Goals Thread

Short term: Sub 13 in a week or so
Longer term: Sub 12 2 months (first year of cubing)
Long term: practice something other the 3x3 and go to another comp.

Got a 12.6 Mean of 100, So I think it's safe to say I'm sub 13, took a little longer than a week from when I made this post. Same goals, I have been practicing more Skewb.
 
I have this almost every time with red front; I forget about F2L edges and orient them all wrong. Or sometimes I remember for some and not others and end up with 2 wrong.

Hope you understood that I meant almost every solve or so not only like red front :P So I will probably continue practice with Roux for now =)

That happened to me at first when using ZZ. My EOLines would take a quarter of my solve (they're only a fifth now) and would not even orient all edges. They still don't sometimes.
 
My best 3x3x3 ao100 is 16.90 now, and my 2x2x2 global average is 4.5-6, so I was part of the way there... :) I learnt like 6 sq-1 EPs but didn't practise because my puzzle pops too often to make me want to solve it for more than 20mins at a time...

Goals for April

Practise solving first blocks (hard to quantify, as long as I don't suck at them I'll be happy)
Get much better at cross+1 (4s ao100)
Practise Yau cross+centres (improve by a few seconds or so)
Get sub-4 at 2x2x2 (what the heck, I got the bite so I may at least try and achieve something decent)
Get back into clock solving, write my solving tips and tricks guide and film some videos

I ended up not doing 2x2x2 for like two weeks so now my global average hasn't moved (i got a 4.25ao100 before i stopped practising, at least)
Clock tips and tricks guide is like half written

Goals for May

Don't let cubing get in the way of revision
But EG-1 algs have been fun so far so I might try and learn a subset or two
Finish clock tips + tricks guide
 
Goals: Get some Legos and make skewb torpedoes. 2. Don't let Drew catch up to me 3. Get an official average decent enough for a free Moyu skewb
Deadline: before nats I suppose, ideally before the Moyu skewb is released.
 
Goal:

-Learn full PLL and know the algorithms by muscle memory
-Get a sub 30 (ave 5 now is 40)

Deadline:

In 1 week
 
Goals by end of '14
2x2 sub 10 (not training at all atm)
3x3 sub20 avg (sub30 but learned CN and haven't gone down in over 2 months)
Learned full pll, now oll

4x4: sub 1.20 (got a few sub 1.30's without parity)

5x5: sub 3m (got them all around the 4m

Learning pyraminx and megaminx since they just arrived. Know how to solve the megaminx, with the beginners oll/pll. Around 7m now, want 3-4m

6x6: sub 5 (just got it, am around 7)

7x7: sub 9 (just got it, am around 11-12m)


Cubing since december, so got 7 more months for all
