Comp Prep || Timona's Road to NR

[Eli Apperson]

Ambition pops too much, wrm is crunchy and has bad corner cutting. The mgc is probably the best, also the zhisu, but that also pops a lot ootb

Maybe for you, I know as a rather rough turner the ambition pops pretty much never for me, and I can't say the same about the wrm or mgc.

 

[DuckubingCuber347]

The Ambition pops? Yet another thing I'm doing wrong on 4x4...

 

[Timona]

Could you give me some tips on how to be sub-1? I know yau and 3-2-3 edges.

 

[gsingh]

Yup, registration isnt open yet tho

It opened 4 days ago and there is only 1 person registered, lol.

- Practice. It's cliche, I know, but its the only way to properly improve your lookahead.
- Watch Feliks' video on Yau 3-2-3 edge pairing special cases.
- Turn slow during cross edges, no need to spam TPS here
- Watch a s--t ton of example solves
- Do slow solves to implement the things you've learnt from example solves
- Watch Jperms 4x4 sub-1 video. I basically watched it mutliple times, worked on each step of what he said and then it stuck with me.
- Practice.

Bummer. I asked some of the guys and they said they'll be there, I don't know why they haven't registered tho

Thanks. Will do them as soon as I'm out of school.

Why not just do them during school?














Jk. Kids, don't grind 5x5 during math class like I'm doing right now.

Asides from planning F2C and getting a new cube, any tips for sub-40? Currently, i'm just working on being consistent.
