OK so I decided to do a little 3BLD again, but now with my GAN 356 XS instead of the RS3M 2020 and I got a 20.27 PB mo3. I'm definitely rubbing the logo off that GAN and switching 3BLD mains.

Any idea why you performed on the GAN better?

Yeah the slice moves (M, E, S) are a lot better on the GAN than on the RS3M. The only reason I didn't use the GAN for 3BLD already is that there is a logo on it, which is not legal, so I'll have to rub that off.

Ah okay, that makes sense. I have a GAN cube (356 iCarry), the M slices are quite nice, but I find E and S slices to be nearly impossible to do. Perhaps it’s just the way I fingertrick it though.

I have the Gan Duo, I dont like it. I bought it used at a comp, and yeah, it feels like it has way too strong magnets, or old lube or something. M slices are literally really hard to do. And I forgot to get the adjustment tool, so I dont know how to adjust it lol.
But, to keep it on topic, good job with the 3blnd!! Super impressive

19.42 3BLD single on 10 algs, nice. That might be my first sub 20 on 10 algs!

Got a LL skip once again

This was immediately after a PLL skip, nicely improbable

Are u sure you wrote the solution right? It didn’t work for me

Thanks, I think it's fixed now!

Quick question: I’m sorry if you’ve already mentioned this elsewhere, but how long have you been cubing for?

I've known how to solve a cube for idk how many years but I only started taking speed seriously since the beginning of 2020

Nice!

hi

Nice! What did you average when you started, and what do you average now? Thought it'd be cool to see how far you've come!

I'm not exactly sure, partially because I used handscrambles and I was the type of guy to make intentionally short scrambles, but it must have been a little over 30 seconds. I used beginners method, but without knowing OLL and PLL existed I had already made up a bunch of algs for that so that helped although the algs were trash and I switched every single one now
Currently I am sub 9 at 3x3

How long did it take you to get sub-10?

that's insane!

How long have you cubed for?

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

How long did it take you to get sub-10?

I was looking through my screenshots and on the 2nd of october 2021 my ao1000 was 9.98, so a little less than 2 years if you start counting from when I actually started practicing
Kinda sad that I have only improved 1 second since then (maybe a little more, I'm getting more and more 8.5 averages)

 

[SpedCube]

How long have you cubed for?

Since November last year
Edit: I averaged about 50-1:00 then
