I really want to be a good all rounder, but I'm equally bad at everything, and I haven't improved at literally anything since October. I really don't know where to start, so I would really appreciate if someone gave me tips on how to improve at a specific event. Here are the events I do, my mains, globals, official PRs, and methods.

3x3:

FMC:

Method: CFOP but with some extra stuff
Main: yes
PR: we don't talk about this (67, 67.67) (I'm like 3rd last in the world)

Clock:

I have a comp at the weekend, but I'm only allowed go 1 day. On the Saturday there's 3x3, 2x2, 4x4, Pyra and Skewb. Here are my goals:
3x3:
Sub-20 ao5, PR single, don't get WPA.

2x2:
Sub-4 ao5, PR single, 3/5 CLL at least, don't break my friend's valk in the waiting area for the 3rd comp in a row

4x4:
Cut-off

Pyra:
PRx2, don't get WPA

Skewb:
Sub-8 Ao5, Sub-6 single.

If you're able to send vids I can try to critique any of these events(although some I'm not experienced at), or I could critique recons. I can also help specifically with BLD.

I did a 3x3 and 2x2 ao100, for the 3x3 I kept solving until it was sub-20, but I just did 100 2x2 solves. Happy I was even able to get a sub-20 ao100 at all, but I'm really not impressed with the 2x2. I got some good averages and singles in both events, a pb ao5 in both events,(15.19, 2.56) and my pb counting times in both events. Quite happy with the session so far, think I'll do pyra now.

Only did like 60-70 solves, but this was my ao100 after those solves. I'm really happy with this, I stopped at a random time, and this was my ao100, way better than average. I'll do a bit of skewb now.

Already had 30 solves on the session so I only did 70 solves to get it up to 100. Not a great average but oh well, It's like half 10, I need sleep. I don't particularly wanna do a 4x4 ao100. I'll do a few big cube solves to calm my brain down and then go to bed. I'll see yall tomorrow.
 
Comp over, let's see what goals I achieved

3x3:
Sub-20 ao5, PR single, don't get WPA.

I got a high 21 ao5 in r1, but a 19.55 ao5 in r2 😁. I didn't get pr single (17.24), but I got 17.30 and another 17. I got BPA in r1, but WPA in r2, but I'm not complaining. I've been trying to get sub 20 ao5 for months and months. Really happy with my 3x3 performance.

2x2:
Sub-4 ao5, PR single, 3/5 CLL at least, don't break my friend's valk in the waiting area for the 3rd comp in a row

I didn't get a sub-4 ao5, first round I got high 5, second round I got high 4. First round I got 1/5 CLL (😭) but I got 4/5 CLL in r2. I didn't pop my friend's valk, but I popped my friends weipo (😭). I bought a qiyi ballcore 2x2 to put a stop to my 3 comp pop-my-friend's-2x2 streak. Overall performance could be better, but oh well.

4x4:
Cut-off

I didn't make cut-off. First was 1:39, (double parity), and then I was 13 seconds in, all centres done, two edges done, and of course the whole cube popped. Why wouldn't it pop.

Pyra:
PRx2, don't get WPA

I got PR single, both averages were atrocious. I don't even wanna know if I got WPA.

Skewb:
Sub-8 Ao5, Sub-6 single.

While I didn't get either of these goals, but I am nonetheless happy about my performance. I got a 7.55 single and 8.45 average, which might not be what I average at home, but still double PR.

Overall very happy with my performance today, the highlight being my sub 20 3x3 ao5. I really enjoyed today, and can't wait for my next comp in 3 weeks.

I've decided I can't escape from learning yau for 4x4. I've reached my limit for redux. I feel I could get so much faster with yau.
Click to expand...
The thought that has come to me a million times and I've always dismissed it(I actually have tried Yau a bunch of times but just don't see how to get it faster than Redux)
