precompsubwr progression thread | 3.90 squan single... just kidding no

Should I get back into blindfolded solving?

So I'm gonna do something similar to what @urfavmuuse is doing, improving my worst events in kinch ranks, and those are:

5x5 (49.62)
Mega (47.47)
7x7 (40.51)
6x6 (40.18)
3BLD (16.48)
4BLD (10.22)
3MBLD (6.39)
5BLD (0.00)

So just big cubes, mega, and the bld events, I'm gonna try to get the kinches above 50, so here are my goals

5x5: 1:09.52
6x6: 2:11.32
7x7: 3:19.36
Mega: 53.68
3BLD: 24.00 single or 28.10 avg
4BLD: 1:43.92 single or 2:12.92 avg (oh god)
5BLD: 4:08.82 single or 4:55.26 avg
MBLD: 29 pts (jeez)

Yeahh this might be a lot harder than I thought, focusing on the bld events last because I don't have any comps or anything coming up
Also the fact that they are all either wr18-ish or wr40 soo
Yeah this is the issue I see with Kinch. For example, getting a 40 mean in FMC is super easy, but gives you 50 kinch. Meanwhile, 50 kinch in 5BLD is top 20 in the world which is insane.

I feel like something more reasonable would be sub top x in every event using this

Also pb 3x3 mo3 (rolled from 5.89 pb!)

So the comp is next weekend, and four new comps announced nearby (all of which are series comps, so I can only go to max 2)

Cubing-on-Hudson AM: 3x3, Clock, Pyra
Cubing-on-Hudson PM: 3x3, 2x2, Skewb
Flushing Open AM: 3x3, Mega, Pyra
Flushing Open PM: 3x3, 6x6, OH

I would go to both the PM ones to get better 3x3/2x2 avg and to get a 6x6 result (that's why they're in bold

And also the comps are a week apart so if I do manage to go that will be very exciting (double sunday, better for me)

I'll talk to my parents about it, hopefully they say yes to at least the hudson one because it's $15 compared to $30

Good choice to choose skewb
Also, the comps there are really expensive, wow, 30 dollars, for me, is 150 lei (Romanian money) and the average comp here is 60-80 lei, so 12-16$

Avg comp here is $20-30 (89-133) bigger comps with like 200 competitors are upwards of like $40 (180+)
 
A lot just happened, right now and from previous days

I'm just shocked rn

This isn't exactly what it would have looked like because it was on a chromebook, but it was the first solve of the session, also I was using keyboard so not sure if I should count it

Solution:

D F' D2 r R' U' r' R2 U R' // xxcross
U R' U R U2 R' U R // 3rd pair
y R' U' R // 4th pair
M' U M U2 M' U M U' // ELL

It was using a tv3 I bring to school along with an old 5x5, not too excited because it was on keyboard, should I count this as pb or as a seperate pb
