oh pb

For OH, make sure you’ve got correct fingertricks and spam lots of algorithms to get TPS up

See Phil Yu's video on how to increase OH TPS:

Thanks @Username: Username: @PetrusQuber

I just took a little break from OH and learnt the Squan parity alg. Now all I have to learn are 2/3 cubeshape algs and then I'm good to go!

You only need 1 alg for cube shape, learn Scallop/Kite

I suck at making anything except star so yeah.

OH PB of 32 seconds! Ao12 consistently at 38/39 and ao5 consistently 37/38!

What’s your main for OH? If you’re just using a normal 3x3 I’d suggest either making sure it’s at a good speed so you don’t tire yourself out too quickly but also make sure it’s stable and doesn’t lock up or deform a lot. The other thing I’d suggest if you don’t have it already, the GAN 354M v2 is a fantastic cube for OH since it’s a smaller size, quick, light, and very stable on the tighter tension

Also since I have a lot of free time I can help you with other events, my favorite being big cubes

 

[Jam88]

Thanks @Skuber , my main is the gts2m

 

[Jam88]

My next order will be MGC 5x5/6x6/7x7 +skewb+clock! That will be on my channel, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk6BuvtKUyHusaSme_VCMzA along with many other videos.

On a more relevant subject, I took a break from OH because my hand was cramping and now avg 40 ish on squan!

It was really lucky: 1 cross edge made, second made third, no parity, just 3 2 on edges and pll skip with pi oll!

@Faz (sorry I couldn't help it)

LOL its fine

Title changed! Trying to learn ocll, epll and cpll from Cubeskills. Just scrambling ll and solving it with algs. Any tips @Owen Morrison @Micah Morrison (and anyone else too)?
EDIT: My main is Cyclone Boys Mega and idk my avg, haven't been doing it for too long yet
