This man beat our 4x4 goal of sub-30 average in competition, with a single of 24.5 and an average of 29.2

Yup! OLL parity on two of the counting 28’s, and on the counting 30, I had PLL parity, I did 5 F2L pairs, and I also did two PLL’s (did Tperm from wrong angle, then did Eperm lmao)

Super fun comp yesterday, with pretty good results!
I started off 3x3 round 1 with a pretty poor scramble. I think I even shook my head during inspection, but I was able to consistently lookahead through the solve since pair I planned was in the back left (which I've started doing a lot recently btw). Because of that, I was able to get a nice 6.74. A similar thing happened on the second solve, however I planned two pairs on this solve (which is also something I've worked on a lot haha). I locked up a ton on the Aperm at the end, but it was still a 6.83. However, I plus 2'ed this solve, so it turned into an 8.83. The next few solves were just super mid, with a 9.0, 7.6, and 7.9. This converted into an 8.14 average (7.44 without the plus 2). I didn't care too much though, and I was pretty happy with the fact that I was able to get a 7.4 average on a pretty bad scramble set (obviously not counting the plus 2). This proved to me how much I had improved since last comp, and I was able to get 0.1 away from my PR average on the first round of the year with a subpar scramble set.

After that round I did Clock, Skewb, and 5x5. I don't care about Clock and Skewb and I'm very washed at 5x5, so I don't really care about that. After lunch, it was time for 4x4 R1. Going into the round, I had a PR single of 27.72 and a PR average of 33.01. I global around 32 at home, so I was looking to improve my average, maybe 31 if I got lucky with the parties.
I started off with a 28.52 with OLL parity, which is insane to start off the year with. I then did the exact same thing on the second solve, and got a 28.48. At this point, I was already counting a solve almost 5 seconds faster than my PR average, and they both had OLL parity. I knew I could definitely get a 31 or even a 30 average here, and I was trying not to let the nerves affect me too much. I messed up the next solve and got a 35 (OLL parity again haha), but I was still on track for PR average. On solve 4, I messed up F2L by inserting a pair into the wrong slot, but I still got to PLL at around 25. I did PLL parity, and I think I was at Tperm sub 27. This should have been worst case a high 27 or a 28, but I messed up. Somehow I did the Tperm from the wrong angle, and I ended up with an Eperm. I had to go then do the Eperm, which I locked up on, and I ended up with a 30.81 (which is still good haha). I knew at this point that I had locked in a 31 average, and I was super happy about that. But I also knew that I had sub 30 BPA, which made me super nervous. I went into the last solve super shaky, but the Luke Griesser nerve control strats managed to clutch up, and I got a 24.53 PR single, giving me a 29.27 PR Average! The single is NR62, and the average is NR75. This also obliterates my previous world rank of 1026, bringing it all the way down to 289! I'm super happy all the practice paid off. I'm pretty sure the single is overall PB3, and the average is overall PB2, and stackmat PB.

After that, I had 3x3 round 2. I wasn't feeling too nervous, and on a mid scramble set I again got a 7.4 average. I corner-twisted out of a sub 7 average here lol (video coming soon), but it's fine, another 7.4 average is good lol. After this, I had 4x4 finals. Three solves were ok (30, 31, 33), but I messed up and counted a high 36. It's fine though, at least I got the good average in round 1!

3x3 finals was left after this. I again started off with a 6.4. I also got a 5.61 fullstep PR single, that honestly kind of sucked (OLL at 2.6, but I hesitated). I didn't really care since it's not that good for me. This did mean that I had a counting 6.45, which I think is my best ever counting solve. On solve 4, I locked up on an Rperm out of a mid 6, but it's fine. I threw the last solve super hard though. I had a really easy T ZB at mid 5, but for some reason I chose to do OLL/PLL instead. I locked up there, and ended up with a counting 8.6. It was still a 7.4 average though lmao, and I got third.

So yeah, I learned a lot this comp. I found out that I'm able to consistently get low-mid 7 averages every round on mediocre scramble sets, which is cool. Another thing I noticed is that I started off the averages really well, (with 6's every round), but I ended off with high 7's/8's. I need to focus more on clutching up on my last solve, but overall still happy with how 3x3 went, and obviously over the moon about 4x4. Huge thanks to Luke Griesser for helping me throughout the day with nerve control/other stuff, don't think I could have done this well without his coaching.

