I thought FMC used ETM instead of OBTM, my bad

As already said, learning NISS was very hard for me, which brought me an DNF official avg
Maybe I should try blockbuilding too
What do you suggest?

Well NISS isn’t required to be able to use blockbuilding/insertions, it just makes it much easier, especially when it comes to pseudo blocks. But with blockbuilding essentially you try to efficiently build a 2x2 block, then expand it to a 2x2x3, and then F2L minus one pair. Then, usually the best thing to do is solve all the edges so you’re left with anywhere from 3-5 corners left to be solved. These can be solved with what’s called a commutator (I won’t explain this rn but J perms video explains it super well) and since a commutator only affects those 3 corners, you can swap them at any point during your solution. You’ll want to find where you can do it so the most moves are cancelled, for example, one time I cancelled 6 moves (basically the 3 moves after inserting the commutator undid the last 3 moves of my commutator). I hope that made sense, as I said, J perm explains it better in his FMC playlist.

Hello guys,
I have decided to remove the "6 months thing" as I have not been following this weekly, so its now a regular progression thread.
I have broken new PBs, so time to update my accomplishments. And I'm going to my 4th comp:

Twist 'n Turn Hyd Open 2026 | World Cube Association

See you with my new PBs!

High chance of registering (I haven't as of now) so here are my goals:
Misc: Meet my friends on discord I guess, and compare my results 9 months ago (it changed a lot)
3x3: My PR single is 20.24, and my PR average is 22.56, so guess I should just beat that (I need to be top 100K). My single should obviously sub-20, but maybe sub-19 or even lesser. My average, well, I'm just excepting it to reduce, I don't know how much though.
2x2: Just shatter my times as much as possible.
4x4: I have 1:56.10 PR single, but I average 1:30 now. I just wanna break the cutoff, please!
5x5: I MUST have a single now, but I can't break the cutoff, 2:00 is hard.
OH: I MUST break cutoff (I will def), but a good average is all I need.
Clock: Idk how I'm gonna get sub-1:00 in 2-3 weeks, let alone sub-30 😭. I just have to get a single.
Megaminx: I can't break cutoff too, so I have to get a good single.
Pyraminx: So I have to get amazing times, and get top 14K in pyra avg.
Skewb: Get good times ig, my avg is really beatable.
