How long did it take you to get fast?

[Gage4c]

I've been cubing for exactly 2 months today with a nonlucky pb of 13.24. Do you think I could be the next Feliks?

we'll see where you are at 6 months, if you average 13 then, maybe.

2 months and I'm sub 27 with CFOP and my PB is 22.38

I'm 42 and I have a 32 second average and a 20 second single after about 7 months.

That's kind of where I'd like to be in that time frame.

Did you do anything special, or just solve a lot?

OK, after 3 months and 3 weeks my ao12 is about 35 seconds, and I have a non-lucky single of 23, and a lucky single of 20.

For practise, I tend to just solve over and over as you don't have to think about it. However the times when I have improved the most have been when I do more targeted practise, which unfortunately is not very often.

2 years and I'm almost sub 12

 

[Gage4c]

I average around 18 now

 

[King Mike]

4 months with a PB of 15.96 and an avg of 24

How did you get so fast so quickly??? I need to learn from you, lol

 

[Suzuha]

I've been cubing four months now. I'm like sub 22 with a PB of 13.60 and ao5 PB of 18.63.

 

[natezach728]

3.5 Years, sub 10 with a PB single of 5.21 and an avg5 of 8.41.

 

[CubeCow]

Uhg. 2 months and non luck pb of 42. Why are others so much better than me :|

 

[Petro Leum]

1 month for sub20 single, 1 year for sub 10 single, 3 years in total now and im scratching at the sub10 averages (though 3x3 isnt my main event anymore)

 

[theROUXbiksCube]

7 1/2 months using Roux and I'm hovering at a high (really high) 12s - low 13s
pb single of 7.8 full step
I also have maybe 4 other sub 10 or so

I'm starting to feel the same way....
I thought I was a very quick learner, guess not.

 

[jamessorsona]

1 year using CFOP. PB: 13.90s I average around 18s. My problem was I used beginner's method for a very long time and didn't learn good algs from the start so I ended up adjusting agein. lol

 

[Ryp]

My gosh, either people ITT are e-statting or I'm just not very good. 3.5 months and I'm averaging 34 seconds with a PB of 24 seconds.

People just improve at different rates, it's a bad idea to compare yourself to other cubers especially this early into your cubing career.

 

[pyr14]

I've been cubing for nearly two years now, I guess I can say that I'm sub 25 now. only was sub 25 a few months ago. i was stuck on the sub 25-30 part for so long. but going for sub 35 was like easy.

Uhg. 2 months and non luck pb of 42. Why are others so much better than me :|

1. People are different.
2. Some people have more time to put into it than others.
3. Some people train in a more focussed way.

If you are just straight solving you will not improve as fast as someone who is targeting their weak areas systematically.

When I just solve I get faster pretty slowly. When I train specific parts of my solve, I get faster faster.

I wouldn't sweat it. As long as you are improving, you are moving in the right direction.

My gosh, either people ITT are e-statting or I'm just not very good. 3.5 months and I'm averaging 34 seconds with a PB of 24 seconds.

I'm about the same as you. 3 months and 3 weeks cubing. ao12 is just under 35 seconds, PB of 20, non-lucky PB is 23.67.

I've seen some people on these type of threads who say they took over a year or whatever to get sub-20, but now they are sub-15.

I think if you keep at it you will get faster.

 

[Estimax]

I have been cubing for about 2 years with a 6-7 month hiatus in between. After getting back into it 3 weeks ago, i am averaging high 14 seconds or low 15.
