Hmm, that's helpful, thanks.
Kirjava became less active about when I did, but it looks like he's still competing and cubing in general. See if you can email him?
In that case, I'll be happy to critique anyone slower than me. I can't update my signature, but I can pull a sub-15 ao5 most days. Any sub-12 folks interested in yelling at me for bad lookahead?
Nope, rest of the time is recognition. I have awful alg speeds for ll, too. I average close to 14 until I get an n-perm or bad oll case, which adds another two seconds, which screws up my average.
Yeah, I'm sub-17 and only know full OLL and all PLL. My f2l is 7 seconds, my ll algs take a bit over 2 seconds each on average. It's sad, and I'm drilling them to get better, but I'm this close to sub 15.
Yes. Older cubes are often amazing, but don't have the uber-light feel that we've been spoiled with. My single and average PBs are both on a 3-year-old cube, and were on a 4-year-old one before that.
