Better than average for me, but any tips? And what do you think of the camera angle?

Camera Angle is all right. How old are you Louis? The only tip I have is learn Turbo Tracking and increase your tps. You might want to learn WV. Do you really play chess?

 

[Mollerz]

My biggest tip would be: Use more inspection! You only use a couple of seconds on each solve.

Thanks, 16, wtf is that (E: nvm, found a video on it), yeah I turn slowly when I can't see the next pair and I need to work on that, I've learned some of the easy cases but I'm learning CLL at the moment, and no.

Inspection? Who needs that!?
Yeah, you're right. I don't usually plan more than just the cross; maybe the first pair on very easy scrambles (like the first). I'll try to use more inspection, and hopefully be able to plan cross+1 consistently.

my biggest tip would be to pretend pjkcuber doesnt exist and jus slowly increase your tps and use more inspection (try and see first pair in inspection if the cross is easy or something)

My biggest tip is to ban this annoying guy. Ben that is.

you're the annoying one though, and clearly you dont know how to get faster than this because you are twice as slow

I'd prefer if the camera is on your right if your right-hand is doing most of the active turning, but that's just me. Also, I don't think that turbo-tracking is worth it because it's just not realistic.

Honestly, I ignore most of your post. Ben is not annoying, perhaps just less forgiving of your constant, almost pointless posts and arguably annoying posts, than others. Also, when you double post it's very easy to delete on of the posts.

Yeah, I need to work on TPS during F2L. My lookahead is usually better, but I suck on cam. I was lucky to get an average this good.

thank you

Not possible in my room (there's a wall in the way), but I could always do solves somewhere else in the future.

Also, I don't think that turbo-tracking is worth it because it's just not realistic.

I have been trying it, and once the corner goes to BD I find it very difficult to track; I don't ever have to look ahead there, so I don't usually need to remember where a corner is that I can't see. I might try to do turbo tracking with just <R,U>, as that's more realistic, and see if that helps. But I agree, normal turbo tracking requires very different lookahead to normal solving.

Very nice solves. I like your smooth F2L.. Man, wich I could do that

Thanks! For F2L (or F2B if you use Roux), this quote:

something that Alex said helps with turning: turn fast when you know what your doing, and turn slowly when you're unsure.

has been very helpful for me. If you can't see the next pair, then turn slowly until you can see something. Once you can see the next pair, turn as fast as you want, and you can still get good times. You don't have to pause during F2L if you do this (unless you don't see anything when you're turning slowly, but with practise that isn't very often at all).

I've actually found I can just about get my camera to my right, so I'll try that out. I don't have anything worth uploading yet, and tbh I probably won't upload anything for a while, but I'll use this angle in the future. You can also see the U layer from this angle. Thanks for the suggestion!

Nice solves. You have a very unique and smooth turning style! Post more videos when you can.

Thanks! I'll probably upload some OH/4x4 next, but I'll upload more 3x3 solves in the future.

Just out of curiosity, what cube is that?

Why dont you read previous posts. I also think that Ben is being more realistic and probably you should be banned!

@TDM. That is some smooth turning style. GO Go GO Sub 10~

Ben is just a bossy person who keeps insulting and annoying me. Besides, he has 2 accounts which is against the forum rules. So ban him instead of me.

Let's quit derailing this with off topic stuff.

TDM, awesome solves. I really like your thumb stuff on the U, it's fun to watch. Obviously, I can't give much advice cause you are much better than me and use a different method. For the camera angle, maybe a higher over the shoulder shot if it's possible? Like in my sub 20 ao5 video.

 

[GuRoux]

nice solve! just wondering what are your averages for zz and roux?
