Very bad but on video.
The edit sucks, I still use MSMovieMaker.

I really haven't done much OH for awhile. Got my new 55mm Zhanchi recently and decided to get back to practicing and here, broke my PB Ao12 by almost a second!

Edit: Did a few more solves and got 26.84 for rolling.

[TheNextFeliks]

Don't end this round yet please. I am about to do it.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Don't end this round yet please. I am about to do it.

I've been killing some time waiting for you, but you're taking too long. I'll do one more 5x5x5 BLD solve, and then I'm posting results.

Edit: DNF [12:39.78], off by 2 + centers. So close...

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Ok that's fine. I'll do the next round.

Round 291
23.42
27.62, 24.38, 21.27, 24.88, 21.30, 20.41, (29.70), (18.57), 24.01, 23.91, 22.34, 24.05

So frustrating while learning new versions of OLLs:
1. recognize the OLL the old way without thinking (0.5 sec)
2. remember how to do it (0.25 sec)
3. realize it's a new one, re-recognize it (3 sec)
4. remember how to do it (1 sec)
5. execute it, about 2 seconds faster than the old one

Net result: 2.75 seconds slower. I know it will get better, but it's so frustrating while it's not.

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Failed. 27.71. Too many sup 30s. Still going for sub-25.

Round 290:
Yellow-white CFOP
Average: 22.08
σ = 2.59 <.<

Pretty happy that I had some sub-20 times at least. But my other times werent that great. Only one time between 20-22s...

Times:
18.14, 22.64, (18.11), 23.04, 19.01, 23.74, 25.57, 20.85, 25.62, (25.62), 22.34, 19.86

In hindsight I should have put on some faster black metal, that would definitely have helped.

Round 291 (OH)

Quite nice. A little off from another PB.
