Tips? Comments? Reconstructions? Sub-10 is solve # 9.

[Noahaha]

Congrats!!! I loved your commentary in the inspection lol.

I can't believe you looked at the timer after F2L and didn't completely fail and pop or something. I'm working on reconstructing but my video downloader was taking too long to get the whole video converted. I found some unbelievably easy F2Ls but I couldn't find one that ended in R U R' U' R' F R F' -> A perm.

(9.42) B2 L2 R2 U' F2 R2 D R2 D' R2 D2 L D' R' D L U2 F' U2 F2 L2

Yellow on top and orange in front.

y' D' R D U L U L
U' y R U2 R'

leaves two pairs in U, but I don't think that's what you did. Have you reconstructed this yet?

[Jaycee]

Yeah, looking back I see that I have my eyes on the timer during the whole A-Perm (which was very slow ). Lucky me!

Reconstruction

Xcross was y' D' R D U L U L.
Then easy second pair by U' R' U R2 U R'
Then I messed up when I did y U' R U R' because I meant to do y U' R U' R'.
Then I inserted the two pairs with U' R' U R2 U2 R'
LL was U2 R U R' U' R' F R F', l' U R' D2 R U' R' D2 R l U'.

Also, my friend told me on Facebook - "just watched your reaction to sub10. control your orgasm." xD

I got sub-50 4x4 today. I jumped so hard my 5x5 fell off the shelf and exploded. And my mom came running downstairs thinking I broke my leg or something. Who can beat that?

[Cool Frog]

Yeah you like Try to turn as fast as possible and then huge pause.

[yockee]

Yeah, your solves would be a lot better if you'd learn to slow down a bit and try to learn how to look ahead instead of in between pairs. You lock up like crazy and have all kinds of turning mistakes, and it could go a lot smoother for you. When I was stuck around your stage, I stopped timing myself for a little bit, and started doing walkthrough solves to myself. Then, I just did them slightly faster as I got used to finding pairs before I was done solving the current pair. It will help you get down into the 16 - 17 range and you'll probably have another gap until you reach the 14 - 15 stage, but you'll be more on your way. At this rate (with your current turning style) you'll be stuck at 18 - 19 for a long time, because it's a hard wall to pass.
