So, lately I've been finding it hard to get motivation to practice(ironic given the content of this post) as I probably have any comps until the end of June. Despite this, however, I've decided to start learning CLL!

I learned the 4 H cases today, and I'll probably have it all learned and familiar by SEC, I'm pretty busy nowadays.

Here are the only 4 solves from today that actually had one of these, unfortunately they were all the same case lol(happens to be my slowest of the 4)

In chronological order:

8.08
5.92
4.89
1.90 - This one is actually so hype as it made me feel really happy about learning the algs! Also definitely a crazy scramble: U' F R' U' R2 F2 U' F R

Overall pretty cool, anyone have advice for which set to learn next?

 

[Skewby_Doo]

I haven't practiced since 1682 but I have SEC in a bit over two months so I decided to finally do a comp sim ao5 as a reference and see where I need to practice before then. Note that some of these solves are my first solves in ages.

Btw I don't really feel like doing 5 or mega rn, I did do a 5x5 single tho and it was like 1:56.xx.
I can't find my 6x6 which is genuinely concerning because it is probably the only event(other than maybe squan) that I need to practice to make cutoff for, so hopefully I can find it soon.

3x3 updates though, I got two sevens yesterday which brings my total sub-8 counter to 3, one of them was a 7.50 and the other was 7.87 so it beats my old 7.69 pb by 0.19, and the two fastest of these three were fullstep solves, funny enough.

I'm going to try to actually practice more but I'm just busy lately and about to transition to high school in a few months which will make my practice time even lower as well as trying to get Eagle Scout before 18, not to mention being in the middle of tennis season.

It feels good to actually practice again more, I'm looking forward to competing again in a few months as my last competition was in December. I did have an fmc one in January but I'm not really counting that as one as it didn't have any of the events I did at the time. Thanks for reading my rant about why I haven't done any practice in over a month lol.

Good that you found time for practice.

Nice sessions in each event.

Good update yo!

So I'm deciding to update this because I feel obligated to keep the ~2 people that read my thread updated.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to go to Concord which is unfortunate because it is very close and also the same as my first comp, which would be cool. On the plus side, I was able to get a way to attend Lake Russell B as my brother will be touring Georgia Tech at the time, and my mom loves state parks so it ended up being a win-win. Another bonus is that I will be competing in FMC 2024 at the same location as it was the most convenient to do, and it gets 2 comps in one weekend. I'm still trying to figure out if the first attempt is at 3am which it seems like it is but that would be rather unfortunate for my sleep schedule.

I've been trying to practice 6x6, I need to seriously get time for it though if I want to make cutoff at SEC, which hopefully I can do. It's been a while since I fully updated my global on all events, so I'll leave those below. Overall I'm looking forward to competing again after 6 months along with attending SEC at the end of June.

So earlier this morning I got a 12.03 ao12 and a 12.02 ao12 which were both down from 12.09, which was kind of sad given I needed like a 13 or better to get sub-12, but a few minutes ago I actually got a sub-12 ao12, along with pb ao5, so here is that. The solves highlighted in green were the pb ao5, which ended up being 10.60, down from 10.65 so not that big of a jump. Everything was fullstep in these averages. The counting 15 in the ao12 is definitely pretty funny.

[Skewby_Doo]

I decided to do some solves on the TV3 as I switched off of maining it a few months ago and I had the best ao12 of my life. I had 3 sub-10s and a sub-9, which the scramble is utterly insane on, and I got pb ao5 and pb ao12. I somewhat choked out of a sub-10 ao5 having a 10.05 and 2 9s, but it was still pb ao5. This also finally breaks the sub-11 ao12 barrier, which is funny because iirc my last post on here was about breaking sub-12, just to show how unexpected this was. The ao5 was just after and included a few of the ending solves from the ao12. Overall I'm very happy about this, really hoping to break sub-10 ao5 soon, and I'm thinking about switching back to the Tornado.

Did some 4x4 practice today and dropped my Pbs some, excited as they dropped through some big barriers.

Single: 41.74 --> 37.19
Ao5: 50.15 --> 49.67
Ao12: 55.xx --> 51.61
Ao100: Unsure --> 55.06

Overall great, most happy with the single, definitely pretty happy with the ao5 also. For the single i was at Last 2 Centers at 14(I use hoya btw in case that sounds really slow), and usually I'm there around 19-22s, so definitely crazy on that end. I got a free edge during 3-2-3 and had good lookahead, leading into avg f2l and R U R' U' R' F R F' OLL into Rb Perm, so no parity was great. Overall really happy with this, I'm looking forward to competing in 4x4 soon.

