Sub 5 at last...
Fastest RSM user (as far as I know).

It's amazing how much people have improved since August, when I got my old PB of 5.13. It's nice to feel like I'm catching up with the times

Nice! Lol that guy popped beside you on the second solve!

On solve two, did the competitor stop the timer when the puzzle popped?

No, the kid who popped was a judge. He was solving while nobody was at his station.

I'm so proud TuT

If he was a competitor you would have DNFed him xD

BWAAAHA-HAHAHA-HA! Your judge's face in the thumbnail! Looks like he's in the process of shitting he's pants! XD

very nice! ive never heard of RMS before, but then again, i dont know much about skewb. how much do you practise skewb? is it one of those puzzles where you can get 'good' (idunno what's good... like, 9 seconds??) after like a six hour session, or do you actually have to work for it?

 

[theROUXbiksCube]

In total I average like 7-8 on skewb and I probably got sub10 in six hours total (not a complete session but put together)

I've practiced on and off a lot. Last spring I practiced pretty intensely to reach sub 6, then after nationals I still practiced, though not as much. But in the last couple of months I have picked up the practice more and gotten back to learning new algs and hax.

Back when I started skewb (~December 2013) it took a couple weeks to get sub 10 even. However, I don't know what it would be like starting today, since skewb hardware, documentation, and fingertricks have improved tremendously from when I started (or you could stick with good ol' handtricks like Ranzha and I :3). RSM is definitely worth a look (ranzha.cubing.net). It isn't very popular, but development continues on its algs and it's a fun method. Learning to hack cases is also really cool.
