Ashes Thread (debating mains and open to suggestions)

5-style is just comm. Moves in bracket notation easier to streamline and get better at.

And pseudoslotting is just f2l but with funny colors

You just have to get used to insert opposite colors or a pair that looks like its flipped because two of the same stickers don't match

No need to learn new algs. How many 5style tymon kolasinski know?

Everything but it's still a sectret so don't tell anyone

i dont know what i should use for 4x4
Hoya: easier to look ahead into EP
Yau: quicker to finish cross+centers
(before you ask, yes i know k4, i do not use it in speedsolving though..

im special and cant find the race thread, so ill post here
making attempts at BLD either tonight or tomorrow
i will keep you peeps updated

soo uhh like 50 solves into the day

pseudo slot example


where im at in pseudo

I would say to leave pseudoslotting alone right now, other things are much more important. I would learn pseudo after you’re sub-10.

 

[randomness...]

i use pseudo in untimed solves. im just intruiged by the concept.
i do normal F2L in timed solves

Ok. That’s better, and you can still play around with it, but (personally) in Untimed solves I would work on say, lookahead, as it’s really important, as we all know. Lookahead is the difference between a 12 second Cuber and a 6-7 second one.

my look ahead is decent for the amount of time i spend solving
my solution and finger tricks are trash.

Yeah, I didn’t say you have to practice lookahead. Whatever you think you need to improve on.

thats too many things for my two braincells :/

Sorry, I’m not great at explaining things. What I mean is, pick the 1 thing you think you’re the worst at. For example, let’s say your finger tricks need the most works. Then do slow/untimed solves practicing on finger tricks.

i know what you meant first thing.
I have so many different things that i want to work on that i cant choose one of them
adhd moments :/

should i try to do 4 BLD once i get better at 3 bld?

Ye

 

[Deleted member 36445]

I'm gonna do a 4bld solve soon before solving 3bld

That's because I don't have a 2x2 with me and I want to solve corners lol

I would go with Yau, but you pick what fits you best.

i have no clue because i like both-
