How can I get a sub 1.8 first block and sub 3 second block. I am practicing a lot but was wondering if there are any good tips and resources. I already watch kians videos.

2 things

1) can someone explain how eolr works? I understand the concept

2) In LSE, why does no one do EO, DF + DB and then EPLL

EOLR setups the EO case in a way that makes the arrow appear and make the arrow "good" which means that you can do a three move arrow trigger and your EO is solved, UL UR edges are now on the bottom, there's also an EOLR variant that solves EO and UL UR edges at the same time (EOLR-b)

Reducing LSE to EPLL or ELL isn't efficient and you would need more algs.

thanks!

When do you think I should start using EOLR?

It's really not that necessary but why would you wait until some amount of time to just learn EOLR?
tl;dr: wynaut?

Also, just a note, EOLR is not algs, you get used to how you setup cases into good arrows intuitively, just like F2L.

I mean since i'm averaging 40-50 with roux, should i learn EOLR now, or wait until I'm better in general?

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

Yea i had heard it was intuitive.

Ehh, just learn it when you want, but there are also things that is more important at your level, like F2B blockbuilding.

I'll probably do it after full cmll just since it seems more advanced. I have to get better at F2B before CMLL, so yea.

Hey, I need help with step 4a(EO)
Can't seem to get good at it.
Especially 6 flips.
It's the slowest step in my solves.
Please help me.....

I'm at 26 seconds with 2 look CMLL. Should I learn full CMLL?
BTW, here are my approx. average splits.
FB- 7 sec
SB- 8 sec
CMLL- 4-5 sec
LSE- 5-6 sec, more than 10 on a bad day
Are they OK?

The 6 bad edges case takes forever to do intuitively. That is my weakness

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

The 6 bad edges case takes forever to do intuitively. That is my weakness

then just learn off the setup for that and you'll be fine

 

[Kaneki Uchiha]

The 6 bad edges case takes forever to do intuitively. That is my weakness

learn an alg for that i use this:
R U’ r’ U’ M’ U r U r’

Also, I love 6 flips because I can do ez EOLR-b and skip 4b.

EOLR-b? What is it?I know about EOLR but never heard about EOLR-b

EOLR-b solves EO and 4b at the same time.

Can anyone comment on my splits and answer my question?

Just learn CMLL, there's no reason not to.
