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

Ok. I did a mean of 10 for each step, so how proficient would you say I am for each thing?

Cross: 4.19 seconds
F2L: 10.78 seconds
OLL: 3.24 seconds
PLL: 5.54 seconds

Total: 23.75 seconds

You need to drop your times for oll and pll. Full PLL and advanced 2-side recognition for this step will allow you to drop your times.
Also, the cross needs to drop by 2 seconds. No good cross=no good solve.
F2L is fine for now, but just keep chipping away at the times.

Cross: Get that sub-2.5
F2L: Fine, improve on that later
OLL: Okay for 2-Look
PLL: LET'S FIX THAT FIRST

If you can get to this:

Cross: 2.5
F2L: 10.0
OLL: 3.0
PLL: 3.0

That is 18.50 (-5.25)

More advanced topics (like grinding cross, 2LLL, F2L Effiency, etc.) could get you here:

Cross: 1.3
F2L: 7.2
OLL: 2.1
PLL: 1.9

(These are my splits)

= 11.5 (-12.25)

Ok I decided to do 50 solves to get a better idea of my average. But, my cube keeps locking up and there is a lot of friction so I am thinking of taking it apart and lubing and cleaning it. I'll also mostly be grinding cross and PLL in the coming days. Here's my average:

I've been working on PLLs and I know 11 so far. I don't think I'll learn the g perms for now but I'm going to list the ones I know and how long they take approximately:

Aa - 2.5 seconds
Ab - 3 seconds
Jb - 2.5 seconds
T - 2.5 seconds
E - 3.5 seconds
Na - 4.5 seconds
Y - 3.25 seconds
H - 2 seconds
Ua - 2 seconds
Ub - 2 seconds
Z - 2.5 seconds

 

[baseballjello67]

All of these should be at least 1-1.5 seconds faster, so work on that.

you can get here from just learning better fingertricks and grinding. This also works for OLL:

A perms - 0.6-0.8
Jb - 0.8
T - 0.8
E - 1.5
Na - 2.0
Y - 1.5
H - 1.0
U perms - 0.6-0.8
Z - 1.2

Z - 1.2

Alright, thanks! I also need to set up my cube (clean it and relube it) because I keep getting lockups (and there is a ton of friction) so I can probably get a tiny bit faster after that. I was wondering, do you think I should change my A perms to righty moves if I'm not very good with my left hand? I just kind of don't want to learn more algs after I've already memorized some.

Just got a 48 second OH solve in the weekly comp! New PB!

I've been grinding 3x3 and idk why I'm so bad at cross but whatever and for some reason last layer is still really slow as well. My F2L is consistently 9-12 seconds when I time it separately but it seems much slower in an actual solve.

On another note I ordered the cubes and when they come and I actually learn how to solve them I will probably post some goals for the comp.

What do y'all think some reasonable goals for learning 5x5, Pyraminx, and Clock in one week would be though?

you could prob get like sub 18 on pyra pretty quick depending on which one youre getting. idk about the others, i dont practice them.

Just got an 18 second single and 22 second average on the weekly comp! Also getting impatient waiting for my cubes to come, it says they should arrive on Tuesday, but last time they came a few days early so idk. I've just been so bored lately lol

5x5: 3:00??
Pyra: 15
Clock: 20 (30 with a shengshou)

5x5: 3:00??
Pyra: 15

Ok, thanks. I was just wanting under 5 minutes for 5x5, and am not too invested in getting super fast at the moment. For pyraminx, I was hoping to average around 12 seconds at least and learn l4e, and for clock maybe the 20 second range. I'll also have a lot of free time to practice lol.
