Racing to sub-20

12. 19.00

Can't tell if new cube is that good, or solves were easy. Solve #5 was definitely one of the easiest scrambles I've ever seen. Cross almost done, most pairs just matched up accidentally and a sweet OLL skip. The 11.63 was actually the exact same PB I've had NL. What a coincidence.
Of course, needed one sup-20 to ruin everything, lol.

Using my new Gans 356 Air, color recognition is an issue as I shifted from Hualong!!! Need more practice to be consistent...

Been so busy I haven't had any time to practice. Powered out this average just to get it in. Don't think I can close the round tonight, but I'll try to get that done tomorrow.

Hope everyone has been enjoying the holidays

Since you haven't closed it I will jump in...

Cube: Aolong V2

Method: CFOP
23.67, 21.08, 20.74, 20.57, 18.17, (25.28), 20.33, 18.00, 17.24, 16.43, 23.32, (15.73) = 19.96

Woohoo! I thought I had no chance after such a slow start but I got better as I went. I don't expect to do this three times in a row, but it's nice to get one sub-20 average in there. =)

Since the round is still open I'll throw this in. I was borderline and then I got nervous and then had a big mistake on the next to last solve that threw it away. That's ok, I'll keep trying.

Round 530

Fairly mediocre for my first average of the new year. Still a bit more to go before I hit sub-20 averages!

 

[earth2dan]

Hey Earth2Dan could you change my cube to the Valk 3. I love it!

Can do. It's awesome isn't it! I need to order a 2nd one so I have a Valk3 at home and at the office, but I'm holding out to maybe order one of cubicle's Valk3 M's. I often do my weekly average at the office and I've been using my Gans 356 lately. Still a great cube, but it's not the Valk3.

January 31st, 2016 Closing Time, lol.

Haha, fixed

Round 530
Method: CFOP (Colour Neutral)
Cube: Gans 356
AO12: 26.73

19.91 Yellow,
30.45 Orange,
24.00 Yellow,
(17.27) White,
(40.34) Blue,
30.30 Blue,
21.03 Yellow,
36.20 Red,
28.37 Red,
38.54 Green,
18.55 White,
19.98 Yellow

My 3x3 goals for 2017 are to learn full OLL and get to sub 20 Colour Neutral. I want to ditch my white cross dependency so I can take advantage of those scrambles with nice crosses on other colours.

My cross building is definitely slower on non white/yellow faces, but my F2L is absolutely awful. Several times I had to remove and re-insert pairs because I built them incorrectly. Last layer will be the easiest adjustment as my recognition is only marginally slower on other colours.

I think I'll be here for a while yet
