Goals Thread

My goals in order of priority:
1.: Be Sub-13 on the 3x3.
2.: Be Sub-1 on 4x4.
3.: Do a Sub-31 PLL Time Attack... on video.
4.: Learn to do blindsolves time efficiently with BH (at least for corners).
 
By January 22nd, 2012, 7:42 PM :

-Be sub-20!
-Be sub-45 OH!
-Be sub-3:00 for 3BLD!
-Be sub-6 on 2x2!
-Have a sub-2:00 Average of 50 for 4x4!

This would be the one year anniversary (exactly) of when I first solved a Rubik's Cube.

March 10, 2012 at 3:12 PM :

Know full OLL
Know full CLL for 2x2
Know something better than OP for BLD corners
Know 2-pairing for 4x4
Be sub-40 OH

This would be the exact minute I turn 14. :P
 
Goals for Canadian Open:
2x2: Sub 5
3x3: Sub 15
OH: Sub 25
4x4: Sub 1:20
5x5: Sub 2:30
7x7: Sub 10:00
Megaminx: Sub 3:00
Pyraminx: Sub 9
Magic: Sub 2

A while back, but:
2x2: Sub 5 Got 2 +2s and a DNF... 6.70 average :(
3x3: Sub 15 15.08...
OH: Sub 25 22.97, but still a fail
4x4: Sub 1:20 1:17.xx, but still not sub-cutoff
5x5: Sub 2:30 2:14.xx, but still not sub-cutoff
7x7: Sub 10:00 YES :D
Megaminx: Sub 3:00 2:01.xx avg
Pyraminx: Sub 9 10.xx avg
Magic: Sub 2 3.31 :fp
 
Goals in order of priority :

1- Consistently sub-20 on 3x3. I only have one Sub-20 Ao12.
2- Learn full OLL and find better PLL algs
3- Convince my dad to buy me a LanLan 2x2 and Shengshou v3 4x4
4- Sub-6 Ao5 on 2x2 (I have crappy Rubik's brand that pops every solve)
5- Be around 2 minutes on 4x4 (don't have one yet)

Deadline : November 1st, 4 days before Indiana 2011.

Well, the deadline hasn't passed yet, but...

1 - No. Not consistent, although I would consider myself sub-22.
2 - Lol no, haven't even made an attempt to learn new PLLs, and I'm about 38/57 done with OLL, and not learning any more for a while.
3 - Done. :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
4 - Lol easy. PB Ao5 is 3.91 and Ao12 is 5.xy.
5 - I'd say yes. I definitely have more sup-2s than sub-2s but I'm in the 1:50-2:15 range. I think this was a good prediction of mine considering I hadn't even touched a 4x4 yet.

BTW, I am not going to Indiana 2011 anymore.
 
- learn all the CMLL algorithms
deadline = August 16
- sub-30 average
deadline = August 30
- sub-20 average
deadline = September 21

Completed!
Took me much longer to learn all the CMLL, I only just finished learning the last set...but I'm averaging around 18-19 seconds now.

I've also improved on blindfold solving, but not megaminx or one handed really.
My new goal is going to be to
sub-17 average by January 1.
sub-15 whenever I get there....
 
My goals, in semi-order

  • Sub-12 3x3 consistently whenever (preferably before 2012). My times keep fluctuating. I think I might average high 12-13 again. :(
  • Learn better CMLLs after my next competition. This should seriously help with my above goal. My CMLL times literally range from sub-0.5 seconds to 5 seconds. -.- Many of my sub-10s also incorporate KCLL, so knowing more CMLLs would be great. I'm thinking at least 2 different algorithms for each case.
  • At least sub-15 at my next competition (I *ALWAYS* screw up at comp >_>), with at least one sub-12 single. Getting a similar average as I do at home would be great, though (9-13; very inconsistent :P). I kind of dislike competitions, though, so this isn't very high priority.
  • Get sub-1:30 soon after I get my 4x4 (don't have one, but have played with others'; I seem to average ~1:40).
  • Get better at ELL, especially in 2-2 swaps and parity.
  • Sub-20 OH whenever. I never really practice and don't really care about the event. I average ~22, though, so I think I might as well make a goal for it (plus, it can help my 2H).
