Saterz's Road to master all his collection

[Saterz_]

I was sitting down when I realized : I'm trash at cubing. Mainly becaue I've been doing it for 4 years and I'm still sub 25...

So I decided that starting today I will dedicate all my freetime on mastering not only the 3x3 but all the other types cubes I have in my collection.

Spoiler: My current times

3x3 OH: 1:06.18 = (45.53), 1:14.68, 1:04.05, (1:25.16), 59.82

3x3: 23.77 = 22.21, 25.40, (17.79), 23.71, (25.45)

2x2: 21.37 = 21.19, (14.27), (DNF), 18.27, 24.66

Skewb: 28.27 = (38.37), (16.07), 33.49, 26.28, 25.06

For the 4x4 and 5x5 I gave up trying to scramble them correctly.

4x4: 1:57.01, 1:49.60

Spoiler: Target times

2x2 : 10 sec
3x3 : 15 sec
3x3 OH : 45 sec
3BLD : to learn
4x4 : 1:00 min
5x5 : 3:00 min
Skewb : 10 sec
Megaminx : to learn
Pyraminx : to learn (but I think I should start by getting one first)
Etc...

If you guys have tips, I'll be happy to hear them.

Crap mods I posted the thread by error

Well you will have to wait for me to write the text

Bumping this thread to make it look like I have recently posted it, which would've been the case if I hadn't pressed on the post thread button by error

So today I learned the Yau method for the 4x4 (which I also managed to apply on the 5x5) and I can't understand how I manage to go this far without learning it ; speaking of learning : it was a piece of cake (no new algs to learn, only principles to follow).
I didn't measure myself yet but I really feel like I've gotten significantly faster.

I also realize that it is in my necessity for my joy of living and wellbeing to get as far as I can from my GAN460. This thing is trash to the point it becomes a pain to just turn a face.

So next up, I think I'll go learn the Sarah method for Skewb (One member here will be really happy after reading this (hopefully)) and start saving up for a new 4x4.

What 4x4 should I get?

Get the aosu v7 4x4

It is goated yo

 

[Saterz_]

Well... well... well...

I didn't measure myself yet but I really feel like I've gotten significantly faster.

2:02.86 = 1:49.33, (2:31.81), 2:17.14, 2:02.13, (1:48.47)

The numbers speaks for themselves.
Me who thought I was going to get instantly better, I was completely wrong (looking back it was naive of me to think that).

I think what I really need to work on to get faster is reducing my pair recognition time. I waste way too much time rotating the cube just to find them.

But to end on a good note :
I might not have gotten better at solving the cube, yes, but I've gotten way better at scrambling it. Out of the 5 scrambles I needed for the ao5, I only messed up once—much better than the 10 or so attempts it took me to get just two correct scrambles in the original post.

Try the Hoya method on 4x4 + !
I definitely wouldnt main it if i used yau, as Hoya is fun to do as well !
Also if you dont know 3-2-3 id reccomend you learn it too.
Also i reccomend the Aosu v7 Single Track for 4x4.

sorry I have nothing to say

Spoiler: fun fact

the longest piece of English literature is a loud house fanfic which is 31M-35M words

You can do it with some weeks to months of practice

s is sledge
h is hedge
image is a little blurry
hope this helps
(get sub 20 first maybe)

@Saterz_ don't learn from here, it's not good, not a single skewber recommends it, so do I, you are better off using a video like Noble Cubes or Z3Cubing, if you need any help with skewb, just DM me, you can also DM an ao5 to critique it

why tho?

 

[CubeLite]

why tho?

It's bad, the first one is WAY BETTER to do y2 S2
And the peanut algs are not the good ones with only 2 sledges or hedges, you need to delete that image, so you don't use it or suggest it, suggest a video from one of the two i mentioned
