Goals Thread

EZ Cubes goalssssss:

2x2: PB average and I'll be good
3x3: I just want a lolsingle that's like a 7 or something, is that too much to ask???
4x4: Sub-40 single 4realz
5x5: I don't even know what method I'm using
6x6: Sub-2:25 single, Sub-2:35 mean (state records are possible with good parity luck)
7x7: Sub-3:45 single, sub-3:55 mean
Clock: Sub-11 single, sub-12 average
 
Goals for Swedish championships:

2x2: lol its stupid, dont even know why I'm doing it. Will use the Hays method, LBL and pray for a PLL skip.
3x3: sub14, semifinals would be nice
4x4: Low 50 average
5x5: no sup1:50s, ~1:42 average
OH: don't screw up, maybe make finals¨
Mega: at the very least a sub1 single, hopefully sub1 average and podium
 
3x3:
  • Do my 2-look OLLs consistently (no forgetting the fish like in comp yesterday)
  • Get my cross to be efficient enough so that inspection actually means something
  • Get a speedcube
2x2:
  • Finish learning that second layer
  • Get times down so that if I compete in it I won't get DNFed in the middle
Date: June 30, 2017 (cause I have to study for that SAT Subject test at some point...)

Clock: Sub-11 single, sub-12 average

2x2: You bet
3x3: 8.6 not even PB
4x4: 41 with PLL parity and bad PLL recognition
5x5: Turned out, 4 Redux and 1 Yau5
6x6: Failed the last two solves really bad
7x7: Got the single, then my cube broke
Clock: Got the single, failed the average

Overall, not bad at all...

OH
sub-40 average nope (40.58)

Square-1
WR1000 avg (sub-29 it would be) nope (30.38, WR 1114)
sub-25 single nope (26.18)

MBLD
I'm gonna get some new cubes hopefully next Monday, then I'll practice more. My goal is to try 10-11 cubes and get 2 fails at max (hopefully just 1). yup (9/11)

So far I'm the only one registered for any bld (except 3bld) event. At least I'm getting some podiums. :rolleyes:

3bld: 2nd 1st
4bld: 1st 1st
5bld 1st

mbld: 1st 1st

Singapore Special 2017

- Official average for everything I'm signed up for
- Get into the second round for something
- Megaminx: sub-2 average
- Squan: sub-35 average + stop being ranked last in the country for squan single (lol)
- 666: sub-3:40 average
- 777: sub-5:50 average

Megaminx soft cut: 99%
Squan soft cut: 80%
666 soft cut: 80%
777 soft cut: 80%
(hitting soft cut on 666/777 is 95% guaranteed if my cubes don't pop and I don't mess up my parity algs, but those two things happen not infrequently, and there's only one chance to hit the soft cut)
Sub-2 megaminx: 70%
Sub-35 squan: 30%
Sub-3:40 666: 60%
Sub-5:50 777: 60%
Not NR-last for squan single: 90%
Second round for something: 0.001%

SCC Summer goals:

2x2: I'd really love sub-2 single and sub-3 average, but everything would have to go perfectly
3x3: Sub-8.5 single, sub-10.5 average
5x5: Use a method
OH: Don't care at all
Pyra: PB average
Clock: Don't care at all
Skewb: Don't care at all
SQ-1: Sub-17 single, Sub-22 average (not like the event will actually happen anyway)
 
I am completely new at this (just over one week). My goal is to have a 5 solve average of under 1:30. I've done a 1:22 single solve and I just finished a 1:24 single solve but I tend to average around 2:05.

I'd love to get there by the end of this month.

I just hit my first sub 2 minute Average of 5. 1:54.32 This is using the beginner method. I'm still fumbling a lot and taking too long to build my first cross. But it's getting better.
