[Member Intro] Hello everyone!

[nightstar1623]

Hello! I've had an account for awhile, but haven't really posted anything, so I'm hoping to get more active. I solve 3x3, 2x2, 4x4, Pyraminx, and Megaminx, and am going to start learning 3x3 OH, Skewb, and Squan to prepare for the Carolina Season Starter 2018, which will be my first competition! I'd also like to learn 3-Blind, but that isn't a priority for me yet.

I average around 17-18 s on 3x3 using CFOP, and around 7-7.5 s on 2x2 without using Ortega, although I'm working on learning it. I don't typically time my other solves, so idk about the times I make on them, although I use the standard beginner's methods on everything else except 4x4, which I use Yau method with 3-2-3 edge pairing for. I recently finished learning full OLL, and am working on improving my lookahead and F2L efficiency, as well as learning 2 sided PLL recognition. I'm also deciding on whether to learn WV or COLL next, so any tips on that would be greatly appreciated.

PBs:
3x3 Single: 12.02 s
3x3 Ao5: 14.25 s
3x3 Ao12: 15.89 s
2x2 Single: 3.39 s
2x2 Ao5: 4.62 s
2x2 Ao12: 6.21 s

I'm also interested in a ton of things outside of cubing, so I'd love to get to know more people, especially those that will be attending the Carolina Season Starter. In particular, I love anything related to Nintendo, music, math, and physics.

Thanks for reading, if you read all this!

Welcome! I would say to learn COLL next, especially since you're getting into OH, and one YouTube channel that you should check out (if you haven't already) is JPerm.

In particular, I love anything related to Nintendo, music, math, and physics.

I've been learning piano, and I've been playing Smash Bros some recently.

I love JPerm's videos! They've been really helpful for me recently as I've been working on improving to get to sub-15.
