Isn't 4x4 a big cube? that and 3x3 are my faves so I've always liked them. but yeah, I'm not too good at 5x5+.

Isn't 4x4 a big cube?

technically: "yes" . . . but
accctuallly: No. y'see, it's sorta like the 2×2

so basically, the 4×4 is kinda like the "pocket cube" of big cubes

alr, I have been practicing with the tripod and taping my solves and finding a good angle. I have discovered that it isn't rocket science lol. pretty hard to completely be out of the frame.

The comp is in 4 days… nervous. Not sure if I can hold my breath for that long.

i Really want to make 3x3 second round.

what do you average? (I haven't looked at the previous posts so I might be totally oblivious) and what comp are you going to?

For 3x3 I average low 16 right now and can pretty easily get a sub 16 ao5 when I’m locked in. For 4x4, I’m sub 1 unless it’s a bad day. 2x2 I’m sub 5 but nerves destroy me. My Pyra is bad with around a 13 second avg. I’m going to the LA newcomers

So, I have a question about the comp. I plan to film some of my solves with my phone, but from what I understand, there are some rules about having ones mobile device on them in the waiting area? will they say something if I clearly have the phone mounted on my tripod?

I don't think so. I use my phone too, and I just hold it in my hand, turned off, until it's my turn to solve.

What Gc perm alg do you use?
I just learned a new one yesterday and wanna know if you use the same one.

just the one jperm taught lol.

the korean nr holder for 2x2, fmc, and mega is coming to the LA Newcomers. Unfortunately, they made it harder to move on to second round for 3x3. originally, it was top 75% move on, but now it is top 125 move on. not going to be easy lol. not sure if it's possible.

Do what you did when we raced and you should be fine (the two 12s)

not the one I use xD
Here's the one I use: (headlights left) U2 R2' F2 (R U2' R U2') R' F (R U R' U') R' F R2 U'

good to know, it kooks interesting
it seems to be a few moves more that the "generic" one I learned from JPerm's video on fingertricks
On a good day I can do JPerm's J perm alg + U' auf and do that a 2nd time to solve it back, in abkut 1.75s

I saw (somewhere here) one somebody offered a new alternative that involved a couple Wide moves
and that one was also like a couple moves frwer than Dylan Wang's J perm

worth ckecking out, could potentially be even faster once you lock in the sequence with Wide moves and all
