Older cubers discussions

My entry was bad. I thought I recorded it but I pushed the button at the wrong time, so I recorded after the solves:(
I got a PLL skip too and a sub18 full step and a 27​:o

Nice!! My Ao5 PB is close to that. What is your Ao5 PB?
 
Marcel, did you order a Weisu?

I just checked my 4x4 history in 4+ race... a year ago when I had a Shengshou I could average 2:02 and that was without much practice at all. I gave the Shengshou away shortly after so I haven't had any decent cube for almost a year but only this really bad cube that I basically didn't bother touching. I have practiced some on it in the last week or so (more than I did last year) in preparation for getting seriously into 4x4 with a good cube and I can only average 2:18! So I can only guess how much better I would be when I receive my Weisu. Perhaps I will be instantly sub-2. Ooh, the thought gives me the shivers. :)

Yes, I ordered a Weisu. It is still on the way though... This weekend I hope to try one or two on a competition. I suspect you will be sub 2 instantly ;) For me that is a bit too fast I think. I average 2:30 - 2:40 right now. I start to enjoy 4 x 4 more and more. I only wish there where slower people than me. Lol..

TheCubicle had white Weisus on backorder when I was ordering so I'll have to wait. It's good to see you're getting into 4x4 at around the same time as me. I like having someone to compare with in the weekly ;).(Although I've done no 4x4 in the weekly for a good while now)

Consider making a video of a 4x4 average of 5/12, so you could get tips on what you're doing wrong.

Marcel, what happened to your prepared solve game? Are you still doing that? I'd quite like to pick that up again. It was fun.

No, I did not continue after only one or two entries came. You could take over the contest if you want to. I will participate ;)

I am too busy to do it weekly and would keep letting people down, but I'd enjoy doing it ad-hoc as and when I have time. I'll post a scramble later. I think it's good for tps training.
