Nevan J's Road to Square-1 NR (achieved, 03/22/2025)

ok so just a quick update on what are my further plans

for square-1, ever since i've got to know about cube-o-rama, i have been a bit more motivated to actually learn all the angles for full cubeshape, so i guess that's the grind to squan nr again
for 2x2, i have been motivated to practice it again, so yea i really want to average sub-3 global
for 3x3, its just practice
for other events: for OH, i do practice it once in a while. for BLD i only do it in the SS weekly comp, and for 4x4, i'll probably start practicing it again

I think i got this avg 1 solve before, then did another solve and the avg stayed same but the new solve was still the worst solve so ig thats y the avg stayed same lol idk
 
another quick update, i have a bunch of things to tell

first off, i bought the weilong pyra M (not maglev) from cubezz, and its pretty nice, but I average trash on pyra, so I really want to avg like around 5 or sub 5, so i'm learning l4e
next, I have a comp coming in july, which is kinda nice as I didnt have any comps this month, previous month and actually the next month as well so i'll have a lot of time to practice for it. It has 2x2, 3x3, OH, 4x4, 3BLD and pyra, so i'll be able to compete in all events for the first time I think. and that's why i won't really be practicing squan that much. It isn't that I'm not interested in it anymore, but comps are the main motivation for practicing most events atleast for me.

now for individual puzzles-
for 3x3, i recently got a bunch of motivation when i broke my pb avg of 5 and some others i think, but I think i'll mainly be prioritising 2x2 and pyra mostly because of the comp. as for OH, I also started getting really good times recently, so i'll keep practicing OH and 3x3 so i dont lose skill. also i'm learning how to plan 1st pair for 3x3 (i hope to become sub-10 pls pls pls). lastly i've also been practing 3BLD so let's see how much I improve in it the coming month
