PB Squan Average! The scrambles were INSANE!, no parity in all solves, and good Cubeshape and EP cases.

PB4 (I think)
Pretty good, also I have another Skewb Comp so I will be practicing more. My goal is to get a Sub-3 Average, and with decent scrambles, that should be doable.

Skewb: I haven't improved in quite a while, mainly because I haven't learnt anything new. I have a month until my next Skewb comp, so I will be learning more algs and one-looks, and hopefully I can average comfortably under Sub-3 by July.
 
Clock PB of 3.83!

Time List:
1. 3.83 UR4- DR1- DL4+ UL1- U2+ R2+ D3- L3- ALL1+ y2 U2- R5+ D5+ L2+ ALL2+ UR DR DL

For those of you who do clock, you can try the scramble and see how good it is. Drops my previous PB by almost a whole second.
 
I haven't updated this in a month, so I thought I would give an update.

I've been slowly getting better at a lot of events and improving my kinch score, which is good :)
I haven't been doing much Skewb and it has been showing. At my last comp I almost lost to somebody who uses Intermediate...
My TPS is slow and I lockup a lot so I want to fix that. I know I can be Sub-3 easily. As many fast Skewbers would know turning fast in comp is not that easy when you have nerves, and in comp I lockup and rarely get Sub-4 averages even though I average 3.3 at home.

I am going to Nationals next week. My mains and goals are quite simple. Try to PR in everything and podium in Skewb. Podiuming is impossible but Derpy Cuber got 3rd in NAC 2022 with a 2.11 average, and 2x2 is not his main event, so anything can happen, and that is what I'm hoping for. Hopefully I can be Sub-3 in a week before Nationals, but that is likely not going to happen. I definitely want to make Finals, which should be do-able as long as I can turn well with no lockups.

I wish you the best of luck!! Remember not to put to much pressure on your self!
 
Mains and Goals for Nats:
3x3: Get PR average and make next round- Should be doable as long as I have good lookahead and cross is easy/medium.
2x2: Get Sub-3 Average and make semifinals, although that is quite unlikely.
4x4: Get PR average and Single
OH: idc
Clock: Make Semifinals and get Sub-7 average.
Pyraminx: Make Seminals and maybe PR average is scrambles are good.
Square-1: Get PR Average - Long overdue, but I keep messing up in comp. Sub-15 avg would be nice, and maybe Semfinals if I get extremely lucky.
Skewb: My main goal is to make finals - Sub 3.5 is the target, and I think I can do that as long as I don't mess up. I would really like Sub-3, which should be doable as long as scrambles are not horrible and I get cases I can one-look. If scrambles are insane than maybe Top Player but I highly doubt that is happening.
 
I got a Sub-25 OH average today at Nationals, which is nice :D
I also got a 22 PR single with a V perm lol.

Also just as a question, what do you think I should setup my Skewb for round 1 tomorrow? I am deciding between angstrom dignitas and DNM, or speedy, DNM, and mystic.

First Sub 12 Average, First Sub-11 Average, and First Sub-10 Average lol. 0/5 Parities, good Cubeshapes, and amazing EP's (I'm talking about 1-2 short alg kind of EP's). Not only that, but my turning on all of them were insane!

Update: I have been practicing a lot of 3x3 lately, ever since I got my 10.65 PR Average. I think I can get Sub-10 soon, but I'll have to learn Cross +1 on hard scrambles and drilling LL, because unlike most people my LL is slow. Even though I average around 10.5-11, I am yet to get a Sub-10 Average, yet 22% of my solves are Sub-10 in my past 100 solves. I have around 20 10.0x averages, and my PB Average is 10.02. I'll do a lot of practice today, so I hope I'll get it. I had my biggest chance a few minutes ago, where I needed 9.59, but the scramble was good (It had a free pair). Without a lockup on T Perm I would gotten it, but instead I got 9.98.
