Should've been sub-13, but I started concentrating on the second last solve. I find myself faster when I'm in a sort of daydreaming state...
When I start concentrating, I just tense up and not look ahead...
But the first 13 solves are usual-ish.

I will put the times here when I can be bothered, but they re shown at the end of the video, I hope.
Oh, and ignore my tuneless whistling; it helps me not concentrate too much :)

Nope.
My friend got me a zhanchi over the summer break from hong kong because that where his grandparents live.
This cube is partly responsible to my sudden drop in times :D

That reminds me, I should lube and tension it. I never lube my cubes lol.

Thanks! =)
yup, my CMLL and second block have always been slow, ever since I was a beginner... Heh, I think I might regret the constant lack of work...
And yeah looks like I've gone quite a way since I joined speedsolving... In both ways.

Hope you get sub-14 soon.

im stuck at like 17 seconds xD But I dont practice at all anymore.

Congrats, and I really like watching you solve, its really fluid.

as for your CMLL I feel like its mostly you dont try and see it as you finish the SB.

tbh though its not bad at all (CMLL i mean)

Yeh, my CMLL isn't AWFUL anymore, but it's still the 'weakest link...'


Nice. I really like how you do your blocks. Well done.

(LSE and CMLL are pretty normal, though, at least in my eyes)

Thanks, my blocks are a bit different to most people's, and they are rather fast for my ability if I say so myself ;)


I love your solves; they look so cool. I'm going to go practice some Roux now, since it's my worst out of the "Big 4" methods :p

Thanks; Roux looks cool doesn't it hm?
Good luck with it, you might even want to switch :D

My first block (when necessary) uses quite a few E moves and Uw/Bw moves which is somewhat uncommon.
And CMLL is also my weakest point; I cant seem to execute the alg fast without locking up...
