POLL: Most difficult time barrier to break!

[mrpotatoman14]

I was stuck at 17 seconds for about 4-5 months. Other than that I've never really had a barrier

 

[Tyjet66]

I didn't break sub-30 for around 2 years. Then again I wasn't really practicing hardcore. I did finish learning PLL and a few OLLs during that time.

 

[CubeRoots]

lol, can someone explain how sub 20 could possibly be easier to break than sub 15?

am i misinterpretting the question here?

 

[pdilla]

To be honest, sub 13 sucks...

 

[JonnyWhoopes]

Well, considering that I've been wavering above and below 15 for well over a year now would lead me to believe that sub15 is the most difficult.

 

[somerandomkidmike]

Obviously sub-15, because 15 is the smallest number. Why are there other responses?

 

[musicninja17]

Sub 6 is pretty hard imho

Obviously sub-15, because 15 is the smallest number. Why are there other responses?

Because different people improve at different rates at different times. I averaged 22 for much longer than I averaged 15.

Sub-1 was not bad I just practiced for a day and it eventually happened after learning 4LLL
Sub-50 was pretty hard but i think it was because of the cube. After I got a Dayan Guhong it instantly happened.
Sub-40 was the easiest for me because most of it is just practice
Sub-30 was pretty hard but after improving on F2L it was really easy
Sub-20 still working on it

 

[MrBlazery]

Sub 20 is probably the hardest to break i guess. I have been average 21-22 seconds for about 6 months and had like 3 sub 20 solves. But sub 15 might be harder. IDK

 

[userman]

still working sub-20.
I've been sub-25 for like 6 months now.
I suck at cubing.

How's it going on the way? I am still working to get sub 25, which is my current goal

Do you know full PLL? I am planning to learn them all. Do you know full OLL?

 

[tx789]

sub 20 still not there

sub 30 took me a while then I got a guhong and my times when up ( I had a f2 before)

 

[toruu]

For me actually none of those have been hard. My thoughest barrier is actually the one right know. I'm at about 13 and the average doesn't seem to go down..

 

[Iggy]

Sub-20. I struggled so hard to do it with CFOP, and now I struggle to do it with Roux.

 

[Artic]

The toughest initial time barrier you encountered?

What's the first time barrier you personally faced that took you a while to overcome?

I've been speed cubing semi regularly and my times have slowly fallen. However, now I've reached an average of 24.xx and the cube is fighting back! I have a feeling I'm going to have to practice MUCH harder to beat it. So for me, the first hard barrier I've faced is 24.xx

What's yours?

 

[RubiksJake12]

For me it was hands down sub-20. I'm in that annoying place where you've broken the barrier, but it's not long gone and it's nagging at you during every solve. I normally avg. sub-20, but I'm still not confident.

This is me. I average about 21.xx or 20.xx when I Average...even out of 100. I've done three Ao100 in the past few days with 3 different cubes (weilong, CX3, zhanchi) and they were all 21.xx (within a few hundredths of a second of each other).

I have no idea what to practice, so I'm practicing everything. F2L lookahead, recognition, faster pll/oll times, faster cross. I have gotten lower than 20 averages, as you can see in my signature. Consistently, I wouldn't dare claim I'm truly sub 20. I've been working on sub 20 since August of 2013. I don't know why I can't pass it

 

[ComputerGuy365]

sub 20 imo since I still havent broken it.

 

[already1329]

Sub-11.

 

[cubemaste r]

sub 0.001

 

[PeelingStickers]

sub-15

sub 5 on 7x7
