Ota Mota's Progression Thread // Road to Sub-3.5 Ao1000 for ZBLL Recog+Exec

Which Unofficial Event should I aim to be World Class at?

Realized grinding an ao1000 is boring. What I am going to do instead is a cycle between all of my COLL sets. I have to do a COLL set 3 times in a row sub-3.5 or else I reset. I will use the recap feature so I am making sure I go through every case from the COLL set once and only once, and if that average is sub-3.5, after doing the cycle of all the other COLL sets, I have to comeback to the COLL set to sub-3.5 it. Specifically, I will reset the count for that COLL set only, and not the whole game so that I can end early some sets I am good at, and focus more on the bad sets. I will stop learning a set if I did sub-3.5 3 times in a row.

Here is the chart I will update every once in a while. The numbers are just random things I am using, and I don't imagine it matches what the official numbers are but whatever. If you want to know what case a number is, you can ask me.

O: 0 (Technically this includes 3 separate COLLs, but PLL will be easy I don't really care)

Update: (The reason why only like 2 categories have a point is because I kept doing stuff like miscraming and starting the timer before I could fix it, or missing the timer start before doing a case or ending it early, and other annoying stuff like that. I don't have an option to tell the program "I did something wrong here, please put it back into the deck". Anytime I end a set due to these technical difficulties, I won't add any points, but I won't reset the count either.)
