Wanna get faster at 3x3/2x2? If so then you don’t want to miss out on this!

[Caleb Valenzuela]

Hey there! Looking to get faster at cubing? Then you’ve come to the right thread! (advertisement ahh intro)
Here are some things you might wanna know first:
I average 6.7 on 3x3, and 1.9 on 2x2 so you can trust me with these critiques.
I only critique solves that use CFOP or any variant similar to CFOP. For 2x2 i only critique solves that use Ortega, CLL, or EG-1.
Here are the requirements for critique:

Spoiler: Requirements

Don’t be faster than me
Have decent camera quality (preferably 1080p 30 FPS). If you can’t record in that quality, it’s fine as long as you send a reconstruction. Same goes with if you can’t show your entire cube in the video (for some reason).
Have a good angle where i can see the cube
Provide the scrambles you used together with the video
Provide video of your 3x3/2x2 ao5

I’ll only be accepting 2-3 critiques at a time. I can’t critique two events at once as well. This is a first come first serve type of critique, so if you reply to this thread and send me a PM first, you have a guaranteed spot for being critiqued (effective as of August 19, 2025 and onwards.)

also note that this is a written critique

I’m interested! I’d like some advice from a silver that’s close to my level! I probably average like 9.99 on a good day.

@Caleb Valenzuela i might be interested in this, I'll send videos when i have time to record

 

[Cuber2s]

I'm slightly faster but my efficiency is terrible. Is it ok if I send in videos later?
