Just finished learning my last PLL. Finally.

Now I just have to improve my F2L and do a bunch of PLL time attacks so I can get an 18s solve and qualify for the US Open.
 
Almost sub-17 2H average... 17.05 seconds.
But I got a few non-lucky sub-14's and a lucky sub-13 in the full session of 50. I'm done with OH for a long time and I'm done with doing loads of cubing for awhile as well. My left wrist is so stiff relative to my right its not good at all.
 
oh yeah, after I get my first sub-1 min, a few days later, I get my first sub-50, very close though, 49.99 then 49.24 and a few days later, I get my 46.27 solve!! Although for that solve, since I sacmbled it on my own, I got the cross pieces in one place so it is kinda easy to solve the cross under 10 secs, but I don't skip any steps and I think my looking ahead is very good. So, it's time to switch to Frid Method.

Frid method, here I come!!!!!
 
2x2 record of 2.23. I tried the same scramble for a second time and got 1.55. Too bad that doesnt count, lol.

Everyone try this scramble: R2 U2 L2 B2 U2 F2 L2 F' L' U' B' D' R2 F R' F' R2 F D' L' D' F' D L F
 
I broke my megaminx record with a time of 3:32.75. I beat it by .14 seconds!

Hehe Zac :D

All I gotta beat is 3:32? Ok, whatever, give me a few days of practice. How does one week sound? If I win... (I gotta think of a prize, lol)

Edit: Lofty, what's up with the new type Ds? Are they good or something? I haven't checked out stores much, so I wouldn't know.

Ok well in my previous posts I alluded to breaking from OH and was doing just that for the past couple days. But today with Ryan's new WR I started practicing again. So my accomplishment is:
13.31 OH single with a 2LLL my 12.75 had a 1LLL with ZBLL but this was sune + A. A was done sub-2 and sune was done sub-1 :-)
Edit: 1.58 first try on that 2x2 scramble but only cause I knew it would be lucky so hit the timer with out checking for U adjustment or making sure a regular sune had worked.
Edit2: I have not used a type D but look around the hardware thread and im sure you find loads of threads on how great they are.

26.67 avg100 OH:

The 26.17 was an overdue PLL skip, followed by a badly handled PLL skip: 16.06 :)

There are several silly things in here, like a 21 that had a J before 14 (i.e. should be 17-ish non-lucky) with a minor POP during PLL. :(
Also, the total average is terribly high, and I went sub-25 avg for too short.
 
I just got a nice average :) I think free running helps with cubing, it kindof uses up all of your energy and makes you tired enough to solve well :)

Average: 19.45 seconds
Individual Times: 17.25, 17.94, (25.34), 21.89, (17.17), 18.20, 20.53, 19.05, 17.25, 20.22, 23.97, 18.20

I zoned out through most of the solving, but the all of the 17s were non lucky. The 18.20 had a really nice start (2x2x3 block almost instantly) but the LL was bad :(

This isn't my PB average, but it's really nice. Besides that, I think it's only the 4th sub 20 avg I've gotten in my life, not counting all of the rolling averages that lead up to this.
 
Oh yeah, i've just shattered my pb by 3 seconds and average of 10 by 2 so now i am down to 36 seconds for pb and 38.13 for average :D . Progress is hapening fast and i don't know why but im happy.:p

Time to show those Fridrich clones what MGLS can do. :cool:
