Road to NR250 (skewb) and NR500 (4x4/5x5/OH/Mega/Pyra)

[That0newe1rdo]

I am gonna do a side event in the background of the main event for the month, i think this month it will be squan and/or 3bld, squan cause its good, 3bld cause i still dont have a success (should i learn M2 for 3bld btw)

 

[That0newe1rdo]

Double post, but.

Its currently a tie between a few events, so if there is no clear winner ill take the events and do a wheel spin

 

[That0newe1rdo]

Also ik i didnt ever get out a vid for the start of this, I PROMISE ill get one summarising september as soon as i can when September finishes.

 

[That0newe1rdo]

Recorded a mini guilford, pretty bad filming and that but yk.
Ima voice over and add some stupid editing and hopefully post tomorrow

The chat has spoken.
Obv they know i hate megaminx so they picked that.

General goals :

Sub 2:30 (big decrease of about 1:30 but i barely do mega so possible)

2 Look OLL

Maybe 2 look PLL

Not hate megaminx

Finally upload a video for this

Not crashout as i hate megaminx

I feel you could lower it down to sub 2, it's really easy if you just do like over 100 solves and start understanding it's not just bigger 3x3 and a new whole puzzle with new techniques

[That0newe1rdo]

I had everything ready to upload a few days ago but ofc my pc decides yt isnt a thing anymore so as of now no video for technical reasons

 

[That0newe1rdo]

Dont you love it when your megaminx spontaneously combusts and you dont know where the hell it is and the only time it does this is when you actually want to practice it.

 

[That0newe1rdo]

i found my megaminx.
it was in lil bros room.

Rebranding this thingy cause I realised that only doing 1 event a month was making my other avgs worse.

Here are my current goals for each event i practice compared to my avg.

2x2 :
Goal - Sub 4 Global
Average - 6 global

3x3 :
Goal - Sub 15 Global
Average - Low 19s

4x4 :
Goal - Sub 1:00 Global
Average - 1:10 Global

5x5 :
Goal - Sub 2:15 global
Average - 2:40 global

Megaminx :
Goal - Sub 2
Average - 2:40 global

Skewb :
Goal - Sub 5
Average - Low 8 global

Pyra :
Goal - Sub 7.5
Average - 12 global

OH :
Goal - Sub 30
Average - 41 global

Squan :
Goal - Sub 20
Average - 1:15

3BLD :
Goal - 1 success.

Clock :
Goal - sub 15
average - 23s
Some comp goals involve NR250 (average) in skewb and NR500 (average) in 4x4, Megaminx, Pyra, OH and 5x5.

 

[That0newe1rdo]

I think NR250 in skewb is very likely, my PB ao5 (5.40) would put me at tied NR124
If i can get sub 7 before my next comp (hopefully sheffield spring 2026) I can easily get NR250 or better.

Also, if you cant tell I love skewb, and have decided to main it over 4x4.
I still love 4x4 and intend to keep practicing it, I just find skewb to now be more important.
