Comp Prep || Timona's Road to NR

[Garf]

While I'm waiting for my Yuhu to come, instead of not doing any solves at all, I'm gonna be grinding Megaminx. I've already forgotten some OLLs, which is really bad, so I'm gonna learn them back. I might even start learning some Megaminx PLLs, particularly EPLLs. I'll also go through a list of Megaminx OLLs, that carry over from 3x3, which means there should be 57 of them. I already know some of them, it's just about finding the rest of them so I can easily recognise them. I currently average around 1:20 and I want to be sub-1:20 consistently.

For 4x4, I've started learning the Parity PLLs, still haven't mastered them yet.

Uh... some algorithms that you know might not work, because of the R2/R2' rule.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. SpeedcubeDB might have alt algs

Inefficient inspection

 

[Timona]

I've re-learnt the OCLLs I forgot. Now to begin relearning the H-perms. Lockups and corner twists are more frequent on the Megaminx. Still a decent average tho

Really good average.

 

[Timona]

My laptop got taken so that means I'm stuck with csTimer on my tablet, which means I can't do as many solves. At least my cubes weren't taken this time, so i can still slow solve Megaminx and 4x4.

Why not, gonna lose but I need a reason to practice 4x4.

I got my laptop back so I'm gonna try to do a Megaminx ao100. If I can't I'll at least do an ao25.

Sub-1:20, quite decent. Had a good start, bad ending. I tried to learn PLLs today, but I could only learn 2, U2+ and J1- since they kept showing up.

how?

I'm stuck at 1:20 till my Yuhu comes. I might be able to drop 5-10 seconds when it comes but I still have a long way to sub-1. I'm still chill about it tho since it's just been a little over a month since I started Megaminx.
