Improvement in a year

[KingCanyon]

I thought that this would be an interesting thread to make. What’s the most you’ve improved in a particular event in a year and what changes allowed you to improve? For me personally, it was in 3x3 in 2018 when I went from averaging about 32 seconds to nearing sub 18. Also in 2019, I’ve gone from nearing sub 18 to mid 14’s already. The changes I used were getting better hardware and practicing more.

Mine was from February 2018 to February 2019. I went from not knowing how to solve a cube at all to averaging about 50 seconds. This is because I went from using a Rubik's brand to a GAN 356 Air. If you mean improvement during my cubing career, it was from November 2018 to now. Last year I averaged about 15 seconds on 2x2, and now I average about 6. That was because I learned Ortega.

If you count when I first learned to solve a cube, I went from 7 minutes to 25 seconds . Otherwise I haven’t been cubing for a year.

i had 2 comps almost excactly a year apart, and the first average was a 39 and the next was a 10.4

I was stuck @ 35+ seconds last year with LBL, I'm now sub 20 with ZZ.

Known how to solve a cube since grade 1. In grade 7 now. Only just got into competitive speedcubing just recently. I was averaging 50 seconds half a year ago, now I'm getting around 20 seconds