Alright I haven't finished a 3x3 ao100 in so long so I did one today, I was really locked in for the first 25 solves and got a sub-12 ao25 which is cool.

[Skewby_Doo]

So I had 2 comps this past weekend after not competing in 6ish months, one of them went really well, the other, not so much.

Saturday - FMC 2024:

I got a 43 mean and a 40 single in January which was pretty good for me and I ended up not being able to beat either of those results at this comp and lost my PR streak after only 5 or 6 comps, which I suppose is my fault for choosing to do two FMC comps with this little time in between, and having another one in two weeks. I was somewhat upset about this but overall not too unhappy because it means there will be less pressure on me in future comps now.


Sunday - See Georgia: Lake Russell B 2024:

Going into this comp I had nothing to lose after the day before and was pretty hyped because I knew I would be competing in most of the rounds in this competition. I'll give an overview of how each round and event went below as well as a photo of my results.

Spoiler: 3x3(Global 12.5)

Rd1(11.85 avg): I didn't have any nerves at all because I knew getting into round 2 would be easy for me and I was able to perform well as such. I went into this comp with a PR single worse than my global avg, and knew that my PRs were outdated. I got a high 11 avg which was good for me as well as a 9.75 single(fullstep on a bad cross) because I turned well.

Rd2(12.78 avg): This was pretty straightforward, I was really nervous as I wanted to make finals and got a plus 2 on a awful solve on one and another awful solve on 2 but I was able to clutch the avg with 2 counting low 11s and still get a somewhat alright avg.

Finals(11.73 avg): I didn't really have anything to lose and I just turned well on alright scrambles after a full say of warming up and competing. I got a solid avg and got another 9, beating the last one by getting a 9.57(also fullstep on a pretty bad cross). Overall I'm happy with 3x3 as my PRs are solid and it was great to compete after a while. I also learned that making finals in GA is considerably easier than in NC lol.

Spoiler: 4x4(Global Low 50)

Going into this comp I was grinding 4x4 a lot and had secured several sub-50 avgs at home and I knew that if I performed I could make finals, so I was pretty nervous for 4x4 but I ended up performing well and getting a solid avg in Rd1 and a really nice avg in finals.
Rd1(49.99 avg barely sub-50 lol): I was pretty nervous here but I got lucky on 5 with no parity and was able to clutch a sub-50 avg despite counting a 53.

Finals(47.78 avg): I was ecstatic after making finals to begin with and I turned nicely in this avg except for solve 4, and I was able to double PR in both rounds which was really nice. Overall 4x4 went great and I was able to meet my goals.

Spoiler: OH(Global 24)

I hadn't practiced OH at all since my last time competing in it in December so I didn't really care how I did which is probably why I did well.
Rd1(22.06 avg): I just turned well in this avg and dropped my PR single by .3 and avg by 2.5 so overall this was exciting.

Finals(23.74 avg): Overall still a pretty good avg but I just didn't do as well as Rd1. For OH I was happy overall as I double PR'ed despite not expecting anything good.

Spoiler: Clock(Global 12)

I don't really care about clock so it went pretty well, I had practiced it even less than OH and didn't even know my PRs, but I think I dropped it by roughly .5, and no PR single.

Rd1(12.20 avg): Just pretty good overall but not great at the end.

Overall comp results:


Other general progress updates and pbs:

I Pb'ed in basically everything that wasn't 2-4 since my last update so you can find those on my(finally) updated pb sheet in my sig. My personal favorite was just doing 5x5 in the car on the way to the comp and getting a 1:33.93 avg which was down from a high 1:48 avg or something like that which was pretty random but definitely exciting. Another notable pb was a 3:33.xx 6x6 single, so I'm getting closer to potentially making cutoff at SEC.

Overall this is a pretty big update and I'm happy with my progress since the last one, as well as having the burden of my PR streak gone even if it is somewhat sad to have lost it.

Overall this is crazy for me and I've wanted to break the sub-10 barrier for so long, I definitely wasn't expecting to do it by so much in one day. The best part about this is that it also beats my friend's 9.88 ao5 so that's great. I'll also add that every single one of these solves in the ao5s were fullstep meaning I just had some crazy turning, but a large part of that was from the crosses just being great and my lookahead being the best I've ever had it.

I had SE FMC Championships this past weekend, I tied my pr single and missed tying PR mean by .33, so overall it was pretty good as the first two scrambles were pretty bad imo and the third was actually pretty good but parts of it made it worse. I got 16th out of 55ish people so not too bad overall. My consistency is also pretty good as all 9 of my official FMC attempts have been successes and sub-50 so I'm pretty proud of that.