Next comp is in a week. I'm feeling really confident now knowing how close I am to sub 7 every time, and 7.3 doesn't even feel like a barrier anymore after three consecutive 7.4 averages. Hopefully sub 7 average there!

Was popping off today! I was globably averaging around 30, with a lot of sub 30 averages. I thought 29.27 official average was a fluke... but was it really?

Fun comp!
I started off 3x3 round 1 with a 6.7, which is good. I then messed up an easy scramble (inserted a flipped edge lol), and got an 8.8. I did something similar on solve 3. Solve 4 was pretty clean, a 6.5. Messed up an easy scramble on the last solve though, and ended with an 8.13 average (third in the round).
After this I had 4x4. I started off with a 50 (lol), because I messed up centers somehow. I then did this again and got a counting 39. I managed to somewhat bring it back with a 32, 30, and 29 (double parity on the 29 btw, and I messed up ZBLL as well). This got me a 34 average, which is pretty bad but considering the fact that I counted a 39, I'll take it.
Pyraminx after this (I don't care). I got a 4.90 PR single, so cool ig.
After pyra was OH. I decided to use full ZBLS in OH (despite not using it for normal 3x3, and not knowing full ZBLL). I had some trouble executing some of the algs OH, but it went alright, and I got a PR2 single. After this was 2x2, which I threw magnificently.
Did alright in 3x3 R2, with a 7.6 average (ft. my trademark counting 8). Got second in the round which is okay.
After this was 3x3 finals. I mainly just wanted to win, or get a sub 7 average. On the first solve I got a 6.17, and on the second solve I got a 6.28. This is my fastest ever counting solve, and it made me pretty nervous.
I messed up cross on solve 3 and got an 8.89, and messed up again on solve 4 and got an 11. I was really bummed that I was counting a 6.2 and an 8.9 in the same average, but I tried not to think about it going into solve 5. I reached PLL pretty early and was on pace for another 6, but locked up a bit and got a 7.30. This resulted in a 7.49 average, which still won me the comp.
Happy overall with the win, next comp is in two weeks.

Crazy scram, crazy solution! How fast can you downsolve that? Kind of an unfortunate PLL to get on such a lucky solve.

I’ll talk about the comp later (it was interesting)

Done with over half of ZBLL now (haven’t actually done the math but my estimate is ~55%) TUL is done, along with half of H (I love H btw). Finishing up H in the next two or three days, and then I’ll do Pi. I’ll be done with ZB for now then, and I’ll try to make the switch officially around April. I’ll learn Sune and Anti-Sune after Worlds.

I got lazy so I didn't end up starting Pi until today. Boo me (it's fine it'll just take like 4 days longer than expected)

Pretty wild results at this comp. The setup on my cube went bad the morning of the comp for some reason, and the cube was feeling wayyy too tight. This resulted in lockups all over the place in the first round, and I got a 10.34 average (💀💀💀). This was my worst official average in about a year, and it was also my first round with no sub 8 single in ages. The 15 on solve 3 is my worst official solve since 2023 iirc.
I was aware about the problem with my v10 going into the second round, so I decided to switch to my backup v10 for the second round. However, that cube had a similar problem; clearly the experimental setup I had tried a few days ago was not viable with comp nerves. I ended up just going incredibly safe to get a 8.69 average, just to make finals.
In finals, I switched to @Bababooey6969's v5 (🙏), and got a 7.36 PR2 average. It probably should have been PR (7.06 average without the last layer fail on solve 4), but thats fine.
4x4 round 1 was bad, but I hadn't practiced so I didn't care tbh. I got a nice 31.58 average in finals though, which got me 3rd (the podium streak continues).
I got a nice 16.31 PR average in OH round 1, then I forgot to compete in finals. 2x2 was interesting, I got a 5 average somehow.
Squan was squan.

2 comps next week. Sub 7 🙏

My cube reigns supreme fr.
That comp was interesting.
I finally made the second round which resulted in no nerves since I did not have to worry about making finals.
Every solve was better than my entire first-round average.

Good average, but PB2 fail. I messed up the ZBLL pretty badly on solve 2, and it probably should've been the best solve, resulting in a 5.51 average. Sub 6 is still solid though!

6.86 ao100 as well (I counted all penalties :))
