Thanks guys for the news

Like the title describes, I haven't been into cubing news for quite a while, so there's some new stuff that I might not know. Anyone cares to answer: 1. New 3x3 single? Yusheng Du? Who's that? 2. Speedsolving metas are still cfop, zz and roux? 3. Any new notable alg (sub)sets (3x3) in the past...

How much time do you spend on cross?

The same applied to me when I was getting into oh. The same thing with two handed fingertricks: practice. (I'm practicing F/F' moves too ;))

As someone who just got into squan recently (avg sub 1), I would like to ask a few questions: 1.Is inconstancy due to recog time and cs? 2. How I improve cs? (maining the star first method) 3. Should I go for cp/ep or double parity?(edit: it's double pll)

Of course yup

I'm surprised that nobody had made any jokes about Michael and his pineapple cube here.

If the algs are fingertricky and reasonably long (I prefer them to be short) and one more corner isn't going to affect my cross much then you'll have my support!

Does anyone have any idea of what TPS is needed for sub 1?

Turning style comes with time, I was using one of those cubes they sold in market places which had non-existent corner cutting but was still able to adjust to a gans sm (using gts2 m now).

Should I use yau 5, or freeslice? I'm aiming for fairly consistent times (within ±10 seconds)

If I'm not wrong you can do a y perm and in the middle of the first oll (of the y perm) you can insert the pll parity.

From a 20-second, ex-zz, cfop solver: I don't see how zz and cfop are that different but I've noticed that for f2l, zz has (slightly) harder to execute f2l cases (talking about last pair here) that cfop has, such as the case which both corner and edge are connected and the colors facing up are...

For pll has anyone compiled a list of algs for the remaining cases with parity? Thanks in advance

Yup, tried it on wuque and gts2. Had some problems (cos partly I'm new) and it's strong enough (as long as you don't drop another mag on an existing one and remove the stray one). It dries quick but needs a lot more (around a drop with a diameter of 3mm). It's so quick drying that I can...
