Eric...

Wait, what about me?

I guess I'll reserve this post for my results as well.

 

[Brian Kremer]

Wait, what about me?

The second graph includes a line for you. It's a nice steep line, too... good job.

If you don't mind me asking, what has your strategy been for learning OH? In the last couple of weeks I've done a few cross/F2L solves OH but I tend to get confused on OLL.

 

[EricReese]

Oh. Yea I dont use CFOP. I use ZZ. Yea I avg like 1:03 so I dropped like another 20 seconds since my last posted time on here.

Basically I learned the algs for OH plls. I can supply themm to you if I want. But Basiically what I have done so far is

1. learn fingertricks (ask if you need me to tell you where)
2. Learn OH pll algorithms
3. Right now I am learning COLL which will complete all my algs for OH for now until I learn all the PLLs from different angles.

There is a site for OH oll algorithms. I haven't looked into them so I can't say whether i recommend learning them, seeing as I use ZZ for OH solves. Any other questions just let me know

Nice. Thank you! I figured there were more algorithms involved. I saw something about 2gen algorithms on some other thread and that sounded like it would be handy for OH. I will probably hold off learning more algorithms until I get my 2H times down some. Would you agree with that or do you think learning OH would help my 2H? I started doing F2L with a metronome last week and my times went the wrong way!

 

[freshcuber]

I'm learning BLD before learning a OH method. It depends on what you find the most fun. If you like 2H and want to improve then practice that. If OH really intrigues you then look into it. I dabbled in OH but didn't have the dexterity at the time so when I get back into it I'll spend a while just practicing fingertricks and then I'll learn some algs.

Practicing OH may help with 2H but the best way to improve your 2H times is to practice 2H. Working on other puzzles will improve general cubing skills such as look ahead, tps, familiarity with how the cubes move and other things.

Well depends on how easy you learn algs. It takes me about 10 minutes to learn 2 algs and then i just spend the day remembering those 2 algs. That night I set up the cases on my cubes. Then when I wake up in the morning I immediately sit up and solve those cases and if I success that means I know those algs.

If you have trouble learning algs then i recommend just learning 1 alg a day. it doesn't take very long and doing OH cant hurt your times. It makes your hand stronger and when you turn as slow as you will starting out for OH it forces you to lookahead.

I'd just go ahead and start doing OH also if you have the time. No reason to really put it off

I think this should actually be Round 33? I did slightly better this time, which mostly meant I had fewer mess ups. Plenty of room for improvement.

Busy so far this week and I haven't done a single solve since Sunday!!! Thanks for the responses, thought... I hope to work on OH in the new year.

I think this should actually be Round 33?

Ugh!!! Sorry! Fixed.
