The SpeedSkewber's Progression | comp day help

[TheSpeedSkewber]

The cutoff times for the comp are quite harsh, but i am pleased to say i have a 1:55 mega ao25!

The cutoff for mega is 1:45, and i have a sub 1:45 ao5, but i just need to hope nerves dont get to me. I will be practicing mega thurther, though.

Spoiler: The ao25

You should get some tutoring from @Garf he got me to averaging 1:30 on mega.

You should get some tutoring from @Garf he got me to averaging 1:30 on mega.

Thanks for the suggestion, but don't want to make him do something that i wouldnt be fully committed to.

If i need tips i can always get them from the megaminx discord

Been practicing 5x5 today -

Went from averaging 4:10 to comfortably 2:55-3:05.

I'm using redux with freeslice, and i'm only just seeing the start of diminishing returns compared to normal edge pairing. To be honest, i find freeslice recog quite hard, but im sure it will come with practice, like F2L.

The cutoff for the comp is very harsh - 2:00 flat.

I dont know if i can manage that, but i will try, as big cubes are something that i have for the most part ignored up until now.

For 5x5, i used to use a wacky self made intuitive method for the edges that took about 2 minutes on it's own, so i'm only just getting used to making bars, as well.

At the moment i'm just using commutators for 4lll CP; this isn't good.

I asked on the megaminx discord (#potatobeansyeah if you wondering) if learning the proper algs was worth it andthey said definitely [just not 5 corner swaps].

I also havent finished with CO, which i forgot about, hah.

My current average is 1:52ish.

After nearly 2 hours - 11.34 3x3 average of 5. One sub 10 and a sub 11 which is insane for me. There was a 17 in there as well, lol.

6.35 Average (slightly faster than global)

Watch "6.35 Average (slightly faster than global)" on Streamable.

I went from averaging 11 to 6.7 in a few days, so i can't complain.

The attached video is what a usual average looks life for me, tips would be appreciated. I know i need to work on prediction, layers and fubgertricks atm.

You can easily be Sub-5 with more practice. Layer effiency could be better, watch example solves and remember to try to insert two pieces at the same time, not just one. TPS could also use some work, but fingertricks are good. Recognition could definitely be improved. To recognize the U Perm, you took 1.5-2 seconds, but it should take you 0.5.

Registered for Wiltshire February 2024!

I will be competing in all 5 events including

7x7 - 7 Minute average
6x6 - 4-5 Minute Average
Megaminx - 1:45 Average
3x3 One Handed - 32 Average
3x3! - 15 second average

I am FINALLY competing in 3x3 after 4 competitions!

Wiltshire December sort of serves as a warm-up for Wiltshire February as i have Megaminx and 5x5 which is just smaller 6x6 and 7x7 without triple parity.
