Yeah I don't like the feel of my HuaChuang as much as my AoChuang, but at least it doesn't have a seizure every third solve. Perhaps I just need to tension and lube. I'll do that once it's better broken in.

It is a total pain to disassemble and put back together, but totally worth it. And even though its tough, its easier than an AoSu

I'll wait until I've done something bad, then inflict it on myself as punishment

Today I've also ordered a HuaChuang together with some GuanLong.
I've felt like I have to with the current exchange rate from $ to CHF

I've never disassembled a cube that is bigger than a 4x4. I guess I would not be able to put it back together...

Nice, Marcel! I'm looking forward to seeing your Roux times beat your CFOP times.

 

[Gordon]

Is the 20.00 your Roux-Single-PB?
And are you more happy with the 20.00 or does it bother you that it is not 19.99?

Because I had this once in the past few days and it bothers me more than it makes me happy. It was 20.01, but it's almost the same.


Today I received my mini AoSu. I'ts realy a nice one. I like it much. I didn't think that those 2mm make such a big difference. I hope it will be soon as broken in as my regular one.

Ao100=13.89

You seem to have a low standard deviation for someone of your speed. We're similar speeds, and I still get very bad solves, particularly when I do stupid things like solve a white cross around the yellow center. XD I don't know how you managed to only get one sup 18. I've gotten AO100s close to as fast as yours, and although I didn't count, I feel confident mine had at least 8 of them. Haha.

My standard deviation was like that as well.

@IRNjuggle28 and guysensei1: I guess you guys are about the same speed as me. I don't usually take note of my standard deviation. Maybe it would be interesting to compare in an Ao100. My impression is that if your standard deviation is higher at the same speed then you have greater potential or it's easier to become faster because whereas I can only get faster at what I am already doing, you can do that plus eliminate the errors with more practice.

I get very few sup-20 times and if I do, it's always because I've made an error which I'm pretty sure that 22 was in my Ao100. I've done white cross around yellow center (or vice versa) before, but very infrequently nowadays. Sometimes but rather infrequently I mess up my cross. Occasionally, I mess up F2L (like pairing white-blue-orange corner with blue-red edge). But these don't happen often.

Is the 20.00 your Roux-Single-PB? .

No, I have a sub 18 on camera

With me it is mostly OLL messed up. I frequently execute the wrong OLL or mess it up completely.

I just looked at my signature and realised that on Jan 14th I did an Ao100 CFOP of 19.4X which was half a second faster than my PB. The strange part is that I really do not do any CFOP solves. On that day I was a little frustrated with my Roux times and did an Ao100 to get rid of that feeling. It's nice to see mt CFOP times are also improving while doing Roux solve practice. I have heard more people in the Roux group telling this, but I figured I would become slower real fast. Nice surprice to see that is not the case.

Wow! That's awesome that you are keeping your CFOP speed.

 

[mark49152]

Oh man, and I was hoping Marcel's foray into Roux would give me an opportunity to overtake him in CFOP

 

[sneaklyfox]

When I was more seriously practicing Roux I think my CFOP times got worse, but I can't remember for sure.

I just read the first few pages of this thread when Marcel first started posting and his PB was like 90 seconds. It's pretty cool to see he is now getting sub-20 times.
