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

After a bit of practice, I am already sub-4. I think I will get better results at the comp than I thought.

I mean like I am averaging mid 2 with only CLL and you with full Eg1 And CLL should be faster ig

Yeah, my TPS is pretty bad, and recall for EGs could use some work, and until recently, I had bad hardware. I should be able to get to sub-3 within a couple of months.

I would recommend you to start one-looking, because that will immediately make you Sub-2.5, at least Sub-3. Also if your worrying that you want to improve recall/recognition for eg algs, if you start one-looking that will eventually start to improve.

I am now sub-45 in OH.

Got some new 2x2 pbs this week.

Ao12: 2.53
Ao25: 2.80
Ao50: 2.95 (first sub 3)
Ao100: 3.12
Ao200: 3.19
Ao500: 3.27
Ao1000: 3.32

 

[OtaMota]

I think these are going to be my last pbs before my comp, as tomorrow I will be comp sims.

Counting Solve: 1.63
Ao5: 2.22
Pure Ao5: 2.69 (I am pretty sure I have something faster but its the fastest I know of, and I want to start tracking the statistic more)
Ao25: 2.71
Ao50: 2.92
Ao100: 2.97 (First sub-3!)
Ao200: 3.03
Ao500: 3.18
Ao1000: 3.20

Also new goal for the comp, originally, I was aiming for a sub-4 ao5, but after some practice this month, I think sub-3 is definitely a possible goal, and finals should be quite easy to get. Also, after doing some TeamBLD solves with @An Animating Cuber, I think a goal could be sub-2, as we got a couple of sub 2:10 solves.

 

[An Animating Cuber]

I almost forgot. Another goal I have is to meet Luke Garrett.

Luke garret canceled the comp we're going to and signed up for this one instead so I guess that goal is gone.

 

[OtaMota]

Yeah, Luke isn’t going, which is sad because I would have been the third person in the school to meet him. I don’t blame him though, south Tennessee (basically Georgia) is quite far away.

alg.net doesn’t have integration with this site, you’d have to use twizzle.net
