Off Topic but:

I just looked at your WCA profile. I thought you averaged 23ish at OH?

I wasn't doing OH? I am not fast enough to sub 14.50 OH.

First sub 1:30 4x4 solve! I thought I was doing really bad, and wasn't looking at the timer the whole time. Then I saw 1:24, and just had a t perm and, bam! 1:29.31. (lol I fumbled a lot during that t perm. Now to get that every time...

I wasn't doing OH? I am not fast enough to sub 14.50 OH.

he meant he thought you normally get 23, but our official average is 20

I average sub 22- sub 21.
The 20.40, well I don't really know how I did it exactly...

How long did it take you to get that?

I wasn't trying for it. I was doing a prepared solve, screwed up, and got this.

[DaveyCow]

I've known for a while now that lookahead in F2L is the top thing I need to work on. But I realized tonight that the second-top if not on par with that is my needing to "just recognize colors that are in front of me" and not turn them into the words "blue-green" or "red-yellow". I tried it and my mind felt more relaxed and I felt like it was a big step in my improvement - I'm not gonna see improvement right away, but I definitely think this was a huge step in my understanding of the cube (and myself ) Anyway, I consider this an accomplishment, hence I posted it in this thread...

 

[5BLD]

Yeah, I sometimes mutter 'blue-red' repeatedly for example because it helps me look for it...

 

[DaveyCow]

Yeah, I sometimes mutter 'blue-red' repeatedly for example because it helps me look for it...

yeah exactly what I do! you're way faster than me already do you dont need to worry, but I definitely need to not do that... as I say my mind felt more relaxed and I think this is something I totally need to work on to help me improve ...

although I will try to repeat to myself "red-red..." to remind myself of whats on D (since I'm color neutral)

cubing is so exciting and fun and neat

 

[5BLD]

Why not just look on U to figure out our cross colour?
