Broke my Ao12 PB by 0.03 Good enough to update signature

Every little helps.... it's still a PB.

I just knocked another 0.5s off my OH Ao12 (40.10s). The session was 42.96 (Ao50) but it was my first OH session in 5 days so a decent result overall.

I've not really done other cube sizes or 3x3 methods in the last few weeks and I'm about to get busy with windsurfing competitions, etc.

To avoid spreading myself too thinly, I'm going to limit myself to regular 3x3 and OH for Apr, May, Jun.

Should you be interested here is my progression for OH Ao12. The x-axis is the total number of timed solves.

Do you fancy joining in the fun Marcel? If you're like me then the first 200 solves will be a massive improvement.

I might just do that. I have not done OH since a competition in 2014

If you want to learn any OH algs then Antoine Cantin is a good source:

I originally used my two-handed algs for 2-look OLL but I subsequently switched to rRU alternatives.

It won't be long until you're bored of using A-Perm for 2-look PLL and feel the need to learn some PLLs. haha

 

[Gordon]

Nice! I'm about two seconds off haha. Haven't improved much on 3x3 lately.

IKR, I love this thread.

Also, I have a comp this weekend wish me luck

Good luck!

I have also one. Today was 13x13. It rook me zwo hours and fortyfive minutes to solve this beast. It's really havy and big.
Tomorrow it will be 2x2 - 5x5. Let's see....

 

[moralsh]

Next solve will be sub 150 minutes if you ever find the will to do time it again. Big cubes are a lot of fun, I've been practicing 7x and have almost halved my Times in less tan 2 weeks (21 to 12 minutes)

If love to have a 13x, but I can't justify to myself spending so much in a single cube... Yet

Zwo.. LOL.. Still pretty fast! Good luck tomorrow.

You could start with the sweet deal on 11X11 http://speedcubeshop.com/clearance/yuxin-11x11x11

Don't. Tempt. me. [emoji13]

Thanks! 2:45 actually seems really fast to me considering it's 860 pieces and takes forever to find each piece. Hopefully your wrists and fingers aren't too worn out. Good luck in your other events tomorrow!

Here are the results from my comp: http://cubecomps.com/live.php?cid=878&compid=77

I am pretty happy with all my times except for the second 3x3 round which just had a lot of mistakes. I met some pretty cool cubers, Kennen Lejeune got an 8.25 3x3 average and then 1.89 average for 2x2. Kevin Hays didn't break his WR unfortunately, but he still got a 1:55 something average on 6x6. I also met Chris Olson and he was very nice, and a lot of other people.

I would kill for these 3X3 times GJ!

You could have written this for me: http://m.cubecomps.com/competitions/803/competitors/57

What bothers me most is that my best 3x3 time is the one where the timer didnt stop on the first try. It would have been a single PB...

Thanks! Don't kill me though haha.

Good job! Yeah DNFs are killers. Congrats on your 2x2 and 4x4 PBs. Also, you need to update your signature for 4x4 haha.

 

[Gordon]

Well, my signature is probably quite old. I just can't see it on my mobile phone. I'll take a look when i start practicing again.


With my 2x2 times I'm very happy. I didn't practise 2x2 since last september or so, so they are really unexpected. 4x4 is also very nice and 5x5 as usual.


I think I'm just not used to cube that much anymore. Probably that's the cause of the 2nd round times. And probably the 13 x13...

Very nice 2X2 times! I am always too nervous to get decent 2X2 times on a competition. And the 3:18 on 5X5 is pretty sweet too Your 4X4 times are roughly the same as mine

 

[Gordon]

I did the 3:18 on my last comp. This time i had a 3:41 I think, which is also nice. It would be cool to have an average in 5x5 though...

Nice one Marcel. Good to see you continuing to improve

Awesome Marcel!

Hey Mark, long time no see. How is your cubing these days? My times are improving a bit even though I am not practicing every day. I do most of my cubing only in weekends now.

Awesome Marcel!

Thanks
