Use the CSTimer cross solvers tool to find more efficient solutions. And then do blind cross to make sure you’re planning it all out.

So kinda like trying to inspect whole cross during inspection?

I haven't updated this in 10 days but here's a quick update:

I went to a competition but completely failed and lost my PR streak
I finished the H and Pi EG-1 subsets for 2x2.
I've been practicing clock a lot and just the other day I started experimenting with a new method. Here is a thread on it: No-D method
I might've dropped a little off of my 3x3 global but I don't know how lol.
I also just beat my 3x3 Ao5 PB:

How much of EG do you have left?

Would you like to race to sub-2.5? I finished EG-1 not too long ago and I need an excuse to practice with it as I learned it much too quickly.

I'm about halfway done with EG-1 but I'll probably finish in the next few days. What do you currently global?

Yo that's lit, I just started 5x5, big cubes seem super fun.

 

[DuckubingCuber347]

I'm about halfway done with EG-1 but I'll probably finish in the next few days. What do you currently global?

I don't practice 2x2 much so my case recall is very spotty but once I get back in practice I would reckon that I currently average 3.1. (Of course, I've never been comfortable with 2x2 so once my recall get perfect I would probably get closer to 2.8, and with the addition of EG-1 I think I can bring my average much lower.)

Thanks! Big cubes are super fun, 6x6 is probably my favorite but I practice 4, 5, and 7 sometimes too.

Ok, awesome. Seems like we average about the same, do you want to race to sub-2.5 average of 50? 100?

 

[DuckubingCuber347]

Ok, awesome. Seems like we average about the same, do you want to race to sub-2.5 average of 50? 100?

Average of 100 would be preferred as an ao50 is very fluctuant in 2x2. A 2.4 ao50 could easily be a 2.71 ao100.

Wait why 6 It has too many parities

 

[Deleted member 74176]

Wait why 6 It has too many parities

Yes, there are 3 parities possible (2 if you use an inner slice trick) but I find it the most enjoyable because you can do really fun block-building tricks on the centers. I don't like 7x7 as much because it just takes too long.

 

[Deleted member 74176]

As you can probably tell from the title update, I'm focusing on clock and 2x2 right now.
My next competition is US Nationals and I really want to get good clock results there. I global somewhere around 4.5 so it should be quite easy for me to beat my 5.86 average.
I also would like to get 2x2 Alabama State Records. Currently, they are a 1.92 average and 0.98 single. I global about 2.8 right now and am halfway done learning EG-1 so I'll finish EG-1 and then learn AUF prediction and maybe start 1-looking?

I’m not sure what I did

I'm really happy with this, I one-looked the 1.83, 1.58, and I 1.5 looked the 1.70 and on the 2.30 I know it was going to be Pi case and because I don't know all of EG-1, that was the only reason I did the EG-1 face.

 

[DuckubingCuber347]

Once you learn EG-1 1.5 looking should be very easy. I can "1.5" look about 80% of solves with EG-0+1 but my recall is really bad so I don't actually ever get good solves with EG lol.

Definitely going to dread predicting AUF once I get to that point.

Nice ao5, I think our PB's are roughly the same (iirc my PB is 1.92)

 

[Deleted member 74176]

Definitely going to dread predicting AUF once I get to that point.

It's not actually that bad, I already do it for like 90% of the CLL cases. You pretty much just have to glance at a specific sticker and then you'll know what the AUF is going to be. As an example: for pure-Sune, if you look at the front sticker for the solved corner, that piece will always do a U2 during the alg. It's really just as easy as that.

You should switch to Yau on 6x6
