I just started on this thread and I from the most recent avg of 12 I did I got a 22.70 which is my new record and I also get my best ever, 16.47!!!

I can't tell from your post - is this a submission? Did you get that average with the round 50 scrambles? You should post all of your times, not just the average, please.
 
Round 50
Average: 22.82


26.91,
22.36,
28.64,
25.81,
18.22,
19.15,
21.71,
23.73,
21.73,
24.37,
22.22,
20.23

I'm never content with my first couple of solves. Also, G-perms suck because I still haven't learned them but they come up so often. At least I'm improving my speed. Nowhere near the other day, though, when I got an ~18 second AO5 and a sub-20 second AO12.
 
Round 50
Avg 23.08


23.91, 22.19, 23.23, 23.33, 24.83, 24.11, 23.03, 21.61, (29.83), 21.47, 23.14, (20.95)

Cube was a Hiayan Memory cube...that sucks and is ancient.

I was really consistant during this average, I am all over the place most of the time.
That 29.83 was such a fail....:fp

I cleaned out my cube last weekend and used a new method of lubing it. It's really good now (modded Alpha V).

20.44, 23.69, 21.32, 18.80, (18.09), 21.57, 21.64, (33.71), 26.00, 24.24, 24.05, 20.50 = 22.23

The 18.80 was nonlucky - had a G perm. The 18.09 was even less lucky with a slow OLL and an N perm. The 33.71 I screwed up (don't remember which step) and had to redo a lot of the solve.

I've been using only a new (but lubed) storebought for the past few days and I was getting a few 21's with it this morning, but when I did some warmup solves on my main cube they were terrible. I think I was just turning too fast for me to look ahead, but after I did some metronome solves my times improved a bit and I finished with a 22.4 avg50 (not terrible but not great). I also think the white plastic hurt my recognition, especially after practicing on a black cube. I'm ordering a black LingYun this week, so we'll see how it affects my times.

edit-meh yellow cross somewhat effs up my ability to do white cross. i have to actually somewhat think about the color scheme

haiyans do degrade..i should make a video of my haiyan. you literally can't do a double flick on it . i tried my brothers new haiyan when he got it..the same effort i put into an R2 with my haiyna, his new haiyan does an R4.
And +1 about the pops happening (it eventually happens) and the center caps.

Oh my god! Finally a sub 20 average of 12 and a shiny new signature! :cool:
This is the first time ever I've gotten sub 20 and it also counts for this competition.

I tried fast turning and it worked. :tu
