Duckies ultimate and interesting and fascinating or not very good progress stories

[Jared Burkhart]

Alright chat now I'm using Eac or Eac 2.0 for 4×4 slowly geting faster so far pb is 4min because I'm kinda slow at it but its very good for starting with it recently

That's great to know man! Keep pushing yourself and practice; you'll see yourself getting faster!

Practice makes perfect
And it is already getting close bro
Keep it up!

Yo chat guess what I found my rubiks cube and;

26.81 on RUBIKS cube pb!
Starting to get a bunch of sub 30s now and I am practicing winter variation studying (like when you have 3 yellow edges done and an f2l pair to get oll skip way better than 2 step oll also might memorize the algroithems to get the 3 yellow edges in one move) and I am getting veryryry fast at f2l and trying to do cross more quick maybe I'll look into recognizing pll cases too.
As for 4×4 ladt time I tried with Eac 2.0 I got almost sub 4(4:12 or smth) I am getting better at it I'll update you tommorw maybe about it
For pyraminx I ain't using it much but I was learning l4e intuitively just gotta learn the algroithems to get faster than sub 15

lets go bro!!
idk think WV could be used in regular CFOP tho, i recommend learning ZZ or Orcora Petrus
and good job abt your F2L and 4x4 times
And buy a better pyraminx (maybe magnetic) and learn L4E, youll atleast sub-10 (maybe sub-8) trust!

Thank you brother do you think apb would work for wv I mean it has edge orientation and stuff maybe after inserting the white edge instead of lxe (though I'm not really good at these methods after the absolute failure in getting good at FRBN) I think my pyraminx os prerty good it doesent lockup and is smorth my problem with it is fingertricks and l4e I'll focus on pyraminx after 4×4

In certain cases it can. J perm’s PR uses WV iirc

i recommend learning ZZ or Orcora Petrus

IMO I feel like WV wouldn’t work on ZZ. Your optimal LS solution won’t always be a (setup to) WV. I think it’s better to do OLL/PLL than that

Thank you brother do you think apb would work for wv I mean it has edge orientation and stuff maybe after inserting the white edge instead of lxe

Again, your optimal LS solution won’t always be a (setup to) WV.

NICE ONE MAN CONGRATSSSSS!

Nice progression man! Keep pushing yourself and try to keep yourself fresh on puzzles to avoid forgetting things.

apb would work for wv

It could work, but the ergonomics from using WV instead of LS->OLLPLL is worse. It kinda depends on what you want. If you want to be efficient by a few more moves with lower TPS, then go for WV (although, as a TPS spammer, i don’t see why you would want to save like 4-5 moves at the cost of TPS)

Starting to get a bunch of sub 30s now and I am practicing winter variation studying (like when you have 3 yellow edges done and an f2l pair to get oll skip way better than 2 step oll also might memorize the algroithems to get the 3 yellow edges in one move) and I am getting veryryry fast at f2l and trying to do cross more quick maybe I'll look into recognizing pll cases too.

I would still recommend learning some of the 1-look OLL cases since it will be faster than WV in the long run.

yes I am learning some 1 look oll cases too I dont really use wv in times solves right now just experminting with it and trying to learn it I mean my tps sucks so much and even if I dont main wv maybe sometimes it'll be better to use it when I get rhe chance yk in the future

 

[Mr.Ducky]

Just randomly got sub 25 while practicing tps I got cross -1 and free f2l pair and a bunch of easy pairs then got a very easy pll (F perm)

LETS GO BRO!!!
whats the scramble?

 

[Mr.Ducky]

27.67 avg of 5 too beo what
24+28+29+31+26
anyway these aren't really official app scrambles im scrambling them randomly and using timer

makes sense now

 

[Mr.Ducky]

makes sense now

Note: 22 one is dnf, 27 is +2 and same for the 31 to
Edit; this is like 31s avg but if I make another session and doing sub 30s consistent I'll get avg of sub 30

 

[Mr.Ducky]

Yo chat so basically now I am using roux all of a sudden (not really maining it unless I can figure out how to get faster in first 2 blocks) so my time for making 2 block uh you dont wanna know its in the 40s but for the last layer and 6 edges stuff its super fast these are pretty light work I just need to get better in firdt 2 blocks my average for roux right now is around 40

 

[Mr.Ducky]

Yo chat so here are my nww goals since I already got sub 25 and 30 so basically I am now focusing more on big cubes (maybe I will try to get sub 5 minutes 5×5 aftwr I learn it properly and sub 1-2 minute megaminx) ans maybe sub 20 rubiks cube also if anyone needs tips I am here this thread anyone can ask for help or if you can anyone help me with megaminx
