[Malaysian NR] Amos Tay 12.90 3x3x3 avg

[amostay2004]

Final solve was a J perm with the bar facing me and I reaalllly thought for a second it was PLL skip =p
Great average! Got me a 2nd placing behind the almighty Piti Pichedpan..

Also the Malaysian NR =D

Cube: Type A-V (modded)

You still got a sub-13 solve with that cube-drop. Awesome average.

 

[blah]

I hate how people who only use their right hands are faster than I.

 

[amostay2004]

Yea..anyway I can't help but think it could've been a low-11s
anyway I got a PLL skip so who am I to complain huh

Edit: @blah - I do use my left hand, just not that much..heh. I do left handed sune and one of the G perms, but still getting used to the G perm though.

Also, a 1:39.18 official BLD

Description:
Aimed for sub-1:40 and got it =) Also won me first place! =D Could've went faster on execution but oh well, I'm satisfied

 

[oskarasbrink]

you didn't use your left hand at all except for U' but anyway good job

Cube: Type A-V (modded)

How? Mine's coming in the mail, and cubes=life said it locks up alot, unless you use type c springs, which I don't have. What mod did you do?

Yea, I noticed that too after re-watching the vid It's probably because I'm not confident with using my left hand and was too nervous then that I did so many cube rotations. I admit I'm more right hand dominant at home but I'm using more of my left hand now

Cube: Type A-V (modded)

Mine locks up a lot too when I first got it, and wasn't fast enough for me. My friend showed me how the Chinese modded their A5 corners and I did it. It locks up less and cuts corners better so I definitely recommend it. All you need is a knife/blade to smoothen out the 'edges and corner' of the corner. I don't know how to explain this without a video :rolleyes:

Then it still wasn't smooth enough for me until my friend also told me to remove the smaller washers and it really made a huge difference. It made the cube turn faster but also less stable and locks up a little more. But I broke my average of 100 PB by far after this so I'm gonna stick with it this way.

Please tell me it was sub 13

13.01 I think. Serious. But he'll sub-12.5 by the time he goes to UK, I know it.

 

[amostay2004]

Argh..thinking back about that average of 100. I was like 12.7x average at 90 solves...and the last 10 solves had 3 friggin pops..and ended with a 13.06.

Is that sub-13 enough?
