OMGGGGG WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON THIS WEEK

THAT WAS SO SMOOTH

 

[Sub20Soon]

yo hi guys as you may have noticed (from the inactivity in the comps i hopped on) i stopped being active on the forums, and this is because i axtually completely stopped cubing. I think i stopped cuz it was too hard to be consitently sub 20. One solve out of like 10 was a sub 20 solve. But yesterday i foind an old video of me cubing and it rlly made me want to restart. I forgot most of PLLs and 2 look OLLs. I re-learned full 2 look OLL yesterday and now im gonna try to re-learn 2 look PLL and ill update with a solve but i think that the new goal is gonna be sub 30. A lot of things happen since then, like pTr incident. anyway, l'est keep all these bad things away, now i gotta find my gan and buy some lube !

yoo he’s back!!

here are my tips for sub-20
learn some advanced F2L cases (master them too)
learn full PLL
solve cross in 8 moves or less
turn fast for each pair (focus on lookahead once you’re already sub-20)

thanks caleb, this means a lot to me, just before i quitted, i had just learned full pll so i guess it wont be hard since there is muscle memory. but the hardest part was the f2l (not exaggerating, i do at least 3-4 rotations during f2l and i focus too much on speed instead of lookahead. like i find a pair, solve it super fast, check for the next pair (after). tbis like used a lot of time. i saw some ppl sating to slow down during f2l like always the same flow. do you think this is a food tip for me?)

you wanna alternate your TPS. For last layer you wanna turn fast, while for F2L you wanna turn at like 50% or even 40% speed. But it’s all useless if you don’t know advanced F2L and how to solve pairs into the back. So here’s the progression flow I recommend:
Finish learning 2-look OLL and PLL
Re-learn full PLL
Learn advanced F2L algs/the 42 F2L algs and memorize them so well that you will instantly do them without thinking (might be an over exaggeration but basically just know the cases like a multiplication table)
Learn how to solve F2L pairs into the back. not all pairs, just some of them. Don’t go out of your way to solve every single F2L pair into the back though. Make sure you learn the annoying cases ASAP
Then once you’ve done all this, focus on lookahead.

For lookahead you want to make sure you mastered all the F2L cases you’ve learned really well. Turn slower to about 50% or 60% of your maximum TPS (you’ll feel it and see it). Then, spot your first F2L pair, then look for your next pair immediately after while solving your first pair. If you’ve spotted your second pair, then good, find your third pair.
Once you’ve gotten used to 50% TPS then increase slowly.


This is all general advice though so if you are still struggling then you can DM me for critiques

thank you vrey much ¡

I just realised that i completely lost my 500+ 3x3 solves cstimer session. Also got a 2x2 and a pyra from a guy at school

 

[Sub20Soon]

got a VERY lucky scram on 2x2 (using beginner LBL) i actually got a 3.27 sinlge. I got like and easy first layer with a complete LL skip with just a U' adjustement. Here is the scram : U F' R' F U' F' U' R' U'

Edit : I will start learning full ortega it doesn't seem that hard
Edit: got a 2.33 single

 

[Sub20Soon]

Yo guys i am looking for a new 2x2 (like a magnetic one) but idk which one to get. I don't want one at like 80 bucks maybe like under 25-30 bucks. So which one should i get É

Moyu WRS or the MGC beta

 

[Sub20Soon]

Yea i was looking forward for the YJ MGC beta ballcore cuz i asked on r/Cubers and everyone said so. Seems like a great cube for grinding to sub-5. Thank you caleb !

 

[Sub20Soon]

guys im kinda cooked i average 35 secs

 

[Caleb Valenzuela]

guys im kinda cooked i average 35 secs

just keep solving

 

[Sub20Soon]

just keep solving

yo ok im averaging between 25 and 33
