I sent some of the people on ttw last night a friend request (MarcelP, sneaklyfox, Schmidt and maybe others, I can't remember); please check them!

 

[MarcelP]

Unfortunately I had to miss it. Who won the BOOM?

Well, I had a 60 solves Average 23.03 (last solve cost me a sub 23 total). Schmidt's pc crashed after 44 solves (that fast he was). Melody was doing OH, and I think Thomas was the fastest.

Hi, Marcel from Holland here

Just had my first competition. All around 30 sec, except for one where I just didn't have a clue where to start, and had an A-perm I didn't see so with a Tperm I had to finish off with a Zperm. Pb on green.

I wanted to get 5 times in time (cutoff) which was 2.30m for the 4x4 and 5m for the 5x5. That 5x5 went even better than I hoped for.

Edit: the worst 3x3 was 1:00,80

Look at you buying new cubes and all.. LOL So you really are back in the game huh? Is that a Weilong V2?

The other day you said 'Yeah but I did it on stack mat'. That made me think. So I did an Ao100 with CTRL's buttons in PPT (I left my stackmat timer at last competition).. Man... big difference. it was 25.XX (high) I think I am not as fast as I thought I was. So last few days I have been practicing the right way. Today I filmed an Ao12 22.25 the stackmatted way:

Spoiler
