CubeLite's progression thread - NATIONAL CHAMPION

[CubeLite]

Did another FMC attempt, and now I have a mo3, of 44.33

 

[CubeLite]

I finally did another attempt, and TIED MY PB SINGLE FOR THE THIRD TIME

I learned how block building works, and tried to learn insertions and skeleton, but I don't understand how commutators work

 

[Puzzle Maniac]

Nice FMC Attempts!
I average a bit faster than you but I don't understand NISS or any other major techniques, so you have that on me, and you'll probably start being faster than me soon.

 

[CubeLite]

Because I Really want to practice cubing again, I'm going to practice OH seriously, and try to learn PLL and OLL on it, I might also make a video about it, so what would you think is better, a 1 week video or a 1 month video?

 

[CubeLite]

So I'm learning PLL, and already learnt a new F, Gb, Gc and Ja perm, and also to keep myself motivated, I made a spreadsheet with every algs I use with it s times, I haven't choose an alg for every case, just for a few

Every OH PLL time

docs.google.com

 

[CubeLite]

Ok, so I learned a new alg for the Jb and Rb perm, and timed every OH PLL that I know

What do you currently average?

 

[CubeLite]

What do you currently average?

Around 28-32, I haven't done any timed solves in the past 4 days since I started learning PLL, but I feel I'm faster since I'm also trying to implement the correct fingertricks

WHAT THE HECK, FIRST SUB 20 SINGLE BEING SUB 18!!!
LFG, sadly I didn't get it on camera, but still insane

[CubeLite]

So I rewatched one of the first videos posted by CubeHead where he did the 2 sided PLL test on cubeskills, and I decided to finally learn it, and I looked at the best tutorial on YouTube from speedcubedb, and I think I'm starting to understand, I even got a perfect test, I think I'm going to do this test until I get a 50/50

Are you planning to start practicing Skewb again?

Are you planning to start practicing Skewb again?

Not now, because of my hand, but I'm thinking to start doing at least skewb OH

Also, I finally completed my OH PLL spreadsheet

Every OH PLL time

[CubeLite]

So I want to make more videos, and I'm kinda getting out of ideas, so I'm thinking to do a 7 days challenge where I try to learn roux oh and see how fast can I get, and I already did 11 solves, with a PB single of 1:03.85, I will get back into grinding OH after this

 

[Puzzle Maniac]

well heres all your reactions from me for the next 4 months

 

[CubingBeLike]

I just wanna see someone main square-2

I don't even have it : (

This aged like milk, I did the first day, but on the second day I got sick, and forgot to do it, and I just decided to stop doing this, and practice normal OH, and I got some decent times, with a couple sub 25

Also, I'm thinking to do some shorts, not brain rot ones, just some random ones, and I'm thinking to do a "Solving x every day until I break my PB", and idk if I should do this with 3x3 OH or skewb OH, I have cons and pros for both
So like this post for 3x3, and love it for skewb

My PBs: 3x3 OH: 17.50
Skewb OH: 5.25

Cons 3x3: it will prob take a couple of weeks and the solves are long
Pros 3x3: is known
Cons skewb: it isn't known and I'm not that consistent
Pros skewb: it will probably take a few days and the solves are short
