Goals Thread

[Selkie]

Thanks guys, I'm often looking to blame slow turn on age. I guess I feel with 2LLL I can counter a slower turn speed.

Just beginning to be able to look ahead, I've tried it many times over the last month but just beginning to track pairs, albeit slowly. I should be more patient, but maybe some more F2L concentration is needed more than OLL. Thanks for the advise, appreciated

 

[danthecuber]

fix'd

but ya, still learn it, but just do it at a comfortable pace, there is no need to rush OLL

He's already learned 23 OLLS, how that rushing it? Thats 49 days to learn 34 algs. That seems plausible.

I have made problems for myself, even at this rate. I learned all G perms together, albeit over 2 days, learning the differences rather than the 4 sequences. Even now I have to consider in memory the differences in solving rather than recalling 4 set sequences. The effect on solves that your learning style gives is more prominent than I thought was possible. My LL is at least 10 secs. I guess getting better at the algs I know would be more productive. But I can already appreciate the disadvantages of cramming alg's at the expense of actually executing them

I need to mod my damn V6. I messed the core up so I need to either find screws that work better or buy a new core. AAGH!

Watch badmephisto's PLL videos. Make sure you're learning good algs too.

 

[Rubiks560]

Have a sub 2.50 average of 5 in a official comp, before the end of the year.

Thank for the advice, but I already am doing those things.
The G and N perm algs look scary, though.

 

[freshcuber]

The G's were the roughest on me. I spent an hour looking for a good way to execute the first one but after I got that one the others came quickly. Don't look at the diagrams on his website, they're confusing and nobody recognizes that way. Put your headlights on the left and look for where the 1x2 block is. N perms are sometimes a pain. I recommend learning the ones that have a z rotation in them. They're pretty speedy once you get used to them.

[danthecuber]

get 3x3x3 average of 12 sub 23
get 2x2x2 average of 12 to sub 20 (will get 2x2x2 today or tomorrow, that why the goal seems ridiculous)

Is it easy to start out sub-20 on 2x2x2?