I also had a pop while practicing 6x6 before attempt 1(I like to just practice random events, usually 5 before FMC for some reason) which I finally decided to fix today(took me about an hour). The cube felt a bit more broken in after this so I did an ao5 and broke my PB single by a lot and got a pretty good mo3. My turning on solves 4 and 5 of this ao5 was pretty bad but the single dropped from 3:32.xx so it was a huge drop especially given that it had edge and PLL parity(no OLL)

Overall pretty nice update, I think I might be able to make 6 cutoff at SEC if I perform and I tend to do good in comps as long as I don't put too much pressure on myself so I'll try not to do that.

This was a crazy scram and a 4-mover so my turning could have been a lot better but I hesitated in exec due to it being kind of awkward.

Can't believe I got both of these scrambles in the same day and I kinda choked the .72 but still really good times.

A few days before this I actually got a 2.24 ao5 which was down from 2.39 but I reset the session to do my 2x2 RMAo100(15:44.40) but I was able to beat that ao5 today.

The first one was 3:18 but I'm starting to feel like I might make SEC cutoff if I solve well that day.

Also got an ao100 that was sub-22 and won an OH race by doing so(see the race thread between myself and Jdaw for more details.)

Solves 8-12 were pb ao5

Lastly, I purchased the Diansheng FTO and the larger Dayan Pro mega! Looking forward to these, got two blank caps for blind as well, I'm getting more into it.



Pretty big update overall, I'm leaving for SEC tomorrow so looking forward to that as I expect to get 100+ official solves if I do alright.

Edit: Just got my second ever BLD success! My first was really fast due to having 3 or so solved edges but this one was actually similar but had more memo which proves I am getting better! The scramble was still good and It would've beaten my 5:08 but I paused for ~30 seconds before corners to remember if there was parity and I had basically cleared all of edges from my memory so it took me a bit. Overall really happy with this!

So SEC started today, pretty fun comp so far and I will most likely be in every round tomorrow except 3bld rd1 so that'll definitely be fun. Here is a recap so far, and I'll also add that my luck this comp has been crazy, you'll see what I mean after reading.

5x5: I had a very solid single and average, happy with my results and if I practice enough I might even qualify for worlds at Mid-Atlantic if I do this well relative to my global again.
6x6: Just bad overall, making cutoff for me in 6 was probably 50/50, I didn't really perform that well and I got triple parity but somehow messed up the alg entirely beyond fixing it(not the only event this happened lol), was on pace for high 3:30 so not like I would've made it on that solve anyway.
OH: Alright results, I messed up Gd perm twice in this avg out of ~17 on solve one and 5 so that kind of was unfortunate and the pr single was noting too crazy. Overall pretty decent results for OH.
Clock: Idrc about clock but this was a pretty solid avg, beat PR by .3 and got PR2 single, this was pretty good overall.
Mega: Definitely my most crazy avg at this comp so far, I went in avging low 40s and with a pb ao5 of 1:36.xx, I got ovr pb avg by 8 seconds and pb3 single! I was not expecting this at all and did not think I would qualify for mega at worlds anytime soon, so this avg was crazy. I got an OLL skip on solve 4 which completely saved the avg as the rest of that solve was really bad but my LL was probably sub-10 on that one. Overall this was my best performance today by a lot.
Sq-1: This avg was genuinely hilarious, I started out by messing up parity on a 1 slice into all 8 edges lined up CS, leading to a horrendous time, I think I avg high 30s. Solve 2 and 3 were both just really solid turning even with parity, and 4 was just an avg solve. Solve 5 was absolutely bonkers, I started really badly and was on pace for a low 40 or something, and then I got a PBL skip? I've literally never had anything this lucky and I certainly wouldn't expect this to happen officially. The sad thing is, If the rest of the solve leading up to that was the same as my pb single this actually would've been a mid 9, but this was still pb2. I was so confused because I believe this is a ~1/40000 chance, but also kind of bummed about how bad the start of this solve was. Overall still crazy results in this event and mega, tomorrow will be very fun as I will be competing pretty much the whole day.

Alr yesterday I talked about my luck in this comp and today was almost as crazy so here is that. Below are screenshots of all of my results from today, I was in every round except 3BLD Rd1 so that was cool.

