SpeedCubeLegend's Progression Thread | Aiming for Sub-10 3x3, Sub-5 Pyraminx | Upcoming Comp!

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

I've been practicing a lot of 3x3, but I don't know if I'd say I'm sub-30 yet. At any given time my ao5 and ao12 are usually sub-30, and I just got my ao100 to under 30 seconds. I feel like I need to work on last layer because I usually finish F2L at 20 seconds or sooner, yet my times are high 20s or low 30s most of the time.

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

New best ao5! 24.33 seconds!

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

Thank you to everyone who voted. I think I've decided to do 3x3, Pyraminx, 5x5, and Clock. I think it'll be fun to try a ton of new events but I'll hold off on Square-1 for now. Hopefully my mom won't get mad when I tell her I want to spend 30 more dollars on new cubes

The V2 M? Because the nonmagnetic one has horrible reviews

yea the v2

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

yea the v2

Ok! Thanks for the recommendation!

PB mo3 and ao5 (3x3)! 22.05 and 22.43 seconds respectively!

I'm really hoping to get a sub-30 average at comp. My averages at my first comp were 30 in the first round and 32 in the second round, but hopefully I'm less nervous this time because I was literally shaking during my solves last time.

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

Ok but I am literally so mad because I have never gotten a sub-20 single but I've gotten 5 20 second solves.

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

I'm literally so happy I just got my first sub-20 single (19.03)!! It was also fullstep, here's the scramble:

D2 L U L2 U B2 D L2 U B2 L2 U2 R2 U2 L' U F' L U' R D' (for some reason I can't figure out how to attach exported cstimer times and scrambles but whatever)

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

PB mo3! I think I can also officially say that I am sub-30!

For some reason I've started averaging mid-20s (I'm really happy though), idk what I'm doing differently. Also almost got an 18 second solve if it weren't for an E-perm.

I'm kind of second guessing doing 5x5 now because I'm already not great at 4x4. I average 2 1/2 minutes (on 4x4) and the time limit for 5x5 at the comp is 2:45... I'm thinking it's a bad idea, so I'm probably just going to do 3x3, Pyraminx and Clock, and try to get better at those rather than do just okay on a lot of events.

CLOCK DOES NOT MATTER. DO 5x5

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

CLOCK DOES NOT MATTER. DO 5x5

Do you think I should still try it with how slow I am at 4x4? And would you recommend that I don't do clock at all?

 

[baseballjello67]

You can get sub-20 on clock in 1 day. Do clock. (Get a QiYi)

The only problem is that I have to buy cubes myself and a QiYi is too expense, so I was just going to get a ShengShou and set it up.

 

[baseballjello67]

That's also good, but you might not get sub-20 or even sub-25 in a weeek with it. Trust me, save up for a QiYi. The ShengShou isn't terrible, but it isn't comparable to the Qiyi in any way.
