I'm trying to figure them out for myself, sighted, like JanW did. It's hard. I really need a clear set of patterns or rules to follow, but I haven't found anything that sticks well enough that I can do it quickly without a long pause to think about it. I guess it will take time!
Thank you both for the tips. I had never been to the Competition Forum. Now I have a problem... I'll want to compete all the time
Just did a fast try at 2x2 on the weekly comp but don't worry Marcel, I did not cheat with the 4th solve. I did it on yellow face on purpose to avoid that... and also had a terrible lockup in my CB 2x2 on that very solve, making it in fact the worst of my average.
My results
Not bad taking into account that I was nervous as if it was a real competition
I assume that for this comps, even if you don't have a proper timer you need to do a pick-up and throw of the cube, right?
Next week I'll try to do more events or maybe I can edit my post with additional events later this weekend. I will also try to enter the Race to sub-20 thread. I'm sure it will prove quite challenging.
I'm not exactly fast either, still pause to figure them out. Recognition and execution is currently at about 10-15s/3-cycle (not including the few seconds it takes for me to recall which stickers the letters in my memo refer to), sometimes slower if a really tricky case comes up or if I try to look for better options before executing. But for me it doesn't matter as much as I doubt I would be much faster at this point with any other system. Just hoping that I can improve my execution speed with comms at about the same pace I would improve it with OP. As you are already so fast, it will without doubt take some time to get comms up to the same speed.
First sub-20 single, it was a very nice scramble

Hah, I thought I was so smart to see the 6-move Xcross, but turns out it's easy to do the same Xcross in 5 moves by mistake if you don't plan for it...

I've been reading this thread for weeks, it's so inspirational
Is it some sort of VLS alg or what!!!!?
