Fun fact: this would place him in the top 300 in FMC in the world.

Damn Chris. You beat my spot in the top ZZ ao5s by .02 lol. Looks like I've got to go set a new pb

Yeah. This is also just talking about pair-pair multislotting. It's often really easy to to a full 1x2x3 in 1 step. There's also just as many, if not more cases for slanting, which is probably the most common multislotting technique, and normal keyhole is a lot nicer because you never have to...

First point: No, EOline is not objectively less fingertricky than cross. I can consistently sub 2 my EOlines, and about 80-85% of the time, sub 1.5 them. I can say with absolute certainty, they are often quite fingertrick friendly. If you were to do the completely optimal solution, they wouldn't...

Those aren't all that great algs. I'd recommend the algs here: https://www.cubeskills.com/uploads/pdf/tutorials/4-look-last-layer.pdf Those are the best algs you can find. Once you know all of these, I would start working on 1 look PLL, so you can do last layer in 2 steps rather than 3. After...

OCLL and PLL are definitely a great start toward getting faster. When I started out with ZZ, I used OCLL and PLL until I averaged about 20 seconds, then I started learning COLL algs to help me with getting sub-20. As long as the alg set works for you, I wouldn't really advise switching until...

Hey @4Chan , what's up with the new Silk rerelease? I thought you couldn't get the ingredient from the shady foreign suppliers? Did you figure out a replacement ingredient, or get a new source of it?

Hey, it's on my birthday! I wish I could go, cause it's right by where I live, but I'm gonna be out of town :(

That's good that you know 2LLL, the more you put it into practice, the more comfortable it'll be. Same with EOline. And as for practice, ZZ is luckily one of the easiest methods to practice with, because you don't really need fancy drills, just sitting down and solving is some of the best stuff...

It's great to hear you're improving so much! I would say don't worry about CN too much, just practice on your main orientation until EO detection is completely unconscious. I don't think I learned CN until I averaged 15-17ish. It's a lot easier if a transition than with CFOP too, I was able to...

ZZ is really tough at first, trust me. It gets a lot easier with time, and you'll get a lot better. And for EO detection, it just starts to become second nature. I've probably done at least 25-30,000 solves with ZZ, and after a while, you don't have to think about whether edges are oriented or...

It just comes with practice. I can detect edges basically instantly, and plan out the whole EOline in about 5-8 seconds. I've used ZZ for almost 2 years though, but it gets way easier once you practice more. Just focus on planning out EO, then add tracking the line pieces, and then try to plan...

So I'm trying to create more algs for a WVCP method. Right now, some algs are missing, and others are awful. How do you generate algs that are finger trick friendly, like the algs in ZC-CT? I've tried cube explorer, and the algs were awful

Wow. That looks really difficult to recognize... I may just stick to ZZLL
