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

3x3: 14-15
5x5: 2:10-2:20
BLD: Sub-1:20
OH: 35
Mega: 1:30

3x3: 14
5x5: Sub-2:00 if you practice a lot.
3BLD: Idk
OH: 35-40
Megaminx: 1:30

This sounds like Central Washington Odds 2023. I might try going to this comp, just to beat my average in 5x5, get solves in for 7x7 and megaminx, and just try to get a sub-10 ao5 for 3x3.

Yep, it is. It'd be cool to meet you there. Also I have the YJ Yuhu V2 megaminx.

The Yuhu is a good Megaminx. It carried me to sub-1:10, which was when I got the Dayan Megaminx.
Well, make sure your solutions for each pair are good, learn 4LLL, and that you are looking ahead. It is kinda hard to lookahead for megaminx, which is why I recommend that you do slow solves to help have good megaminx lookahead.

Alright, thanks for the advice. I'm planning on learning 4LLL soon, and I've been doing tons of solves, but I should probably do more slow solves.
 
First sub-1:30 on megaminx!

Alright, I'm probably going to update this thread consistently with averages for each comp event, and then possibly some other scattered results. For some reason I've been doing really good at 3x3 lately, with consistent 15 second solves. I'm going to learn full OLL, some megaminx last layer algs, OH PLL algs, and Orozco for BLD corners.
 
Totally unexpected 3x3 PB single. Turning was a little locky but with a PLL skip and easy pairs.
