Micah Morrison's Progress Thread [Finished 3-Style + Sub 1 3BLD Success!]

[Micah Morrison]

As much as I don't want you to be faster than me at pyraminx, I average sub 4 so I can help you out if you need it.

PM'd

Wow, it's been a month since I've updated this thread (I've been lazy). I don't plan to update this weekly anymore, but for now I'll just go over the improvement I've made this last month.

Spoiler: 5x5

I didn't practice that much, but I've somehow improved from averaging 1:03 to 1:00-1:01

Spoiler: Square-1

I believe I averaged high 11 or low 12 when I last updated this thread. Now, I'm basically sub 11

Spoiler: 3BLD

I haven't really improved in this event, but I did learn full 3style corners. I've been doing corners-only blindfolded solves to practice using the comms. At first, I was very slow and inaccurate, but now, I think my corners-only times are about the same speed as with OP but slightly less accurate. I'm planning to learn 3style edges over the next 2 weeks or so, and then hopefully see a large amount of improvement in my solves, after I get all the comms in my muscle memory.

Spoiler: Pyraminx

I went from not practicing pyraminx seriously to averaging around mid 5.

Spoiler: 6x6

This is the main event I've been working on recently. I've dropped from averaging around 2:05 to nearly sub 2 (I got a sub 2 ao25 today!) I'll continue grinding 6x6 until I get a 1:58 ao50. I'll update this again when I get that and then go for sub 16 in OH.

Also, I finally updated my pb sheet lol. I plan to update it more regularly. Here it is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1h4eCUMxx0yJhLAO41d6RyAAFHyD0pKuZiW94RzG4SV8/edit?usp=sharing

I have reached my goal of a 1:58 ao50 and a sub 2 ao100 on 6x6, which means I can safely consider myself sub 2:00.

I will now grind OH until I get a 15.7 ao200, so I can safely say I'm sub 16. I currently average high 16 to low 17.

 

[Micah Morrison]

I have achieved my goal on 3x3 OH of a 15.7 ao200, and now I feel like I can confidently say I'm sub 16. I will be practicing megaminx going for a 52.5 ao50 (my current average is around 58-1:01). I also will be finishing up learning 3-style for 3x3 BLD. I know full 3style corners and about 25% of edges as of now, After I achieve my goals on megaminx and finish learning 3-style, I'll probably practice a bunch of 3BLD so I can become familiar with all the comms and hopefully be sub 45.

Wow, I wonder what would’ve happened if I had cubed for all this time. You’ve really improved since I was active.

i did mega for a week or 2, but i'm stuck above 2 minutes. I have a good star+f2l(below 40 seconds together), but my s2l and ll throw me off. any tips?

I think F2L is what I struggled with most when I started megaminx because of the difficult lookahead.

S2L shouldn't be too hard if you are good at F2L, just focus on practicing. An useful note is that pairing up corner+edge BEFORE inserting them is usually more effecient.

Also you should know the basic LL algs: EO, CO, and EP. You can use commutators for CP for now, but eventually you'll want to learn full CP (about as hard as learning full PLL) to complete 4LLL

I would say you should have an s2l order, use the Westlund method for s2l, and work on 4lll, and practice.

Since when were you better than me at squan?

Since when were you better than me at squan?

maybe for like 1 or 2 months idk. I found it surprisingly fun so I did a lot of solves on it.

 

[Nir1213]

squan definitly looks fun and challenging. Im looking forward to getting it in the sometime future!

 

[Micah Morrison]

I finished learning 3-Style for 3BLD about a week and a half ago and was much slower and inaccurate at first. Now, I've gotten my average back down to around 1:20 and I got my first sub 1:00 success! (8 algs) I'm extremely happy with this as my previous PB was a 1:13. I hit a barrier in my megaminx improvement, averaging around 55 seconds at the same time that I finished learning 3-style, so I've stopped grinding it for now. I'm now mostly focusing on 3BLD and getting more familiar with the 3-style comms.

nice to see your progress

Congrats on your sub-1 BLD success!
