WhatDoIPutHere's Cubing Progression - Modding YS3M! Road to: Sub-20 3x3 - Learning PLL 11/21| Sub-5 2x2 - Ortega | Sub-3 Minute 5x5 - Yau5

WhatDoIPutHere said:
Yeah, I feel like I've really improved just from practicing. I cube before school and during school, and I've gotten my past 3 pbs in school.
I think that lucky scrambles will come more often now that I cube a lot. I think I am going to get a YJ MGC 5x5 soon so I will be practicing that too.

Fingertricks are useful to know, as you won't have to regrip as much.
Also, don't worry about lookahead a whole ton until you are VERY good at F2L to the point where you can pair from ANY slot. Also, Full pll, then full OLL.

ANOTHER PB, so close to sub-20.
20.672 seconds
Scramble: B2 R2 B2 D' R2 F2 U R2 F2 D U B' D2 L D' L F U B R'
Scramble had easy x-cross, then all easy F2L cases (all R U' R' insertion only) and OLL (I use two look) and PLL (only edges)

Looking back on my PB I did my cross on white but it might have been good to do it on yellow, I don't know. Could someone please check out the scramble?

OK, I just did an Ao25. This was a completely normal session, except for 2 major differences.
I turned on the WCA Inspection in cstimer, and WOW I actually have less time than I thought I did. I find myself typically starting around 10s, (between 8 and 12 warning). It was super helpful but I'm pretty sure I kept trying to do X-Crosses on scrambles where I shouldn't have.
The second difference was that I did the multi stage: first stage was cross and F2L, second stage was LL. I averaged 25 seconds on the first stage. THAT'S HIGHER THAN MY PB. THIS IS VERY UPSETTING (I averaged 10 seconds on second stage).
 
PB Ao12: 29.592
Last solve was almost only a couple seconds from PB.

I'm making a new post just because I don't want to continue on that same post because the Ao100 is so long; I'm getting a MoYu YS3M Ballcore and also a YJ MGC 5x5 soon, so I'm very excited.
I did a few 5x5 solves yesterday; I expected it to be terrible because I hadn't done 5x5 in forever. To my surprise, I got 4:30 which was about my average with Redux (I switched to Yau5 recently, but upon switching my times went into the 5 minute catergory). Hopefully when I get my YJ MGC my times will improve again once I get adjusted to the new cube.
I've noticed that I'm really improving at 3x3 and have been noticing more lock-ups with my current cube, so I'm getting a YS3M Ballcore. My times have dropped into mainly the 20 second range, which is amazing. I've been working a lot on cross and F2L, but not on learning PLL algorithms.
Should I focus on learning more PLL algorithms or improving my F2L and Cross? For learning PLL I would start with learning G Perms and R Perms because those are the most common ones I haven't memorized yet. I'm not sure what I would do for F2L and Cross, those take a lot of time and effort to improve.
Haven't done a lot of 2x2 lately, 2x2 feels like just trying to speed up algorithms and getting lucky scrambles.
 
The new cubes have arrived!
The YS3M Maglev Ballcore is extremely good, but it's a little fast for me and I have a hard time controlling it. Probably because I'm not as experienced, but it emphasizes the importance of slowing down and looking ahead for me. I need to find a lube that slows down cubes for control, on Amazon though because its easier for me to ask my parents for stuff off of Amazon.
The YJ MGC 5x5 was perfect for me. On the first solve, I PBed with 3:42. I don't have the scramble though because I deleted the solve on cstimer because it was on multiphase so it showed an incorrect time. In the time I've had so far I've done 5 solves with that cube, and 4 of them have been sub 4 minute, all of them were sub 4:25. I'm probably going to spend some time setting up the cubes over the weeked.
Please reply if you have a good control lube that can be bought on Amazon.

The new cubes have arrived!
The YS3M Maglev Ballcore is extremely good, but it's a little fast for me and I have a hard time controlling it. Probably because I'm not as experienced, but it emphasizes the importance of slowing down and looking ahead for me. I need to find a lube that slows down cubes for control, on Amazon though because its easier for me to ask my parents for stuff off of Amazon.
The YJ MGC 5x5 was perfect for me. On the first solve, I PBed with 3:42. I don't have the scramble though because I deleted the solve on cstimer because it was on multiphase so it showed an incorrect time. In the time I've had so far I've done 5 solves with that cube, and 4 of them have been sub 4 minute, all of them were sub 4:25. I'm probably going to spend some time setting up the cubes over the weeked.
Please reply if you have a good control lube that can be bought on Amazon.

50K is slowest 30K mid 10 k fast. Also why Amazon the cubicle is better

I've been thinking about getting into OH and BLD, but OH is hard because I have small hands. when I fully stretch my hand from pinky to thumb in a straight line it's around 8 inches. Anyone know a good OH grip for small hands?
Also, BLD is tought because... I'm really lazy and I take forever to find the solution for just the edges. Also I don't own a blindfold, and I don't think I'm at the level where I can actually do it blindfolded. Are there any WCA requirements for blindfolds?

I don't do bld yet but I want to learn it soon, starting from 2bld

about oh I would say, try to get a small cube like 50mm and don't give up. I was awful at the beginning and it seemed that I just wasn't born for it
But now I can do some fingertricks surprisingly fluent and I'm only getting better
so don't give up, you can do it. I beat my avg pb these days, sub40, that seemed impossible to me, so if I made it you can do it too lol

blindfolds can't be made out of see-through plastic
