Got another layer skip, super easy 5 move CLL

The way I do this case (assuming there's a layer skip, if it doesn't I would do double antisune) is do y' z2, and then with your right thumb at front and your right index finger at the back, do R2' D2 R [with right index] D2' R2. Completely regripless. And the R in the middle can also be done with R' (with left index finger), but in this case I could predict the AUF so I used R.

Yellow bar was really easy for making a layer, but then I checked red and found that it would give me an OLL skip. I predicted that the J perm bar would be on the back, so I know what the AUF of the J perm would be. Total solution:
x y2 // inspection
R2 U' R' // layer + OLL skip
U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U // PLL
18 STM in 0.985 sec // 18.27 tps

What's the best way to practice color neutral? Do you just force yourself to practice crosses other than white? Or do you start first with memorizing the other colors' color schemes? And how do you know when you are completely color neutral?

I'm definitely not the best at it but the way I did it, I practiced only one color for one week, should have gone even longer up to a month. Of course, your times will drop but when you see your times equaling what you average normally, then that's proof that your getting better at it. I practiced only Green for some and I can solve on Green now, somewhat decently.

Well, virtual cube has some advantages and disadvantages over real cubes.
Pros:
Easy to look ahead, can see colors anywhere on the cube, less rotations
Can do whatever fingertricks in the same time, like B and D
Cons:
Cannot execute some moves as fastly and smoothly on real. Easier to mess up, and for half turns, you need to press twice, making the move slower.

I'll try finishing As, H, and L CLL algs this weekend. I have almost no homework, so I have lots of time to learn stuff. My plan for 2x2 right now is to finish learning CLL, and start learning full EG. I don't know when I should practice one-looking though, I'll ask in the 2x2 discussion and help thread when the time comes.
So I took a break from 2x2, and did some 3x3. And I got my second ever sub-10 ao5!!!
I've been getting sub-10s a bit more frequently now, and I also got a low 6 single!

I would suggest using stack mat instead of keyboard. Personally, I don't count keyboard singles, but that is up to you
Yeah, I don't have a stackmat yet though, and I'm not in a state to buy one either
Once I do get one, I'll start new sessions and count those as PB. (I'm deciding on a Qiyi timer)

This is not tsmosher's method, it is called A2 and was developed by @Athefre (you can find it on his website), but it's a cool thing nonetheless
