Ao12=14.96

That was a little too close for comfort. I was hoping for better, considering I smashed all my average PBs today.

Finally got a sub-15 Ao12 here. Been competing every week since R71 I think! Soon I will graduate.
GJ! And you are correct, you haven't failed to participate a single week since R71. I hope you keep coming here once in a while as an alumni after you graduate ;)

round85

annoying but I am getting there slowly
 
Method: CFOP
Cube: Gans 356 Air UM (Purple Springs)

Round 85
1: 15.01
2: 12.64
3: 15.64
4: 14.24
5: 15.95
6: 14.40

9: 15.86
10: (17.57)
11: (12.31)
12: 14.95
Avg: 14.98

The whole time I was thinking "Whelp, just gonna be another 15 average. Oh well." Then I finish, sure it was a 15, but it wasn't. Woo.
I have absolutely no idea what's up with that 17. It didn't feel like a 17, didn't fumble or anything, just ended up being a 17.
 
15.71, 13.03, (19.06), 12.65, 14.59, 15.45, 15.98, 17.56, 16.88, 13.18, 13.55, (10.63)
Ao12=14.86

My hands were cold and I was slow. Today just wasn't one of my days. The only reason I got sub-15 was the PLL skip on solve 11 and the OLL skip on solve 12.
 
Round 85
Method: CFOP
Cube: Magnetic Weilong GTS (N50)

15.56, 18.07, 18.00, 15.89, 17.66, (15.47), 17.59, 16.99, 17.70, 17.01, (21.69), 20.63 = 17.51 avg

Pretty good avg for me. could have been so much better had i not screwed up solves 11 and 12.

oi, i used a valk3M with one warriorWM corner piece for round85
 
Round 86
Cube: Qiyi Valk3 stickerless
Method: CFOP dual CN

avg of 12: 18.37
18.87, 17.50, 16.89, 19.66, 17.34, 16.98, (21.64), 19.63, 18.11, 18.35, (15.74), 20.34

A bit over my most recent Ao100 but not by much so a completely average result :) And, yeah, I abandoned yet again my purpose to become full CN. In summary, I stoped timing myself for 1 month and I might have improved 0.3s or so... if at all.
 
round 86
cube: stickerless valk3M with one warrior WM corner piece
method: CFOP with full OLL about 50% of solves
12: 00:12.50 x
11: 00:15.79
10: 00:19.84 x
9: 00:17.75
8: 00:14.98
7: 00:17.32
6: 00:17.74
5: 00:18.99
4: 00:15.19
3: 00:16.51
2: 00:17.07
1: 00:16.79
average: 16.81

I only got two 'good times'(anything below 15) and I got two 'horrendous times'(anything above 18)
ever since I magnetised my valk3 my average has been about 0.2 seconds slower but I think this is because I loosened the tensions too much and have kept tightening them but still not enough and I cube in the subconscious fear of pops (even though they don't happen much)
