Thank you so much for making this amazing video! I have a comp in august 10th and i generally get very nervous at comps, i average mid-8 at home but i barely can get 11 second averages at comp due to getting nervous + cunfuse green and orange colors. The main consequence with that is getting the green-orange egde flipped after "finishing" F2L, but also getting green and orange cross pieces swaped and having to swap them after the F2L with S' M' U M U2 S, and miss-recognizing very easy to recognize PLLs. One exemple of that is on my last comp, i was doing the first solve of 3x3 R1 and the solve was going ok, until i reached PLL, i got a E perm (not very easy to recognize but whatever) but somehow i thought it was a Nb perm, them i did the alg and while i was doing it i saw that it was wrong and i had to do a Z perm afterwards and i ended up getting a 14.06. The first time i redid the scramble i got 5.8x. But i am hoping that if i follow this guide the week before the comp i will get better results, and mainly have fun in the competition. Thank you again for the video and i defenively would recomend this guide to anyone!
Nice tips! A few thoughts: -If your backpack contains only cubing equipment, do you carry another backpack for the other stuff, e.g., snacks, medicines and first aid, charger, cords, and batteries? -Do you do your practice routine on every event? For example, I would have a hard time reviewing algs on 3x3, 2x2, 6x6, Megaminx, Pyraminx, and Clock on the same day. -Is packing and driving or flying to the comp part of your Friday routine of "doing something else"? If not, where does that fit?
Yes carry another backpack, that’s what I do I would practice routine every event, so that your the most comfortable when solving, or you can just review for you main events Yeah travel would be a way to focus on something else than cubing Hope these tips help!!
@@CuberCaiden probably to not cube the day before the comp, cause I used to learn new algs the day before but that just gave me worse results than I would have gotten if I didn’t learn anything new.
Great video! I think you gave some great advice about starting to prepare the week before. I also think I should get those handwarmers. Also do you think you will be at Lakewood Newcomers 2024?
I have 13 3x3s… I have a skewb, two mirror cubes, 2 4x4s one 5x5, 1 pyraminx, 1 axis cube, one megaminx and one windmill cube. I think i have a ball cube, and a couple other cubes.
@@CuberCaiden lol. I made my own force cubes just yesterday and it took forever. I have six QiYi cubes, a Gan 11m pro, a Gan 13 uv coat, a gan 356i, a moyu rs3m 2020 and a moyu rs3m 2021, a moyu super rs3m, and a YJ MG C EVO v2. I will never be able to solve the axis cube though 🤣
@@CuberCaiden Gan is top tier, I love the super rs3m though. QiYi was surprisingly good but i dont trust it enough to be my main. I used to be really good with the 11m pro but I lubed it and the stardust lube made it feel sandy and slow. I’m probably going to clean it off soon and find a different lube. Probably weight 1-2 or i’ll try martian. Im going to wait a little bit but i might buy the gan 14 😬 i hope it’s good to me or that’s $80 ill never get back lol.
Thanks! Yeah it took a while to make sure I had all the best tips, and package them in the best way possible! What was your favorite thing you learned!?
Also in my next comp tacoma winter twister 2023 I'm gonna first compete with the wrm v9 which my settings are super loose so I'm terrified of corner twists and +2's

Hope these tips help!!
The fact I did none of this, and I still got averages faster than at home...
That’s crazy and funny 😆
this is super helpful as i haven't been to a comp before and probably will go soon.
Yes! Hopefully this motivates you to go, and get great results!
This video was great. the tips were amazing!
For sure! Glad you loved it! What tip do you think will be the most impactful on your comp solves!?
@@CuberCaiden probably to not cube the day before the comp, cause I used to learn new algs the day before but that just gave me worse results than I would have gotten if I didn’t learn anything new.
I have one feb 18 biggest comp this year in canada 350 compititors hyped
350 competitors is a HUGE competition! That’s pretty crazy you’re going to have so much fun!
@@CuberCaiden yessi
Thanks for this! I would have had a comp tomorrow but it got canceled lol. I have one next week though, so thanks for all the tips!
For sure! Glad I could help! Sorry about the comp getting cancelled, but good luck for your upcoming one!
My comp is at the end of June, I don't need a hand warmer in summer
Yeah that’s true 😂
I canceled my chance at going to Tacoma for personal reasons, so, no comps for months for me, free practice at least.
Can you put a link to the hand warmers? It'd help me out greatly in the future, I always have cold hands.
For sure! Sorry I saw this so late, but I will add it right now!
Great video! I think you gave some great advice about starting to prepare the week before. I also think I should get those handwarmers. Also do you think you will be at Lakewood Newcomers 2024?
Sadly probably not, I will have to see though!
thank you! i have a comp in march, it will be my first
Oh yeah! That’s super exciting! Good luck and have fun!
Thank you my next comp is in four weeks and I am super excited for it. l Also have the same handwriting btw
Haha that’s funny. Yeah good luck at the comp, hope this helps you perform INSANELY

That sounds just like my collection, lots of 3x3’s and like 1 or 2 of every thing else 😂

Thanks! Yeah it took a while to make sure I had all the best tips, and package them in the best way possible! What was your favorite thing you learned!?
amazing video, new sub!
Thanks! Road to 2K!
i remember when "mains and goals" cubing videos were pretty popular back in 2016, we should bring those back!
LETS DO IT 😄
In odd olympia 2023 I didn't practice on stackmat at all so I dnfed because I deleted the solve before the judge wrote down the time ):
Dang that has happened to so many people I know, super sad
Also in my next comp tacoma winter twister 2023 I'm gonna first compete with the wrm v9 which my settings are super loose so I'm terrified of corner twists and +2's
@@jongwonlee5589 Thats how I was with my first comp with the v9
@CuberCaiden I just finished the comp and I dnf because of a v perm and messed up a pr average and didn't make it into finals.....yay
I love this new era of Caiden Lee content!
Let’s goo! Me too 😂 I love making this type of content so much, and I am super motivated to keep doing it!
nice video man
Glad you enjoyed it, what was your favorite tip/part?
Loved the video. I am going in a comp after 5 days, and this one video definitely will help. Peace out!!!😀😀😀
Thanks!! Good luck at your competition!!
Thank you!!!
Do you know if there are any wca rules on types of stackmat timers?
Yeah only speed stacks timers, and time base timers are allowed in wca competition.
What city do you live in?
Tri cities, I am hosting a comp there in 1 week as well!
@@CuberCaiden nice I love tri cities! I love the weather over there especially! It is so warm all year and doesn't rain or snow so much!
@@CuberCaidenI might have to go to that comp, would be my first one
Thanks!
For sure!
Thank you so much! I have a comp on Saturday and this is what I needed.
Let’s go me too! Good luck and hope this video helps a ton!
Bros sponsored by speedcubeshop, and yet uses the cubicle backpack 😂
He’s not sponsored by speedcubeshop lol
@@David-Speedcuber0 if you had seen his shorts before he deleted them all, then you would see that yes he is sponsored
@@Corner_twisted but it doesn’t say in his description or anything
@@David-Speedcuber0 i never said anything about the description tho, it was in his old shorts
I don’t work with them anymore, for a couple reasons, so I am definitely a cubicle fan now!
Ive gone to 3 comps
I've gone to one
good luck!!
Thank you! The upcoming comp vlog will be CRAZY!
