Fukuoka Kengo James' Progression Thread

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Just received my UV Ball Core AoShi WRM from PiCube, and immediately got a new 6x6 PB

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Got new 6x6 & 7x7 PB!!

6x6 got no parity,
and for 7x7 glad that I knew that ZB, would have been a Y perm if I did the normal OLL

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

4×4 PB2 on my catchy RS4M, hope my Premium setup AoSu WRM will arrive soon

What timing app/software do you use? I am looking for a good mobile app that I can use on the go.

CubeTime is a good one.

I've seen many other cubers making progress with their very own progression threads, so I've decided to make one for myself.

2×2
- average sub 4
- main: Pi Cube Premium Ball Core MoHuanShouSu ChuWen M
- method: Ortega PBL
- goal: learn full CLL and average sub 4

3×3
- average sub 16
- main: MoYu RS3 M V5 Ball Core UV Coated
- method: basic F2L, 2-look OLL and full PLL
- goal: improve F2L, progressively learn full OLL and average sub 15

Got new main 2x2 and 3x3.
2x2: Pi Cube Premium Ball Core MoHuanShouSu ChuWen M
3x3: MoYu RS3 M V5 Ball Core UV Coated

3x3: MoYu RS3 M V5 Ball Core UV Coated

I wonder how many times the words Pi Cube Premium have appeared in this thread.

I just can't pay like double or triple the price for angstrom or cosmic cubes not even having a ball core..

tbh most of the time picube clears scs and tc setups

Is it possible for me to get to sub 15 consistently in 3 weeks?

I was trying to learn some OLLs, but then I found that looking ahead is more important. Specifically my first pair usually takes the longest in f2l, which means my transition between cross and f2l isn’t very smooth. Should I be looking for the 1st pair during inspection?

You could try tracking where your first pair ends up while doing cross.

Yes, you definitely can. I would suggest slow solves and doing timed solves where you slow down on your last 1-2 edges on cross and look for the first pair the slowly speed up throughout f2l as lookahead gets easier.
