Sombi McJunior’s Progression Thread - 6.58 BPA - Practicing for Pretzel Mania 25

[Sombi McJunior]

@Cubist-Guitar bullied me into making this thread and also (almost) destroyed me in everything but 3x3 so i have to be an all rounder again.

@Cubist-Guitar bullied me into making this thread and also (almost) destroyed me in everything but 3x3 so i have to be an all rounder again.

That is true, I did bully @Sombi McJunior to do literally anything than 3x3 for the next several weeks. But do not fear! To help my poor friend out, I have composed a schedule of events that he has to practice every week, and by the end, we will see how much we both improved. The schedule will be structured like this; there will be one main event every week that we will focus on (this will be chosen by a random generator) and two other events to practice when we inevitably get bored of events like Skewb (also randomly generated)

pb ao12 with 2 sub 1's (i pretty much only get a sub 1 every thousand solves so this is ridiculous)
also with cll and i think its pretty good considering that

highly recommend trying the scrams for the sub 1's (and the 1.08), they're ridiculous

That’s really good! Apparently, you care a lot about 2x2, so the only thing I would say is that you should learn EG-1. No reason, just learn it

after such a long time, i broke a mental barrier and got a sub 7 fullstep, and didnt lock up on pll

i'll probably recon it

scramble isnt anything particularly special but my lookahead and tps seemed just perfect somehow
