probably

Yo is Gan12 MagLev going to become your new main?

idk, ill have to use it a bit first. I tried one at a comp though, it was really good

 

[gsingh]

In my personal opinion, I think the UV one is better than the Frosted version. I really don't know why, but UV turning just feels softer than the frosted for some reason.

do you have one?

ben baron got a sub 3 on this and it is the most insane scramble ever. white cross solvers hold white on the front while scrambling

currently averaging high 7, like 7.6-7.8. i got sub 8 pretty quick but i think sub 7 will be much harder. i estimate 3-4 months at least. i will have a lot of practice time during the summer though, and i want to focus on 3-4 and oh.
goal is to get sub-7 3x3, sub 30 4x4, and sub-15 oh by september

gan 12 is instant main. i just love it

you should have more realistic ideas of how fast people improve if you want to effectively fake

Take a look at the WR for each second barrier and report back how long it took to break them, each gap from second to second.

are you really going to start this again? i admitted to faking my 5x5 times but im not faking my 3x3 or anything else
the world record average dropped pretty fast when it was at the 7-9 second range

Just saying, dropping from 8.4 to 7.7 in a week is borderline impossible

not really. a lot of people have improved at speeds never thought possible before
i believe what made the difference was learning to plan the first pair in inspection. that got rid of like the 0.5 second pause after cross

Eh, you are right. Feliks did break the second barriers easily within months. But @PiKeeper is right: when you are faster, it is harder to improve. I am not calling cap, but it doesn't seem possible. Maybe you are just in the zone.
Either way, fake or not, you do improve a lot, so congrats to that.

i can't even go from 18 to 17 in a week

how often do you practice, and for how long? 18-17 in a week should be really easy. me and my friend both got that in less then 2 days. to be fair though, we both cubed all day

How did you get sub 9 without cross+1?
Also, how did you become great at it in a week?
And why don't your comp time match your irl solves?
Could you give us an ao12 just to clear this up?
