Okay what the actual flip

Sorry I kinda disappeared, school is making me slowly die inside. Been getting Sub-17s more consistently on 3x3, averaging around 16-17. Still need to start learning 3-style for BLD and the final G perm.

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

Quick question if anyone sees this, but what should my OH times optimally be if I average 16-17 seconds on 3x3?

 

[Kaedenthecuber]

2 times of your 3x3 times if you practice OH enough

so lets say you are perfect at OH and average 16.5 on 3x3.
16.5 x 2 = 33
but some people can get their OH times to be 1.9 times their 3x3 times so lets say you can do that
16.5x1.9=31.35
so your optimal OH times would be low 31s unless you get better at 3x3

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

So 32-34 seconds? I average 50 . I need to practice OH more

 

[Kaedenthecuber]

So 32-34 seconds? I average 50 . I need to practice OH more

its not that hard. just do a few hundred solves and you will be ok

About 29 imo

About 29 imo

That's better than my PB, I better get to practicing

Ok, it's the new year so here's a compilation of my goals. I also got a megaminx, skewb, and square-1 for Christmas. I love megaminx, and I average 2:10 with a PB of 1:39. Skewb is meh, I average like 18 (I know I suck) with a PB of 5. And I still don't understand how to solve a squan but whatever.

I will probably set more goals later in the year, but these are more short-term I guess.

I want to focus the most on 3x3, 3BLD, Megaminx, and Pyraminx. I might change them if I go to a comp with certain events.

I average 11 on 3x3 and 20 on OH, but if you seriously practice OH than it can be 1.5-1.6 times your 3x3 times.

Do you think just doing solves will get me sub-40? Or do you think the fact that I use 4LLL will slow me down too much?

Sooo... I finally finished PLL. Also got an insane 3x3 ao5. Done on Twisty Timer so idk how to add the scrambles.

ao5: 13.90

Yeah, for sure.

If I do 4LLL then I average 13 on 3x3 and 27 on OH.

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

Yeah, for sure.

If I do 4LLL then I average 13 on 3x3 and 27 on OH.

Alright, I better start practicing

I just registered for a comp in March! It will be my first comp in 8 months, and will also mark a year of cubing for me. I'm doing 3x3, 5x5, 3BLD, 3x3 OH, and Megaminx. I'm so happy that there's megaminx and 3BLD. But it'll be kinda weird having an official 5x5 average before 4x4 average, because the last time I competed in 4x4 was in June and I had just learned how to solve, so I didn't even make the time limit.

What do y'all think I can average by the time it rolls around? Here are my current averages:

3x3: 16 seconds
5x5: 2:55
3BLD: 1:30
3x3 OH: 50 seconds
Megaminx: 1:50
