precompsubwr progression thread | I wonder what came in the mail...

[precompsubwr]

Today I got a new 3x3 (RS3M 2020) and pyraminx (Weilong standard) and I can say they are way better than my old cubes (obviously)

My global averages are:

2x2: low 2
3x3: low-mid 9
4x4: 41-45
5x5: 1:35-1:55
6x6: 4:00-4:20
7x7: i don't do 7x7 often but around 9 minutes
3x3 bld: sub-3 min? haven't done it in a while
3x3 oh: 17-21
clock: mid 7/low 8
megaminx: 1:25-1:35
pyraminx: low 5
skewb: high 4/low 5
square-1: 11-15

All others I haven't attempted before (mbld was all 0/2 dnfs)

I want to get better at uhh... actually all the events but mainly 3x3, 4x4, megaminx, pyraminx, and skewb


For pyraminx I usually just solve the centers and then 2 edges which is really inefficient but if I could fix that I could probably get down to low 4

Cold hands do suck.
If you're wanting to get good at pyra, tighten your WeiLong. You've probably already noticed how loose it is.

I don't have the right stuff to remove the tips to reach the screw and I don't want to damage the puzzle since I just got it

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

wow, your stats are crazy. good stuff.

Thanks. And also I forgot to mention my next comps are North Jersey Speedsolving B, possibly Wall Street Spring B, and then Mystic Cubikon if they will accept new competitors after 38

True, I forgot that you need an array of builders, 79 lb of cream cheese, and Feliks Zemdegs himself, in order to tension the cube

This cube is really good but it's either a little uncontrollable or too locky

damn it my timer died

 

[Maddoxer]

Congrats! That's such a good scramble to get. My PB scramble was actually pretty similar to that.

 

[precompsubwr]

new poll out now and i voted because i said so

 

[precompsubwr]

So I've been doing some megaminx for the past few minutes and I think I've improved out of nowhere? I'm now getting times in the 1:15-1:20 range and I broke my all pbs (except for 1:02 single)
I think I'm sub-1:20 now

 

[precompsubwr]

I'll start trying 3bld more (since majority voted yes) but I'm also gonna learn EG-2 for my 2x2 grind

Starting off with the H cases and moving on to the others

 

[precompsubwr]

I finished the H and sune cases for EG-2 and I just realized that like 10 cases are just pure anti-cll (which I was already using before) so those I already got down
And some algs are mirrors of others which is quite useful

Nice did you drill those algs?

Are those algs sub-1 able?

I did but some of them I can't sub-1 at the moment

REDEMPTION TIME (2.84 pb ao5)

if you see a move in [brackets] that means to rotate the cube in that direction of the move

Spoiler: Solve 1 solution

U' L R U' R U R' L' l r' b
[r'] b' u' r R' L [r'] L R' L' R

Spoiler: Solve 2 solution

U' L' R' B L R L' B R l' r' b' u
idk this solution try it for yourself

Spoiler: Solve 3 solution

U' R' U' R L' R' L U' l b' u'
[ b ] b r' l R' U R U' L' U L
had to space out the brackets because if i didn't it would become bold text

Spoiler: Solve 4 solution

U B' U L U B L' B l r b
[l] l' b' u' L U L' U' R' L R L' U' R U' R' U R' L R L'
if this looks like a lot of moves keep in mind this is only 5.6 tps

Spoiler: Solve 5 solution

B' R B R' B U B' L l' b' u'
[ u ] b u r B' U L R' L' R2 U' R' U'
same reason as solve 3

 

[precompsubwr]

how bro (first mbld solve in months)
if you're wondering i put the cubes on a gan 251 box

 

[precompsubwr]

wo
