I would have actually done it if it weren't for me messing up CP.

Averaging 1:10 right now on Mega.

Came from a comp today.
Everything went poorly (What a surprise lol)
The only good thing was that I got a Sub-1 Megaminx single, and there are uncommon for me so I am glad to get it officially.
I also met @Clock_Enthusiast

It was great to meet you, and you did absolutely insane in mega!

Everything went poorly for me as well, haha.
 
2.80 Official Skewb Average!

Ranked 89th in the World as of today.

The first scramble was 4 moves to hedge, and I got 1.86 on that.
Second Scramble was two moves to Pure Pi + H Perm, which is 3 sledges, and I one-looked it, getting a 2.06.
It was at that point that I knew Sub-3 was possible. I got 4 on the 3rd which made me nervous, but I got 3.20 on the 4th, which meant I only needed a high 3 for Sub-3 average. And then I got a 3.13, which got the Sub-3 Average!
Could have definitely been mid 2 average, since the last one had a 2 sledge case, so I should have gotten 2.6 ish instead of 3.13, but it is Sub-3 avg so I don't care.

Trying to get Skewb Sub-3 // Trying to get 5x5 Sub-1:40, Mega Sub-1:30, 3BLD Sub-2:00, 4BLD Sub-10, 5BLD Sub-20, and FMC Sub-30/35, to qualify for US Nationals this summer.

PB's, PB Averages, and Mains so far:

3x3: Tornado V3 M, 6.99 and 10.16.
2x2: YJ MGC Elite, 0.75 and 2.74.
4x4: MoYu AoSu WR M, 37.68 and 52.48. (The 37 was extremely lucky.)
5x5: YJ MGC, 1:27.71 and 1:49.64.
6x6: YJ MGC, 3:26.82 and 3:48.92.
7x7: YJ MGC, Low 7 and IDK the average because I hate the event.
3x3 BLD: Tornado V3 M, 2:00.033 and 2:16.66
3x3 FMC: Tornado V3 M, MoYu WeiLong WR M Maglev, and MoYu WeiLong WR M 2021, 29 and 39.33.
3x3 OH: MoYu WeiLong WR M Maglev, 17.86 and 24.67.
Clock: QiYi Magnetic Clock, 4.78 and 5.98.
Megaminx: GAN Megaminx, 1:36.78, and 1:42.57, (Planning to switch to the YuHu.)
Pyraminx: GAN Pyraminx M, 1.48 and 2.80.
Skewb: GAN Skewb Enhanced, 1.06 and 2.08, (It would be 1.06 but I also got a 0.9x from a comp on the forums. Also, the 2.08 average was also Pure Sub-3 :))
Square-1: YJ MGC, 7.87 and 12.78.
4BLD: MoYu AoSu WR M, 17:32
5BLD: YJ MGC, DNF.
MBLD: Same cubes as FMC (Except the Tornado) Plus a bunch of Meilong's, 5/5 Cubes, (I didn't keep track of time.)

Decided to have a progression thread because pretty much everyone else has one.
oh boy i agree, skewb is indeed the best event
 
I am officially the luckiest person on earth...

I got 10 solves straight without parity.

Wow, that's crazy!

Are you going to Troy Story 2024? It has 3 rounds of skewb and 2x2
 
4BLD PB DNF by 2 centers. Time was 13:51 (8 min memo)
Other than the DNF I notice a ton of things I can improve on such as speeding up memo (bc in my past attempts I have never had an issue with forgetting memo, so I think I can Sub-5 memo). My think-ahead could have been also better.
I don't get tired when doing multiple 4BLD attempts but one 5BLD attempt is tiring for me. I don't know why though
