]

I also am, but my dad thinks cubing is a waste of time.

Show him a video of Max Park breaking the world record average with a 5.08 single. Then (try to, at least) explain how your goal is to get to that level, and (hopefully) how easier it is to learn new concepts since when you started your journey of speedcubing.

This week, I will:
-Do a ton of Blind solving for 3x3. Learning 3-style for 3x3 corners
-3x3 and 3x3 OH: just going to do some solves in both as to stay at the level I want to be at.
-Order two RS3M 2020s, as they feel really good to me RN and I love the puzzles.

Receation of Valk vs Felik's scene.

This was footage taken at the competition I went to, with Lucas on the main scene and me on the right.
Better footage of the scene:

 

[Garf]

Goals: get good at 3-style corners (3-bld), planning first pair in inspection (3x3/3x3-OH), and getter starting grip with the 3x3 (3x3/3x3 OH)

 

[Garf]

Anyone know some good example solves for M2/3-style? The method is rare, but I am trying to get better at 3-style so that I can get faster.

Yo! So Saturday, I received a Dayan Tengyun M 3x3. It is decent, and I want to mess around with the cube some more.
But just 10 minutes ago... I was minding my own business, starting on my homework. Then my mom comes downstairs, rather suspiciously. She asks me if I noticed anything different. I said her shirt was new. She then turned around and showed me a QIYI MoFangGe cube bag. Not only that, but inside the bag was a shirt, socks, and GAN 11 M PRO!!!

its a great cube, but try not too mess with the settings too much, especially the lube. it becomes really bad if you get the wrong settings. i loved it when i first got it, but then around 2 months ago i messed up the settings, and hated it until a few days ago, when i spent a few hours and tried a lot of settings. its now great. i recommend a mystic setup
also, is it uv or frosted?

Frosted. But I don't mind it too much.

 

[gsingh]

how are you liking both cubes?

 

[gsingh]

how are you liking both cubes so far?

 

[Garf]

They are pretty good. Both are enjoyable to use. Really light. I like the GAN more because the turning is just so unique.

I frickin did it! I broke the 1-minute barrier for a megaminx single!

Megaminx is my favorite event now!

How long have you been doing Megaminx?

 

[Garf]

How long have you been doing Megaminx?

Two years. My first was the shengshou (had that for a year), then got the Yuhu, then haven't switched then.

 

[Garf]

An announcement to all of you: I am not going to the competition tomorrow. I didn't complete a deal with my mom, so yeah...

Poggers, I got a 1:10 average and PB in the speedsolving comps! 59.73!!!
