precompsubwr progression thread

[2x2MasterYT]

[precompsubwr]

I accidentally pronounced progression thread as "progression dread"

anyway I got a last layer skip on a hand scramble, and a last layer skip on an actual scram

I don't remember the full recon, but it started with
y2 R' D B' R F' U' r U2 r'
And ended with the green-orange pair and a U' auf

I think the last pair was a corner twisted in its slot, just 2-gen

 

[precompsubwr]

Found the solution

y2 R' D B' R F' U' r U2 r' // x-cross
y2 U' F' U' F U L U L' // 2nd pair
U2 R U R' F R' F' R //3rd pair
y' R U' R' U R U2 R2' F F' R U R U' R' U' // 4th pair with hesitation

I'm a little sick rn but I don't think I'm stopping cubing because it's not too bad (I took my temperature and it's 100.7, is that bad? Also why is everyone getting sick)

100.7 is a fever should probs get some adol and brufen into your esophagus

100.7 is a fever. Unrelated, I've had a fever of 103 degrees before.

I know already I'm better now

 

[precompsubwr]

So yeah, I got a 4.51 3x3 single on an oh scramble, 6 move x-cross and it was fullstep too (scramble is now gone)

I guess this begins the quest to beat 4.87...

 

[precompsubwr]

A few updates

I did another FMC attempt and got a 32, giving me an ao12 of 33.90

After a year and 11 days, I finally beat the 4.87, and it was one of my smartest solutions too

U2 B D2 R2 B' U2 L2 U2 B F D R2 B' L2 B D' L2 R' B

Spoiler: Solution

no inspection // no inspection
R' B2 D L2 F2 // x-cross
u' R U' R' U R U' R' D // pseudo-slot
y' U' R U' R' U R U' R' U R' F R F' // last pair
F R' F' R U R U' R' U2 R U R' U' R' F R F' U2 // accidental zbll

This gave me 10.15 TPS, would have been faster if I didn't do edge control, but you can't ask for too much at once

Also some other things:
Casual 4:02.32 7x7 single, I'm improving (didn't feel that fast)

Wow! Nice solution! I got a similar solution as well, so this is the scramble you needed to break that 4.87! So proud of you bro

still not sub me smh

 

[precompsubwr]

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

Have you ever wondered 'If I am rank n in 3x3, how fast is that in other events?' This page lets you compare a rank across all events.
