Yet Another 2x2 Test: Switching Mains a Week Before a Comp

[TheSpeedSkewber]

I currently main the Moyu RS2M Evo. Its a great cube and i love it. I've always heard people say NOT to switch mains close to a comp, so ive decided to order a YJ MGC Elite 2x2, and i've timed the delivery to come on monday, just 5 days before the competition. We'll see how much my results differ across the week, and in comparison to my old main. The first ao10 of my RS2M will be later today.


Edit: I shouldve mentioned, i suck at 2x2 but i just find it to be a really fun and easily experimental event.

The 5 days you have the cube, make sure to do as much solves as you need to get used to the cube.

Interesting (albeit not at all scientific) experiment. Keep us posted on how it turns out!

Day 0: Before The Cube Arrives:

ao5: 6.24

My hands are wayy too cold to do an ao10. I will post the individual times for the other days but for now we just need the average.

You have to try scramble 2, its a 2 move correct layer on white, then just do a simple Sune CLL

Well, I was maining on an RS3M but switched to the GAN 354 for 3x3 and OH. I didnt seem to have any issues with my solves, they were better in fact.

 

[TheSpeedSkewber]

More consistent today, which should be better, but less very fast solves which impacted the avg.

This is a habit i need to get out of but i have extremely high tps but i do a lot of unnecesary moves and i lockup a lot