3x3: My turning wasn't great this avg although I did get PR3 single on 3, overall just a pretty mid avg but there are more rounds to come.
2x2: I hadn't done this event in comp since December so I was very nervous as I global 3.4 compared to 4.5 at that comp which I think led to me having worse turning. For example, on solve 1 I was at 2 moves to solved at high 1 and somehow got a 5, similar stuff on 2 and 5. Overall pretty mid avg but at least it makes RD2 and was sub-4.
4x4 RD1: This was pretty cool, I think I got 7/10 parity so not crazy overall and the 41 had PLL parity which means it would have been PB2 w/o parity, pretty happy with this avg and my turning was pretty solid, dropped PR single by 3.25 and avg by 1.41.
Pyra RD1: Solid turning and a nice PR single on 3, not much to say here, pretty happy overall as I think I avg high 6.
Pyra RD2: I was kinda upset after choking the first 2 solves but I was able to clutch the last 3 and get a solid avg, which I had no clue would end up making semis as 60th on psych sheet was 5.48 so I was not expecting to get top 60(Rip my friend from home who got 61st), very happy with this actually as I thought I would be done with pyra at this comp.
Skewb RD1: My most crazy event today, along with mega and squan yesterday. I got a 10 mover on solve 1 which I executed pretty well for me and was able to get PB3 single. The rest of the solves were mid up until 5 which was legit a 7 mover which I turned pretty nicely on and dropped overall PB by .6 as I had never had a scram this short before, I think my old pb was an 11 mover in the weekly comp. Very happy with this avg as I global low 8.
Skewb RD2: Very solid overall, pretty good consistency other than the 11, I got a nice PR avg which I am happy with.
Clock RD2: Actually just the most mid avg of all time, nothing bad or good in this avg, all counting solves were basically my global lol. I had a pretty nice PR avg in RD1 so I wasn't expecting to beat it and obviously I wasn't making semis lol.

Overall day 2 was nice! Got PRs in a lot of events and metrics, so far I have gotten 18 PRs at this comp, which is very nice. Day 3 will be fun as it is mostly events that I like, I'll be in roughly half of the rounds tomorrow.

SEC is over! I had a great time. Here is a full recap.

Spoiler: Day 1

So SEC started today, pretty fun comp so far and I will most likely be in every round tomorrow except 3bld rd1 so that'll definitely be fun. Here is a recap so far, and I'll also add that my luck this comp has been crazy, you'll see what I mean after reading.

5x5: I had a very solid single and average, happy with my results and if I practice enough I might even qualify for worlds at Mid-Atlantic if I do this well relative to my global again.
6x6: Just bad overall, making cutoff for me in 6 was probably 50/50, I didn't really perform that well and I got triple parity but somehow messed up the alg entirely beyond fixing it(not the only event this happened lol), was on pace for high 3:30 so not like I would've made it on that solve anyway.
OH: Alright results, I messed up Gd perm twice in this avg out of ~17 on solve one and 5 so that kind of was unfortunate and the pr single was noting too crazy. Overall pretty decent results for OH.
Clock: Idrc about clock but this was a pretty solid avg, beat PR by .3 and got PR2 single, this was pretty good overall.
Mega: Definitely my most crazy avg at this comp so far, I went in avging low 40s and with a pb ao5 of 1:36.xx, I got ovr pb avg by 8 seconds and pb3 single! I was not expecting this at all and did not think I would qualify for mega at worlds anytime soon, so this avg was crazy. I got an OLL skip on solve 4 which completely saved the avg as the rest of that solve was really bad but my LL was probably sub-10 on that one. Overall this was my best performance today by a lot.
Sq-1: This avg was genuinely hilarious, I started out by messing up parity on a 1 slice into all 8 edges lined up CS, leading to a horrendous time, I think I avg high 30s. Solve 2 and 3 were both just really solid turning even with parity, and 4 was just an avg solve. Solve 5 was absolutely bonkers, I started really badly and was on pace for a low 40 or something, and then I got a PBL skip? I've literally never had anything this lucky and I certainly wouldn't expect this to happen officially. The sad thing is, If the rest of the solve leading up to that was the same as my pb single this actually would've been a mid 9, but this was still pb2. I was so confused because I believe this is a ~1/40000 chance, but also kind of bummed about how bad the start of this solve was. Overall still crazy results in this event and mega, tomorrow will be very fun as I will be competing pretty much the whole day.

Spoiler: Day 2

Alr yesterday I talked about my luck in this comp and today was almost as crazy so here is that. Below are screenshots of all of my results from today, I was in every round except 3BLD Rd1 so that was cool.

