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

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

Got some PBs:

Clock: 9.20
2x2 BLD: 23.51
4x4: 1:08.97

I'm hoping there will be some more comps in my area soon (I believe there will) so I want to improve most in events I can do well in. So, mostly clock and pyraminx, but also 3x3 and 4x4. I also might set a goal to learn 3x3 Blind if a comp I sign up for has it.

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

I just constructed a correct 3x3 Blind solution! Now I just have to learn how to memorize and execute blindfolded lol. My memory is actually horrible though so it's going to be a struggle

First 3x3 BLD success! The scramble was pretty easy and I had to write down the letters first, but it's progress!

My depressing 2nd 3BLD attempt. Still have to write the letters down first but I think my ability to recall the letters is getting better and more natural.

You're getting close. You'll get it soon! Hopefully I can learn blind too. I'm just going to wait till after western championship.

You're getting close. You'll get it soon! Hopefully I can learn blind too. I'm just going to wait till after western championship.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm just scared for when I'm not able to write the letters down first . I think blind became a lot easier once I fully understood the concept, and the memo just takes practice.

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

Yes, a 3BLD success! Still writing letters first, I might time myself soon.

First legitimate 3BLD attempt, without writing letters first. It was pretty close, I was off by like 2 edges and 2 corners.

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

Learned the Rb-perm, still need to learn like 6 more PLLs lol. Don't know why I haven't already, probably would make my times better. Also read on another thread that it is better to use your left hand for OH, (if you're right handed, which I am) but I've been using my right. So I'm going to try switching hands and practicing a little.
