Race to sub-X on Pyraminx

Round 10
My weird L4E
X Man Bell Pyra
Race to sub 3.5

4.23, 2.95, 4.59, 4.74, 2.72, 3.18, 4.28, (4.79), 2.67, 3.24, (2.37), 3.57 = 3.61 :):):)

Ok so that was a bit weird, normally my solves are in between 2.9 and 4.1 but that was a very mixed bunch.
At first I was very disappointed because of the amount of 4s I was getting but then I got a bunch of 2s to balance it so thats cool. Once you average around 3.5 it is very hard to improve with normal practice, while you are improving, it is very slow.
I have been experimenting with new methods of practice like Pyraminx FMC and stuff like that. I think my next step is one looking every solve because even one pause in a pyra solve can take up half your solve when you are getting times this low.
Not sub 3.5 yet but getting there :)
 
Round 10
Race to sub-10

Pyraminx: Shengshou
Method: Keyhole

Ao12: 12.51

16.27, 7.69, 16.08, 8.57, 15.24, 10.76, (DNF), 13.23, (16.74), 9.49, 8.41, 10.26

Now this was horrible. Got FOUR over fifteens (I just paused for like five secs). It's easy to screw up.

Not bad after switching to intuitive L4E!! I'm still doing race to sub-8 though.

Thanks DGCubes for you you intuitive L4E video. They helped a lot.

How fast can I easily get down to in a few weeks?

We got a great turnout this week, 10 people!

Sorry for being late, but I was working hard on finalizing the details with the delegate for the competition I'm setting up. It is be official in a few days!:)

Good luck everybody.
 
Round 11
Race to sub-7

Cube: Shengshou
Method: 1-Flip
7.282, 5.343, 6.775, 6.940, 6.327, 5.577, 6.763, 7.471, 4.635, (4.152), 6.614, (7.428) = 6.368 (2/3)

P.S. When I learned intuitive last 4 edges I got sub 8 in about 1 week but I was also doing like 100 solves a day. You seem to be on good pace though.
 
Round 11
Race to sub 3.5
X Man Magnetic Bell Pyra
Intuitive L4E

3.72, 3.79, 3.95, 4.27, 3.41, 4.62, 3.90, 3.79, 4.06, (3.16), (4.80), 4.44 = 3.99

Lol it was looking alright until the two fours at the end. Still nice and consistent, too bad there wasn't any sub 3s because I have been getting a few 2.7 - 2.9 in practice. Overall it was a consistent average and ill take it. Im still working on one looking, if the V is easy I can one look the solve but as you can see I didn't one look any of those solves. Hopefully I can get a sub 3.6 average next round :)

ROUND 11
Lewis
Method: LBL
Goal: Sub-8
Cube: Moyu Pyraminx (non-magnetic)

Times: (11.02), 8.03, 9.36, 9.81, (6.21), 10.15, 10.67, 10.09, 8.01, 6.51, 8.09, 8.09.

Average: 8.88

Think I'm just hideously inconsistent from day to day, on pyraminx especially. It's going to be sheer fluke if I get three sub-8s in a row.
 
Round 11
CapriPhonix
Race to Sub 5
Pyraminx: Magnetic Moyu!! It finally arrived!!!
Method: Top First (including 1-Flip, Oka, WO, and Nutella), sometimes L4e, and my shitty 2-Flip Method


Times:

(7.20+), 4.34, 5.54, 6.25, 4.20, 5.03, 5.34, 5.39, (3.90), 4.19, 4.99, 4.33

Average: 4.96

Oh my god I actually did it... the last four solves definitely carried me. I absolutely LOVE this new magnetic pyraminx. So fricking good. However, other than the tips (which I can get used to I think), I do have one pet peeve: as @DGCubes said in his Review:
"Now here comes my only complaint with this puzzle: corner cutting"
Some times, when doing certain fingertricks, it locks up and just doesn't go through which can be really annoying. It's not as bad as the lock ups on the regular moyu, but are still a tiny bit frustrating. But despite this, I personally believe this is the best pyra on the market (I still need to try the qiyi magnetic though).