3x3: My turning wasn't great this avg although I did get PR3 single on 3, overall just a pretty mid avg but there are more rounds to come.
2x2: I hadn't done this event in comp since December so I was very nervous as I global 3.4 compared to 4.5 at that comp which I think led to me having worse turning. For example, on solve 1 I was at 2 moves to solved at high 1 and somehow got a 5, similar stuff on 2 and 5. Overall pretty mid avg but at least it makes RD2 and was sub-4.
4x4 RD1: This was pretty cool, I think I got 7/10 parity so not crazy overall and the 41 had PLL parity which means it would have been PB2 w/o parity, pretty happy with this avg and my turning was pretty solid, dropped PR single by 3.25 and avg by 1.41.
Pyra RD1: Solid turning and a nice PR single on 3, not much to say here, pretty happy overall as I think I avg high 6.
Pyra RD2: I was kinda upset after choking the first 2 solves but I was able to clutch the last 3 and get a solid avg, which I had no clue would end up making semis as 60th on psych sheet was 5.48 so I was not expecting to get top 60(Rip my friend from home who got 61st), very happy with this actually as I thought I would be done with pyra at this comp.
Skewb RD1: My most crazy event today, along with mega and squan yesterday. I got a 10 mover on solve 1 which I executed pretty well for me and was able to get PB3 single. The rest of the solves were mid up until 5 which was legit a 7 mover which I turned pretty nicely on and dropped overall PB by .6 as I had never had a scram this short before, I think my old pb was an 11 mover in the weekly comp. Very happy with this avg as I global low 8.
Skewb RD2: Very solid overall, pretty good consistency other than the 11, I got a nice PR avg which I am happy with.
Clock RD2: Actually just the most mid avg of all time, nothing bad or good in this avg, all counting solves were basically my global lol. I had a pretty nice PR avg in RD1 so I wasn't expecting to beat it and obviously I wasn't making semis lol.

Overall day 2 was nice! Got PRs in a lot of events and metrics, so far I have gotten 18 PRs at this comp, which is very nice. Day 3 will be fun as it is mostly events that I like, I'll be in roughly half of the rounds tomorrow.

Today(Day 3):

2x2 RD2: Pretty nive avg, beat my global by 0.1 which is hard as I turn badly in sprint events officially. Happy with this.
5x5 RD2: This was alright, I accidentally did a slice move during 3x3 stage and didn't notice so I missed out on PR single and got an avg avg overall.
Pyra RD3: I wasn't expecting to make semis so this round was kind of a bonus round for me, but I actually did really nicely. Pretty good consistency and a sub-6 average. I was very happy with this.
3x3 RD2: Solid avg, PR by 0.69 and just decent overall. If I didn't get an E perm on 5 this would've been sub-11.
OH RD2: Decent avg, pretty happy with this round.
4x4 RD2: I got 7/8 parity on solves 1-4 so I was kind of upset as the average was dead, but I sent it on 5 and got PB3 single! I wanted a sub-40 going into the comp and was happy to achieve it on my last attempt.
2x2 RD3: Bad average, corner twist on one and plus 2 on 4, just not good overall.
3x3 RD3: Mid avg and plus 2 on 2, although I ended the whole comp on a high note with a PR single by 0.66 on 5, which I am happy with but I could've gotten a low seven if my turning was good.

4x4:

5x5:

3x3:

Overall thoughts:
This was definitely one of my favorite comps and I did amazing overall. Here are 2 cool statistics that show that.

• 23 PRs, I did 11 events so an avg of ~2 PRs per event, which is vey good.
• I completed 105 official solves at this competition, the most of any of my comps and I am at 302 official solves now.

Lastly, this cool moment happened while I was racing my friend to warm up for 2x2 semis(My timer is on top):

weyer moment

 

[Skewby_Doo]

So a few months ago I started learning CLL and learned the H and Sune cases, I forgot the sune ones but still regularly use and get good times with with H cases. I have Mid-Atlantic champs in October and I want to fully learn CLL by then and(hopefully?) get a sub-3 avg in comp to qualify for phase 2 at worlds. I re-learned the Sune cases yesterday and I learned the antisune cases today which puts me at 18/42 including adj and diag swaps. Not really sure which set to learn next so any advice from better solvers would be appreciated. I am leaving for a week-long BSA camp on Sunday so I will have to put a pause on practice but I might take the QiYi MS just to drill algs on the way there. Another goal that I would like to set for Mid-Atlantics is to maybe get a sub-1:30 5x5 avg and qualify for my 9th event at worlds by doing so. I got a 1:37 avg at SEC so this seems doable, also got pb single today by 2 seconds:
