Hi , Belgian noob BenVdd reporting for duty!

[BenVdd]

just did 12 timed roux. results :
stats: (hide)
number of times: 12/12
best time: 45.13
worst time: 1:17.38

current avg5: 56.51 (σ = 4.65)
best avg5: 53.28 (σ = 0.09)

current avg12: 1:01.03 (σ = 9.14)
best avg12: 1:01.03 (σ = 9.14)

session avg: 1:01.03 (σ = 9.14)
session mean: 1:01.07

times :
50.07, 1:17.01, 1:17.38, 54.89, 1:12.72, 1:01.69, 53.39, 53.17, 45.13, 53.28, 1:11.04, 1:03.09


blockbuilding goes slow and unefficient; same for orienting last 8 edges (I never really watched a tutorial for it yet, just do some M U **** untill i get the arrow )

Very nice averages! I do it just like that. Except I have learned a few OLL's that I reconise in that stage Like M U M' U2 M U M'

 

[BenVdd]

did a "First 2 blocks" Average of 12 just now.
best time: 21.40
worst time: 31.24

current avg5: 26.85 (σ = 0.40)
best avg5: 25.03 (σ = 2.47)

current avg12: 26.47 (σ = 2.67)
best avg12: 26.47 (σ = 2.67)

 

[MarcelP]

I'll try to do also an Ao12 of Blocks only tonight.. It is a lot faster to do a F2L solve and unscramble the M slice..

 

[BenVdd]

yeah , but that feels like cheating I like the blockbuilding to be honest. Feels good when you do an efficient first block (i suck at second block tho)

 

[MarcelP]

Here is my Ao12 of 'blocks only'
Best average of 12: 28.93
35.12 24.90 28.90 27.94 (47.96) 27.43 32.01 33.41 (16.17) 29.16 26.10 24.31

I am pretty pleased with that. I think the rest of the solves took even more than the blocks.

You guys should do F2B on the Substep Competition.

And lol on doing F2L and then unscrambling M slice.

Good idea! I will do that one as well.

I havent been practicing enough lately, but my cubesmith stickers arrived yesterday so I put them on and came close to beating my Ao12 PB just now (had a 26.89).

Edit : A couple more sub 25 ao12s and i'll declare myself to be sub25

 

[MarcelP]

Cool! Sub 25 sounds to grown-up.. LOL I wish I was that fast..:tu

 

[BenVdd]

I am still green of envi of your singles PB. People who are around my average have these amazing singles PB and i only had 2 19.xx solves

 

[MarcelP]

I guess you should practice more to get more lucky scrambles.. LOL.. You need lucky scrambles to get fast singles. That´s why they are singles.

 

[BenVdd]

even with lucky scrambles i can't sub 20 ^^

 

[lcsbiffi]

even with lucky scrambles i can't sub 20 ^^

I thought the same until my 15.xx came up lol keep solving it and they will come up eventually

 

[BenVdd]

did another ao50.

only good thing that came from it was that i broke my PB with 0.01s (lol)
Scramble :
1. 19.86 L2 U L2 B' R' U2 F2 D F' D' F' U R' U' B' R D2 U2 L' U D' L D2 B2 U2

 

[MarcelP]

Nice scramble.. Easy cross.. Messed the rest up though.. I had a 27.04 on that one.

Btw, what was you Ao50?
