SpedCube's Progression

Nice! Your 4x4 times are way better than mine. One main reason is I've been struggling memorizing the OLL Parity Algorithm. But nice times nonetheless!

Thanks!

Ah ok. So if I’m understanding correctly, I should put the drops where the red arrow is pointing to?

Yup! Dont worry about ruining your cube or anything, that's hard to do lol

Oh alright, thanks so much! I’ll try it out in a bit and I’ll see how it goes. What lube did you use for the 2x2? (If you used any, that is).

I have dnm-37, Mystic, and Silk. I like the dnm and mystic as a mix in my cubes

Nice, I’ll keep that in mind.

PB 5x5 time on my 20th timed solve: 3:09

Nice! Do you think 5x5 is worth trying? I’m not a huge fan of big cubes, but I do like 4x4.

Tbh, I thought it wouldn't be, and it is annoying starting out, but I'm growing to like it more and more! I'd definitely recommend buying one and having a go at it. If you want too, I'd say go for the MGC 5x5, as it's only 20 dollars, so if you dont like it, you didnt spend too much on it, but it's literally amazing lol

Yeah, I would only get the MGC either way… that was the same way with me when I started 4x4. If I do 5x5 it would be after I’m good at 4x4 though. I’m not that good at 4x4.

 

[SpedCube]

whats your 4x4 times? im bad at it too lol

whats your 4x4 times? im bad at it too lol

Ao100 is ~1:16

 

[SpedCube]

Mine's 1:21

4x4 PB Single: 1:02, ao5: 1:12
Bother were on the forum comp and with no warmup lol

Nice! You’re getting closer to that sub-1 single

yesssss so close!

New 5x5 single PB: 2:56.52!! Sub 3!!!

Ill try this, here's a video from a few days ago of a solve. Could've easily been sub 14 but had a lot of cube rotations. Tell me what you all think!

Well, yes, lots of cube rotations, I counted about 8 during F2L . Maybe you could learn edge orientation? Or slow solves to improve your lookahead? One thing that can improve your lookahead is 2-gen solves, as you only have 2 pairs to solve and it should be easier to lookahead. Other than that, your last layer was pretty good! I would suggest to learn full PLL though, especially at this stage (you seem sub-20).

@Cubinginatree , why the confused reaction?
