Kivvi’s progression thread // I want to do more events

[Kivvi]

I just noticed that I should make a progression thread, so here it is:

PB’s:
2x2: 3.066 single, 4.921 ao5
3x3:10.17 single, 12.01 ao5
4x4: 1:11.4 single, (no clue what my best ao5 is)
Pyra: 4.575 single, 8.565 ao5
Skewb: 1.90 single, 3.98 ao5
Clock: 18.707 single, 22.707 ao5
3bld: 3:18 single, idk ao5


Events I actually practice: 3x3, Skewb, Clock, 3bld

Current goals:

• Reach sub 1 minute in 3bld (this is going to take a while)
• Get sub 15 on 3x3
• Get sub 10 on clock (this will also take a while)
• Get sub 5 on Skewb
• That’s it

 

[Puzzle Maniac]

what do you average, roughly, in those events?

 

[CubeLite]

• Get sub 10 on clock (this will also take a while)

It's really easy, you can do it in a couple of weeks

• Get sub 5 on Skewb

I can help you if you need

 

[Kivvi]

what do you average, roughly, in those events?

In 3x3 I average around 17-18 seconds, I usually get 8-7 second Skewb times, at clock it’s about 20 seconds (I got my clock like a week ago), and for 3bld it’s around 5 minutes

I can help you if you need

Help would be very much appreciated, thanks for the offer

Comp is tomorrow, feeling pretty good about it considering I got a skewb average pb (5.049) yesterday and some new cubes (Weilong v10, Gan skewb enhanced and a random pyra from moyu that I don’t remember the name of).

 

[Kivvi]

Just got a 3x3 pb (10.77) during warm-up, and an OH Pb (23.idk). My previous oh Pb was 31.45, which is a 8 second difference! I think this is my best week of speedcubing Progress so far

 

[Kivvi]

Got a 1.77 skewb pb, which is below the austrian single NR (1.85)! The solve was very lucky, a 5 move first side which solved the entire skewb, but I am still very proud of it =)

 

[CubeLite]

Got a 1.77 skewb pb, which is below the austrian single NR (1.85)! The solve was very lucky, a 5 move first side which solved the entire skewb, but I am still very proud of it =)

Wait, so what was the solution? Was it a 5 mover?

 

[Kivvi]

Wait, so what was the solution? Was it a 5 mover?

Well, yes

 

[CubeLite]

Well, yes

Then I'm sorry to break it to you, but the minimum moves on a skewb is 7, so that isn't a legit scramble

 

[Kivvi]

Thanks for telling me, I'll check if it actually was a 5-mover later when I come home, and if it is, I'm finally switching to cstimer

Edit: I’m switching to cstimer

 

[Kivvi]

I just messed up a scramble that could have been my first sub-10
Scramble: B' R2 B' R2 B' U2 F R2 B U' B D R2 D F2 L2 F2
Setup: z2 y’
Cross:R2 D R2 D'
Pair 1: U' L' U2 L U' L' U L
Pair 2: U R U R' L U' L'
Pair 3: R U' R'
Pair 4: U' R' U' R U2' R' U R
Oll skip: U2
Pll (Ua-perm): R U R' U R' U' R2 U' R' U R' U R U'
Could have been an 8, but my fingers decided to perform the worst Ua-perm ever instead, and I got a 15 second time =( =(

I will have some more time for cubing in the next couple of weeks, that‘s why I am doing this little poll to decide what new events I‘ll pick up in this time. My main events right now are 3x3, 3BLD and Skewb, I have also got every cube I put on the poll except for 5x5 and Squan.

Some infos about me:

• I like learning algorithms
• I‘m interested in learning longer events (like mega, 4x4, 5x5)
• I am also enjoying side events (like Skewb)

I will probably do the two events with the most votes + one event of my choice. With all of that being said, happy voting!

 

[Kivvi]

Finally got a sub 2 Skewb single again, and this time it‘s legit scram.

Spoiler: Times

generiert durch csTimer am 16.04.2025
Single: 1.90

Zeitenliste:
1. 1.90 U' L R' U' L' U' L R' L

This is my first one look Skewb solve too, I‘m really happy I got this time.

Also if you guys could please do the funny voting thing for the events I should practice next, that would be very cool

 

[Kivvi]

I forgot to mention, but I recently got a 3.94 second Skewb average pb! That‘s 0.34 off of the NR here, and I hope I‘ll manage to improve my times past that too.

And yeah, the Austrian Skewb NRs are not really the fastest (1.83 and 3.60ao5), but I‘m looking to change that =)

Also, I will be closing the poll on what I‘ll practice in the next few days, so this is the last chance to Vote!

I finally got a sub 5 Skewb ao100! I mostly used Sarah’s intermediate, but also a few of the easier and fast Sarah’s advanced cases like peanut butter + Xperm.
Ao100: 4.99
Best time: 1.85
Worst time: 7.53

Edit: I just realized that my iPad autocorrected “peanut” to “peanut butter”, decided to leave it in because it’s funny
