In the beginning when I was learning PLL's I could not perform a F or 'F without regrip. That might have changed. So I will look into this standard again

What about: R' U' R2 U' L U2 R' U R U2' L' R' U R' U R for the Y perm?

Im not a CFOP user myself but it seems like a better alg than the one you are using.

 

[Endgame]

my old Y perm is quite fast and it also works on SQ1 lulz

R2 U' R2' U' R2 U R2 D' R2 U R2' U' R2 D R2

Last friday I had a PB on Ao50. I had 35 something. Today I had a Ao 100 session and broke my PB again. And the last 12 broke my Ao12!

 

[ThomasJE]

Wow... How long did that take? Also, your consistancy is also improving (3.73 standard deviation - 10.79%).

 

[MarcelP]

I don't know but I think around 1.5 hour - 2 hours.

And I just did this:

My first sub 18:

U2 R F D' L' F D B L' U' R B U2 R B' D R2 U' B2 R F' D R2 F2 U

Nice! I'll reconstruct that today. Also, how are you getting along on 4x4 and 2x2?

 

[MarcelP]

As you can see, I tried inmediatly the same scramble on my 4 X 4. LOL that was 20 seconds slower:

I suck at 4 X 4. I have no speedcube intentions for the 4 X 4 so that is ok. I just did a few 2 X 2 averages of 5 and average around 12 seconds. So no improvement there. But I have not been practicing that.

Your TPS has been improvd by 50%, and that's quite a lot. Also, your movecount had decreased by around 30%. And the time... That's almost halved. And all that in two months. You'll be sub-30 by Christmas.

Way to go Marcel!

Wooohoo! Thanks!

Thanks Thomas. 3.86 Tps Wow. I had my first pop on a Zhanchi. I guess that has to do with speed aswell. I am finally starting to believe that sub 30 is an option with much practice before Christmass.. <<Knock on wood>>

You will get pops now you're knocking on sub-30's door. Now you're at this speed, your cube is becoming a larger factor, so it may be worth playing with the tensions and lubing it more often. When you get to around 20 seconds average, it may be worth getting a pre-modded cube. But don't worry about that now, and concentrate on getting through to sub-30.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

VERY well done Marcel!

Impressive

 

[Endgame]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
broke my single PB by 0.12ish

I bought a lubix zhanchi pre-modded and pre-tensioned. The only thing I changed are the tensions, but the cube is amazing. The best one I've ever used.

 

[guusrs]

Wonderful! well done Marcel.
3.18 tps, that's above my average!

 

[MarcelP]

I wish my averages where close to yours Unfortunatly they are double the time.. LOL

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Ok.. was looking through the list of names for Voorburg.

Where is yours? Do we have to drag you from the house kicking and screaming or are you coming voluntarily?

Nice! You're getting very close...

 

[moralsh]

So close to sub 30!

You better hurry up on getting sub 30 as I appear to be one month behind you on progress and if you don't make it in a month or so I won't be able to get there by Christmas!
