yes cubing, fred and kivvi race to sub-15 3x3 global

[yes cubing]

Me and @Fred have decided to race to sub-15 global on 3x3.
I average about 20.3-5, and regularly getting sub-20 ao5s. My current ao100 is 20.73, but that's because my hands were cold earlier.

Fred's current ao100 is 19.27. His best ao100 is 19.03. He's also trying to become color neutral, and his best and current ao100 on non-white/yellow is 21.78.

@Kivvi 's best ao100 is 18.74 and his current one is 19.24, and he is definitely not going to be colour-neutral anytime soon.

Are you dual colour neutral? If not I would definitely recommend switching.

 

[Kivvi]

@bldcuber314 I solve on yellow and white, it's just that I'm completly trash at every other colour.

I got an 18:50 ao5 on non white/yellow. My next few solves were much worse. I think the excitement killed my lookahead, so I need to remember to focus on slower, smoother solving.

I also recently learned the RU U perms. Originally it was for OH, but I really like them for two-handed solving too.

 

[Fred]

Some more non white/yellow progress: 17.99 ao5, 19.00 ao12, and 21.17 ao100.

 

[yes cubing]

I was doing let's cube earlier with my friends and I had a 16 mean at one point I swear I averaged 20 2 weeks ago and I suddenly average 16-17

I average 16-17 now too, planning my first f2l pair during inspection helps way more than I thought it would

 

[Kivvi]

Competition is tomorrow, let’s see how close I’ll get to a sub 15 average =D

 

[Fred]

@Kivvi has won this race, but I still want to improve. I got some new PBs today: 15:26 Ao5, 16:51 Ao12, and 18:00 Ao100.

Edit: 14.92 official single today! and 16.45 average.

 

[Fred]

I got my first official sub-15 average: 14.63, but that's definitely better than my global. My other two averages today were 16s. @yes cubing now has a 15.03 PR average. We're getting close!
