What goals do you have all have each puzzle you speedsolve? Whether it is a goal by the end of the year, or by your next competition, post here.
Goals
- Thread starter pjk
- Start date
Ideally, a month from now I'll be averaging sub-20. I'd also like to get sub-3 BLD by then for the 3x3. For the 4x4, I'd like to get decent times (such as averaging, say, sub-150); same with the 5x5. I'd also like to get down to sub 1.4 or so on the Magic (even though it's broken right now <_< ) Oh yes, and learning all OLL is definitely a goal of mine.

3x3:
- sub-30 avg by US Open (very close)
- learn Roux over the summer
- BLD: 50% success rate by next September/school year (begin learning over summer)
- sub-20 by end of the year
4x4:
- 100s avg by US Open (sub-120 avg done)
- sub-90 solve by/at US Open (one solve about 10 seconds faster than PB)
5x5:
- sub-160 avg by US Open (on a good day after warming up, I can get really close)
- sub-135 solve by/at US Open (PB is currently 2:17.89, only two more seconds)
- learn the last last two edge case
- sub-30 avg by US Open (very close)
- learn Roux over the summer
- BLD: 50% success rate by next September/school year (begin learning over summer)
- sub-20 by end of the year
4x4:
- 100s avg by US Open (sub-120 avg done)
- sub-90 solve by/at US Open (one solve about 10 seconds faster than PB)
5x5:
- sub-160 avg by US Open (on a good day after warming up, I can get really close)
- sub-135 solve by/at US Open (PB is currently 2:17.89, only two more seconds)
- learn the last last two edge case
These are my goals by the US Open... although not sure if I will be able to perform this well if I am nervous, but I want to be able to at least avg these at home easily:
3x3: 16.xx avg (I avg 17.xx-18.xx right now)
3x3 OH: 50 sec avg (don't plan on practicing too much)
3x3 BLD: 3:30 avg (to make the cut for US Open
)
4x4: 75 sec avg (I avg 80 sec now)
5x5: 3:30 avg (sadly, wont make the cut with these times)
2x2: sub-10 sec avg (should be pretty easy)
Well, there you go. I have a lot of practicing to do. Good luck to you guys.
3x3: 16.xx avg (I avg 17.xx-18.xx right now)
3x3 OH: 50 sec avg (don't plan on practicing too much)
3x3 BLD: 3:30 avg (to make the cut for US Open
)4x4: 75 sec avg (I avg 80 sec now)
5x5: 3:30 avg (sadly, wont make the cut with these times)
2x2: sub-10 sec avg (should be pretty easy)
Well, there you go. I have a lot of practicing to do. Good luck to you guys.

Get a sub 1-minute average for the 3x3x3.
Other than that, nothing else, except maybe solving the 5x5x5 in less than 10 minutes. Haha. (I'm slow -_-)

3x3x3:
-Learn all of ZBF2L by the end of summer (currently know 214/306 cases)
-Be able to average sub 13 using ZBF2L + COLL/PLL
-Be able to consistently average 25 OH. I used to be able to do this but I haven't been practicing OH at all for the past few months
4x4x4:
-Sub 70 average, sub 60 single solve. My current average is about 1:18.xx, and my best single solve is 1:02.30
-Be able to solve 4x4x4 blindfolded. I think I will have to be taught in person for this, though. I've read some tutorials, and I still have a lot of questions
5x5x5:
-This puzzle has never really intrigued me that much, but I'd still like to be somewhat fast with it. My times are 5-6 minutes right now. I'd like to average somewhere around 3 minutes
Square-1:
-Learn a more efficient method and be able to average sub 30. This puzzle has always fascinated me, and I used to be able to average about 50 seconds on it, but I haven't solved it in at least 6 months. I still would like to get fast at it though
My goals for the US Open:
3x3x3: Sub 14 average
3x3x3 OH: Sub 25 average (this probably won't happen though)
3x3x3 BLD: Sub 4
4x4x4: Sub 80 average
I also want to know at least 75% of ZBF2L by the US Open, but this should be easily attainable. I only need 16 more cases to reach this point.

hmm haven't thought much of summer cubing goals
well sub-20 by summer's end that can't be too hard mini-ZB
sub 1min-50 on the 4x4
5x5 ...bleh no goals for that right now.
sub-5 mins for 3x3 BLD
and get my magics working again (haven't had enough strings since February)
yea that should do it.

Sub-20 average on the 3x3.
Which has a subgoal of learning all the OLL + PLL.
Sub-4 BLD 3x3. I've only really done a few proper attempts, so this I just need more practice.
Speed BLD 3x3. I've never done a full attempt.

I think you mean at least one sub-60 solve
I think you should add one extra goal and if you achieve that, than all other time-related ones will also be achieved: "Don't be nervous/stressed/shaking during a competition"

Don't be nervous/stressed/shaking during a competition is definitely one I will have to think about, and try prepare for!
I have diabetes and for some reason when I get nervous/anxious I get Low which causes me to shake and not think properly. Thats going to be a bit of an issue. Especially for something like BLD.

2=Successful sub 5 using cycles or Pochmann, 3/3 in multiple, successful 4x4x4
3=Successful sub 4 on average, 4/4 in multiple, successful 5x5x5

my 3x3x3 goals are to get:
-sub 30 on avg within the next month.
-also to finish my OLLs.. I only miss 4!! ("checkers", one "odd case" and its mirror and one "line"), so this is gonna be fast archived
-cross avg 2-3 sec
MAIN goal: sub 15 F2L
oh, and I got vacation for 7 weeks in three weeks from now.. from then, its gonna be 100% cubing, all day everyday! so if I dont reach some of my goals till then, then I'll have plenty of time afterwards..
magic: sub 2 sec on avg. (best is 2.08 now)
4x4x4: sub 2 min (this is gonna be hard, but would be nice to achive)
5x5x5: sub 3 min maybe.. or just to get better (got like 5 min now)
OH 3x3x3: to get sub 40 on average
AND to learn BLD!!!
