My responses to PCMS as a sub 25 columns first solver:

M slice DNFs: there is a reason why my last step is PLL over something akin to LSE (Though I'm learning for fun).

Awkward fingertricks: I agree on this. Columns compromises efficiency with manageability often, making it a bit harder than with something like CFOP per se

L8E: Look at my reason for M slice DNFs

Big cubes. L5EOP is helpful in 3x3 stage.

The big one for me is look ahead. Cubies have more places to be, so they are harder to track.

Well since it got leaked I guess I might as well post it here:
Yes this is a joke. I will be uploading the actual video some time in the next couple months or so.

I started doing events a couple of videos ago: here's video 3 of it:
[\spoiler]
Number 2 is so true.
I've had two corner twists officially: 1 was my first solve ever, 1:40 or something, on a thunderclap.
Second was a 47 on a GAN Air, and it cost me winning the competition, a mid 30 single, and a top 100 solve.

Still, one of my favorite events.


Glad to see videos are back up!
