Journey To Becoming The Fastest Anthony In OH (Grinding for SRs)

[randomness...]

epic!

 

[AJT17]

2x2 Finals, I got a new personal record average, but no new single.

5x5 Finals, I got an amazing average, and an overall personal best by over 10 seconds!

OH Finals, I got an amazing sub 28 single, 2 actually, and I also got a sub 30 average, which I was hoping to get.

3x3 First Round, I got an amazing 10 second solve, but I didn't get a good video angle of it.

3x3 Second Round, I got another 10, and a sub 13 average!

Pyraminx, I somehow got a new PR average and single, I don't really care about pyraminx though.

4x4 Finals, I got a new PR average and single, which I am happy to have gotten.

Overall I am very happy with my performance at this comp, and I was most surprised by 5x5, I was really not expecting to break all of my home records at comp.

First round and I got a 13 average, and a 10 single, I am really happy with the results I have so far.

Wow, that's a lot of PRs in the same comp! I'd suppose most of them are first timers?

No, I have been to 5 comps now, but it had been half a year since my last one, because of not wanting to travel during the winter. 5x5 was the only new event I competed in this time.

oml i thought you avged 28 in 5x5 someone check my eyes

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough (and thought the image I was replaying to would be visible as well). I didn't mean a lot of PRs from you in the same comp (but that was, indeed, quite a lot, so congrats!), but I was rather talking about 3x3x3 round where virtually everyone (at least those in the image you shared) got a PR, and that's what my hipothesis was about

Ah, that makes more sense. That was a lot of people that got a new PR, I think the scrambles were really good that round.

 

[AJT17]

I just completed my 20,000 solve. I can say that I am a sub 14 cuber at this point, and sometimes I am even down to sub 13.
I have done 10,000 solves just in the new year alone, so I am hopeful that I can get to 50,000 solves before I graduate from high school.
Maybe before this school year ends I can get a 7 second solve too.

I just got 3 F perms in a row, how unlucky

I have learned 47 OLL's so far. Now I only need most dot cases and all awkward shape cases.
Also I got a 0.56 Sune time, which is my fastest OLL I have timed.

I got a new PB ao5 on 2x2. I got really lucky and got a lot of skips

I just got four 9 second solves, one of them was only .004 away from an 8 second solve, I am really happy to have gotten this many 9's in one day, and recorded too. I'm gonna post a video with those solves probably tomorrow.

I just looked at how many 6x6 solves I have, which is only 11, and it is only half as many solves as I have on 10x10. I also have 52 7x7 solves, I really do not like 6x6.

 

[AJT17]

I just got a center twist during one of my solves. It perplexed me for a couple seconds because it wouldn't really turn and I didn't know why, then I looked at the center and it was at a 45 degree angle.

happens to me all the time in 4x4

I just got a new PB, it was so close to sub 8, but I am still happy for a new PB.

I was able to down solve this time to a 6.239, but I didn't do it for long, so I can definitely get a sub 6 with it.

 

[AJT17]

I am thinking of switching U perms and I currently know the MU ones, but I do not know which algorithms I should use, any recommendations?

 

[AJT17]

I just broke a lot of my PB's
I also got a really good mean of 3, it was super consistent. best: 10.434 (σ = 0.03)
