Late intro

[byliu88]

Hi!

I'm Brandon and I guess I started cubing in 3rd grade, when my brother taught me the beginner's method. I think I was probably at 1:30 at best, but after like 4th grade I kind of stopped playing with it. Around August 2011 (now I'm 7th grade) , I heard about speedcubing and bought an F-II (should've gotten a Dayan cube), learned CFOP and 2 look OLL and PLL, and today my times are around 23ish average with my Zhanchi that I recently purchased. I plan to go to the New Albany Open since I live right nearby, which would be my first competition. Thanks for taking a look!

so what methods do u use?
do u have any other puzzles?
where do u live? (EDIT: oops just saw that u live in Ohio...)
etc etc questions just to get to know u

I still use CFOP with two look oll/pll, but I'm trying to learn full PLL and maybe full OLL also. I plan to learn old pochmann for BLD solving afterwards.

I still use 2L CFOP, but I'm trying to learn full PLL and maybe full OLL also. I plan to learn old pochmann for BLD solving afterwards.

wait do u mean 4 look?
isnt 2 look full pll and oll?
maybe im just stupid

You are correct, 2 look last layer (2LLL) is full OLL and full PLL. 4 look LL means 2 steps for each of OLL and PLL.

so i thought
maybe he meant 2 look pll and 2 look oll?

It doesnt mean its OLL and PLL. It could be CLL/ELL, COLL/EPLL, LLE/L4C. Don't confuse new members like that.

Edit: I need to actually read my post before I do.

Yeah sorry for the confusion, I meant to say two look oll and two look pll, my bad. I was just working on solving color neutral, and it honestly wasn't as hard as I initially imagined...

Hi.
Look at the forum competitions. They should help you improve.
