What’s sticky mean?

basically means that the thread is pinned.

Pinned to what?

Pinned to what?

in a subforum (this thread is in how to's and guides) they'll be on the top every time.

I have an idea for you, @Zubin Park. Maybe a guide for how to prioritize learning 1 look OLL vs 2 look OLL... which ones should we learn first, and why those?

Good idea! I'll put it on my list of guides!

Organized my guides so they aren't as cluttered, as I'll be adding more later!

Thanks, @Zubin Park . I see some interesting "Coming Soon" guides!

As far as the vote goes, since I'm very new here, I declined to vote because I have not yet seen how particular the community and moderators about what gets stickied, but either way, this is certainly a helpful thread to me! The most helpful threads will tend to bubble to the top in forums, but I was glad to find this one.

My avg is 1 min and 30 sec on the 3x3 and my PB is 1 min and 12 sec. Im trying to break the sub 1 barrier avg for me. Any tips?

 

[Zubin Park]

You can check out my sub-1 guide, but I can add more if you think it's not enough.

Need help getting sub 20 CFOP. I know full PLL, T, C and corner oriented OLLs, and am getting started on my f2l lookahead. I also use a bit of edge control (sledge to avoid dot cases) Any idea what I should do as well?

I would just do a bunch of solves, while focusing on F2L lookahead and efficiency and finish learning OLL in between. I am sub-18 without full PLL, so you should be able to do very well.

I noticed I was getting worse at 3x3, I went from averaging 9.9 to 11.3. Because of this, I decided to get one of @Zubin Park's free custom guides. It was very in-depth and gave me lots of tips to get back to what I used to average. In a short amount of time, I am already averaging around 10.1, almost back to what I used to average. I also got my 2nd and 3rd ever sub 8 averages of 5. I would highly recommend getting one of Zubin's guides if you feel you are stuck in your improvement.

I don't think you need even a little bit of full oll for sub-20, you can have a decent f2l and get sub 20. Maybe for sub 15, but even its possible without full oll. Also, I suggest pseudoslotting for later, but x cross before. The problem I have is bad look ahead, and too many pauses(16 ao100). High tps though. full pll, 2 look oll, and >70 moves solution.

Can you add sub-12? It's an important barrier imo
