16.67 FTO XWR Ao5 (Alt Angle)
updated
Got this in finals of Be Quick in Brunswick 2023, the first 3 had some lockups, but I’m very happy with the last 2! This placed me 4th place, my best 3x3 ranking ever! I only missed podium by 0.14, so hopefully I can get a 3x3 podium eventually.
Then on the last solve I got a 28.76 which was counting! This one wasn’t as lucky as the other one so I would consider it a “better solve”.
I was able to get a 32.64 PR average which is nice!
Can definitely improve my average by a bit, but I’m happy with this single!
CubingUSA Nationals 2023 Round 2
It's about time lol, I've been trying for sub 5 since 2019, but my nerves were so bad back then because sub 5 would have meant NAR which added a whole lot of pressure. Since covid and the clock records dropping beyond my reach my nerves have gotten substantially better which has allowed me to break PRs even though I am not quite as fast as I was at my peak in 2019/2020. I went into this comp with very little practice in any event as I had tendonitis in my arm leading up to this comp, so this was particularly unexpected. Even though my turning wasn't very great, and the scrambles definitely carried this average, I am proud to have not only made finals, but have gotten my first official sub 5 average, especially after the DNF on solve 2! Even though I never got my ultimate goal of NAR, it's very satisfying to finally accomplish the goal of a sub 5 average I had set for myself over 4 years ago!

Comments:
Scramble didn't seem super good at first, didn't find much, and only had a 26 to E with like 15 minutes left, but I found this DR and was able to pull out a 20 right at the end!
Really happy with this, Tied overall PB and PR mean, excited to see what I can get in the future.
Corrections:
5:00 meant to say 22 to 3e + e slice, but it was 21 to 3e + e so I was wrong either way lmao

I’m so happy to finally get sub 2, glad I was able to keep it together after the 3.
8.36, 7.88, 9.90, 8.17, 9.30
Done at NAC 2022
Honestly really happy with this even with the +2, and now I kinda have a goal to work towards (sub 8.14). Super happy I was able to make finals for sq-1 and 2x2, making up for missing clock finals with my worst clock average in years. This comp overall was a lot of fun, and I am glad I was able to see a bunch of friends I hadn’t seen in years. Can’t wait for more comps to come, and hopefully some good sq-1 results in the future as well!
Also you can hear everyone in the background freaking out about Elijah’s 7.80 sq-1 average, which is a pretty crazy average, congrats to him!
This brings my oh average world rank from 2032 to 780, and gets me into the top 80 for sum of ranks!
Lin method NAR I think.
Yay I was hoping to get at least 1 sub 10 average and I ended up with this + another one, and also 2 10 averages, only had 1 parity out of 20 solves in total at the comp, and it was on the 15. Not quite sure if I mistraced or not because I screwed up the cubeshape, but I'm glad I was able to not let that first solve affect the average. Also my turning throughout the comp on square-1 was pretty bad, that is something I definitely have to work on.
Winning average at CubingUSA Northeast Championship 2022, I got Northeast Champion in 2019, and now again in 2022! I definitely wasn't expecting this, but I am super excited to have gotten Northeast Champion for the 2nd time in a row. Also maybe a sub 5 fail because of the cube drop on the 5.35 but I don't really care, hopefully I'll be able to get sub 5 at some point in the future.
I thought I needed a sub 14 on the last solve which is why I was kinda disappointed at first lol.
Also 0:44 youtube.com/watch?v=EIunmdO6wR4, I kinda said it backwords though lmao

This is the fastest time I was able to get, but I think I could get it down to a low 1.1 or high 1.0 with perfect execution, but someone with really good tps could maybe sub 1 it. If you can beat this time let me know and send me a video.

note: at 3:46 I was referring to the only alg you execute from that angle being the pure 2 flip alg, the way I worded it made it sound like I was referring to the cw even case, just wanted to clear this up.
