masteranders, i cant see your f2l but make sure you know how to complete each alg in the fastest way.
using no lookahead at all but raw speed, i can get 20 seconds average

you should be trying to go slow, your solves are you turning much too fast and pausing alot. work on tracking hte next f2l pair. work from there. also your pll recog needs work

Thanks very much for the advice! I practiced looking ahead to the next F2L pair and recognizing PLL cases and got a PB avg12.

The two high 20's were both G perms that I totally forgot for a while and screwed the whole average but my fastest time was also a G perm XD

Finally, a decent average for the thread. I am finally getting use to my Gu Hung. The 16.64 was a full step, easy cross, ok F2L, Antisune, and a J perm.:D

Round 57
19.38

19.84, 21.12, 18.11, 19.91, 17.84, 19.30, (17.31), 19.17, DNF(18.96), 17.89, 19.08, 21.58

Great average for me. Contains 18.42 avg5 (solves 3-7).

DNF was because I mis-recognized the N-perm.

Also, sorry for not participating in the last round, sadly I don't have as much time to cube during the week :(

Round 57

14.18,
19.01,
17.38,

19.13,
19.00,
19.45

I started off rather shaky and was, for some reason, extremely nervous. I pulled it together though, and now I get to graduate! However, I don't think that I will go the the race to sub-15 thread, but rather shift my focus from Fridrich to Roux.

Round 58
23.70
23.58, 24.67, 24.42, (35.21), 22.42, 22.94, 24.73, 22.27, (21.99), 22.49, 27.31, 22.14

I guess the nice thing is that it appears that I'm pretty much back to my normal average with smoother, calmer turning. It doesn't help, but at least it doesn't hurt anymore. So it is a little more fun now than it was before. The 35 second solve was a disastrous G perm that required me solving the last pair and OLL again.
