MuaazCubes Progression Thread! // SS Comp PB

[CFOP INC]

I am kind of sub 20 with beginner pll and oll I think if you worked on your f2l and everything else you already are working on you could be sub 10.

 

[MuaazCubes]

First ever sq-1 timed solve! I did search some of the algs up, the cube shape was very difficult, i got an easy m2 slice case for edges, and 1 layer was already solved lol.

I kinda stopped learning OLL's cuz I got a bunch of exams this month, so hopeully once my school ends, which should be the 26th, i'll get back to learning OLL.

I just got my SpeedStacks timer plus a mat, but don't have the right cable to connect it to my computer lol, I'm also thinking about going to Florida Returns 2021 In Orlando.

[the dnf master]

for 56, the better one is r U r', double inverse sexy move r U' r'. Very similar, but I think the fingertricks are better for this one.

Yeah, it can be somewhat difficult, but the keys to move each side are pretty simple, unlike the cstimer virtual cube IMO

“Another one bites the dust”

Goals Before Competition:

• Learn Full OLL, Awkward Shape, Dot cases, and some I forgot/need to learn better algs for
• Get All OLLs to at least sub 5, at most sub 3.
• Practice F2L
• Get Sub 20!

Already getting a lot of sub 20 solves, with some 20-23's. I have until August 1st, the day of the competition to get these accomplished.

Edit: I am only doing 3x3, mostly because that's the event I want to get better at, I won't be doing the other events, 2x2, 3x3OH, and skewb, but I'll be in NJ at the time, so I have to wake up at like 3 to get ready and leave at 5, for a long drive.

Are you using a trainer for practicing your OLL recall or just spamming with an alg sheet? I believe using a trainer is essential to effectively learning and being able to execute full OLL. Learning the algs is only half the battle.
