Oh yeah you are right, the 9999th reply . I bet when Marcel posted his intro he would never have believed it would turn into a mega thread and still be going 4 years and 10000 posts later!

I've had a bit of a go on Hoya. It'll take a but of getting used to but I like it. I need to try and make the 4th centre on the back rather than the front with a y2. I'll work on building the cross dedges intuitively first to get the feel of it before looking at algs.
It feels like it should be faster than Yau.

What page was I on? Is there an easy way to tell? Probably 700.

Cheers for the mention, yeah I'm still about although I'm not getting any faster!
I'm mostly messing about with non-WCA puzzles these days, although I'm still trying to complete "OLL from y2"; hopefully I'll manage it before the end of the year.
Congrats to Marcel, and good job everybody.

What's that?

Well, I know full OLL but I'm learning alternative algs which solve each of them from a y2 (or U2) away.
There are 51 of them which aren't symmetrical and I need about another seven or so to complete the set.

Good luck with that. I'm still working on full OLL.

@h2f I sent you a private message with a link to my BldTrainer application and some instructions for how to use it. Let me know what you think.
I shall try to finish the customization part of the application, then share it with the rest of the community as well. I only need to find out where to host the file. Any suggestions where I should upload the file to share in the Software Area? I don't have any homepages or private server space.

3x3 PBs:
18.681 (was 18.780 from 28-may)
20.436 (was 20.637 from 29-may)
I feel I'm progressing, but I'm making mistakes too frequently, getting a good mo100 is difficult.

@JanW you could create a public shared file in Google drive, that's free. Or there are lots of similar options I think.

I assume those are Ao5 and Ao12, right?
My feeling is more or less the same. If I'm trying to get good singles then I'm solving at full speed and messing up is more likely so I get many bad solves that compromise the Ao100. If I'm just going for the average, trying to stay at 90% speed and focusing on lookahead then maybe I'll get less very good solves but I will be more consistent, resulting in a better average.
By the way, I have watched a lot of Weilong GTS reviews and the consensus seems to be that it's not worth it, too unstable and same or worse lockup problems than Guoguan Yuexiao due to squared off corners combined with said unstability. JR Cuber even dared to say it is an irrelevant cube and he's still using an Aolong v2 as main. Made me want to go back to one of my older cubes as I still keep having corner catches on my Yuexiao.
Also I learned a couple easy tricks for 5x5 today on the new videos by @SpeedCubeReview that made my face red for not having found them yet by myself which makes me think that I should practice a bit less (timed solves) and do more slow solving and video tutorial watching. So, if you're watching, thanks for the videos!!!

JR Cuber was about the only review I saw that said that. If you look in the comments on his there are some good cubers (Cubeologist, TPC, etc) quite surprised by his review. What others reviews did you see? I don't have one but probably will someday.

Thanks, I was wondering about this. I've used Google drive to share files in the past, but never by posting links out in public. If it's safe to do so, then I will probably use that option.

My wife has kindly agreed to do all 3 hours driving today so I'm getting some Hoya practice in. Decided to compare AO5 for just centres and cross, Hoya v Yau. Got 2/3 DNFs on Hoya so abandoned the idea.
