slow cubers

[That_slow_guy]

Is anyone else slow? Tell me

Why does this thread exist? Serious question, if you want to know someone's speed, look at their progress thread, or write a profile post, or just start a private conversation. Also, what do you define as "slow"? Is this 3x3 only, or not?

I can solve the cube sub20 but people always compare you to the world record so it's hard to consider yourself fast with so many good solvers around the world.
I'm not an elite solver so I don't consider myself fast

I think this is a very difficult question. It would obviously take into account what you define as "slow". I think @cuber314159's signature is similar to how I feel: 'I will never be fast because as I get faster I will change my definition of fast so it is always faster than me'. When I was averaging 30, what I average now is unfathomable and would be very fast. However, even after much improvement, I can still see weaknesses in my solves and can see a lot of room for improvement which is why I still consider myself slow.

I define slow as averaging 3x3 over 30 seconds probably.

A difficult question to answer. I consider myself slow, but most people definitely disagree with that. I think it depends on your goals, I consider myself slow because I'm comparing myself to the top cubers. I'll only stop considering myself slow if I can go to the WCA rankings page and see my name without scrolling down.

I guess you can compare the question with your goals

non-cubers think I'm fast. I think I'm slow. Being sub-30 is like top-100000, which sucks. I compare my times to the WRs and admit I'm very slow.

My friends average 1:30 but I average 30 so they say, “wow, you’re so fast!” Me:

I’m fast in mega compared to other events but I’m still like 633 in the world.

I agree. But I don’t think anybody is inherently slow. I think everybody just is at their own point in their cubing journey, and you should never, never consider yourself slow. Just know there is always room for improvement. Even yiheng doesn’t know all the tricks in the book.

This. I also consider myself slow, but I used to consider 8 seconds fast. Right now, I think @gsingh is fast, but by the time I'm as close to sub 7 as he is right now, I'll definitely have changed my mind on that. I honestly don't think I'll ever consider myself fast.

Even If I looked at their prog thread or something I wouldn’t know if they thing they’re slow or fast. If I saw @gsingh times I would think he’d fast, but he thinks he’s slow because he’s comparing himself to top speed cubers.

Then how do you describe fast? I think I’m slow, but my aunt thinks I’m super fast. How do you define this?

Maybe it would be based on a cuber’s perspective about your speed, not a non-cuber. Cuber’s can actually define if they’re slow or not, cuber’s opinions are more accurate than a non-cuber.

It’s if you think, YOU think your fast

 

[Bingus cuber]

If you want to know if someone thinks that they are slow, state that more clearly! You are just asking if we’re slow, but actually define slow so we can answer the question!

Slow cubers = "look me i'm fast!"
Fast cubers = "i'm so slow, have to practice more..."
@JDAW6 = "I AM SPEEEEED" (proceeds to post fake video)
